OMG A Black Widow!!!




Looky here! I was going to put Guy outside the other day and when I opened the door I was greeted by a huge black widow staring back at me. It was on its web that was from the grill to the ground at an angle, and it was belly side up, so I immediately saw the red hourglass. It could have easily gotten into the house! Unfortunately I couldnt get a very clear picture of it. Then Craig killed it. Good thing it was in such plain view because Guy likes to play with bugs and Black Widows can be deadly to little chihuahuas! So heres the diagram I made of what happened. I think you can click on the picture to make it bigger so you can see it better. Bye!

Think Before You Speak

Here are six reasons why you should think before you speak -the last one is great!
>
> Have you ever spoken and wished that you could immediately take the words back...or that you could crawl into a hole? Here are the Testimonials of a few people who did....
>
>
>
> FIRST TESTIMONY:I walked into a hair salon with my husband and three kids in tow and asked loudly,' How much do you charge for a shampoo and a blow job?'I turned around and walked back out and never went back My husband didn't say a word...he knew better.


>
>
>
> SECOND TESTIMONY:I was at the golf store comparing different kinds of golf balls. I was unhappy with the women's type I had been using. After browsing for several minutes, I was approached by one of the good-looking gentlemen who works at the store. He asked if he could help me. Without thinking, I looked at him and said, 'I think I like playing with men's balls.

'
>
>
>
> THIRD TESTIMONY: My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. I replied, 'No, I'm just looking at your nuts.' My sister started to laugh hysterically. The boy grinned, and I turned beet-red and walked away. To this day, my sister has never let me forget.


>
>
>
> FOURTH TESTIMONY :While in line at the bank one afternoon, my toddler decided to release some pent-up energy and ran amok. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she did not start behaving 'right now' she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, 'If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee last night!' The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing. I mustered up the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing I heard when the door closed behind me, were screams of laughter.


>
>
>
> FIFTH TESTIMONY: Have you ever asked your child a question too many times? My three-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training and I was on him constantly. One day we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my seven-month-old daughter, she was clean. Then realized that Danny had not asked to go potty in a while. I asked him if he needed to go, and he said 'No'. I kept thinking 'Oh Lord, that child has had an accident, and I don't have any clothes with me. 'Then I said, 'Danny, are you SURE you didn't have an accident? ''No,' he replied. I just KNEW that he must have had an accident, because the smell was getting worse. Soooooo, I asked one more time, 'Danny, did you have an accident?'This time he jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over, spread his cheeks and yelled 'SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!' While 30 people nearly choked to death on their tacos laughing, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down.

An old couple made me feel better, thanking me for the best laugh they'd ever had!
>
>
>
> LAST BUT NOT LEAST TESTIMONY: This had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will, in the future, likely think before she speaks.

What happens when you predict snow but don't get any! We had a female news anchor that, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't, turned to the weatherman and asked: 'So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?'Not only did HE have to leave the set, but half the crew did too they were laughing so hard! Now, didn't that feel good? Pass it on to someone you know who needs a laugh and remember we all say things we don't really mean, so think before you speak!!!

Girl, meet Ninja.

It might take awhile for this video to buffer. It was a headache to upload it because its 42 seconds, and I guess thats too much to handle. Its just a cute video of Girl and Ninja. It was taken yesterday, 2 days after we got him. This is the first time she would get close to him. She was scared of him at first! LOL! Enjoy, I hope it works!

Kitten Update

Uh...so its not a girl. We had been calling her Penelope, but when we took her to the vet today they said it was a boy. So his name is Ninja. He's about 12 weeks old. The vet said that if he was someones pet, they werent taking very good care of him. So we got him meds for his eyes and got him wormed or dewormed or whatever. So he's happy and healthy! Yay!

Look what the dogs dragged (drug?) in!






Tonight (Sunday) I took the dogs out for a walk about 7:30 when it was just getting dark and took them to the park really quick so they could get some energy out before going to bed. I let them off their leashes and they sprint back and forth through the park and I run after them making sure they dont go into the road. (Its safe) Anyway, a kitten was out walking and the dogs immediately ran to it. I panicked because the last time they saw a cat they chased it through a sewer pipe. But the kitten just stayed there and got sniffed. So I picked it up, and it had gooey eyes and a crusty nose, and I thought it might be abandoned. (Who lets their kitten roam the neighborhood at night?) And it was about to storm, so we went home and it wolfed down some food and water, and has been just chillin ever since. Im taking her (Its a girl) to the vet tomorrow to make sure she's not sick and to find out how old she is and everything....get her shots if she needs them. I posted an ad on Craigslist for anyone who is missing a kitten in my area and in 5 hours I have 0 responses. I'll repost tomorrow....so if we dont find an owner, what do you think? Should we keep her? Or should we give her away? She's really sweet and playful, she's not a nasty cat at all. Right now she's sleeping on my keyboard and its making it hard to type....should we keep her????? Reply with your answer! Thanks!

Mount Rainier Climb





Travis and I went to climb Mount Rainier last weekend and here are a couple of pictures from the climb. The weather was perfect, my water froze in my backpack bladder tube, and we didnt get lost!! We didnt go all the way to the top, but we did hike a little beyond camp Muir (where climbers stay the night before they push for the summit) which is at 10,188 feet above sea level. Enjoy!
