Mother Goose and Charlotte's Web...

Happy Friday, friends!

It is, in fact, here! And Saturday and Sunday promise pretty weather, Tiger Football, and birthday parties. So *cheers* to the weekend.

I'm feeling some better... morning and mid-day seem to be easing up a tiny bit, leaving my afternoon and nights the worst part of my day. Good news? The Hotness is home from work by then, so if I need to hide behind a rock... or in the bed, for that matter, I can. *Which leads me to make this point. Marcus is the yin to my yang, the sweet in my tea, the cream cheese to my salsa, the purple to my gold, the cranberries to my turkey, the Simon to my Garfunkel, the mango to my chutney--- and so on. Honestly, he's picked up so much slack around here lately. Cooks, cleans, raises the young son... and never grumbles when I ask for more ice water (which needs refilling on the quarter hour). I can't imagine someone more generous than this guy... He's just what I need.

Yesterday the green waves broke for a few hours mid-day, without thinking twice, I grabbed my bebe.boy and headed off to the LSU lakes for a picnic lunch and to feed the ducks. The weather is too pretty to stay in yet another day- so I grabbed my puke bag for the road, my saltine crackers and ice water and we headed out.

On our way to the car, we encountered this beautiful creature.

Spectacular isn't she? She's an immature Black Widow Spider. Totally freaked us out! She had spun her haphazard web on James' tricycle over night. I walked through the edge of her web before really seeing her. But all is well. Generally speaking, I wouldn't have hurt her- bc she had no real intentions of hurting me... I'm not a preemptive.strike kinda chic- however, the fact that she made her death web on Beaux Jack's tricycle, and the thought that she could have bitten my little duckling, made me go ahead and take her out.

So, that's that. Where there is one, there will be more- so I suppose I need to de-clutter the garage from the extra moving stuff, and spray for spiders. I dread it- cause there are more good spiders out there than bad... but I've got to keep James' toys killer.spider free.

So, after the execution, we headed out to Cane's to grab us some chicken.finger goodness for the lakes. I needed this outing so bad... well, we both did. James' is suffering from my recent state, too. He's lonely, less stimulated, and has been left to his own devises as of late--- so this was a perfect time for us to reconnect and fall back in love. And fall, we did. It was splendid. Here are a few pics of out little outing...








That's all for now! Oh, totally stoked about tonight's debate. Can't flipping wait, actually. So, set your tivos and DVRs if you plan on missing it.

Oh, what did yall think about Earl, The Office, and Grey's premiers last night??? I'm curious to hear what you thought. Maybe that can be another post. Oh, and have you caught any of the new shows??? Tell me if you found something you are excited about. I totally dig the Worst Week show... and The Mentalist. Can't wait for Pushing Daisies again... and am still mourning that Cane won't be back this season. Who's gonna fill my Jimmy Smits size whole in my heart??? Who! oh, wait! Maybe
Yang's thigh.staplin.journeyman.army.dude.red.headed.hunka.hunka.burnin love last night on Greys!!! Holy cow. Oh, how Grey's needs him... ;)

So, Peace my brothas and sistas!
xo.
