It's the last day of summer, and another chilly one at that. This time I got a fire going in the fireplace without smoke billowing throughout the house. Nice!
So far, I haven't been bothered by bats since opening up the fireplaces. Of course, with the cooler weather, they aren't as active. Come next Spring, I'll have to block the fireplaces off again. I hope...

Yeah! It's too early in the season to turn on the furnace, because the utility company charges an arm and a leg for natural gas. I like to keep my bedroom cool, but last night--Brrrr!!

My current boyfriend of 2 years does have a job mate, he's paid more per hour than I am, but unfortunately he has an ex wife and three little ones of his own so child support takes a huge chunk out of our monthly bill paying money ($675 to be exact) so we struggle quit a lot even though he and I make decent money. Kids complicate things a lot more than people think. He's been loyal and paying child support for over three years, wish I could say the same about my baby's father.
Last Monday it was a little chilly, so I decided to have a fire in the fireplace. Cough! Cough! Needless to say, I had more smoke in the house than up the chimney. Eventually I got the damper to open all the way, but the house still smells like a cabin in the far north woods. Not that that's all bad. It smells better than...

Today while I was walking my dog, Happy Scrappy, we were stalked by a pit bull, a BIG pit bull. Why some neighbors can't tie up their dogs blows my mind. The pit bull followed us for half a block while the owner feebly ran after him calling him back. Meanwhile, I was dragging my dog off by his leash as fast as...

Last night while sipping sake and watching anime on the old TV, I noticed a flicker of shadow on the wall and then the beast itself. It was a bat! How it got into the house I don't know because I'd blocked off the fireplaces, but there it was anyway!
I've had bats in the house before, and usually I use a...

I had a great weekend and finally learned why it's so hard for me to find a woman. We had a family reunion and celebrated my uncle's 80th birthday. All of us enjoyed ourselves and consumed great quantities of beer for three days. There were hundreds of us from all over the globe, and I met cousins I barely remembered because I'd gone off to...

Are inseparably bound
In a sip of beer.
We want truthbut get dead facts;
Seek love but find betrayal.

Hither and thither moves, and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the Closet lays.

Somedays I feel like I've lost control. How about you?

I'm with you on that...
Had a few of those recently hence the much needed time out.
Hey, thanks for checking out my Rejected Set... and thanks for the comment, I am glad you liked it. It's just so hard to please some people... better luck coming my way for the next attempt I hope. I'm sure you see it too, but sometimes the comparisons just don't seem to add up around here.
*sigh*
Nice story about the Gettysburg camping trip... sounds like the making of some lovely memories, and some humourous ones too.
So when is the trip to Brisneyland on the cards ?? Mayb you can help break the drought here too...
