Well, I’m back. Looks like hubby is going to be going out to Lowe’s to buy a new air conditioner. It’s the same one we bought at Lowe’s in the spring for like $120.00 but it’s on sale for $85.00 now. We’re going to get a second one to replace this really old, heavy ass, peice of crap air conditioner that we use in the bedroom. We have three window units. A 220 in the downstairs dining room, it cool the entire downstairs if you use fans to get the air into other rooms. A small unit in the upstairs office and another in the bedroom. We only use them when we absolutely have to though to save electricity. The only time we ever leave them on all day is if it’ll be unsafe for the pets in the house because of the heat. Otherwise we just use them in the rooms we’re in when we’re in them.

So yeah, hubby just left, I am once again, alone and bored. I’d have gone with him but I just showered and took my makeup off a little while ago. I don’t go out without makeup on. I’m really self-conscious about my skin, it’s blotchy although it’s getting better as I keep getting older.

So what else could I talk about. I looked up some stuff on the Boca site yesterday. I’m looking forward to going veggie again. I could never go vegan though, I LOVE cheese way too much. I have cheese withdrawls as weird as that may sound. There are times when I just have to get my cheese fix. I crave cheese like most women crave chocolate. I’m really not big on chocolate or sweets in general really. Most of them upset my stomach. Of course, then again, most things upset my stomach. 🙂 I’m a pretty picky eater. My hubby is really picky too and the hard thing is that we both like opposite things and despise the things the other person likes. This makes dinner VERY interesting. The only thing we can both agree on is italian and only if it doesn’t have mushrooms in it, I hate mushrooms although he loves them. I love mexican, he doesn’t like anything they put in mexican food, it’s usually got too much cheese, too many spices and too many onions. He LOVES seafood, I detest seafood. Fish literally makes me puke, awhile back at red lobster hubby had me try his swordfish, he said it didn’t really taste “fishy”, to me it tasted like a mouthful of dirty lake water. It took all I had to swallow it without running to the bathroom.

So yeah, we like completely opposite things. I usually pull out recipe’s and omit everything we both hate and if it takes out too much I toss the recipe aside and find a new one. Some work, others don’t.

Anyway, enough about that.

I’m really bored.

It gets really boring when you’re home all day then your hubby keeps leaving on you all evening. Of course, I practically pushed him out the door to PLEASE go buy a new A/C so I guess I’m partially to blame for my boredom. 🙂 That old A/C was worrying me. I was afraid it was going to catch fire or something crazy and it made annoying noises. It doesn’t help that the A/C in my parents house caught on fire once. My dad woke up in the middle of the night to find the whole wall on fire. My mom was pregnant with me when it happened. I just heard the story later on. Funny though how in most of my “house fire” dreams I’m in that house when a fire happens. I have a lot of house fire dreams and they make me crazy. They usually involve trying to round up all the cats. I’m paranoid. I have cat carriers with a stack of emergency kits next to them. I found them at the drug store. They come with cat food, a foldable litter box and cat litter along with a baggie of purified water. Pretty spiffy, they’re contained in a plastic container. I keep them by the cat carriers upstairs and both us and neighbors know where.

I’ve actually been having a lot of really bad dreams lately. I had one this morning between the time hubby left and the time Sara woke me up with her barking. I don’t remember the details exactly but I remember being glad it was only a dream. I hate nightmares that are really realistic and those are the kind I’ve been having lately. The one’s where you actually wake up and are sweaty, shaking and very happy to be in your own bed, in your own house, with your kitties safely at the foot of the bed and hubby sleeping soundly beside you. *sigh* I keep hoping they’ll pass and I can go back to having my screwed up dreams I normally have. I love dreaming, it’s one of my favorite things to do, has been since I was a little kid. I used to anticipate going to sleep at night, especially in a new place. I always had really vivid dreams when I slept over at someone else’s house or in a hotel or something. I don’t know why.

Well, I would imagine hubby should be home soon. I guess I’ll go play my flute until he gets here or something. Then I’m going to watch hubby put the A/C in the window and go to sleep in a nice, cool room! 🙂

G’Night!
