My decorating style is mid-century, basically.
I made banana pudding this morning, which was a hit at the block party. And could not have been easier, since I just used instant pudding mix. I made two boxes, which was more than enough, but I still don't think one would have been enough, so leftovers it is! I'm pretty sure pudding with additional blueberries will be tomorrow night's dinner.
Tonight, I wasn't sure if my mother was planning on our having dinner together or not, so mid-party, I went over to ask her if I could have a hot dog, to much amusement, given that most of the people requesting permission from their parents to eat something were under 7.
My style is 'pre-crisis hoarder'.
My style is "Hey, that looks nice, and it kind of matches color-wise," but that's about it.
Also, these days, "smell of dog poop", sigh.
IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?
Vampire bunnies take over the Haunted Mansion. With more books.
I'd say mine is arty eclectic w. cat hair.
Penguins, paper-clips, and sturdy second-hand furniture.
My style is "can it be washed if the cats throw up on it". I'm currently lusting after a beautiful blue and green silk throw for the living room, but it fails the style test. Alas.
My style is fairly minimalist with whatever style tends to go with Windsor chairs and the like.
In other news, does anyone have any advice regarding getting rid of yellowjacket nests? There are some that have set up shop in a hole in my lawn.

Two weird ones I'd heard recently:
1. Hang up a crumpled paper bag nearby. To a wasp, it looks much like another wasp's nest, and they don't like crowded living.
2. Apparently they dislike sliced cucumber, so scatter some of them around the lawn.
Or you could just pour soapy water into the nest at night when it's cooler. (Though I for one wouldn't try that without protective clothing.) Maybe safer would be to push an upside-down bowl into the ground, covering the hole, and leaving it there for two weeks. As long as you're sure you know where all the entrances are.
