Well, I have an hour before I have to go pick my daughter up from her HOSA meeting so I had better get to cleaning the house! No one else will do it and we have found a lot of black widows in the kitchen even within 2 hours of washing all the dishes and putting them away, they are in the sink! So, we try to keep it really clean to spot them.

YUCK!!!!!! I hate spiders and we seem to be over run with them this year. My cat tries to kill them, but unfortunately can't get them all.

That makes it difficult Jeffrey, I hope you have an instructor who will respond and help you. Some do and some don't, but remember you will have to evaluate them at the end of your course, or I always have to. Some don't get such good ones. They are supposed to be available to us in a reasonable amount of time. Hang in there.

I am so glad I don't live in a spider-y area anymore! When I was a teenager, we lived in southern Missouri, the Ozark mountain area, so there was all sorts of "wildlife". When we first moved into our house, it had been vacant for the summer months, so we had a lot of spiders. My sister trapped one in a glass one night because it was so huge, she was afraid to kill it because of the gut smear it would leave on the wall! When I started driving, I would run over tarantulas as they were crossing the road. I would even swerve into the other lane to get them. I figured if they we're big enough for me to see them while driving in the car, they deserved to die! I know, it's bad karma, but ick!

Last week, I was walking around the house trying to unload some grocery bags and I was putting some shampoo in the bathroom when I noticed I felt something tickling on my hand. I was flying all around the house in a hurry to get it all put where it all needs to go, but I looked down. I screamed, threw everything down, and shook my hand all around in terror. There was a huge hairy grayish brown spider on my hand and it was big! Oh, I already said it was big, but it was even bigger because it was on me! He was this big ---------- . Well, he ran off somewhere, but resurfaced again 2 days later a foot above my daughter's bed. I got him that time.

So, yesterday, I go get the mail from the mailbox and I reach in and grab it all, and I start to walk back to the house and I feel tickly feelings again on my hand. I look and really freak out as I now have a black widow crawling up my arm! Luckily I freaked out and shook my hand so he fell to the ground where I terminated him. I seriously hate black widows and brown recluses! I try to not kill all spiders because they are good for pests but if I don't know what it is and if it's on me, all bets are off! I mean I know it's halloween season and all, but this is just too much!

Hey chic...I feel you on that...I hate spiders too! Ew! The ones I really hate are the jumpy spider/cricket looking things...yuck! We call them spickets...don't know if that is the right name or not...lol

Ugh! We went to AC because the Phillies won and we wanted to celebrate...ok well we probably would have gone even if they lost lol...I had a rough night and got very sick from drinking not fun at all. I somehow still lost 2 pounds even with all the alcohol. I turn 21 soon and I know I'm really going to have to be conscious of drinking because it's not good for someone who is trying to lose weight. Yikes.

Hey ladies...The Avenue is having a $18 pants sale!! I think it's just for dress pants but that's a good deal! Now that I am getting into smaller sizes I see there are more options than just Lane Bryant. I used to go there for everything. It's so overpriced and I really don't like shopping there anymore. Well I also used to despise shopping...I kinda wish I still did so it wouldn't burn such a hole in my pocket.

I'm off to another day of classes. Unfortunately I haven't exercised once this week, but I have been eating very good. This afternoon I plan to get my 3 miles in at the track and catch up on all these pages!

Thanks...I have an Avenue near me I'll have to check them out. Great job on the 2lb loss...especially with having a weekend like you did. Glad you had fun!!!
