Spider Blogging

It's that time of year again, folks. Well, actually, it's not that time of year yet but the spiders don't know that. Due to the unbelievably warm weather we've been having the spiders think it's May. I walked into my office this morning to find an adult brown recluse sitting in the middle of the floor. It was dead, thank heavens. For some reason they come out of seclusion to die. I think they do this to creep me out.
All day I have been checking under my desk, shaking out my office sweaters, and checking the glue traps. The maintenance guys tell me that the building is infested and that they can't eliminate all of them because they hide in areas where sprays can't reach. Um....
I'm not sure why, but these spiders are not so "reclusive". From May to July each year I see an average of 3 dead ones per day and one live one per week. And no, I don't go out looking for them. They are just there. In the ladies room, in the supply closet, conference room, and stairwells.
The day I see one in my home is the day we put our house up for sale. Putting up with them at work is bad enough. I pay a pest control company to regularly treat the house. If a brown recluse ever tries to enter through any window, door, or crevice it will have to crawl right through deadly poison first.

Unless of course...one just hitches a ride home from the library in my book bag.

Idol Blogging

WHAT???????????

Brandon gone?

America has got to be kidding me. How can this happen?
I was so wanting Sanjaya or Cheeseball Phil to be gone. Don't get me wrong, I do understand the underdog appeal of Sanjaya, but America can't vote for him just because they feel sorry for him like a sick puppy brought home from the shelter? He's got a good ear and a decent voice, but if he can't belt it out enough to be heard over that large band then he doesn't deserve to still be in the competition.
And, Phil...nothing personal, dude, but you are a cheesy performer.
Haley fans are obviously people who would pay top dollar to see a Celine Dion concert so that leaves me out of her fan base. Chris Sligh is my fave of the guys and there are 4 girls I like this year.
There's so much talent going on...it's been a fun season so far.
I'm just depressed we are down to two nights a week instead of three.
Sigh....

I know, I know....

I know I haven't been posting here very much. My daily life is just really not that worthy of publication. Who wants to come here and read about me cleaning up cat vomit, poopy diapers, and runny noses? You want to read about my Girl Scout Cookie addiction?
I'm too tired to be entertaining!!!

But thanks for reading anyway (all two of you regular readers!).
