Peanut oil?

Does anyone know where I can find bulk peanut oil? I'm hoping to spend less than $30 for a gallon, if at all possible. I love peanut oil so much but find it is too expensive to deep fry with. I'm making Paula Dean's Southern Fried Chicken "Y'all"! I made it with regular vegetable oil and it was awesome but I know it would be super super awesome with peanut oil.

My new bed!

Last night I slept so good and didn't wake up having a coughing fit. I think I'm going to skip going to the after hours clinic today. If it comes back again tonight I'll maybe go tomorrow. My new bed was delivered on Saturday and last night was my first really good sleep on it. It is a Sealy pillow top. I went from sleeping on a full futon to a nice firm queen. I'm so happy with it after this last night's sleep. I can't believe how high the bed is. It feels like I need a step stool to get in it. Not only did I get a new bed but also really nice new sheets and pillows. The difference is amazing.

It still has that new smell which is the biggest downfall. The top layer of the mattress is organic cotton but that does little to protect me from all the flame retardant chemicals they douse the bed in because some people can't refrain from smoking in bed and passing out with a lit cigarette! I took the down comforter (e:mike) got me last year for Xmas out of storage and am using that with the window cracked open because my apt gets so hot. I leave the humidifier running all night otherwise I get completely dried out from the inside out.

Now that I can sleep well I think my lungs will recover. I should go to the gym today rather than the clinic.

bronchitis? asthma? allergies?

Since getting sick right after Xmas I have been waking up in the middle of the night with coughing fits. Last night I went to bed by 11pm and woke up around 1am coughing and started to have a hard time breathing. I think I have bronchitis or maybe asthma. This may be related also to my allergies which have been very bad lately with the latest box of timothy hay I got for my rabbit. A new kind of hay, orchard grass is due to be delivered today and I know that my allergies don't react that bad to this hay. This latest timothy hay I have even makes my arms break out when I touch it.

Tomorrow I plan on going to the afterhours clinic since it doesn't seem to be going away on its own. I hope they won't have to give me antibiotics or put me on an inhaler but if it will make me better, I'll take it. It is so weird that it only happens at night and I am almost completely fine during the day. When I got sick over Xmas it was different than I normally feel when sick. I had so much more mucuss than normal. There was one time I almost chocked on it.

Libertad and his bitch

Maybe you didn't know but Libertad used to be a prize winning dog handler. Here he is with his beloved Tiny but Tuff. She truly lived up to her name and often without warning would lunge for attack. She was completely vicious towards other bitches. The other thing she was known for was her cunning ability to escape. One time my dad and I left her in her crate while we went into a hardware store quick. When we got to the cashier to check out we heard a car horn blow for a long period of time. When we left the store we found Tuffy standing up with her front paws planted firmly on the steering wheel. My dad and I were astonished to see that she escaped from the crate and was blowing the car horn! The crate was still locked and she somehow squeezed through the sides.

I love this picture. I love my hair and wish it still looked like that. I used to have really nice thick hair.

Do you wash your new clothes?

I do. I think it is gross not to, but I am also sort of neurotic. I just watched this thing on yahoo about the different stuff they find while testing new clothing. They find all sorts of bugs and yeasts and fungi.

They don't mention how often the clothing is made in third world countries who may use dangerous fumigation methods or the fact that the dyes and stuff they use in the fabrics are skin irritants in themselves.

I know a lot of people don't wash their stuff before hand. Actually I know someone who buys new sheets and doesn't wash them first. No skin off my back (unless of course I tried on your shirt before I purchased it).
