I normally use the reusable bags when grocery shopping, and turn down plastic bags elsewhere, unless I really need one.
But I think I've gone too far, now. I use the plastic bags to line the bedroom garbage cans, since the kids insist on throwin...

Ants

Once or twice a year, every year, I get invaded. Ants. Maybe through the front door, or the back door, or through some other little hole.
But I get up, look down, and there they are. Those little black invaders. Normally enticed by the cat crunch...

My mailbox is located at the street curb. And every winter, the snowplows do it in to some extent. So this winter was no exception. That thing got heaved halfway out, and was listing at an ugly angle. I...

Hey, if my bod can be in a different time zone, why worry about a vacation blog that's running, oh, 14 days late? Not to mention that I'm home already.
