Fart Help

My fiance's family farts a lot, and it has been getting on my nerves.

Do you guys know what (besides beans, they don't eat that many beads) makes ppl fart a lot? They drink a lot of soda and eat a lot of frozen and canned convenience foods, so I'm geussing its some combination of this stuff.

Also, do you know of anything sneaky I can do to make them fart less? It's soooo annoying especailly considering that it's like a competition for them and a few of them have really NASTY smelling farts.

Thank you for your help.

Yucky Update- I AM IN MONTANA

I so need to get out of here. Ugh. OH well. At least I now have a good computer chair and a desk to sit at. At the same time, though, Jeremy's family is driving me nuts. Oh well, I'm just going to have to try to enjoy the break for now and keep my eye out for promising prospects, then start looking for a place to live when we can really afford it. Which we cannot right now. We just don't have the money, or the time, and I'm sick of moving. I don't want to do anything right now, let alone the cleaning I have to do with my fiance because our stuff takes up too much space (being that we have the SMALLEST room in the house and are not allowed to leave ANYTHING in the living room, and we're TWO people!). I'm so sick of it- anyone who knows what it is like to move out of a dorm room knows what I mean. You have to fucking make that room spic and span. Bleck.

My back has been giving me problems so we went to office max this morning to buy a computer chair. We spent $170 on the chair (and also picked up a $10 frame for my diploma- FUCK YOU JOSTENS/BALFOUR/ETC!), and it is pretty nice but it tilts down a little bit so I am thinking of getting a thingie to put under my knees so it doesn't tilt down. Just the seat tilts down, and everything else is fine. I'm hoping that'll help a little bit because my pet peeve when sitting down is having my knees lower than the rest of my body. I don't care if my feet don't touch the ground or if my knees are higher than my hips, but having them lower just makes me feel like I'm going to fall off the chair.

Lets see.. what else did I do today. I decoupaged a cut up cereal box to make a holder for some of my knitting magazines. When I get another box I'm going to make one more for some more, and possibly one more after that. I love decoupage, but I don't really have a lot to decoupage, so unfortunately that's not going to work very well. ;) Lets see.. I bought an Apple Pie candle at Walmart (TEH EVIL) today and I've been popping it on my candle warmer. Works like a charm. It's really nice. I'm hoping to find some better flavors than apple pie, but that can wait. I don't need to overstock on candles right now. I don't need to overstock on anything.

We went to the Golden Corral for breakfast this morning. It's a buffet place and they have a really good breakfast buffet. Great yummy eggs (REAL eggs), quiche, pancakes, waffles, fruit, cereal, milk, juice... grits, oatmeal.. You name it, they probably have it at breakfast. Yummy. I stuffed myself. Three full plates- that's a lot! I walked out of there feeling like I was going to fall over. Better not do that again any time soon. I'm in the market for a scale that can weigh my fat ass, and once I find one I am starting on an organized and concerted routine to get my weight down. I'm going to have to prep Jeremy so that he can help me, and maybe we can both do it, which I think would really help, since he's put on a bit of pudge too.

Lessee.... I've been cleaning our room, so not much else is going to happen till I'm done with that. I am hoping to get more sleep tonight, because I didn't sleep well last night. I didn't get to bed till really late last night because Jeremy wasn't.. well, I don't know what's going on with him, but basically he hasn't been very.. attentive to my needs in bed. I won't get into detail for you, but it's like he's either completely forgotten or completely given up on making me "happy," and that pisses me off because I'm getting frustrated. On top of that, he's kind of being a drag when it comes to showing me he loves me. Ah well. I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. Le sigh. I guess that's it for now. I'm sick of posting. Cross your fingers that the weather will be nice tomorrow so that I can photograph all the stuff I have made for Heathertoes Handmade photographed. It is mostly stuff I made a long time ago that I just want gone- 2 pairs of mittens, a camo scarf and hat from bulky yarn, a watchcap... a few other things. I also need to photograph the custom hat I made, and list that. Once I have the photos done I'll have listing material for a while, and I can start working on making some more stuff and cleaning out my yarn stash for more destashing. Huzzah.

2- Hanging out in Etsy Chat.
3- Knitting a custom hat for CC over at Etsy. (out of yummy malabrigo.. mm.. thankfully she must sell some of the stuff she makes, because she's not afraid to spend MONEY)

7- Trying to find my black embroidery floss so I can finish the amigurumi birdie I have made

Huzzah.

In love

Even though I don't know if it would fit my neck right, I am absolutely in love with this necklace. It is utterly and completely because of the gorgeous and dramatic pendant- the rest of the necklace can kiss my ass, but that pendant is breathtaking.

I wants it. I neeeeeeds it. So I am here to beg you to pleaaaaaaaase buy from my shop so I can buy this wooonderful pendant. Thank you.

/shameless begging

Journals!

I do customs as well- convo me for more info!



Buy my crap! Please!

No really, I love you all. Plus I feel bad after exposing you all to the terrible-ness.

Ew.

So I'm all happy, doing my thing in the bathroom, and I look over at the shower... and see something red in it.

I look closer- I think maybe it's from my peppermint soap, which has been known to leak color.

No such luck. The red is coming from several little clots of blood on the shower.

menstrual blood.....

I.

Hate.

My.

Roommate.

HOW CAN YOU NOT FUCKING NOTICE THAT YOU ARE DRIPPING BLOOD FROM YOUR VAGINA AND ONTO THE FUCKING FLOOR OF THE SHOWER? CAN YOU FUCKING WASH IT DOWN THE DRAIN, AT LEAST? PLEASE? SO I DON'T HAVE TO SEE IT?!

I'm going to go throw up now.

Flower Update

Welp, apparently my friend from etsy was correct, and there was nothing wrong with my amaryllis flower. This morning the 'weird' flower was indistinguishable from the rest except for the slight splotchiness on the petals. Freaky. Apparently those stamen parts SPLIT open and then turn inside out and.. come out looking normal.

The wonders of the plant world.

I'm trying to get seeds from my flowers :)

Flower Weirdness and another Journal

So I was looking at my second amaryllis today, and I noticed that the petals were a little splotchy on the most recently opening flower- this confused me greatly, so I decided to look closer. What I found was that the pictures were quite different.


The normal one is on the right and the weird one is on the left. Freaky, no?

Anyway, I made a couple journals today but I only got pics of one and it's up in the store now:

"I Believe I can Fly" Journal $8

Back to working on my hort paper. I'm soooo busy.

More Gudonya Raving

Well I got my latest (and hopefully last for a while, as I need to STOP SPENDING) Gudonya shipment in today, and received the following:

2 Vanilla Mint Lip Smoothies link
1 Bar Peppermint Floap link
1 "So Delicious" Body Kiss link
1 Wooden Soap Rest link
1 Opulence Hand and Nail Scrub link
1 Whipped Shea Butter link
1 Baby Legs Shaving Soap link

Here's my review. Keep in mind that I am totally going to keep buying from Gudonya, I'm just giving my honest opinion ;)

Lip Smoothies- Love the formula, but I can't seem to find the right flavor. Will stick to unscented from now on.
Peppermint Floap- You already know I love this.
Body Kiss- They contacted me today to say that the one they sent was part of a botched batch so they are sending a new one. I think it works OK as is but I'll update once they send another.
Soap Rest- Works great! If you don't already have a soap dish, this is an awesome choice
Opulence Scrub- Works great, smells terrible. Really, I'm going to use it, but it's awful. I don't know why, but I'm def. not buying it again. Sad that I struck out, but hoping I get used to it.
Whipped Shea Butter- Very nice. Scent is a little weird, and much smaller than I expected, but still nice. Not like they didn't TELL me what size it was. I was just surprised.
Shaving Soap- haven't tried it yet, will update when i do. But another SMELLS TERRIBLE. Like over-sweet cherry candy. Woahs.

They also sent me a free bath mitt which I am very happy about. Overall, very pleased with the order, and now know what to avoid in the future.

Busy Busy

So, tomorrow is the LAST DAY of classes. MEEP! I've still got sooo much work to do that I'm going crazy, but I'm doing it. I'm also trying to keep up with my Etsy Shop, which is working out pretty well but I don't think I have time to make another journal today so I think I might be listing some yarn tonight. We'll have to see. I'm going to be going nuts with work and stuff like that, so who knows.

I added some new features to the blog- if you wanna subscribe to me, then go ahead and pop your email into the box over yonder on your right- you'll get all the updates and stuff! Also, if you guys wanna add me on Myspace, that's fine too. I don't honestly like MySpace that much but I'm just trying to network and get my name out there for the shop, and mLee says she gets some sales from myspace, so we'll see.

This was what my pretty amaryllis looked like a few days ago. I think it's my fault that it is wilting now; I like to play with flowers, and I pollinated the damned things. Well, it didn't occur to me then but when I went out to the Lansing orchard for Orchard Management he talked about how the flowers will generally stay blooming until they are pollinated, but they will drop petals almost immediately once they are pollinated... So I'm pretty sure that it's my fault my amaryllis didn't last that long. It is OK though, I have a nice bright red one that's just starting to bloom, so I'll enjoy that for a while.

Sooo glad class is almost over. Look for more crafty stuff from me soon.
