i love fall... and eddie izzard...gross fridges

glad to have the cooler weather! it's nice to walk out in the morning and not be met with a steam bath! now, i go out and just stand in my tank top and panties first thing in the morning with my coffee and just enjoy the view and the wonderful feel of the morning. the great thing about living in the country is that i can stand on my deck in my tank top and panties and no one sees me...and if they do... they're trespassing! the only time during the year that i can see another house from my house is when the leaves come off the trees, then i can see my parents house about 1000 ft. away, through the woods on the other side of the pond. i do love privacy. we lived in town for over 2 years after we got married in a duplex, the only upside i could see the town living was pizza delivery. i was happy when this house was done enough to live in and we could be in the woods. i do not like living so close to people... it's just not natural! how those people in europe do it, i've no clue. they all live in high rise apartments and similar type housing, the only people who live in the country are the rich. but that's what you get when you have socialism or should i say soft communism... i love living in this country, thank you very much! glad i got born here!

so, on to the eddie izzard... i love eddie izzard! he's the funniest comedian there is! if you haven't seen any of his stuff, you must now take yourself over to netflix and put him in your queue. his bit on flags and how europe took over the world in "dress to kill" is sooooooo true! his take on history and life in general is just a total laugh riot.

life around here is in the groove that i like. on a schedule! the first two weeks of school went by so quickly. my oldest is losing teeth like they're going out of style. she's got her 12 year molars coming in 2 yrs early and has lost the canine and the molars behind them on the bottom. i don't know how she's chewing anything! she's got the front 4 teeth on the bottom, space where the teeth are gone, the two molars behind that and then the new molars coming in! she looks funny! she's got 12 teeth in her tooth jar how. her sister has 6. they both have one of those little pimento jars to keep lost teeth in. i don't eat pimentos, but the jars looked the size i wanted, so i bought the jars and threw out the contents. did that to get small juice glasses too. bought that cheese spread that comes in the little glasses and threw out the contents. that stuff is nasty, but the glasses are just the right size. i'm not one of those butter bowl, pickle jar savers! but if i see a glass container that i can reuse, i'll buy the product for it, even if i don't like it.

i throw out butter bowls, they are not tupperware! you can go into people's fridges and never find the butter! just lots of science projects! my mom cleans houses, and over the years there have been about 4 really nasty fridges. the worst was so gross that by the time she was done with it, they had maybe a 1/4 of what they started out with. you can die from food poisoning, you know! some people don't think about this. they just eat, and don't seem to connect the dots when they get food poisoning a lot. take out food has about 24 hours to live before it needs to get tossed in the trash.

i found a really neat science experiment in my mom in laws fridge once. it was in a bowl, partly covered with foil, i think it was some can soup heated up... maybe. anyway, there was red, orange, green, blue, yellow, and a purplish color of mold growing on it. the fuzzy kind, all the different colors were a different patch. i think back and wish i had had a camera to preserve the moment.

or the bag of goo in one of mom's cleaning jobs pantry... it used to be potatoes! she left a note and said there was a stink in the pantry and if we could please find it. i found it... and about threw up from the site and the stench! i didn't know potatoes did that.

ok, enough of the grossness.

yesterday we went shopping on the 71st street parking lot. for those of you not familar with tulsa, this is the area of 71st street between memorial to garnet. we had a plan, we entered the area from the south up memorial, turned right on 71st and went to old navy, bed, bath and beyond and then ate lunch at on the border. this was all in the same parking lot. then we took a right out of that lot and went to linens and things. from there we took a left and went to hobby lobby and gordmans. then we wound around in that parking lot to get to the light signal by comp usa across from lowes. we went left again, under highway 169 and went to super target. we went to the east end of that parking lot and went right (south) on garnet to 81st, where we went right and got on south bound 169 which turns into the creek turnpike which we took back to sapulpa. it's best to never back track on that street. never. and never, NEVER, try to make a left turn without a left turn signal. i mean this! trust me!

ok, well, i've rambled a bit here, so i'll go. stay tuned...
