I confess I'm a home wrecker......
Today as I was out walking I noticed a pretty blue gray bird by the side of the lake and as I passed, I watched it fly off it was beautiful.
When I turned my face forward again I did so just in time to see the middle of a rather large spider web. It spanned over my head to mid chest.
First of all I'm sorry spider for wrecking your very close knit large web. I'm sure it took along time to make. I hope you have enough web to build another one
Secondly. Shriek, wild thrashing about with my arms trying to get it off of me, and dear God please don't let that spider be on me.
I was pulling weeds in my front flower garden Saturday. (It was WAY past due, and the weeds were way out of control, but that's a different confession.) I have a certain garbage can that I put pulled weeds in. It's really old and has a hole worn in the bottom, so I can't put anything small or liquid in it. Anyway, I pull out this garbage can and there is a GINORMOUS black widow spider in its web behind the garbage can. I don't have a photo to show you, because I was too busy SQUISHING it!!!0 -

I have no hope of catching up. I have been watching my food intake, but I confess that I had no motivation to do any upper body stuff for the last two weeks as my ankle has been healing. I did nothing except walk my kids to school. I've gone out for longer walks twice this week though. Back at it!
I just pinned a recipe for baked pumpkin donuts. I am going to try it very soon.
I missed so much. I hope everyone is doing well.
I'm glad you are back, I'm new here and looking forward to getting to know you
Thank you! Same here!

I didn't check in all weekend and now I'm behind! Hoping to get to catch up today.
I have a serious case of the Mondays...0 -

Mmm wow didn't know those existed!!
It was just a jelly doughnut with (glorious) peanut butter frosting, but it was absolutely what I needed/wanted.
My local doughnut shop makes a strawberry filled doughnut with peanut butter icing. I miss those. And this year they are making a pumpkin filled with cream cheese icing. I got Mr. Mel.one the other day. It smelled wonderful.
Dear God,
Please let Heaven be filled with these pumpkin donuts when I get there. Thank you.
Love,

Yes, yes... 1000 times yes.
The only good thing about fall: it's Pumpkin Season.
Blasphemy! I love fall. I can't wait for jacket weather.
ETA: It occurs to me that Canadian fall is probably not what I'd like fall to be. I'll just be over here with my apple cider...
Yep- separated at birth.
I am a fall/winter person. I like sweaters, tights, high boots, etc. I do not like summer clothes. I am always glad when fall hits.
I agree I love seeing how people layer their clothes, their boots, & the different jacks they wear.
Plus it's better to see customers in more clothes rather than seeing less of them.
I enjoy every season but usually by the end of one season I'm ready for the next.
I'm looking forward to fall and cooler weather.
Same. I live in Eastern Washington, and we have crazy extreme weather. It's around 100 degrees most of the summer, and then we have a very short actual fall, and then it snows from October to March. By the end of the "seasons" here I am so done.0 -

My all-grown-up daughter reminded me the other day that one Halloween she woke up the morning after to find a pile of wrappers in the living room. My explanation that I was saving her from the ravages of candy did not go over well.
Must remember to buy her a pile of chocolate when she visits during the holidays.
Aw! I tell my kids that there is a candy tax for living here in November. I know they know I'm full of it, but they still laugh and give me candy.

I'll get to do a bunch of chemistry lab testing (which is very exciting to me
).
I get to quit my current job next week (where I'm on my feet 4-5 hours every day for 6 days a week). I've been celebrating getting this new job all week but plan on getting back on track by Monday.
That is awesome. Congrats!0 -

first date #22
this was saturday afternoon and was probably the most "non-date" first date ever.
i'll fully admit, i didn't even attempt to try.
had been talking to this dude for a lil while, and we kept trying to set something up, but schedules were always getting in the way. so on saturday he's like hey! i'm free for a bit this afternoon if you want to chill. my reply? it's a pajama jams saturday, i have zero intentions of doing anything other than having beverages and listening to my ipod. zero fracks shall be given. (yeah, not trying, at all).
apparently this dude saw my ghetto attitude as fun and refreshing (lol), and was like sounds awesome!
so dude came over and chilled on the porch for a while with beverages, chit chats, and a random cig here and there. he was also very fond of my batman pajamas (yeah i don't mess around). found out he's a lawyer (classy!), and really, really chill and relaxed, which apparently doesn't quite meld with his profession. so i'm thinking the idea to sit on a porch with a chick in pj's and beverages would be a fun change of pace.
and he was really nice! hung out for a few hours, and i actually had a great time.
maybe a #2? who knows, gonna have to wait and see, but overall a good day

Well my time to 'run' was going to come up in front of this lady's house and I don't want to be judged, glared at, and "tsked" at while running. Not fun. So here's my confession:
I thought of @Italian_Buju and her profile pic and thought to myself, "It doesn't matter what she looks at, judges, or "tsks" at. It's her problem, not mine. I'm lapping her @$$ anyway because all I've ever seen her do is sit on that outdoor couch."
I ran right past her house and she "Tsked" me and I didn't even care. I was doing my body good and she can just sit there and watch me be amazing.
What a not nice lady. Ignoring her nonsense is a great plan. I probably would have flipped her off by now, so good for you for being more mature

Hmm... We never really talked about it. The kids always got a TON of candy at Halloween. They just naturally gave me some of it every year when they were little. Some of my favorites, and some of the things they didn't like (Almond Joy).0 -
NSV! After feeling bright, sprightly and energetic all day (this can almost certainly be directly attributed to the gorgeous spring weather), I got to the ice rink, and on my second warm-up lap...tripped on my toepick at speed and landed heavily on my right knee. It hurt like crazy, and I can still barely put weight on it, so end of the session for me.
The NSV came afterwards, though. On my way home, I was sulking and grumbling and got in the turning lane to go get my favourite takeaway (not quite grief bacon, more like frustration bacon)...and then I said "NO!" and got out of the turning lane and drove straight home and had my planned dinner!
(I did have a big bowl of ice cream that fit into my calories, too!)
Wow I hope your your knee gets better.
Good job sticking to your plan0 -
@KylerJaye - Yay for a decent first date!!0

Black widow spiders freaked me out as a kid. Some how I got the impression that if they bit me I could become very ill and possibly die.
We had a tack shed that they seemed to like for some reason. I remember going into it with my sister behind me.
Well there was one over my head and running right at me. I think I ran clean over my sister to get out.
My husband laughs about when he was young that they ( all boys in the family) had a black widow spider as a pet. They would feed it flies. They kept it in a mason jar with little holes in the top so it could breathe. All went well until till she had about 1000 babies that were small enough to crawl out the holes in the top. They all laugh about it.
To this day I can catch and hold almost anything but spiders.0 -

My husband insists that the crawl space has brown recluse spiders. And then he wonders why I refuse to go in there. I don't care what it is, but if it's stored in the crawl space, I don't need it.

Anyway, I pull out this garbage can and there is a GINORMOUS black widow spider in its web behind the garbage can. I don't have a photo to show you, because I was too busy SQUISHING it!!!
Black widow spiders freaked me out as a kid. Some how I got the impression that if they bit me I could become very ill and possibly die.
We had a tack shed that they seemed to like for some reason. I remember going into it with my sister behind me.
Well there was one over my head and running right at me. I think I ran clean over my sister to get out.
My husband laughs about when he was young that they ( all boys in the family) had a black widow spider as a pet. They would feed it flies. They kept it in a mason jar with little holes in the top so it could breathe. All went well until till she had about 1000 babies that were small enough to crawl out the holes in the top. They all laugh about it.
To this day I can catch and hold almost anything but spiders.

first date #22
this was saturday afternoon and was probably the most "non-date" first date ever.
i'll fully admit, i didn't even attempt to try.
had been talking to this dude for a lil while, and we kept trying to set something up, but schedules were always getting in the way. so on saturday he's like hey! i'm free for a bit this afternoon if you want to chill. my reply? it's a pajama jams saturday, i have zero intentions of doing anything other than having beverages and listening to my ipod. zero fracks shall be given. (yeah, not trying, at all).
apparently this dude saw my ghetto attitude as fun and refreshing (lol), and was like sounds awesome!
so dude came over and chilled on the porch for a while with beverages, chit chats, and a random cig here and there. he was also very fond of my batman pajamas (yeah i don't mess around). found out he's a lawyer (classy!), and really, really chill and relaxed, which apparently doesn't quite meld with his profession. so i'm thinking the idea to sit on a porch with a chick in pj's and beverages would be a fun change of pace.
and he was really nice! hung out for a few hours, and i actually had a great time.
maybe a #2? who knows, gonna have to wait and see, but overall a good day
Awesome! First date in batman pj's! I love it!

Today as I was out walking I noticed a pretty blue gray bird by the side of the lake and as I passed, I watched it fly off it was beautiful.
When I turned my face forward again I did so just in time to see the middle of a rather large spider web. It spanned over my head to mid chest.
First of all I'm sorry spider for wrecking your very close knit large web. I'm sure it took along time to make. I hope you have enough web to build another one
Secondly. Shriek, wild thrashing about with my arms trying to get it off of me, and dear God please don't let that spider be on me.

I'm glad you a) had a good time b) met someone who obviously has an appreciation for "real" c) didn't have to fend off any unwanted advances. Fingers crossed for a second date with this one.
@berlynnwall good to see you back! And didn't you post something about pumpkin spice donuts....? 0
