Rant on Germs....
So here I sit, watching the morning news show, drinking my coffee, and they decide to do a segment on germs. Specifically germs on shopping carts. Supposedly they find such nasty things as Ecoli, Staph, Salmanilla, etc and of course the name of the segment being "The Secret World of Filth"....WHAT? Could we just send more panic into our already Germaphobic world? How long have those of us with kids been putting them in the shopping cart and doing fine? How many of us rode in those same damn carts and LIVED???? My god people, they make it sound like if you don't sanitize every single thing, you or your child may DIE.....WTF???
Its no wonder we have cancer beyond control...all the preservatives etc in our food. We have children with asthma, low immune system function, and other illnesses....because we are germaphobs. We have started taking our children, and ourselves, to get antibiotics for just a sniffle. Our systems don't have a chance to buld up an immunity to viruses, so we are actually becoming weaker. When will we all WAKE UP and realize that our fast food, pesticides and preservatives are KILLING US????? Probably won't be in MY generation.

A bit, but not all....
Ok, I know I've hinted at information in other posts, and today I'm going to give you just a bit of insight, but not all of it..hee hee :)
Today the DH started a new trucking job. The old one was just screwing him over. They promised 4 days on, 2 off...HA! NOT....They promised and trained him to haul acid...he MIGHT have hauled a load a week..pffftt.
Anyway, point being he found a company here locally that is small, and has more loads than they have drivers. He will be home every other night, and in some cases he can be home more. He gets 2 days off a week, just has to let them know which ones. He can bring the truck home (woohooo!!) which is a major time and gas savor on my end. So all in all, its great! Sure beats the hell out of being gone for 2 or 3 weeks at a time, layed over in some town for the weekend and not getting paid.
As for the other news, I can't yet elaborate. I'll know some info tomorrow, but until we go through the entire process and get....oh shit, can't say that! LOL
I'll keep ya posted...I'm off to plan this evening's meal for when the DH comes home from work... :)

MORE SHOES!!!
I told you I was a shoe/boot freak...got this pair in the mail today. Ordered them off of eBay and they ROCK!!
How can you not love these???? LOL
How can you not love these???? LOL
Halloween, St. Louis, and SHOES!!!!
Ok Ok...so its been forever, I know....BUT I've been busy!! Ok, maybe not THAT busy, but I've just had things to do, and I've been spending time with the DH. Is that a bad thing? lol
So, as most of you know, we dressed up for Halloween as Danny and Sandy from GREASE. We had a ball! Went to a party, and although the band wasn't bad, and they played a variety of songs, all of the songs sounded the same. They played the same style of music for every song, no variety. But nonetheless, we had a good time.
Also, there was a couple there that came as "Dead Wedding Couple"...the makeup and attire was awsome!
And of course, I met ELVIS!!! woohooo!!
Here are some singles of DH and I.
So on Saturday we decided to go to St. Louis and have a nice weekend with no family, no animals, nothing but US. We had a really nice time, shopping around in different districts, and even an outlet mall that was completely inside....(usually outlet malls have the entrances to the stores all from the outside). And as a first, DH ate at a Chinese place in the food court, lol. I guess the explaination would be that he has always been leary of oriental food, and has a complete aversion to rice, but this time he ordered some spiced honey chicken. I know most of you say "so what? it was just chicken!" But for him, it was a HUGE step, and I was so proud! LOL
We went, as I said, to all kinds of malls and shops. And since I am a complete shoe nut, we just couldn't leave without getting at least ONE pair! Nope, I got TWO!! LOL...so one was a cool pair of purple heels, and I couldn't resist the coolest pair of BOOTS!!
Now as for the shoes....oh boy do I need to get some gel inserts for the front. I wore them for 5 minutes and thought I was gonna cry! There is NO cushion and as most women know, beauty is painful, but damn, this was outragious! LOL The boots are just so awsome, when worn with a pair of skinny leg jeans, they look HOT!! LOL
Other things are going on here, but at the moment I can't discuss them for fear of jinxing it!
One last thing, depending on the stuff I can't yet discuss (could I be any more vague?), that will determine if I will be able to go to my great friend "Jade's" house in Wisconsin for a few days. I'm hoping I can go, but there are so many variables right now, I just don't know. So Jade, please be patient!! :)

So I haven't posted here in a few days, its funny how life can just run off with you and not stop.
Anyway, I had a rough day on Friday. As most know , I have...had...a Mastiff. He was my baby. I simply love the bully breeds, and Mastiffs are my absolute favorites. Anywho, my life is starting to take a turn in an unknown direction. So I've had to make some decissions that I don't like. The Brat in me has had to be put in the corner and told to be quiet. I have had to put away my selfish desires and do what is best for my life as a whole. THat meant and means getting rid of some of my animals.
Ben, the Mastiff, will be 2 in Dec. He is still a puppy for another year, even at 200lbs. I just didn't have the time for him and wanted something more for him. So I called a friend in Wisconsin who has trained and titled dogs in the past and asked her if she wanted him. Not just to train in a working capacity, but as a companion as well. She was delighted. Friday she drove down to pick him up.
It was a sad day, as I really love that dog. But I know in my heart of hearts he is in a way better environment, and is so smart that he will thrive with her. SHe has the time, energy, and means to do all kinds of things with him, so for that, I am happy.
I must change topics now before I cry again....
In other news, I got the wig fixed for my costume, and all of the other components in place. The only thing I need to do is get some white contact paper and cut out the T-Birds logo for the back of the DH's leather jacket. I have been racking my brain all month trying to figure out how I was going to get that on there without ruining the jacket, or making it look cheap, and this morning it dawned on me...contact paper! LOL I can cut out the logo, put it on the jacket and just peel it off at the end of the night...no harm to the jacket! (sometimes I have these brilliant ideas and they just floor me for days rofl)
In other news, I think today I am going to get some 'excess' stuff out of the shed and garage, take pics of it and post it for sale on Craigslist or eBay. I have chicken stuff, dog stuff, etc that I'm not using anymore that can be better used with someone else, and I can sure use the cash! lol
Yesterday I took some time for me and went shopping. I got the contact paper, and bought a new sweater. I finished the DH's jacket last night, and managed to have time to watch some tv and sit in the hot tub.
To resolve the mystery, DH and I are dressing up for Halloween as Danny and Sandy from the movie GREASE.
Here is the skirt I made:
I'll post the jacket later.

Crazy life
Yeah, I know, my past posts have been pretty somber, and not fun to read. I think we all go through 'down' times, and that was just my way of getting through it.
Not that any of you care, but things around here are getting exciting. BUT....I can't go into it right now as I don't want to jinx it. But lets just say that the DH and I are turnaing over a new leaf. We have opened up with each other way more, accepted things that we weren't sure about, and both of us just decided that we aren't perfect and thats ok. We have spent the last 7 years not communicating very well, and assuming things....we've also just been 'existing' in our marriage. That has all changed. Communication and acceptance are the key, and we are both the better for it. We are more relaxed around each other, more able to be ourselves with no fear of being teased, ridiculed, laughed at, or thought of as anything but perfect. Its like a huge weight being lifted off of not only each of us personally, but suddenly our marriage is somehow more 'free'.
Yeah, some of you are saying WTF?? but I don't care. My priority is my marriage, and the fun times to come. So stay tuned, as I will be leaking information in small bits throughout the near future! :)
