Another Uninvited House Guest

posted in: Uncategorized 3


This morning, I was rushing around trying to get Pip and I ready to leave the house when she came to me in my bedroom. “Mom, come on. There’s a pieda in the living room.” I didn’t understand, but she kept insisting I follow her. Good thing too, because right in the corner of my living room, beside the desk where Pip always plays was this lady. Why do black widows love us so much? Usually they are in the garage but this time she was way too close for comfort. I got her out of the house on the tip of a tennis racket. It was actually a fairly big one, about 1 1/2 inches in length. 

We leave for Vancouver early tomorrow. I have been busy getting us all ready. Bought the girls these great “gummy” style fish oil vitamins. We don’t each sea food as I am allergic. I was thrilled to find them in such a tasty form.
May I recommend “Once”–an Irish movie. It may be British but filmed in Ireland–can’t remember. Anyway, it is a love story of the finest. 
Last night I did my Sunday evening Yoga routine and nearly threw-up afterward. All that scrunching of the stomach–remind me not to eat supper next Sunday.
Downloaded the best vintage children’s songs. Pip and I love to belt them out. I especially like “I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts.”

    “I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts” was popular whenI was a little girl!

    What a great tune.
    In Vancouver at the Fairmont. Love being down town. The sun is shining, the hustle and the bustle and Starbucks Oatmeal with nuts for breakfast.

    ah, black widows. I remember them from my stint in San Diego.They would typically hang out by our patio door. A was always worried when putting on footwear.
    Hope you’re having a good time in V.
