October 27, 2004
I had a migraine last night. A bad one. Although is there such a thing as a good migraine? I think not.
And the crazy thing is, I always wake with a craving for something sweet and something oh so bad for me. So I stood at my breakfast pantry this morning with mascara remnants under my eyes, and hair like medusa, and mismatched slippers (one grey one belonging to The Husband, the other leopard print belonging to yours truly .... grrrrr....) I scanned over Grape Nuts, Honey Nut Cheerios, Quaker Old Fashined Oats, Grits, Cream of Wheat - and I was dejected. "*Sigh*" Messy Hair Head hanging down. The Husband came over and said, "What the matter, Sweetie?" "There's nothing bad for me in here. I totally need bad for me." "What can I do? What can I get you?" "I need The Good Captain." "The Good Captain?" "Yes. Captain Crunch Cereal. No funky berries, either. Just the plain stuff." "Well then I will get you The Good Captain." "You're so good to me.
"Ouch!" "What? Is your headache back, baby?" "No. It's this darned cereal. It's so good in all of it's sugary badness but sometimes it's like chewing on chards of glass. You have to get just the right milk-to-cereal ratio or it doesn't get soft enough and you end up needing the roof of your mouth all stitched up." "Can I get you something else?" "Oh, thank you but no, honey." "Are you sure?" "Oh, yeah. I am totally going to eat the whole box." Posted by Foodwhore at October 27, 2004 11:27 AM
I'm glad your hubby is such a wonderful man and brought the dear captain to rescue you!! Posted by: Wendy at October 28, 2004 06:38 AM Ugh, migraines suck. I get them too -- you know there are some great new meds out there that can help stop them in their tracks... Posted by: Denise at October 28, 2004 06:59 AM Sometimes the Captain is the only thing that makes one feel better. I've been there... feel better! Posted by: Jennifer at October 28, 2004 09:30 AM Well, did you? Eat the whole box? Inquiring minds want to know... ~;^) Personally, I'd like to have one of those marzipan pumpkins like the one at the top of your 'page.' Mmmmmnnnnn.... Truly sorry about your migraine! I get auras. Sometimes. But Dear Husband gets the migraines. And by golly, you're right about what it looks like. I can hardly wait to tell him that... ~;^) Posted by: thefoxymama at October 28, 2004 02:17 PM Ahhhh, Captain Crunch. Definitely a cure-all. Hope you're feeling better today! Posted by: Barb at October 29, 2004 01:42 AM Speaking of the yummy looking pumpkin on the top of your page - did you make that??? It is really gorgeous... Posted by: Sasha at October 29, 2004 06:00 AM It has been said, and at times proven, that good sex is a cure for migraines. And it's less fattening than a box of the captain ;) Posted by: Bob at October 29, 2004 08:21 AM Only a real woman could do a whole box of Captain Crunch! So should we send money for your mouth work?
