VD, salmonella, etc.

HA! i tricked you! you're probably thinking i'm a nasty, nasty girl since the title of my blog includes the phrase "VD"... well, folks, if you know me at all, you know that i thoroughly enjoy wishing people a "Happy VD!" on Valentine's Day. so there ya go, and just so you know, i'm vernereal disease free... haha, gross.

so yeah yesterday was the big "VD" and ok, it's seriously cheesy, and it's WAY over-commercialized.... but a girl still has the tendency to enjoy it- as stupid as the holdiay is altogether... so my hubby comes home from work with hot pink tulips (my favorite!) and a SUPER sweet card... everybody together now, "AWWWWWW"... unless you're single and you hate me... then it's, "EWWWWW" hahaha. i know, i know. and then we went out for dinner, came back to the house and took a nice loooong soak in the hot tub... it was awesome. it was snowing outside, and we had the windows open to the sunroom, so we'd be freakin hot because of the 102º water, but then the 22º air was coming in and hitting us. yeah, it was awesome. and apparently we're pretty white-trashy, because during our hot tub soak, we enjoyed an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter. HAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA...

ok, now to the topic of SALMONELLA. i was just browsing through AOL news, and found a story about a well-known product being recalled because of salmonella... so i open the story, begin reading... and it's for peanut butter! what the hell? are we safe from ANY food we eat? it's in meat, we know that... it's in our SPINACH... the LETTUCE at Taco Bell, and now our PEANUT BUTTER? freaking GEEZE! so blah blah blah i'm reading the story, and discover that it's for the same brand of peanut butter that i have in my pantry... Peter Pan peanut butter... they go on to list the code on the top of the jar that would distinguish if YOUR peanut butter was on the recall list... and jars with the code starting with the numbers "2111" are on the list.... i'm thinking "no way, i've been eating my peanut butter, there's no way" um, SURE ENOUGH! AAAAAND, what REALLY pisses me off- i've been feeding it to my SON! my 2 1/2 year old SON! UGH! it just makes me so mad. these companies need to get their shit together, seriously. do i have to be paranoid about EVERYTHING i eat from now on? do i have to worry about everything i put on my son's plate because it may or may not contain bacteria that could make him seriously ill or possibly kill him? i'm so mad. ugh.

that is all for today. au revoir.
