The Queen Mum also feeds the birds and ultimately IT... sunflower seeds... you should see the size of the chipmunk...

What a relief. I did the dreaded mowing and weedwhacking in my backyard. Ugghh!!! I still have some work to do, pulling weeds out around my central air box thingy. I'll probably tackle that tomorrow. It's been shut off for quite some time after spring showed up, so we don't need heat on, and it's not been warm enough for AC yet.

So.......hopefully I tackled another problem today. I've never had ants in this house in the 3 years we've lived here. Until today. I've encountered about 7 so far and I'm freaked out because I always do whatever I can to avoid bugs inside. Yuck. So I went exploring outside to see if I can find where they're coming from. I found an area where there are TONS (and I don't see any anywhere else), so I got out my stuff I sprinkle every spring to keep them away and hopefully took care of it. I sprinkled it all around the whole house, so it should work.

Now I'm on my front porch enjoying the cool breeze and the piggies are in their little fenced area in the grass, munching away and looking happy. Still need to clean their cage. Will do that before bringing them back inside.

 

[HollyTyler]

Michelle, sorry about your stone again. Is there any way to prevent them? It must be so awful always dealing with them.

I'm thinking I'm getting cursed by the God's of Fathers day... I get them from him...

Diet should be my main goal...

Also stress brings them on...

I wonder if I'm stressed lately...

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of foods should you avoid?

 

[Tink rules]

chocolate... stawberries... all the good stuff...

especially when you LOVE chocolate covered strawberries...

Oh, that really stinks!

It's almost time for me to go and mix up my cocktail of lime juice... trying to avoid the one with the olive oil in it...

Mom and I went out for dinner a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't even get NEAR the dipping stuff they had for the bread cause I've overdone it on the olive oil...

I had a quesadilla burger from Applebees almost 3 hours ago and I'm STILL stuffed! I'm sure it was horribly high in points, but I hadn't used many today, so I'm OK with that. It sure was yummy though! Instead of a hamburger bun, the burger is between 2 tortilla with salsa and cheese on it. YUMMY!!!! It was sort of my little bribe to get myself to mow.

OK.....off to clean a poopy cage! Might be back later, might not. I plan on relaxing with a book tonight.

Oh my gosh, that's horrible! Well, not about the liver part, liver grosses me out, but it would be awfully hard to resist many of those things!

One more thing before I go:

Win cash every 10 minutes from General Mills

If you don't have a code click "don't have code"

You will have to register, but it's quick and painless. We all could use a little extra money right now, I'm sure!

Hi Kathe!!!

How is your weekend?

 

[katypop]

Hi Kathe!!!

How is your weekend?

Well, I'm trying to stay awake tonight until midnight to book my excursions on the second half of my B2B. I've been up since 5:30 AM as I had to work today. There is a graduation party going on next door I don't know how many 13 yr olds but they are running, and squealing and Should help me stay awake though

Have your plants survived the hail from the other day?

I have finally caught a picture of the culprit who ate ALL my Zinnias......


No wonder he/she has a fat A$$....

I'm surprised it can move. Does it hop?

The basement is dried out, and no, the water does not come in down the back stairs, or through the basement walls, it comes up through the drains in the basement floor.

I've seen it happen and there are actually water spouts.

Fortunately it all goes down just as quickly as it comes up. It was bad, but not as bad as it can be. It only came just into our bedroom. In the past it's come all the way up to the front of the house, where there's been about 7 inches of water at the deepest point.

I have about 9 fans, one of which is a big industrial one. I had 7 of them going and dried out the floor. I'm thinking of investing in another industrial one.

There's something very odd going on outside today. It's making me nervous. There's all this light. I seem to remember that they call that sunshine. But thank goodness, that nasty sunshine is supposed to go away and it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

---------------------------

And now for something completely different.

I have been making a dessert as of late that is tasty, satisfying, low in points, and uses 1/2 of a serving of skim milk.

Ian's Crunchy Pudding Cup

• Find a granola or crunchy, healthy cereal. Compare and read labels carefully. The granola you choose should only have a maximum of 1 point for 1/4 cup.
• Put 1/4 cup of granola on the bottom of dessert dishes (I use little ramekins)
• Make any flavor of Jello sugar free pudding you like using skim milk
• Dollop 1/2 cup of pudding on top of cereal in each dish
• Chill

It's very tasty and each cup is only 2 points.

Oh, that dessert sounds good! I am so sorry about your flooding! oh, dear.

They have survived the hail... Tink lost part of her wing on my bird bath... will have to check to see if they can survive flooding...

Shouldn't...

Weebles Wobble and this one doesn't have enough space to fall too far down...
