...pay less!

Thanks to my sister-in-law, Sam, I used an awesome 50% off, Oprah coupon at Payless Shoes today. I grabbed a friend, got some goodies, and blogged it. Yes. I'm having a girly-girl moment. 'Deal with it! ;)

...leave her alone!

Today I saw a pretty, black spider cross the road. It was so perfect looking, that I though it was one of those silly, plastic, spider rings. However, this one was quickly walking away! It was jet black with a round ball of a belly. Curious, I used a leaf to half flip it over. My suspicions were confirmed when I saw the bright, red hourglass on her underside. I quickly left the black widow alone!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

...gasp!

Ok. iGoogle, what have you done to me this morning? I like seeing little news snippets on my homepage, but this morning's CNN box was just wrong. Did anyone catch how tasteless it was to have these first two headlines posted one right after the other?


I did an iGoogle gasp this morning! Maybe I am being too sensitive, but it doesn't look like anyone reads how these headlines might be read if placed together like that. And who would look? Are the headlines generated by the iGoogle gadget or listed by a CNN web person? I wonder!

...wake from a nightmare.

Decuplets!

This morning I had a very strange dream. Well, it was more like a nightmare. I was recently widowed and a new mother to 10 babies. That's right. 10! As you might imagine, there was no time for mourning the loss of my husband. I'm not even sure how he "died." Perhaps it was from the shock of having 10 babies all at once! I don't even think it's possible. My dream was crazy--lots of babies crying. Then the dream gets worse. A neighbor lady from a few buildings over takes one of my babies. When I confront her, she says, "you have 10 babies!" I took my baby back from her and yelled that this is MY baby. And I don't know how I could think that I could be a good mother to 10 babies all at once. It was just a wild dream--nightmare!

Anyone want to take a stab at what it all meant? I'm clueless. I might just chalk it up to a crazy nightmare, but I'm open to your explanations.

BTW, I ate fried chicken that I cooked in my own oven last night. So, the dream wasn't brought on by strange/bad food.

...see monster sea monsters!

We spend Saturday in Baltimore. We went to the De Vinci exhibit at the science center and walked around the harbor. Then, we saw the sea monsters! Okay, they were just paddle boats near the maritime museum. It was a fun concept, anyway.

...kill.

October is turning out to be a rather violent month.

Today, Lucy caught a large, green grasshopper.

Next, she killed it. Then, she ATE it!

...die! Die!! Die!!!

I am happy that it is October because I know the ragweed will soon die. Yep. I have seasonal allergies, but that doesn't begin to explain my loathing for this allergen. Let's put it this way: If I were a superhero, my arch nemesis would be ragweed.

I think is isn't really "ragweed." I think it is "R.A.G.WEED." That would be an acronym for Rotten, Awful, Good-for-nothing Weed! There sure seems to be a lot of it here. However, R.A.G.WEED's season is quickly coming to an end. Mwahahaha!

Die, R.A.G.WEED! DIE!
