Spiderwoman

I don't mind spiders.  As long as they

are not big, black or hairy.  Or in my

living space. The tree in my front yard

is considered my living space.  When I 

walked B'Elanna this morning I walked

right into a spider web from the tree to

the ground.  Not a big web, just strands, 

but that was more than enough.  I skirted 

around it on the way in and there was more

on the backside of the tree!  It seems the

entire tree is covered in a beginning web!  

I took the broom out and went around the

entire tree knocking out as much as I could

see, but if it reappears I will have to call

in backups.  I mean, how many spiders are 

in that tree and how big?  I know I have

American funnel spiders sometimes, but

I have only seen them on the bushes before

I cut them down and in the grass.  Do they

make webs in trees?  And it doesn't look like

the same type of web.  I feel very creepy 

crawly now.  I may end up jumping in the

shower.  Shiver.

Three more stitched cards.  I have no

clue what to do with them.  I just love making

them!  I know who I'm sending the birthday

card to.  It kind of looks like a guy card, so

I'm sending it to my grandson for his birthday

next month.  

It's really foggy out today.  I'm thinking  the

kids will have a two hour school delay. Then

they will have to make it up at the end of the year

and get one day (so far) less from their non

existent summer vacation.  I can't believe they

started on August 12th!  I don't remember when

they got out, but I'm sure it was the beginning

of June.  We used to get three whole months!

Tomorrow Cody is coming over for hot and

sour soup and to practice some signing with

me.  He said if I made the soup it would

"incentivize" him.  Did you know "incentivize"

is a word?  I didn't.  My computer didn't even

flag it just now!  It sounds like a made up word

that the dictionary people finally gave up and

added because people weren't going to quit 

using it!  Like "impactful"  What the heck?  Now

THAT word my computer flagged.  It is NOT

a word.  But people use it so it will no doubt

be added.  The word that drives me the

craziest, though, is "conversate"  You do NOT

"conversate".  You converse.  I swear.  People!

You need to learn your own language.  How

to use it and how to spell it!  Sorry if I offend

anyone, but I am the self appointed language police!

LOLOLOLOL!  YES!!!  I know LOL is not a word!

But it is an abbreviation and that doesn't count.

Since I am the language police I make the rules.
