Arachnids and Me

I live in the high-desert mountains of Wyoming.  This means I have plenty of uninvited guests sneak into my home because my home is built right on top of theirs.  Spiders are frequent intruders and I am constantly killing reminding them to stay out.

The other day I found a web connected to the toilet.  Okay, no way am I going to let a cobweb be connected to something I use at my most vulnerable moments.  Or to sensitive areas that I really don’t want to get bit.  I got rid of it immediately.

One morning I woke up and went to do my normal morning routine.  As I stumbled out of my bedroom I walked through a silvery, kind of sticky substance.  One industrious spider had spent the night spinning a web in my doorway.

March 24, 2012 I reached my all-time high visits to my website.  Which is cool.  It really is. 

The only trouble is it’s a number that ends in 9.  Nine?  Really? Not that I’m not appreciative of the views, because I am, it’s just if it’s going to be my all-time highest viewed day, I wish I would have gotten just one more to make it a lovely, whole number.  Ah, then I wouldn’t mind seeing that number every day telling me – this is as good as it’s going to get. 

Every day I watch my stats and hope for that number + one just so that my all-time highest achievable number looks…pretty.

(sigh) I’m not crazy.  I’m sure a lot of you would agree with me on this, right?  I hope none of the nines are offended.  You’re just not that cool.  Okay, maybe I’m a little crazy.

Thanks to the latest channel realigning, my tv now gets a station called HUB.  It appears to be another rerunistic network offering “classics” like the Wonder Years and Sliders.  Yep, you read that right, Sliders.  Don’t remember that one?  A little IMDb digging reminded me it had Jerry O’Connell in it (Rebecca Romijn’s hubby after John).  You do remember it?  Put the remote down and get off the couch once in awhile.

Siri’s distant cousin she doesn’t like to talk about

I’ve had my iPhone for awhile now.  I knew when I purchased it that it was a little too much phone for me.  But I decided to splurge so that I wouldn’t have to buy another phone for a few years.  That’s how I roll.

I showed it off to a friend shortly after I received it.  At this moment, I can’t remember which friend I had the following conversation with.
