Spiders!

Bleh. This is what I have lots and lots of.

Luckily, they aren't really harmful, but they're fast, and do bite. Of course the worst thing is that theyare ugly and scary. Bleh bleh bleh.

I had someone out today to spray chemicals galore, at least in the house I'm not sleeping in. They got the wasps nests as well, so I can venture outside a little more bravely. The good news is that the little bugs that were so pervasive are not cockroaches; just harmless, tough little beetles. Still, I don't say this often, but yay for chemicals.

I went a little bit crazy at the yarn store the other other day. "All work and no yarn makes Beth..." except that I do have yarn. Lots of it. I have no excuse, but... I needed MATCHING yarn. For the first time in my life, I am working with mohair, and lime green mohair at that. That's about as un-me as you can get. But it's perfect, it goes so well with the Jo Sharp Tweed I was gifted with, and it's making the perfect... Well, I can't really say yet. But it's perfect.

I counted yesterday. I have seven WIP. Seven! Life was so much easier when I only had one pair of needles and had to finish that before I could start anything.

Ooo, the water guy is here, gotta go.

Y'know, you rock for not unnecessarily pluralizing WIP. For other reasons, too, of course :)

Have you read any of A Series of Unfortunate Events? Kids books, technically...they have to live in a shed and they devise these contraptions to deal with the crabs on the floor...shoes that make lots of noise to scare 'em off. Perhaps you could create something for the bugs. Hang in there.

C'mon spiders are GOOD buggies! Send them all packing to my angora bunny barn, they are great for eating up all those pesky flies! (But yes, should those buggies enter my HOUSE they are squished.. they know the rules..)
