Here where we live there are a bunch of haunted houses downtown under the 12th st bridge. so last night chris and I decided two years ago that we wanted to go to one of them together. so we finally got to do it. we had so much fun! at one point there was this one place where it was real dark and this strobe light comes on and there’s this guy with a “live” wire. i think he didnt see me behind chris cause he went to surprise the people behind chris and he got me in the butt with the “live” wire…when i squealed it made the employee jump. i think he was surprised i was there. chris hid me behind him. kind a cool, we got to a haunted house to be scared and end up scaring one of the spooks. one look at me tends to do that to people.

they also renamed the catacombs…it is now the Chambers of Poe. there are like seven to ten houses in the general area under that bridge. the weather wasn’t as cold as 1st anticipated. I wore a coat and boy was i sorry i had by the time we walked out the door. but the sweetie never left my side once he was the perfect escort. and not hard on the eyes especially the view from the rear.

I am on the phone with Chris right now and he is being such a whiny little baby. a week ago i was shopping and i was tired and asked him to get dog food ( it is heavy and he isn’t very happy when i lift the 30 lb. bag of food off the shelf into the cart, onto the register thing, back in the cart, then into the car and in the garage…makes for a grumpy back even when lifting with the knees). he has put it off for over a week and the dog is now out of food and as of tomorrow will NEED it…i try to tell him these things before they are critical because he tends to procrastinate a bit. but i bought a tiny bag to get us by a few days so she wouldn’t starve to death in the meantime.

but in his defense he is at the store as i am typing this ,buying her food. he bitched, moaned and tried to put it off but in the end he did it for me. he is a good husband!!! I love him so much!

went out with some friends the other other night and had a good time a couple of kiddos tagged along and i realized i am soo lucky i had a girl! i am a bad influence on the boys! there was this whole Tarzan thing with the windshield wiper on the back of the SUV…i guess u kind a had to be there…but still! there was several things similar to that. If i ever have a son we will have mommy son prison records by the time he is ten. matching jailhouse tattoos by fourteen. and a place on the FBI’s most wanted list by the time he turns twenty. yeah boys and I there’s just something about it. just ask my husband… When he’s not cranky!

Ambiance on the water in the beautiful Country Club Plaza area of downtown Kansas City, Missouri is a sight to behold. it is modeled after the famous river walk in San Antonio, TX and the canals of Venice. what they don’t tell the scores of tourist they attempt to lure to the area to take a “romantic” gondola ride is that if it has rained in the last few days you are riding on a river of pod water! Yes The Ambiance on the water is held in the majestic brush creek…which is for sewer runoff during storms. so when it rains the entire place smells like a giant turd! I know this because we were down there today and it reeked! it rained all day yesterday and even the water that was spraying up into the fountains out in the creek was brown and foamy. Not a pretty picture! and unless you’re into that sort of thing (which we are NOT), not my idea of a romantic evening. and god forbid my spouse decided to surprise me with this “cruise” and we were out there and I got this sewer water sprayed on me from these fountains…it would NOT be pleasant for any persons involved (spouse, gondolier, manager, owner,city manager, any passers by you get the picture).

But…in all fairness they do warn you est. This sign is on the walkway down to the boats…but after you have already paid for your ticket!

I thought rain was supposed to be cleansing!

chris and I went to the plaza today which is something my family and I used to do when I was little we would walk around and the JC Nichols fountain was my favorite and Pandora always liked the pig with the gold nose and the statue of king triton. then we would just wander around looking at all the statues and fountains and tossing coins in them. it was just like when I was a kid. although the places looked a bit different around the fountains and statues they still looked as I remembered them.

we had the most amazing crabmeat, asparagus, mushroom, and mixed pepper omelets this morning they were so amazing! I am not a big egg or even a big breakfast person person but we were hungry so we got breakfast while we were out and when I got a bite if was totally hooked! perfect day…it was a perfect day! we talked, walked, laughed, kissed, held hands, took pictures, looked like tourists, and just generally enjoyed being silly and together (at least I did). I just hope it meant as much to him as it did to me. I love that man. that beautiful, silly, sweet, caring, smart, thoughtful, intelligent, brilliant, witty, fun to be around, other piece of my soul.

I was doing some more halloween decorations outside yesterday and yet again those damn little niglet brats had to come over and get in my grill and be all “can i help you?”. why is it that I am being asked to raise the neighborhood’s kids! is it my fault their parents are worthless and dont think that spending time and resources decorating for halloween is a valuable investment. not even so much the decorations but look at it as investing in speding time with your kids. i know Ami loves shopping for this crap with me planning where we will put it and then putting it all up. so why would people not do anything. even if $ is tight you can still do something small ,carve a pumpkin they are like 3 for ten bucks.

then Ami decided she hd a jones for a craft project of her own and we bought her the items for a craft pumpkin…well i had some extra spray paint (hot pink of course) and so I decided to use it to paint the shelves that Toni had bought Ami for her music boxes and webkinz. when i was in the driveway gettin ready one of those kids comes back over and is all “Can i help?”. what the fuck?!? why is this little hustler all up in my face trying to get money outta me for shit I wanna take care of myself? He was very despondent for he had been trying to “help” people all day. Help=Hustle

The mailbox is in front of my house and after i get rid of the little hustler this new neighbor is checking her mail and she asks me if i’m redecorating, i reply with a no and then she tells me they just moved in. and then her life story. WTF?!? where she lives, works, her mom just died, how many kids she has, about her husband, her kids shooling, their health problems, and so on. a total mr. rodgers moment where everyone thinks we’er a lot closer than we really are. and that i really give a shot about any of them!

THEN the little hustler comes back when i start painting the frankengnome on the front porch green and sits there talking to me telling me about how he got paid by the lady two doors down to mow her grass and how much and do i want mine done…well it doesnt need 2 b done…and “No!”. then his name and age and what else am i gonna do 2day. then he looks in my garage and sees Ami’s mountain bike, asks do it work (exactly as he puts it), then can he ride it?…I dont know him. until I started decorated the other day i had never seen him. why am i gonna let him ride off with my kids bike? especially when he is trying to hustle money from everyone and anyone in the neighborhood!

Seriously! Next thing ya know he was gonna tell me he just wanted to buy food for his younger sibilings who he was singlehandedly raising using just his street smarts and whatever odd jobs people would give him. anyway if it aint annoying kids or neighbors trying to ruin my Halloween spirit (get it Halloween spirit…shout out to those of you in Atchison,KS), it’s the bible nut jobs that are raining their fire and brimstone on my All Hallow’s Eve celebration.

I am talking of halloween folks! all these religios types try and take al the fun out of it for us lovers of the day. and try and “reform” us sinners if u will. well if liking halloween makes me a sinner…i revel in my sinnery. i bathe in the glory of the debauchery of my evilness and bask in the darkness that surrounds me always. and hey at least in hell i wont ever have to worry about turning up the thermostat it will always be nice and toasty…so pass me another marshmallow and shut the fuck up about halloween cause it’s my favorite day of the year. Death, darkness. debauchery, destruction, devastion, & dark chocalate the things that halloween is all about,right? wrong…that is what religion is all about. Halloween is Fun, costumes, laughter, decorations, pretending, joy, & candy who could be against that?!?

and dont for one minute think that just by glossing over it and skimping out on the halloween stuff and moving in the xmas shit that you are making people think xmas is way more important, u r not! cause we r just going to different stores who cater to our dark and twisted needs. then, come xmas time we will not go to ur store cause we dont want to be fed the bible based crap behind ur merchandise. so by alienating halloween cause u think it’s evil and againt your christian values u also alienate a large part of your client base…sorry Hobby Lobby…you can take your bible and beat off with it some where other than on my halloween preperation.

like u dont IM people very often on your phone…yeah right! i dont buy that for a second! u see chris made this big deal about how i am not sposed to text while i drive cause he doesnt want me to get in an accident and get hurt or get Ami hurt…which is totlly understandable. his mother and i have had the same conversation many times. well, then i have caught them BOTH doing the same thing with each other in the span of a few days. so i of course had to call them out on it. at least Chris wasnt trying to kill me when I caught him doing it…unlike his mother. but seriously i am very glad he likes his new toy and lets hope he can live with it…cause he aint gettin a new one for at LEAST two years!!! CAUSE the nessie bear says so! *stomps foot*

plus i would really like the explosion to cease going off inside my skull!

chris got a new phone and i let him get it. since we got together he has gotten three phones. one right when we first got together, then one shortly after we had been together a year and then one now. So now we are on track for him to want another one around xmas time next year. if I had said “no” it would have just been an excuse for him to not get my calls and texts and not be able to call me and tell me when he was gonna go and get a beer with his buddies. then he cant get in trouble with me if his fone isnt working!!! that is what happened with the phone when we 1st started talking again we were talking and dating then i didnt hear from him for like two weeks and i thought he was mad at me it was his fone…then he got the new one….and has gotten three since! i see a pattern here!

I just saw the most beautiful roses. they are this orangey color and so bright and vivid. it is such an amazing color. they were paired with yellow lilies and these orange and yellow flamenco flowers. I think i died and went to floral heaven. the colors were so bright and happy.

xmas is fast approaching but i am finding that halloween is being eclipsed by xmas preperations. i feel that that is WRONG WRONG WRONGEY WRONG WRONG! halloween is like the most fun holiday all year long. xmas can be cool and all (especially when its over) but halloween is the bomb diggity!

adam sandler’s wife is having another little girl in a few months and the one they have is one of the most ugly kids i have ever seen. he is such a funny guy and i am sure she may grow up to be as beautiful as her mom is, but right now…she is really jacked up looking. I wonder if her little sister is going to be as ugly as she is? we will see

finally OJ gonna do jail time! he might have gotten away with it the first time, but that only got him the attitude that he could get away with murder. so he figured he would get off this time…and he was wrong!!! i hope he rots in jail as he should have already have been doing! justice was finally served. it isnt a murder conviction but if he stays there, it will make me happy enough.

when people get used to being able to cyberspy on others using sites like facebook and myspace they loose that whole human element to getting to know someone. why is it that people feel more comfortable using anonymous things like a computer to put people into “boxes” in their heads by what music they list on their facebook page or what kind of background might be on the myspace page that week. If you dont list the new “It” single as a must have item on these social networking sites…then you must not be cool enough to like that kind of music. it is all an excuse to “get to know people” without having to do the dirty work of actually having to be nice and talking to them. but you are meetin a manufactured version of them. they are putting what they want you to read. it is all so ridiculous. I dont get it! But then again, I never have wanted to be cool. Thin, yes…cool, no*grins*!!!

I tell you though with all the weather changing I’m gonna have dig out my coat already wearing two jackets gets old fast.

We have had REALLY GREAT “together” time lately if ya know what i mean *wink wink*. it is nice we both are such horny nyphos. it kinda sucks when only one person likes sex and the other person doesnt. at least way once a day isnt an unreasonable request.

I got the stuff for Ami’s halloween costume and I am so xcited. I love Halloween. I think after we do that whole family trick or treat thing we are gonna do the adult version with just the two of us. maybe grandma Toni will let Ami spend the night with her. we could go to a party and then come home and play dress up. *big grins*
