I may even emit shrieks that I don't recognize as my own.

I hate nature.

Plans are still developing...but looks like its going to be a great weekend!

[Tawse]

Tonight: (Sports!!) Fast Forwarding through DVRed Olympics so that the wife doesn't have an aneurysm because of how full the DVR is (forget the fact that she has 50 hours of NCIS stashed on it).

Tomorrow: Figure out how I can make a "chips and sandwich" family gathering into a low calorie / low simple carb experience. Then go to said family gathering and pray no one brings up Chik Fil A (no one = brother).

Sunday: Celebrate the wife's birthday which means doing anything she wants to do.

[Katniss]

Well, well, well....leave ya'll alone for a few days and this place goes back to crickets and lightening bugs.

(grabbing broom, opening windows....turning on music and airing the place out)

Tawse...how was the birthday for your wife? Are you sending any of us leftover cake?

JD...please let everyone know you are alive and the spiders did not carry you away nor did you succumb to pesticide fumes, etc., etc. (we also really want to know if one got on ya' and you screamed like a girl?)

bkisbutchenuff....hope you had a great "last hurrah" weekend before getting back to the rat race!

Claybaby....*sigh* I reaaally hate to admit this...but after my latest shop at the farmer's stand...S. Carolina peaches trump Ga. peaches hands down. (looks at floor in shame as Ga. is peach state...)

I survived...though the task isn't complete. I've got two wood planters, both old and rotting, the ideal home for black widows (one should never ever ever ever carry in firewood for the first fire of the season after the wood has been sitting outside all summer without fully inspecting it for black widows!!)... I sprayed down the inside of the planters with pesticides...and not one...not two...but three black widows came charging out of their hidey-holes. I didn't scream because 1. I anticipated their appearance and 2. I was standing 4 feet away (the pesticide container has a battery-powered dispenser!!).

I soaked the monkey grass on the outside of the planters with pesticide as well, in case any spiders tried to make a break for it. I'll spray it again this week, and demolish the planters this weekend.

I've got a cold now... or maybe it's from inhaling all the pesticide? No idea where I picked up the cold, I'm such a hermit, and nobody I work directly with has one. Of course, I do work with diseases for a living. Oh well. Hope everyone is well.

Left over cake? LOL I actually only had the tiniest of slivers... I had salad for dinner instead of their mega sandwiches they were making.. I think I did pretty good. Got enough cake to taste and not enough to spin off into a sugar induced frenzy chased with a coma. lol

Her birthday was good - we basically didn't do much of anything. Went to Longhorn for dinner (my reason for not going crazy the day before) and then went home and watched the olympics.

We're gearing up to head to canada... timing couldn't be better. I need a break from the south.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Too funny! But really, the Brown Recluse scares me. A friend in N. Ga. had her 5 year old bitten by one and the girl ended up needing skin grafts, etc. Be careful!
