hate 'poop' Today I tackled the mountains of laundry that have been piling up. It feels good to be productive. I don't know why I don't do the things that make me feel happy and good more often, such as doing the laundry. I shouldn't let it pile up.
So I've been released as an assistant primary teacher. It felt weird and kind of sad to me at first not to be going to primary after sacrement meeting. But it was great to go to relief society. We had a really good lesson, about living your life more lovingly and other things. My new calling is music chairperson for the branch. He he! yikes. But no, actually its a rather behind the scenes kind of calling, so that's good. And oh yes, my other other calling is the inevitable pianist. I don't mind that calling and am glad to keep my pianist and accompaniest skills sharp. Not that playing hymns is particularly challenging, but accompanying can be. Ben was also realeased, but we don't know what his calling is yet. We'll find out next week and I'm excited to see what it will be! OH MY GOODNESS. I JUST REALIZED WHAT IT PROBABLY IS!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'm not going to say anything until I know for sure. hehe!
So Ben and I are moving to a lady in the branch's home in January, it's almost for sure. She married an American and spends most of her time there, and wants us to live in her house for her here in the meantime. cheap rent and a nice place all to ourselves. I long to be alone with my hub and babe again! Speaking of my baby, he is very cute. I love the stage he's in. Love it. He's starting to play games with me. Like when he's sitting on my lap he puts up his pudgy little hand and pushes my chin, and I make this 'oooff' noise, and he thinks its hillarious. It keeps him entertained for a good 5 minutes before he moves on to the next thing.
Do you find that Dad's signature 'beat' --you know, the one that he is wont to stomp, on the floor above your bedroom, when he wants you to get upstairs for prayer?--anyways, do you find that this same beat is now incorporated in you and do you find yourself using said beat regularly? Please say yes. I don't want it to be just me.
I haven't decided yet when I'm coming down for Christmas. I could leave right away, on Ben's next days off. But that will be a long time looking after Owen solo with little-to-no break. Do I want that? I dunno. Plus I don't want to put stott out of house and home.
stott has a pert buttock.

the funnest place to 'meat' in town! Getting ready for church today I couldn't find ONE shoe. I looked and looked for it. All my other shoes are packed in a box underneath piles of other boxes behind the desk and tv, and with Ben at work that wasn't an option. Basically I went to church in flip-flops. There's ice and snow on the ground, it's below zero, and I wore flip-flops. I bet some of you are happy that I was wearing inappropriate shoes, because you think that's my role to fill. But it doesn't mean that I'm going to wear flip-flops (or any other type of sandal) when we go carolling this year! so don't get any ideas.
Ben and I rented p&p. It's about that time of year...it's time to watch it again. I enjoy it VERY much, Elizabeth Bennet's pert opinions and fine eyes and all. And I love that Ben'll watch it with me. He's an Austen fan. He claims that p&p and s&s are 'extremely' different than chick flicks. I don't argue with him, I'm just glad that he'll watch them with me.
Today is the end of a 4-day era in which Ben worked, well, four straight days. They were particularly grueling and long and grey. Now he'll work tomorrow night and the night after and then hurrah! his time off. He had to work 6 days in a row to make up for the time he lost while he was sick.
I haven't eated a single 'sweet' since...oh. Wednesday . That's not as good as I thought, but still, it's good for me! Ben and I are off 'sweets' for now. The other night I wanted a treat so we went to DQ and I got a blizzard. strawberry cheesequake. The first few bites were chock-full of cheesecake bits, but the rest was flavourless. I kept eating, thinking I'd find more. Finally I turned on the car light and looked, and it was all just vanilla ice cream. annoying huh? Made way more annoying by the fact that every time I get a blizzard there it's the same story! Learn how to BLEND a BLIZZARD! I went back in and gave them a piece of my mind. I'm not usually that person and felt a little silly afterwards. But then I remembered the annoying way the manager acted. ('yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaah. I dunno. *ahem* yeeeeeeeaaaaah' over and over again!) But I get a free blizzard out of it.

I thought this picture was hillarious.
He was really cute that morning I just had to take pictures of him.
Anyhow, so I am sitting here with very tired, dry eyes, a chest full of liquid and a worn-out body. I understand now, those moms on tv who totally let their appearences go. But then there's those perfect Moms too...you know the ones. I wish I could have a whole new wardrobe. But there are more important things too. like my health, and my baby's health, and our happiness, etc.
I noticed no one emailed me about the colloidal silver. I guess they didn't read the part about it getting rid of coldsores. I thought some people might be interested in that *ahem*laurasarahamyandreakatie*.
I should go upstairs and eat something. I need sisters. I wish I had some near me right now. I feel like all my vitality is ebbing away.

the 'flu just so you guys know, Ben got the 'flu 5 days ago. He was really sick and couldn't keep anything down. But I started taking the colloidal silver twice a day right away. Yesterday I got 'the flu' but all it was, was my body ached from head to foot and I had no energy. Ben gave me a blessing, and I took the colloidal silver whenever I felt I needed to. I never felt nauseous or anything, I could eat whatever I wanted. Today I feel perfectly fine! So there you go, it WORKS.

I just have to come on here and tell you guys something that I think is important. It's about The New Silver Solution...DON'T SKIP! This colloidal silver is different from other products because it uses a metallic silver, as opposed to the ionic silver used in other colloidal silver products.
AAanyways, I think this is important because nearly all antibiotics are becoming useless to a great degree, and harmful bacteria will continue to develop resistant and mutant strains. YES, MUTANT STRAINS! But we all already knew that. The rise of drug-resistant germs is unparalled in recorded history! Penicillin, for example, lost it's power back in the 1950s and 60s. And they keep coming up with more anitbiotics, and those, in turn, loose their power as well. This antibiotic strategy doesn't do much but buy us 5-10 years.
But, because of the broad-spectrum action of the silver, even those nasty mutation strains of bacteria are killed by the silver. The bacteria cannot generate resistant strains to it. There've been several tests done on it, against tons of different pathogenic bacteria, and the new silver solution kills them all.
also, the new silver solution is entirely benign. There have been several safety tests done on it. People have consumed 1 mg of the new silver solution a day for several months, with absolutely no side-effects. It is impossible to drink enough of it for it to become toxic. You'd have to drink a swimming pool of it a day.
ALSO, antibiotics wipe out all the friendly bacteria in our stomachs. I don't know about all of our friendly bacteria, but tests have shown that it keeps some strains of it alive, like lactobacillis. Which is excellent, right?
it is effective against many things which plauge me and my sisters. Email me if you want to know how to use this silver to combat cold sores, the common cold, diaper and other rashes, eye infections, flu, earaches, yeast infections, urinary tract infections, etc etc.
anyways, the ionic colloidal silver solutions are still effective, it's just that the new silver solution is several hundred times more effective in some tests done. It has no odor, no taste other than a faint metallic aftertaste, it's clear, n colourless, and can wipe out colonies of harmful bacteria at concentrations of 5 ppm (parts per million) and less. And the new silver solution is 10 ppm. Remember, it is completely safe. And people who have taken large amounts of even the ionic colloidal silver for years never got argyia, a condition which doesn't harm you but turns your skin and gums a slight grey hue. So there's no danger of that either.
anyways, if you've read this far, congratulations! I hope that you have because i think this is so important. If you have any questions at all, email me about it.

baby and i go for a walk
Today Owen was restless and bored of all his toys. So I decided to take him for a walk. I bundled him up in his new fleecy snowsuit and took him outside.
I strapped him into his stroller.
So far the dogs were OK. There were the two annoying yippy ones, but they bypassed me and went straight to Boots. There were other dogs that barked from afar, and one that was held at bay by its owner. I reached the turning-point and turned around. So far so good. At one point Boots became surrounded by curious dogs, but they left me alone. That was until I was almost at the end of the street. I thought it was a good spot to stop and take pictures.
Suddenly I heard barking and out of the corner of my eye see something huge and black hurtling towards me. I turn and see that it's an enourmous rottweiler.
"Hemmy!" its owner calls in vain. Hemmy, snarling and barking, barrells right up to me and my baby. It comes right behind me, walking and snapping right at my heels. I turn around sharply and Hemmy backs off a few paces, snarling, and comes back. Through all this, Boots stands a bit up the road, staring at everything that's going on and not lifting a PAW to help me! Thanks a LOT Boots. Hemmy's owner, a short, balding man, has reached us now. He grabs Hemmy's collar.
"Sorry about that," he apologizes. "She's territorial."
I answer shakily and then make my way home. All in all not the most succesful walk but it felt good to get outside. I hate being stuck here all the time, stuck inside.
a drab, colourless me!!
