Re: Say anything... again!
That sucks! When you said it wouldn't start the second time, I figured it was the alternator not recharging the battery. Hopefully it's all covered!
oh poor G! that happened to connor once when we were visiting a local vineyard. i felt like a complete and total failure for having let him get in the situation, and not being able to do anything when he was covered in ants : (
the good news is... he doesn't remember that anymore, so my failure is forgotten. hopefully he will be able to keep from scratching the bajeezas out of them... band-aid makes a bug-bite spray that worked pretty well for him when they were itchy.
harmony, that is one hell of a bad day, especially after the guy was such a horse-ass to you on the phone. i hope the issue is easily fixable.

I agree. FB really reaches sometimes with their "people you may know" suggestions. Just because I have 1 friend in common with someone does not mean that I am going to run out and send friend requests to all of their friends!
the idiot people on facebook posting that 52 horses will be slaughtered on Friday if they don't find homes are annoying the bajeezas out of me.
seriously? do people think someone is going to haul off and slaughter 52 perfectly sellable horses?
SNOPES, PEOPLE!

I haven't seen that one once today!
Our house was overtaken by ghost ants - similar to sugar ants. We're still not quite done with them, but almost... The pest control company had to leave ant bait out and convince me to leave them alone. It's been tough, but it seems to be working... Good luck!
BFP with no treatment!
i am excited! i get to shoot at House of Blues this week, and a pretty winery next week. WHEEE!
also, more facebook ranting: if you live together, the schmoopy-business on facebook all day every day is almost embarassing me for you. i mean, i understand posting a couple of times here and there that you love your boyfriend/husband/mom/dad/kid/dog. it's cute. but like 10 times a day?!?!?!

We had those last summer. It was a good thing Cooper wasn't talking at that point because the amount of 4 letter words that I spoke daily would have made a sailor blush.
I feel the same way about a few friends. Especially one who every single post is about her dog. Do you not do anything? Another only posts about her child. Every post. Really/
In related news is it sad that I'm available for your promotion but wouldn't dare do it in my current shape
OH yes! This is DH's cousin and his wife (they're like 20 and she's pretty trampy looking but that's a different story) and all I can think is DUDE! Your Grandpa is on facebook, lay off the embarrassing smoochy posts and the curse words, mmmkay?
a) if you did, i would make you look beautiful because i have mad skillz. trust me, i'm a professional ; )
b) i got two takers (you're too late!), so i'm doing one studio and one House of Blues. i have a bridal show at HOB next week and my door prize is a shoot (boudoir or bridal or a little of both) in the Foundation Room. I figured what better way to make this look awesome than by already having a really cool boudoir shot in the Fdn room? WHEE!
boudoir is such a catch-22. it's absolutely beautiful and stuff, but then it's so "special" that nobody will really give you the go-ahead to use their pics as portfolio. my portfolio consists of a bunch of ladies with faces blocked (with their permission of course). but... it's all in the eyes! so i found myself thinking "okay, let's do this. where are the brave ladies?!?!?"
my photography blog
LOL I love you and your mad skillz. One day.
here's the deal. every woman is absolutely beautiful, and if you have someone to take those kinds of pics for, you have someone who sees the absolute beauty about you. i just have to figure out what beauty we can photograph without making you feel completely uncomfortable...lol. it' really more about the eyes and suggestion than anything else.

I told DH I thought about doing it once and his response was "Why?"
Gideon just came out of my bathroom ten minutes ago say, "there are more frigg'n ants in your drawer again"....
. And yes we have those damn, frigg'n, $$%^#@, ants again. Haven't had them in years? In the bathroom, no less WTH?
potato, puh-tah-to i guess. does he have any particular reasoning? this fascinates me. like, i wonder if it's because the thought of having them found by kids is scary, or because he's been through stuff that's mindbogglingly awesome with you-- having 3 babies. it kind of seems like after birthing a person a few times, a few sexy pictures maybe aren't all that miraculous?
i did them for DH, but i have to admit, i did them for me too. i like me. i like this place in life. hell yeah. i'm 35 and this is what i look like in hooker heels and a lacy tank top, biznatches! take that, grandkids : )
my photography blog
i laughed a little. but only because i can just see the look on your face when he tape-recordered you ; )
have you tried those little raid ant baits? they're beige, and they got rid of my ants, even around the kitty food. i realize they might not be the same kind of ants, but it's worked for us.
i was cleaning behind one of the bookshelves in the kitchen, and i found a zillion of them in a little cobweb. i don't know where that spider is, but i bet she's not hungry!!!
my photography blog
I hate to have the pest company to come out for just that, but if we can't get rid of them soon, I'm calling.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Surprise BFP naturally!!! IT'S A BOY!!!
knowing him it was probably more along the lines of spending money on something no one would ever see.
This is how I'm looking at it
Do your mad skilz involve breast enhancement? I ran to target for a few new bras today and I had to get push-up 34As to even slightly fill them out. What, am I 12? Too bad I can't get/be pregnant tomorrow, because I'd jump up to a D for sure!
if only i could donate. oh boy would i ever donate.

Here's the ant bait our guy left out. The ants in our bathroom now don't seem as interested in it as the rest of them were so we may have to call him back out to put something different out for them. They were in our kitchen (two places), dining room, office, master bathroom, and garage. I about had a nervous breakdown. They had sprayed outside the house and apparently pissed off a bunch of colonies that have been living in our walls... It was awesome.

BFP with no treatment!
Yep. I bought a bottle of the liquid Terro last year. It was the same thing that the pest control people put out. We filled the caps to water bottles and placed them where we had ants. The first time it took about a week to get rid of them, now spot treating gets rid of them in a day or two.
I'm going to try that.
I got rid of them in the kitchen a couple months ago with a sour cream container lid full of 'borax syrup' but now they're in the bathroom, living room, and dining room. I picked one off of my cheek today. So gross. And my skin has been creepy-crawly ever since.
SIL lost the baby and I'm just so heartbroken for her.
I am so sorry to hear that.
Sounds like what mine would say. Followed by "what a waste of money."
