Allergies!

So, I haven't posted in a while...but I thought I would blog about how I found out that I am allergic to almost everything!!! I am allergic to 25 things! It is totally crazy...and I feel oftentimes that I cannot eat anything. It is really hard to go out to eat, especially.
So...here is the list (I will try to remember everything)
Milk, all potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, pumpkin, radishes (who cares?), eggplant (gross), eggs, wheat, buckwheat, sunflower, safflower (used as an oil for pretty much anything pre-made), sesame, tomatoes (devastating), bell peppers, onion, garlic, cantaloupe, pineapple, millet (not a huge deal), almonds (so sad), walnuts, mustard, and 2 more I can't remember right now!

It has been really hard, but I am figuring out things that I can eat.  Sort of crazy, but oh well. I am moving out with a friend who took the same allergy test and figured out she is allergic to 23 things, and many of them are the same things I am allergic to. This will work out perfectly because we can eat weird together. I am really excited about moving out and living on my own again (well...with a roommate, that is). It will be great.
