thats what my money is on Deb...a young carpenter ant...
and if thats a carpenter ant sting/bite lord help me if i got a fire ant bite...i have a high pain tolerace, i slept though tattoos and have 2 tats in some of the most painfull places (across theshoulder tendons and on the INSIDE of my ankle/foot), i didnt even flinch (or notice) when i got my belly button peirced ect...but one little ant bite and im hopping around the bunny yard swearing at it! lol.
You are close SSD, the little Car is toy story is RC, but my Arcee is from Transformers, Arcee is the most famous of the Female Autobots, in the cartoons she was always pictured as a pink car (usually a convertable), (though in the newer movies shes the pink motorcycle)...
and one day...i plan on having my sebring painted hot pink
anywho, headed out this morning stopped at walmart, got a bucket, sponge, shampoo for my car and some other stuff...
got home, NO SPONGE...dont knwo where it whent, i paid for it...
not driving allthe way back up there for a $2 sponge right now so i did it with my little sponge...
it worked...my dirty grey car is now a shiney silver car. though she could at some point do with a good waxing, the car wash stuff i bought is the rainex with wax beads supposedly wash and wax in one, but she hasnt had a good wax since i got her...so ill probably take it to the hand wash place next time i wash her and get her waxed properly (i dont have the energy to hand wax lol)
i picked up a tube of adhesive that im hoping will fix the spot where my soft top is pulling away from the back window...
now shes clean outside, the plan is tomorrow afternoon to try and clean her inside...this involves taking a metric buttload of gourds out of the trunk, and vacuming her out in her entirerty. then polishing her down inside with some armorall to keep the plastic conditioned...so thats the plan for tomorrow afternoon, i figure ive got to vacume the house anyway, so whats a little more vacuming. then weed wacing will resume on thursday.
Dozer also has a new collar...the one he had was getting too small and at only 1/2 an inch wide it was dissapearing under his neck wrinkles (hes part bulldog and part corso, they BOTH have alot of loose skin in the neck area lol) and it was causing an indent in the neck/fur decpite being loose enough. so i upgraded him today to a more proper bulldog width of 1 1/2", length wise it shoudl also fit him for the rest of his life. and width wise,the extra 1" on the wirth should help it sit more comfortbaly on the neck rather than tuck inder the skin which i personally Know can be uncomfrtable.
now i need a new name tag for him.
also only aother 25 swag bucks away from ordering the new clipper blade for my dog clippers and ruby can get a long over due haircut. i think she also deserves a brand new collar at some point, especially after having to look like a lamb for the last couple of months (i had someone come to look at bunnies thinking she was a baby sheep LOL) the blades cost almost $25 but the last one lasted me 2 years so...overall its worth it...
i also bougth a watermellon from a guy selling on the side of the road...ive been craving watermellon since mum and dad came out but couldnt fit one in the fridge (and wasnt paying the "pre cut" prices for a small tub) now theres a good sized watermellon sitting in my fridge along with some sirlon that was on sale. i think tonights dinner is going to be savory watermellon and sirlon with a small side salad.
savory watermellon is watermellon with fresh cracked pepper and parmesan cheese...yes it sounds well and turly uttlerly GROSS but omg its delicious...some friends of my parents put some out for us at a bbq they had befor ei left and i got brave enough and tried it and was incredibly pleasantly suprised. the slight saltyness of the parm cheese the gentle kick of the pepper and the sweet freshness of the melon odly enough work well together!
i also put banannas, grapes, avacado, some icecream, and other "not usually on my shopping list goodies" in the fridge because my food buget is a little easier going this month thanks to mum and dad putting some food in the fridge. ive got about $13 left for the months food which shold cover milk untill the end of the month AND mabe a pack of on sale meat of some kind
got hay and straw too...yay for getting things whent to get lol. still bugged by the factthat theres a big ole sponge sitting somewhere in walmart. i think it probably fell out in the parking lot, i had cart from the garden center and she packed the bags all lopsided
anywho...4:30, going to check facebook, and scour craigslist and then mabe ill change spray myself in anti bug stuff and try and get a little more weed whacking done lol...little by little right?!
as a side note...dozer got in trouble for chasing burdock (one of the geese today) burdock did however quickly decide runnin was not helping and promptly just lay down and waited for me to come rescue him. Dozer and jasper both got a good yelling at (because goosey ran they both thought "hey fun")
I just picked him up and took him back to the quacker yard while i finnished washing my car and couldnt supervise. Dandelion was not happy about burdock being on the "Wrong" side of the fence so i then had to go pick her up and put her back in too because panic in waterfowl measn run into whichever corner is furthest away from where i need to be lol.
the dogs have been good with the birds, i just thinkg they got overly excited...but unless i can supervise i dont want them alone with the waterfowl...
but yeah, thats been my day today. tomorrow is clean up...clean the house...clean the car...and if i dont run out of daytime hours id like to paint the last of the kitchen cabinates (the one above the fridge). thursday im kinda hoping to put a second coat of paint in the kitchen (Make use of the neighbors ladder while i still have it...
) and then i can return his ladder and get through some more "path clearing" outside...
and in the mean time i need to figure out what i want to do in terms of a backsplash for the kitchen. i need somehting behind the stove and then theres a small area on either side of the fridge. part of me wants to go RED since the floor is now balck and white and the cabinates are white and the hardwares black...but i think all red would be too much so im thinking of doing somehting in a high gloss white with red accents or something...
I want to have the kitchen finnished by the end of july
. bedrooms i want to get done aug/september and then in the fall i can focus on the bathroom which is going to be a multi-faceted job. infact if mum and dad havent re-located before then and dad comes out in september, i think the bathroom will be the focus job for that trip...(i need his help taking out the sink and putting in a vanity
)
