4/20

4/20 is coming up pretty soon. Have you made plans? I'll just be smoking... I'd love to go out and do something fun and weed-related, but there's nothing going on anywhere near where I live.

I do, however, have plans for other days... If you live in or near Austin, TX you can join me and thousands of others at Eeyore's Birthday Party on April 24th, admission is FREE and I hear that recreational drug use such as marijuana, shrooms and acid are common there. Oh, and there's a costume contest!!

I'm also planning to go to the Cannabis Crusade, which will also be in Austin on May 1st. Instead of telling you about it, here's the promotional poster: 

Off Grid Dreams

*Not high*

My husband and I are talking/thinking/dreaming of moving off grid. If you've seen Off the Grid; Life on the Mesa you probably think we're hippies or that we're afraid of or against the government, but you would be wrong. (I mean, if we're hippies - at least we're modern hippies!)

We just love the idea of building and living in a self sustaining home. Someone pointed out that we, as a society, work harder and have less than we ever have before. I couldn't agree more. We pay $850 each month to live in a 3/2 tudor in an okay neighborhood. We've barely used the heater or AC for the last few months and haven't had an electric bill less than $400. Water isn't too bad, I can't complain. But we can't even afford to fully furnish the house, because our income is already spoken for. Bills are killing us!

So now we're seriously wanting to go off the grid. The cabin on the right was built by LaMar Alexander. It is 14x14 with a loft upstairs and it cost him less than $2000 to build. I for one, am impressed! I want more space and more comfort, but this is inspiring. I think we can buy some land and build a bigger nicer version of this cabin for around $10,000. And the best part is that once we're in a self-sustaining house our money is our money.

I cannot wait for that freedom...

Super Duper High

So my husband and I were cooking and smoking (oh, don't worry, he's a professional!) and I was about to put the bubbler and the lighter in the fridge.

Yeah.........

Family and Marijuana

*I am not high right now*

So, I recently came out of the stoner closet. Well, I guess a lot of people already knew, my sisters and my close friends have known since the beginning (almost two years ago). I came out to my dad though. He actually didn't seem to be bothered by it, he agrees that it's not dangerous and that its much safer than things like alcohol and tobacco. After telling him, I felt really good. Weight off my shoulders...

He told my mom, which I don't mind at all because I was honestly a bit scared to talk to her about it. So, now she knows - and I don't really know how she feels about it. My dad acted like she didn't say much, but I feel like she's mad at me. She doesn't seem as interested in talking to me as she usually does, phone conversations are short and right to the point. I know it shouldn't really matter that much, after all - I'm 24 years old, married, and I live half an hour away from her... But she's my mom. No matter what, I hate disappointing her. It feels like I'm 15 again, and not in a good way.

Did you come out of the stoner closet? If so, what happened?

Peanut Butter and Jelly Twinkies

I wish Hostess would make Twinkies filled with peanut butter and jelly instead of that nasty creme filling. They'd be sooo amazing. sigh
