Pranks September 24,2013

     A few days ago, we ate at Wendy's he ordered himself a hamburger, baked potato, and a frosty.  He had to go to the bath room, and I opened his hamburger and took a bite (It smelled so good, because I have been taken off red meat.) I couldn't resist just one bite.  Then I wrapped it back up .  When he came back, he was working on the potato, and finally, he opened his hamburger.  The  big missing bite was the first thing he saw. I wish you could have seen his face. Hahahah. It didn't enter his mind that I would have touched it, because I have been faithful to the doctor's orders.  He looked up front (trying to figure out what to do with it)  and then back at his hamburger.  It was just too much, and I started laughing.  It takes so little to amuse me!!!!!

Sept.'s gifts and other things Sept.17 ,2013

Ahhhh, the joys of September...cooler days (yeah), curling leaves falling to the ground, cicada's screaming through the solitude, and gnats.
Yes, gnats... this is their month.  Where they come from, nobody knows.  They just appear one day and multiple.  I have searched the house.  What could possibly be creating a hatchery for these little flying creatures?  How do you combat them?  They are faster than a speeding bullet and can leap tall refrigerators to escape any evil plans I have for them.
My husband and I   planned another diversion tactic.  I read of a bowl of vinegar with soap in it...done..in the kitchen and the bathroom.  Next, a trip to  Walmart  to buy fly spirals (those sticky things that hang in spirals).  One hanging in the kitchen and two in the bathroom.  All good so far.  Wow, gnats al  la vinegar bowl-- gnats covered spiral:).  It appears this could work.  I believe it is a catching machine.  We are sooooo smart :) until...until... I go into the bathroom and reach for a towel and was stuck like a gnat to the sticky thing!!!  This horrible nasty thing had captured me. I pulled and was stuck more.  It took the other hand to pull myself loose and now that poison and goop was all over both hands.  Let me tell you , I fully understand how it catches  things.  It took FOREVER to get that stuff washed, rubbed, washed again and   off of me.  The gifts of September can bring surprises.

Bed time visitor Sept. 8, 2013

Snoozing away, I felt it. My eyes popped opened, and I did a back flip out of bed,and snapped a light in the same motion. Ripping the covers apart, I searched for that monster! Do you know what a grown woman can do when she's looking for a creepy crawly? I stood there panting staring at that bed. I saw it, a tiny brown moth that blended right into my rosebud sheets. At that point, I had enough adrenalin in me to kill a Bengal tiger with my bare hands, and that moth didn't have a chance. I wonder when I'll go back to sleep.
