Snapple fact, then onto my adventurous day.
Fact #746 "The only insect that can turn its head is a praying mantis."
I hypothesize this is so the female can turn away while she eats her mate. But they are totally the only insect that is a ninja. According to one of my friends, and I think I have to agree. I'm really not a fan of insects though. Especially crickets. Crickets should all be killed. And not just stomped, but like tortured then killed. My parents house has a problem with crickets in really hot summers (they have an older home with a basement that crickets love to live in). Specifically in the bathroom. I would see a cricket AFTER going in to use the bathroom, so I couldn't just jump up and run away. I would proceed to make a deal with said cricket that he would leave me alone and I wouldn't have him killed (my dad was the executor. I couldn't kill them. They might jump after me and chase me down the road.)until I was done going to the bathroom. If they refused to comply, I would cover them with a rug or magazine or towel or something else. Out of sight, out of mind.
So, today I decided to go to Walmart after work. Thinking that it's Friday night, with the tournament on, so there won't be many people shopping. I was completely wrong. Right before I walk out the door, my hubby decides I should get curtains and curtain rods for the whole house. We have blinds right now but they are slowly all breaking. So we quickly measure all the windows in the house and I leave with my shopping list.
I'm very indecisive, so picking out curtains for six different sets of windows is not easy. It took me almost an hour. That's a long time to look at curtains. And curtains get expensive, quickly. Especially curtains and rods for six sets of windows, definitely with two sets that are over 70 inches wide. Then the window curtains aren't exactly clear on how many you need for bigger windows. I was looking at 2 panel sets. And they said that a 70"+ window would need 4-5 panels. Does that need 2 2-panel sets or 4 2-panel sets?!? I mean, I have a math minor in college and can't figure this crap out!
By the end of my trip, I spent my entire paycheck on groceries and curtains. Hubby wasn't thrilled by this. Not in the least bit.
I'm going to include (or at least try to) pictures of my kitties that I referenced in an early blog. Since I'm at home, I'm on my laptop now, with some of my pictures available. A lot better then writing this at work, minimizing the window every few minutes because someone comes in, calls, or my boss walks by. But Alice is draped across my arms/hands/lap/laptop, which does complicate things.
That's my Nala bell.
That's Alice Mary.
That's evil Alice Mary. I think she is saying something along the lines of "touch my penguins, snowman, or santa and I will kill our whole family! And get that thermometer away from there!!!"
That Alice praying because she wanted something and I wouldn't give it to her or wouldn't let her do something. This happens at least three times a day.
And that's my Bubbie.
That's all the pictures for today. But don't worry, I have plenty of other cute pictures. You'll get more the next time I blog from home. Have a good night. Beware of ninjas. And crickets. And zombies. And ninja cricket zombies. Nevermind. If there's ninja cricket zombies we're all screwed.
