No Worries, My Daddy Will Take Care of That!

This blog has NOTHING to do with being "wifey" material...well, maybe a little bit.

Do you know what this ugly specimen is?

No? Me neither. My guess? Evil cousin of the fuzzy, friendly caterpillars. The thing has like a million fangs, and bleeds brownness. Eek!

Ugh, the sight of it is making me squirm. How about I just killed two of these in my kitchen! My KITCHEN! I had just finished eating my late night dinner, didn't see the thing, and walked on it! *Thankfully, im a sock person!* 

I thought I had stepped on a piece of food or something, but I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw it was a creepy, slimey bug. My first impulse was to scream, "DADDY!!!!" lol...but it was nearly 1:00AM soo, I had to handle this. You would probably laugh if I told you all I did to dispose of the creature. It just wouldn't die! Even when I finally killed it, I did NOT want to pick it up with a paper towel or nothing. Oh no, I tried to scoop it up with some shoes, and when that didn't work, I just swept the sucker up. *evil laugh* 

After that I just flushed it down the toilet. Feeling good about myself and grossed out at the same time, I strolled back in the kitchen. And then all of a sudden, another one of those things had appeared! I was FREAKING out, shaking a little bit (lol), and getting itchy. I killed that one too, but I couldn't take it anymore.

I woke my dad up and told him the situation. He didn't seem to care that I was frantic over these evil worms taking over the kitchen. "Oh, I guess I'll have to just get something to spray in there," he said. What?!! That's it? lol...I thought he was gonna get up and check on it right then and there. Guess not. Sigh.

Now, I'm up blogging. I feel like cleaning. Like OCD type cleaning. I know what you're thinking...this will be GREAT for me---to clean in places that have been neglected from my touch for so long! Ughhh! I HATE bugs. I mean, all creatures are lovely (as long as the insects, reptiles, and amphibians stay out of my house and out of my yard).

Last year, there was a HUGE snake just chillin in front of the garage. You betcha I ran in the house and screamed, "DADDY!!!" I guess this is the point that would relate to PROJECT WIFEY==> You can't rely on Daddy to kill your bugs. lol...you better be knowledgeable about insect killing products to keep them out of your house! Although I don't want to learn how to do this, but maybe I should learn how to kill a snake...should the opportunity arise again. If my dad wasn't there that day, I don't know what I'd do. Ummm, call the police? lol

There are a lot of things that everyone should know how to do, especially girls. I know I rely on my dad for a lot of things dealing with my car. Lately, though he's been showing me how to check my oil and the tire pressure. I'd like to learn how to change a tire too, because I don't want to be that ditzy girl on the side of the road not knowing what's going on. 

I know they always say that girls shouldn't go to the auto shop without a male present, because the workers tend to take advantage of females and their lack of knowledge of cars. However, I'd like to be able to have an intelligent conversation with one of those mechanics and quickly call them out if I realized they were trying to get over on me. Girl power!!! :-)

Song for the Occasion: Beyonce--Run the World (Girls)...I didn't mean to like this new hit by Bey. I really didn't. lol...Haven't really been a fan of hers in AWHILE, but my ears think it's catchy. Plus, I like girl anthems for some reason. FYI: God runs the world, and He made girls pretty pretty darn awesome. It has been said that females are the weaker vessel, but we don't have to be weak and ditzy-minded. Get some know-how on some things, and DON'T be afraid to get your hands dirty.

Speaking of getting hands dirty, I forgot to tell you all how my veggie garden is doing. Stuff is sprouting up already!! I'm amazed. I just planted seeds less than 2 weeks ago! Wow! I just think the whole process of planting seeds and watching the harvest is just crazzzyyyy! (In a good way, of course!)   

My Week Recap...

Hello beautiful people!


I know, I know...I'm slacking! Blahhh lol...Side Note:  Where is my co-host Chelsea??? She hasn't written in ages...boooo! Oh well, the show must go on! :)


This week was the week of Mother's Day.  That day was pretty fun.  My family and I took my mom out to this new Italian restaurant in my town.  That was a different change of pace.  Usually if we want Italian, we hit up Olive Garden or something.  I can't remember the name of the place...I think it was the word "flavors" in Italian.  Anyway, it was definitely tasty and I enjoyed the family time.


Even though it was Mother's Day, I felt like I spent a huge chunk of time with my dad.  I will admit that I am a "daddy's girl."  I just love him!  


I guess for the past few years I have been meaning to plant a garden with my grandpa (dad's father), since he was a beast when it came to stuff like that.  He would plant cucumbers, tomatoes, salad, and even apples.  I was really looking forward to this Spring so he could show me the ropes to gardening.  Unfortunately, he passed away at the ripe age of 91 this past December. Even in his absence, I was determined to keep his legacy alive somehow.

In March, I bought a few seeds from Lowe's to start my garden off--cucumber, squash, corn.  This was a project my dad and I were going to work on.  We'd been putting it off quite a bit until Mother's Day afternoon.  Finally, though, I learned a few basics to gardening.  It was a very nice day outside, perfect weather!  I will post pictures up when stuff starts sprouting out the ground.  I'm excited!!  My dad is supposed to be planting some onions and tomatoes as well.  Have you ever tried fried green tomatoes?? Ummm, YUM!  They are so good!! My dad introduced me to these a few years ago.  If you add sugar, they are sooooo bum!!! Yummy!  I want some like...now! haha...and what about cucumbers soaked in vinegar?? Perfect summer snack!  I don't know how healthy that is, but I'm not one of those chicks counting their carbs.  I'm not stuffing my face with lard and grease either.  I believe in moderation. I am getting to the point where I want to eat healthier, but I'm not giving up my sugary cereals or my Sweet Frog/icecream addiction.  At least not yet. :)

Moving on......


Let's talk about DISTRACTIONS for a quick minute. Without going into great detail, just know that I was temporarily distracted sometime this week by a certain someone.  


It's CRAZYYY how distractions will just appear when you are on the right track to finally getting your stuff together.  That's what happened to me. I was at work one day this week, thinking of a storyline to write when I got home.  (I like writing fictional stories/poems, fyi. Maybe I'll give you all a sneak peak soon.)  But man, I was so focused and couldn't wait to get home and write out all my ideas.  I was gonna get me some Sweet Frog, relax, and write! write! write! However....


A certain person distracted me that day.  I'm sure that was not their intent, since I know they truly want the best for me (no matter what others may think).  But, they were being a distraction nonetheless. [And yea, enough on that situation, ahem...]


Distractions can come in many shapes, sizes, and forms.  People can be a distraction to your purpose and your goals, so watch the company that you keep.  Seriously, not everyone is FOR you.  There are people out there praying for your demise and failure.  


Note: When attacks/distractions are coming at you like nobody's business, it usually means that YOU are doing something right.  So, take joy in that. Keep on keeping on.
