Jambalaya

Jambalaya - it's a Creole dish.  Kinda like a stew.  It's spicy -- as I typed this I thought, Well DUH -- it's Creole dish so, of course, it's going to be spicy, Angie!  Anywho...

Jambalaya [as defined by my college roommate Tanya when she observed me trying to carrying on a conversation with Joel] happens to be at the moment when I am put into a situation where my tongue gets tied and my heart goes all fluttery.  

I still get Jambalaya.  It's funny saying "I have a bad case of Jambalaya" outloud.  People in the vicinity are probably thinking, Does she NOT know that Jambalaya is a stew?

Would you rather have me say, "Seriously -- my tongue is tied and my heart is a-flutter"?  

I didn't expect to have a case of Jambalaya but I did.  And now it's got me thinking...Did you have jambalaya too?
