Pretty Excited...

I was pretty excited this week when one of my good friend's daugther was selling cookie dough for a school fundraiser. She was all excited to tell me that she had cookie dough for me to order (they know that I always order stuff when it is for school. I almost never say no) and before I could even say "No thanks" she says they even have a Gluten Free one....I was seriously doubting that she knew what she was talking about, as I have only been gluten-free for about 2 months, and so I know that I haven't completely educated all of my friends even yet. So she brought me the order form to look at and they did have a gluten-free/CF Chocolate Chip Cookie Tub. AND...it was no more expensive then the other options, that kinda surprised me. I was totally amazed that even fundraisers are becoming more aware of special diets, and it was pretty exciting to know that I could still order and not have to give it away...and could still feel "normal"

Just wanted to share my exciting news!!

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

That is cool - surpising but cool! More awareness helps everyone involved!

that is very cool.

I normally don't order those things though because they're full of refined sugars and transfats. Both of which I avoid just as much as gluten!

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
