"D" is for Delicious!

For those of you wondering, or caring, Dave and I are still doing fantastic. We have settled into our relationship for the most part and he's been a huge help to me around the house and yard. I really appreciate and understand now what it's like to have a true PARTNER. I don't think I've ever had that before, nope, I know I haven't. I love it. I love him.

So last night Dave made me dinner for the first time. While a lot of you might find it odd that it took almost 7 months to do it, it's really not, considering...he doesn't know how to cook. Like at all. Like cooking to him is reading directions, putting "vent" holes in plastic and pushing buttons on the microwave. So this was a big deal!

Well, I'm writing this, so you know I didn't die, nor did I get food poisoning. Not that I was worried, I was just sitting on the couch while he cooked, so if I heard anything odd, I woulda checked in. He did really well, other than a couple of questions, he did it all himself. It was really, really good too! What was it he made you ask? Chicken & Bacon Pesto w/Fettuccine..yeah, pretty nice eh? It was fucking awesome. I mean come on folks, you can never screw up a recipe that has BACON in it, right? God I love pork.

So on the boyfriend scale-o-meter, I'd say he's definitely won the prize. I have NEVER had a boyfriend as good as Dave. He is a wonderful man, I'm very fortunate to have met him.

Life is good...

Is That What I Think It Is???

I am seriously starting to get freaked out by the multitude of wildlife, insects and various other creepy crawlies that live in my neighborhood and inhabit my home. Mostly all outdoor, which is great, but shit, it's a long list!

Web worms - talked about those suckers back in June...they're baaaaackkkk!!!!
Black Caterpillars
Water Bugs - yes, we know they are giant man-eating roaches, but we like to make them sound "sweeter" somehow, in the south
Snakes - only ever saw little baby one's
June Bugs - stupidest bugs in the universe
Spiders - I've got my own little Charlotte near the shed, been there for about 4 months
Mosquito's - swear to god my yard was "the place to be" this summer
Roley Poly's - everywhere
Mothra's - all different shapes and sizes
Lizards - they hang out on the wall next to the back porch, Georgie eats their young
Birds taking refuge in my roof, there's a small hole where a pipe goes somewhere and birds nested in there

...the latest thing that Dave discovered tonight is...well, let's just say it's a rather large rodent. Let's just say Shawna already left a message on my exterminators phone at 6:45 pm tonight. Shit, they are ExtermiGAYtors, hope they'll get the damned thing tomorrow.

Georgie's Wrath

I have not posted about Georgie my awesome dog lately, so let's take some time to reflect on my little bundle of destruction. She killed a pigeon about a week or so ago, that was really gross. I had to give her a bath immediately after I got the bird out of her death jaw grip cuz I was totally freaked about some filthy bird flu type disease. No, I did not touch the bird, I got her to drop it and used a shovel to pick the filthy wretched little fowl up with. (I hate birds)

Today, Dave bought her yet another toy to destroy. I forgot to snap a pic when it was brand new, but you'll get the idea. No toy can withstand her power...

This is how it looks after about 10 minutes of play time.

What you couldn't see in the last pic, also around 10 minutes in.

Why bother? Wait til it's destroyed fully before picking up "toybits".

Oh why do people think she is not a threat? She will tear some shit UP! That's my G.

Fingerlicious

Do you people know about an amazing magazine called Fingerhut? It comes personalized with your name, boasting pre-approved credit. It's the most intriguing magazine I have ever come across. It's been around forever, and somehow they magically find you again, even if you've moved 47 times in the last 2 years. Not that I have, but you see what I'm getting at. It's kinda "stalkery"if you ask me. Anyway, I know what's in store, an amazing journey through the most random things on this planet.

Here are some of the things you can get in the Fingerhut catalog:

Electronics - camera's, TV's, DVD players, you get the idea
