Is it the weekend yet?

*glances down at previous entry* Um . . . yeah. Happy belated St. Patrick's Day, everybody.

You know it's Monday when you wake up, your foot hurts, and you find out the problem is a splinter that will. not. come. out. Rrrr. I will take this as an excuse to sit around all day. ;-)

On the good-news side, the former rental house is cleaned up now, and listed with a realtor. Fingers crossed that it sells quickly; it'll be nice to have it out of our hair.

Saw a black widow spider yesterday (not inside, thank goodness). I knew they lived in the area but I hadn't seen one up close in years-- Ashley tried to get a picture of it with her cell phone before it got squished. They're really pretty, in a scary way.

The last time I saw them was in Denver. I was pretty young, visiting my cousins, and we were playing in the backyard. Their basement windows had decorative-rock lined pits underneath them that were the perfect size for us to use as foxholes. My cousin and I leapt down into one and looked around-- black widows all over the place.

It was one of those moments where my brain was split between, "This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen" and "Help."
