PJ the spider killer!!


I have a wonderful little dog, PJ. PJ is a pug. I did a little research on pugs before I got her, and found out that pugs, in general, are very playful and surprising dogs!! Over the last two years, I have seen many sides to PJ's playful personality. But today I saw a superhero quality!!
I was out watering the flowers and plants, and over in one part of the yard were three barrels of greenery. PJ was outside with me, 'helping' me water. As I was watering one of the barrels, a large host of Daddy Long Leg spiders came spewing forth out of the barrel. Now, I know that Daddy Long Legs are not harmful to me, and out of all spiders, they scare me the least. But, having a fearful nature when it comes to creepy crawlies, I screamed anyways and jumped back. PJ looked up at me and then at the spiders and started growling at them!! I was touched. Never before had Pj shown any kind of protective quality when it has come to me and my husband. Then to my utter astonishment, PJ walks non-chalantly over to the barrel and starts snapping up the spiders one by one. PJ would get one in her mouth, shake it around and then spit it out, dead, on the ground. She would check that it didn't move before she went on to the next victim. What a dog!!!

jeepers!!! it's hot!!

Today was a day of personal insight on my part...
When it gets REALLY hot, and I mean hot enough to make you think you have died and gone to H-E-Double hockey sticks and I am out in this kind of heat, I found out that I do not like the human race. Period. Especially when I have to put up with the human race in Wal Mart!!! I think Wal-Mart puts a gas in their air system that makes even the nicest person mean and rude and, well, to put it bluntly, puts that person at the bottom of my like list, and the top of I'm-going-to-run-over-you-with-my-cart-and-laugh list. THEN add the heat factor, and my latter list turns into: I'm-going-to-run-you-over-with-my-cart-shoot-you-with-my-taser-beat-you-with-your-oversized-heavy-lead-bottomed-purse-til-you-bleed-ice-and-then-laugh-maniacally-until-I-pee-myself list!!! Sound familiar? Is there anyone who can second that feeling?! Or is it just me, the heat, and a personal vendetta against Wal Mart?! Maybe!
Anyhoo...
I came home, got on the phone and chewed out the cell phone company, hugged my grandmother, took a cool shower and chilled out!! Tonight I will take a Tylenol PM and get a FULL nights rest and then maybe not EVER go out in the heat again! And I think I will wait until the wee hours of a morning before attempting to traverse Wal Marts dangerous aisles. After all, what kind of nice old lady would venture into Wal Mart at 3 in the morning, only to be transformed into an evil creature!!
OK, I feel better! Enough therapy blogging!!!

internet ready...I think!

A friend of mine works via the internet, and likes doing it. She can stay at home with her kids and earn money on the side. So, I asked her for a few links to see if it was right for me....
I signed up today, and I hope I'm ready! I thought I was pretty savvy when it came to internet exploring, but I just took a couple of courses to get me ready, and I realized, "hey, what the heck? I'm a noobie!!" So off I go to venture into the wide world of internet space!! Woo hoo!

On a therap side note: went to church today...when did it become ok to visit and giggle WHILE the preacher is preaching?! I don't know about you, but my daddy would have had a few choice words to say to me if I ever did that!! I wanted to turn around and shoot some dirty looks, or back hand a few people!! And the sad thing is, these were adults! Come on!! Maybe I should start a new line of work. What do you think? Does church bouncer seem like a turn off?!?! LOL

An Oklahoma Hello!!!

For those of you familiar with the musical 'Oklahoma', I don't mean "hello" in that way!!
AH, therapy time.....
I have settled in my chair, sipped my iced tea, and am now prepared to let go!

I have always liked to think that I am a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda girl...Well, the last flight has landed me in a small town on the Oklahoma/Arkansas border. Last weekend, my trusty moving sister and I moved the last of my meager(ha!) life items and placed them in storage. Now in a couple of months, it will be like Christmas when I get to 'unwrap' all the goodies I will have forgotten about!! Hopefully there will be no snow when I do decide to get everything out! I either move in August or in January...extremes seems to be my thing!
Jeremy has started his new job and is now in Shreveport, LA on said job. I don't envy all the hard work he has to do, but how fun it would be to travel and get paid for it!!
I am staying with my grandma for awhile. My grandfather passed away not too long ago, and I would like to think I am helping by being here, at least helping to fill space. But how does one fill the space that was occupied by a soul mate? Of course the answer is, that one doesn't. So, I am just being myself, humor and all!
Hmm....I think I will sign off on this post for now. The previous paragraph has set alot of thoughts circulating in the brain. If I try to write any more, the jumble will not be recognized!! Until next time....
