That would be our heads. Mark's and mine. Exploding.
Ka-Blam.
Did you hear it?
Poor Mark.
He has been working tirelessly on trying to get his "new" work car to work. Run, that is. Well, run legally.
We were recently blessed -and I do mean that- with a stellar deal on a replacement car for Mark's work vehicle. And we're grateful. Really, we are. It's just that some blessings you have to work harder on than others. This would be one of them. And some cars are made more logically than others. This would not one of them... blast.
Poor me.
I've battled ants all year. Stupid, stupid ants. I would have thought with the weather turning colder we wouldn't see them at least for a while. I would have thought.
A while ago Mark got out my 72-hr kit so he could use the pack for a scout camp-out. I guess you could say the blessing in disguise here is that we found the ants now instead of during a disaster. But I don't know. I might not have minded them so much in a dire situation. As it is, I am blowing fire out my ears that by transferring the food back into our pantry (you know, to rotate out and all), I unwittingly introduced a new colony to our food supply... Aargh!
Poor possum.
Perhaps he got the worst deal in all of this. After all, his head actually did explode. Sorta. Well, enough. See, Mark has found a great new way of managing stress and ridding our yard of vermin all in one.
Gotta love that crossbow!

Why do I like seeing that I'm not the only one having to deal with dead animals? I'm sorry about the ants. I loathe them for you. You will conquer them though. I know you will.
That is Disgusting.
Wow. I don't know what else to say.
Every spring the ants come out here too. I use Hot Shot on them. The kind that says up to 9 month control. I have to use it about 6-8 times. I spray all over the doorways and window frames to prevent them from coming in, kind of like a bug man would. I spray it in the cupboards or on paper towels and smear it all over the cupboard shelves. No ants for a couple of days. Then they're back. Just a few, trying a new route to the marshmallows. Then I respray, trying to get every inch of space in the cupboard. It's usually just the baking cupboard that has this problem. Finally after about 6-8 times of doing this, they are gone for good. I won't see another ant all summer or fall until the next spring. I love that stuff. Only $3.97 at Lowes or Target. Good luck! I hope you get rid of them. I do hate them too.
Nice!
