There's fly paper, it's very cheap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't worry, you'll be getting yucky rain real soon now.

SUPPOSABLY. I thought it was coming yesterday!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have to go to Lowes to get a new handle for the toilet anyway so I can pick some up there. But it means getting up and going outside again.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cash, have you tried apple cider vinegar? Key is to build a trap with a small opening so they can get in but not out. You can take a small soda bottle, cut off the top third and flip it to make a funnel, tape it back in, dump a little vinegar and there ya go. I use the corner of an envelope to make the funnel opening even smaller.

I need to give mint.com a try. Looks better than the iphone app I'm currently using, and budgeting is going to get really important really fast.

This weekend: Maybe working a few hours tomorrow (don't wanna), reading carpentry books, decluttering, cleaning off DVR, etc. OH! A friend from HS is showing a movie here she wrote and directed, I might try and go see that.

Because books.

There's another trick, Cash -- you can put cider vinegar in a jar, cover it with plastic wrap, and poke a couple holes in the top.

Cash,

Did you try my wine bottle method? Pix "Coffee On My Monitor Again" Aug 31, 2010 11:24:36 pm PDT

I like Pix's plan because there is wine for me in it!

What are people doing this weekend?

Last night's flying lesson was canceled due to weather, so I may have a rescheduled lesson tonight. Tomorrow I'll be meeting up with some people for a wine tasting. Sunday, who knows. Maybe some cooking and/or cleaning. I like cooking so much more when it's cool out.

Our weekend starts with soccer games. Em has one at 8:00am in a nearby town (have to get up early on a Saturday morning, waaaah!) and Leif has one at 9:00am. We'll have to split forces to manage it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I would love to wear a sweater -- it is so warm and muggy here still. YUK.

I was chilly this morning. What's up, LA? Though, to be frank, I've loved the weather this week, and have worn velvet twice. So there's that.

I think I will be reading a lot this weekend, since I'm still in liminal first love with the Nook. God, I adore that thing. It's a miracle I'm not licking it. I've already finished one book. I haven't actually finished a book in forever. I have so many started.

Since I have nothing specific scheduled, I hope to get off my ass and complete two tasks: new batteries for both my watches, and three skirts in to get altered.

Today's tokenistic dressing involves cowboy boots again, garnet ring (finger still big, WTF?), and a blouse my mother bought me in India. It's a bit intensely yellow, but it was bought with love, so I wear it in that sentiment.
