The Rat Who Hates Me
So we have a family of rats living under our portch and they taunt us all the time. They come out in the middle of the day while I'm working and stare at me through the window. They are not afraid of us at all!
We put out some bait when we first moved in May, but they never even touched it.
Haley took Lesley to a specialty store and got some powerful poison that comes in green bars.
We (meaning Lesley) have been putting out tons of rat poison and the rats are taking it (yay!!!). Well for the last few weeks, the rats have not been taking the poison so we foolishly thought they were gone, but when we got home from Vegas, the bars were gone so we put more out. Haley quickly reminded us of when we had gerbils as kids, they had 12 babies like every 2 weeks.
Well the bars were gone on Monday and then yesterday we put bars out before WW, when we got home it was gone so we put more out, then after our errands they were gone again, so we did more. I think it came out to a total of 3 or 4 bars in a 24 hour period. Let's all hope they shared it and they will all checkout of Hotel Under Our Portch!

Ode to Google Reader
Oh beloved Google Reader, how much I do love thee.
Thou hast made it possible for me to keep up-to-date on all my dear friend's blogs as I have been in the deserted wasteland of sociality on a self-induced exile from blogger.
Thou hast allowed me to read all of the latest posts and not just on my computer but on my phone as well.
Me thinks thou art a gift from above.
Even though thou dost make it nigh impossible to leave comments, I still turn to thee daily as a refreshing break from the dungeonous torture that has been "my thesis".
I am forever in your debt-

Severing the Past
After over 9 years with simple trims, I have made a huge step and cut my hair.

AHHHHH! It's so short, but I think I'm finally getting the hang of styling it :)
