On Friday, I packed my clothes (including my hot lingerie) and took the ferry boat to the Dominican Republic. It was an amazing trip for a lot of reasons. Tomorrow is my birthday and I wanted to spend it with my husband.
In the Dominican Republic, real estate is a huge, HUGE business. I looked into that for a while there when I really wanted to move. At the end, I didn't even care anymore. It was like I finally accepted that because of certain circumstances I was stuck there in that dark, asphyxiating apartment. This semester, I don't think my husband will be able to move either so I'm not getting my hopes up for when I finally get there. That apartment is like the major reason for my unhappiness in that country. I am so comfortable here! The only thing missing is him, my husband.
:o(
Does it show I'm spending a lot of time at my sister's house lately? Oh, well.
It seems that I'm progesterone deficient right now (read: PMS), but my brother's here and my niece and nephew are here keeping me busy and entertained.
Anyway, in honor of my third wedding anniversary here are some quotes I took from a Junes 2006 Reader's Digest.

The perfect man? A poet on a motorcycle. (Lucinda Williams)
Kids. They're not easy. But there has to be some penalty for sex. (Bill Maher)

It's over, and I'm so happy.
I happened to blow off the last two days of it too. Whatever.
Today is Saturday, and I'll be going to a birthday party later on. I am glad that I'm going out with my husband. He has been pretty much hibernating the past few days. Has only been out for his rotations and classes.
It pisses me off!
I was practically at the verge of setting up some camping gear and going out on strike in front of the house. *LOL* There's no space for a tent there though, and I would probably crawl back inside after an hour. Why am I so overly dramatic when trying to make a statement? Maybe that's why it rarely works.
This is the picture I wanted to post for NaBloPoMo Day 29. It's recycled toilet paper! I have to admit that I use way too much toilet paper and then always feel guilty about it. I was really glad to find this and I wish I could find it in Puerto Rico too. It was less than 60 cents and it's surprisingly soft on your bottom.

Use recycled paper...in the bathroom. Most of the TP we use is made from virgin trees found in forests previously untouched by humans. Seeing as trees absorb carbon dioxide, we'd get better use from them living than we would as a roll in the powder room.
The payoff:
If every household in America replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled postconsumer waste roll, 424,000 trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels and napkins too. If every household used recycled napkins, we would spare one million trees.
...to me and my husband. It's been two years.
