1) We hated the thought of the Longhorn moving all her shit all by herself in this heat and 2) He really [...]

Guess what my sweet mailman delivered to me today? A jury summons, that’s what!
Yep, on September 10, 2007, at 9 a.m., my ass will be in the jury selection room of our hallowed Justice Center.

The Mr. works with a chick who would LOAN us ROOSTERS AND GOATS!
Wouldn’t that be fun? And the goats could eat the grass in the back backyard and the chickens could eat all the dadgum webworms and I could wear the Mr.’s old overalls for a few days and play farmgirl. Ohhhhh, yes. I’m [...]

It is raining these in my backyard. Hell, all over this whole town it is raining them.
What are those adorable little fuzzy wuzzies, you might ask.
Well, I’ll tell ya. Those adorable little white, hairy caterpillars are WEBWORMS, ladies and gentleman, the Persian cats of the worm world, and we have been inundated by the little [...]
What a Nightmare
Posted in Dreams on August 8, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I had a nightmare last night. Not just any nightmare either. This one had levitating cell phones. And me screaming “DOWN WITH THE DEVIL.” Which is when the Mr. nudges me and told me I was making ghost sounds.
How creepy is that.
I didn’t even want to go back to sleep, for fear it would just [...]
