Happy Halloween

Halloween creeped up on me this year. For some reason I was thinking it was tomorrow and freaked out this morning because we had already eaten most of the candy. Luckily my husband brought some home last night on his way home from work.

Thank you dear.

Halloween Humor

I don't know how prevalent this attitude is in Scotland, but it made me smile nonetheless.

I've run across some trick-or-treaters for which I could've used this jack-o-lantern.

Not too long ago, my husband was standing at a nearby golf course and he looked over and saw a small gator standing next to him.

Years ago, while we were canoeing on the Hillsborough River, we had a huge gator go underneath our canoe and my husband was very angry with me because I was more afraid of a dragonfly than a creature that could eat us both.

Life in Florida.

California Mother Faces Public Outcry After Posting Photos Of Her Lifting Weights At 8 Months Pregnant

My biggest problem with this is that during pregnancy a hormone is released to soften pelvic ligaments which, of course, soften all the ligaments in the body. I know she's a world class athlete, but I would hate to see some accident occur. It isn't the weight... it's only 45 pounds and I carried more than that when I was pregnant with my second daughter and was lugging my first one around. I'm more worried about the bar falling than the weight lifting.

Happy Friday everybody.

Persistant Roach

Our anniversary was on September 10th and we had a power failure for two hours. Then the night got better... I saw a roach (Periplaneta americana) on the wall over the pantry door. My husband, the official bug killer of the house was asleep, and I didn't have the heart to wake him. So I grabbed the can of Raid and I sprayed the roach AND IT FLEW RIGHT AT ME! The hysterical woman screams that ensued woke my husband anyway and he came running over to see why I was screaming. We both looked but couldn't find the roach. I always demand to see the body and I was very disappointed that we couldn't find it.

Later, I went into the kitchen for some water and I saw the roach lying on its back on the floor and I got the dustpan and the broom to pick it up and throw it into the trash. Well, the effing thing FLEW AT ME A SECOND TIME! More screaming ensued while I proceeding to hit it with the broom and finally kill it.

How many people get attacked by the same roach twice?

It's unheard of...

I had the heebie jeebies for the rest of the night.
