This is the time of the year that the house gets invaded by bugs, ants and spiders so we have our local pest control company come out and give the house a go over with his magic spraying machines and the variety of traps that they use in order to keep these pesky pests under control.

This time when he came out I told him that I have been finding evidence of some mice here and there, so he set us up with a couple of old fashioned mouse traps that he baited with some new fangled cheese flavored gunk that comes out of a can much like the Cheese Whiz does. If I didn’t know any better I would swear that it is Cheese Whiz. Whatever it was, it is working. Each trap that he placed throughout has trapped a mouse and since I grab an old rag and pick up the dead mouse stilled in the trap and toss the whole kit and caboodle in the trash we now need to buy some more traps to set up again and hopefully we can get this mouse situation tackled in short order.

Last Friday I stopped at TGIF Fridays for a drink after work and met the nicest couple at the bar. We decided to share a booth and sat and talked and drank for at least two hours. I know one thing for sure, that I was getting a bit tipsy towards the end. Anyway, turns out they know many of the same crowd that I do. They are a very open and honestly pleasant couple and we hit it off rather well. They invited me to come to a party they were planning, still a month or so off, and that they had intended to invite many of the same friends we share as well. Of course I accepted, being a bit of a party girl myself still.

The kicker of it is that they are having the party out on a lake on their houseboat! Can you believe it? I can’t wait to go, I have always wanted to go on a houseboat. I remember as a little girl I used to fantasize about living on one, sort of like in the movies as in the old black and white, made for TV movie, about “Tammy and the Professor”. It should be fun, I’ll let you know how it turns out.

We looked into internet providers Middleville and decided to finally get satellite internet. I love that I can do so much on the internet. I knew about internet shopping, but didn’t realize how much you could really buy off of the internet. I started ordering all of our bathroom tissue, paper towels, and non-perishable food items from Amazon.com. They have really great deals and if you order a certain amount of money worth, you can get free shipping. It really gives me a lot more time because I am not running back and forth into town. Lastly, I have been able to order specialty groceries that I cannot get in town off of the internet. I am of Lebonese descent and love to cook the traditional food. My favorite snack is stuffed grape leaves. Now I order the grape leaves and make them all the time. I am really glad that we decided to get satellite internet. My husband is glad too, because he loves all the wonderful dishes that I have been cooking because I can order the ingredients off the internet.

I’m glad that Halloween is on a Sunday this year. It makes it so much easier when it falls on a weekend, don’t you think so? My kids are getting a bit old for trick or treating but they are still wanting to wear a costume and attend the parties that are held at school and church.

I’ll be staying home handing out candy to the neighborhood kids that come up each year. Hope it is nice weather for them, it usually isn’t raining, but it can get chilly when the sun goes down and all the ghosts and goblins come out!

More and more people are drinking bottled water, which is a good thing. The bad thing is that more and more people are just tossing the empty bottles into the trash or worse yet, littering our Mother Earth with the empties. It doesn’t take much effort to put the empties into a recycling bin people!
