Sometimes, in the grand scheme of things, you have to know when to call it quits.
I've learned over the years of being with 3M that it's best to just let it go sometimes. There are a lot of things I wish were different- that I wish he would do, but I have chosen to just not bother with the bother of it all.
I've learned that his tolerance for clutter is a tiny bit higher than mine. It used to be his job to hoover every weekend. But after he hoovers I dusted. Now I get up earlier than him- about three hours usually, so I like to get my housework done and out of the way before he gets up- so we can have more together time. So I usually just hoover myself so I can go ahead and dust and everything is done when he gets up.
Then there's the laundry. I feel like I'm always doing laundry on the weekends. It's my biggest chore because it takes so long. I usually do three loads on the weekends... No- four. Darks, colours, whites- and the bed linens and towels. 3M offered to take over the chore if I would sort them. So I happily agreed. So, I got up the following weekend, got it all sorted into the loads and waited. A couple of hours after he got up- and we went to get grocery shopping done and then had a cup of tea, he put the first load in the washer.......and then I had to go show him the settings for the washer. Okay- no problem. And then two hours later, I had to put the clothes in the dryer. And then I loaded up the washer with load two after the first load was finished drying because we cant run the washer AND the dryer at the same time without blowing a fuse. And then I took them out of the dryer- and folded them- and put the away.
So basically his idea of doing the laundry is putting them in the washer and adding laundry detergent and fabric softener and turning the machine on.
Hmmmmm.....
Okay, so this has went on a few weeks now. I cant wait all day to get the laundry done- and some of it has to be taken out of the dryer and hung up immediately after the dryer stops to keep it from wrinkling and me having to iron it- a chore I absolutely DESPISE!!!!!!
So I'm officially calling it quits.
I'm not nagging anymore- or suggesting, or asking. I'm just doing it myself because the stress of the waiting- and not knowing of things are going to get done or not is driving me insane.
I look at it like this- if I was single I would be taking the trash out to the bins myself, and I would be doing the hoovering and dusting and laundry myself, and the cooking and the dishes and all the hundreds of other little things I do or stress about him doing- or rather not doing, so why torture myself? Just act as tho I'm single, and be thankful I have my love by my side when we go to bed at night and to hold me and kiss away my fears when I wake at night crying from some bad dream or other and all the other things he DOES do for me on a daily basis.
I love him- and that should be enough.

Amazing Weekend!!!!
What an amazing weekend!!
As you know- My and my bezzie went to The North West Fashion Festival 2014 on Sunday.
By sheer stroke of luck I found out Ms. Betty Rage and HER bezzie, Suzanne, was also attending. We contacted each other and decided we would meet up once we got there.
Well, Sissy and I got there and , of course, (as always at these events) there was a bit of a delay in entrance. Seems one of the marquees needed adjusting and the sound system as well. But once they got them handled, it was on. As Sissy and I stood in the queue waiting, I was gazing around wondering if I would recognise Betty. There were hundreds of people there and as I looked around, none of them stood out as anyone I would recognise from reading her blog. Slowly we inched our way to the front of the line where we showed our VIP Tickets and were allowed entrance to the fashion event of the season!!(So FAR, anyway.) Well we got our VIP wristbands and told to just ask when we were ready to go to the VIP Tent. I looked at Sissy and we decided to take our champagne and wait a bit to see the people walk the red carpet as the other VIPs and Celebs entered. Minutes went by and all the pretty people just kept on coming. Tan people- pasty people, people dressed in the most outrageous outfits you can imagine.
And then- as we looked up the runway of red carpet- there she was. There was no doubt in my mind that the lovely woman stepping onto the red carpet was THE ONE & ONLY Miss BETTY RAGE.
She stood there for a few seconds gazing around as if she OWNED the place -and then -she tilted her flame coloured head of hair upwards, smiled that Mega Watt smile with the Hot Red Lippy and didn't just walk down that Red Carpet- she STRUTTED in 6 inch Leopard-print Heels! She was wearing a Black one piece jumpsuit with a black peplum jacket over it. She was rocking some Fierce red talons too with a huge Gold and Black scarab ring and a dozen Black and gold bangle bracelets in different widths.
My jaw hit the ground, people. This woman was one HAWT Rockin' Chick!!
Confidence out the ass- and with justification- She is One of a Kind!!!!
As she took her glass of champagne and glanced around- I made my way over to her. I said,
"Betty? It's Lovely to finally get to meet you. I'm Elena."
She smiled at me as I extended my hand to shake hers, and laughed. She handed her champagne flute to her friend and brushed aside my hand as she said, " Handshakes, Elena? Seriously?" And then she gave me a big fierce hug and a kiss on the cheek!
This woman is as wide open and wild as the Montana Wilderness. I absolutely adore her!!!
I'll tell you more about the fashion show later. But for now- this is all you get.

Red Letter Day
Well,
I'm very happy to announce that Betty Rage and I are finally getting to meet face to face!!
As you know, I read her blog religiously and love how outgoing and straightforward she is about her life. So when I read she was going to the Liverpool Fashion Event later this month, I contacted her because I am going to be at that very SAME event with MY Best Friend as well!!
We're going to meet and I finally get to see the One and Only, Fabulous BETTY RAGE!!!!! I'll let you know what she's like, I'm sure!!!!!
It's the first time I'm going to this event but I've heard a LOT of good things about it. I think even some celerbities are going to make an appearance. Very interesting stuff to me. I used to model in my late teens back home and know how crazy things get backstage and behind the scenes, but have never actually been to a fashion show and seen it from the audience standpoint!! I'm really, really excited!!!
There's not much else going on to report in my week so far. That's subject to change at any moment tho, so stay tuned. If it does- you will be the top of the list to hear about it.
