the weekend

thank you everyone for your comments on the sweater. i have to say, i was pretty pleased with myself. and if anyone wants one, please let me know....i would be glad to do one for ANY of you that take your time reading this. it's very relaxing to me, and extremely cathartic knowing that someone, besides me, will actually wear something that i made, and it's super cheap to make. i will post the finished product. if it was for someone else, i found this fantastic button for the sweater. for the sweater i made the other day we found some cartoon-y frog heads for it...just because that is what the parents will like. but i found this adorable star...so cute. anyway, i digress.

this weekend was a whirlwind. my father in law was in town, we were preparing to send my husby off to the nether-regions of the world (casper, wy), and we were on a mission to show homes and find the perfect one for my cousins. it was fast and furious, and today, it's well...tired.

there were more than a few gross things that happened, and since i'm sure you are dying to know....

first off, we went to petsmart and got the toads some food. that, in and of itself is disgusting, but all in the name of toads. so, we were there hanging out and i get the little guy (butters) some little worms. it's all he can eat, since for some reason, he has some eye thing going on and cant eat crickets like all good toads should. anyway, i looked into this container marked "superworms" thinking i would find something similar to the dime sized worms that i usually see and instead see this

BUT HUGE. Like about 6 inches. i screamed and ran out like a banshee.

second story: we are at a showing in this house that we really so wanted to work because it was perfect from the outside. i mean, perfect... had all of the things you could ever want.

we trekk upstairs and notice, hmmm, maybe NOT what we want. it looks as if someone had taken 3 months worth of tabacco spit and then dumped it on the stairs. but, we are optimists, people. we go onward and upward. while my cousin is taking a look at the pee stained toilet seat in the bathroom, her boy and i are out in the bedroom, both at the same time, taking notice of a gold foil package on the window-sill. I almost thought to myself, "that looks like a condom....FOR A DONKEY or a soda can, one of the two, but no....that's not what that is, that would disgusting"

you can see the nicely printed "MAGNUM" on the wrapper. i love my job
