So far this year, the bunnies are winning. I don't know what the owl is doing, but it sure as f@$% isn't protecting my bell peppers. And the rubber snakes aren't holding their own. :-(I heard that if you plant spicy peppers, like Jalapenos or Habaneros around the crops you want to grow, Rabbits and Deer will stay away. It seems that they don't like the smell of the hot stuff.
*sigh* Edit: Gets dressed.
Yup, did that too. Not nude though, the neighbors were super specific about that needing to stop.

Maybe that's the key! If I perch naked in the garden all night that'll frighten the rabbits (and everything else) away.
Edit: Damn! Cap'n Yesterday's Anatomically Correct (If Slightly Exaggerated) Scarecrow is too long for an alias. :-(

Have you tried caltrops, or quicksand?

Well, today continues to get more and more interesting. 4 different environments, all claimed to be "identical", and 3 different behaviors.
At this point they can't get a hold of the bus, much less throw us under it...

Zoo trip it is!

A bartender was setting up for the night's business when a pink and purple giraffe, a neon blue rhinoceros, and a green tiger walk in. He says "You guys are early. Bill's not here yet."
I'm not afraid to admit I don't know what this means.
Dang it. I need to carve out time today to update my PbP.
Who knew summer made it so much harder to do this sort of thing?!

I have to say, I don't agree with the modern zoo aesthetic of blindingly white concrete coupled with bleach white canvass tenting.
My poor exhausted eyes!
Ah! Thanks!

Between getting up at 4:30, making sure Pea Bear's swimsuit is washed after swimming in the algae that constitutes half of the water in our lakes, which she forgot anyway, having to wait for the maintenance guy to fix the AC, and then taking Tiny T-Rex to the zoo, I am wiped out.
And I guess I wasn't feeling as good as I thought I was. :-(
And because the General works overtime this week, it's all us for another three hours.

Today was the kidlet's middle school graduation. He still has the school trip next week, but he's all done going to classes. Right now he's torn between being sad that he's never going back to that school and happy that summer vacation is starting. Well, after next week anyways. And don't forget the panicked about starting somewhere new next year part. And there's only five kids from his middle school going to the same high school as him, so there won't be people there he knows already. I haven't had time yet to do the whole wah, my baby's growing up! thing yet because I've been too busy comforting him. :P
Thoughts from the graduation ceremony:
-This place really needs air conditioning
-lol. Some of these kids are dressed up like it's prom or something. The girl with the sparkly dress and the flower crown was especially memorable, as was the guy in the suit and fedora. Felt really bad for the boys who wore suits though. See thought number one.
-That one kid that's been in class with the kidlet since second grade is every bit as much of a ham as he ever was.He gave a speech and it was a bright spot of humor in an otherwise dull program.
-I totally sympathize with the kid who couldn't suppress the eyerolls while performing the overly sappy, emotional choral numbers.
-The seats in that auditorium give less space than airline seats. Not even exaggerating.
-Given that speaking to students is part of their job, why are all the teachers so bloody bad at talking during presentations where parents are present? Not a new thing here. I've sat through too many awkward curriculum nights to be surprised. It's still baffling.

All of that is true.

Okay, busy and kind of not feeling well. Still, can't complain. :-)

I tweaked something in my neck earlier stretching my shoulders. Tiny T-Rex thought I was just trying to be funny and started imitating me saying "ow, my neck, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" :-)
Luckily, it was temporary. :-)

Watching my dad's dog.
She's a Beagle as well.
They both love to see me stretch out to my absolute arm span. And then pull some more.
And she grew up in a town with 300+ people, so she doesn't get the whole four lane street thing.

Urghh... Schoolwork has been crushing, and while I can't believe I'm saying this, I can't wait for my Greek final next Friday, so that I'll be done with school...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hurray, Greek!
A favorite of mine.
Even if I'm not any use with it. lol

At some point I made a new alias. No idea what it was and I doubt I'd know which one it is.
So, there's that.
Also, I should probably go to bed and hope that makes sense in the morning.

Pavlov was sitting in a bar drinking a beer. He heard the phone ring and said "Oh! I forgot to feed the dog."
I am one of Pavlov's dogs.
In my job I have a machine with an alarm that has a kinda musical sound. Each time it sounds I have to quit what I am doing, stand up and go to check it ASAP.There was a TV advertising with exactly the same sound. Each time I heard it I had to fight hard the impulse of standing up and go to check a machine that wasn't there.
