Weekend Fun
Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was a blast.
Started out Friday at the Cubs game. The good thing about that was the beautiful weather & hanging out with my Dad & brother Jeff, afternoon beers & hotdogs. The game was terrible, of course, and ended with just about the entire 40,000 fans booing. Now, I'm not one of those fans that taunts players from my team if they make a bad play, but I'll admit I felt like booing too. You can only take so much crap, you know?
Anyhow, the rest of the weekend was spent hanging out on the deck, grilling and hanging with some friends. The only thing that put a damper on the weekend was the discovery of these
a-holes hovering around. From my skilled research on the internet, I think we have bald-faced hornets, which are really a type of wasp, allegedly. They are huge, about the size of one of those big, fat, honeybees, at least 1-2 inches long and beefy looking. I'll try to get a picture later.
They didn't really attack us, but you could tell they had their eyes on us & were definitely trying to intimidate us. I'm not sure what to do. I'm afraid to bring baby out there & we are having a baby shower out there in 2 weeks. I think it may be time to call in the professionals. I've never dealt with exterminators, I wonder how much they cost?
Oh the joys of property ownership! I want to call the landlord!

Cool pictures. Boy those are some ugly fuckers. Exterminate them with extreme prejudice
Laura,
I'm sorry the Cubs suck so badly. {lying} Do you want to come over and go to a Sox game with me? No booing will be necessary, b/c they rock the house ;-)
I'd be freaked to bring little E outside with those gross THINGS too. Ick. For serious. Those pics are making me scratch.
Have you found a denim skirt yet? No pics of Shiloh Nouvel yet on my side -yours?
ps- At the 'Cock for head shrinking this am and no sign of your hubby. I think the guys were right when they said he doesn't work there ut just walks around running into people.
Love, Di
No joke- I was down there shopping with my friend last year & we ran into D. twice just walking around. He gets a paycheck from somewhere though...
We've been known to go to a Sox game now and again. And we don't boo either.
And no denim skirt yet. Boo!
