What to do after a terrible day?
So, yesterday Boyfriend and I had a huge date night- we went to see a local production of Avenue Q [my favorite musical ever that I knew he would love] and he decided to take me out to a nice dinner before hand (and then pie after for who knows why).

Prenatal Vitamin- Help?
I'd like to start off saying that no, I'm not pregnant. I have been noticing that certain meats make me really ill (namely; red meats and pork products), and I'm currently not in the position where I can afford to eat the meats that don't make me ill regularly (long story short, I am going to college... my parents pay for…
