see this thing...
it's a hornworm

I'm pretty sure that
the scientific name is
"nasty fucking creature"

And they are eating my
tomato plants

I hate them

Did I mention
they're huge? HUGE!
At least 3 times per week
I wake up out of a sound sleep thinking that something is
crawling on me.

I keep one of those tap lights on my night stand so I can turn
the light on instantly

I’ll be half asleep and I pull all the covers off the bed
in search of what I “think” is crawling on me
Sometimes I get out of bed turn the over head light on,
pull all the pillows off, shine a flashlight on the floor...

My husband is so use to it.
He just says - there’s nothing there, go to sleep!
then he rolls over while I search the bed
for spiders with my heart pounding out of my chest.
Eventually I snap out of it and realize it was a dream.

In actuality it’s just the ceiling fan
blowing a piece
of my hair across my face...

unfortunately in sleep mode my brain turns it into panic

So last night around 11:00 I wake up .. Knowing For sure that
THIS TIME a spider is on me for REAL
I turn the light on, Fling off all the blankets

THEN proceed to violently hit the bed with my fist
trying to kill what ever I thought was on me
right in between my pillow and my husbands pillow

My husband sat up stunned (usually I don’t punch the bed violently)
Asking WHAT? WHAT ? WHAT ? What’s wrong...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING??
There’s nothing there! Go to sleep. Then he pulled the covers back

I told him that THIS TIME it's REAL!
I swear something was on me. I know something was on me!

He ignored me and went back to sleep
(I know, I couldn't believe it either)

I did this 2 more times during the night the third time I realized
okay maybe nothing is there..

I feel bad that I torture my husband like this.
It must be extremely unpleasant to be woken up in this fashion...

I'm mental - what can I say?


But I do recommend the tap light
it's very handy

sunday

We went to a car show today
Wait...Let me re-phrase that
Friends of ours demanded we attend
a car show with them.

It was at least 180 degrees out...
I nearly died from heat stroke

There's nothing better than walking around
in the blistering sun with sweat dripping down
your face looking at cars that you will never own or
cars you would like to own but can't afford.
Nothing spells fun like a summer car show

Here are some pics
Don't bother asking me questions like
What year is that car?

How the hell would I know.

most of the people there
looked like this guy...

And that's my weekend... it was hot
NBC's "The Office"
is adding some new drones!

SEA-MONKEYS on the BIG SCREEN
Animated film and possible franchise from the infamous
children's toy line "The Amazing Live Sea-Monkeys,"

according to comingsoon.net

All I know is...
It will not be as good as the South Park Episode
"The Simpsons Already Did It"
watch a clip

I never had sea-monkeys.
but I remember staring at ads like this
in comic books when I was a kid
Wondering... what the Hell is this???

work sucks

This morning I was so comfortable
You know when you're in that 1/2 awake, 1/2 asleep zone
and your lying in bed all cozy...

The A/C was on
the overhead fan was creating this nice
breeze across my face
my pillow was at peak softness

Then my alarm clock went off

I woke up to Nick Lachey...
If I had a sledge hammer next to me this morning
that clock would have
been in a million fucking pieces

I could have slept for days.

God I hate going to work, it wrecks everything.

I have suffered

That's It...
I can't take it anymore
I have suffered long enough
tonight is the night

I'm getting DVR

- Pause and rewind live TV! -
How have I lived with out this?

another
jackass movie...
I think one was enough
but here's the trailer

All I wanted was a bagel

Another
Tim Hortons
Story
But don’t worry it’s not about
my bagel or coffee this time
it's about a conversation that
took place in line


I’m standing in line waiting for my bagel
and this is the conversation I witnessed...

Cashier: Talking to another Tim Hortons employee says:
Well that’s what Alyssa told me, I couldn't believe it!!

Man in Line: (Really Loud) And You know how Alyssa can be!
And I don’t even know Alyssa HAHahaha hah hahaa

(I guess he was trying to be funny but it didn’t work out for him)

Cashier: (all serious, looks at man in line and says) "Alyssa is a girl that works
here and she was telling me how she was named after Alyssa Milano on
"Who’s the Boss". I thought it was ironic because I too named my daughter
after Alyssa Milano on Who’s the Boss, it was such a great show."

Man in line: Awkward silence - followed by a blank stare

I just stood there Horrified & thinking to myself...
WHO THE HELL would openly admit they named their kid after
Alyssa Milano from Who’s the Boss???? For christ sake just
say you like the name "Alyssa".. you don’t have to be that specific.

Not to mention - what are he odds of TWO PEOPLE being named
after the girl from that shitty tv show that was on in 1984?
- I had to get out of there.

She was so proud of it, she had this huge smile on her face.

I was embarrassed for her.


I got my bagel and left..

had a cameo in the movie & called him a dumb ass


Spider-Man creator Stan Lee had this to say about
the upcoming movie...

"I have a cameo in it, and I think it's my best cameo,"
said the 83-year-old Marvel Comics master.
"That's probably the high point of the movie. After that,
you know, it's all a letdown."

Hahaha!

Just Another Travis Post
Because he's a cat genius.

I did it

OKay, I Did it. I took advice from
Tim, Ann, & Kim

they all said...
"Why Don't You Just Make Your Own Iced Coffee?"

Tim read my post last week about
my morning coffee sucking.

When he got home from work Friday
he brewed 2 pots of coffee and put it in the fridge.

I was hesitant.

He was drinking a huge cup of it...
& asked me if I wanted a taste.

I guess I'll try it.


3 cups later... wired & jittery
I decided that this was a fine idea!!
& I shall make my own iced coffee
from this day forward!


**Tim even said he'd make it for me all the time**
(because I'm too lazy to do it myself - he's the greatest & I love him so)

No more getting fucked up orders
I tell myself - Make it light with 2 sugars
and BAM! Light with 2 sugars it is!!

Add some
crushed ice in my favorite Boston Red Sox cup
and I'm ready to go!

Life is good.


But they're still going to screw up my bagel
- And don't say bring my own bagel,
because that's just crazy talk.
