OT - A day in the life...

Dick and and I made it one month yesterday!
On our smoke quit that is.

We finished getting our vegetable garden planted, did a little target
practice and got some sun on our shoulders.
It was a great day, and one definitely worth celebrating! Now we will have
veggies, a little tan on my shoulders and the sense of satisfaction that
only a job well done can give.

It doesn't look like much just yet, but you wait about 6 weeks, and it will
be BEEootiful!
Seeds gotta sprout after all!


I had one HUGE opportunity to freak out and want a cigarette, but it never
happened, the nicotine fit that is.

Toward the end of the afternoon we were getting ready to pack up our tools
when I heard a distressed little squeak from a bird and looked up and
spotted a snake, IN A TREE right at the edge of the woods off our back
porch.
I don't much like snakes, ok, they freak me out. I pointed at it and in
typical hunting dog style told my hubby "HONEY LOOK!!! There's a snake up in
that tree!!!!" In the part of the US where I was raised, snakes stay on the
ground where they belong, they don't go slithering about in the freaking
trees! You're taught to listen for the rattles and look DOWN for them.

Did I mention that this snake was IN THE GODDAMN TREE!!!??

As usual, he couldn't see what I was pointing at. Somehow he NEVER sees what
I point at. Why is that? IT'S A BIG BLACK SNAKE IN A SAPLING FOR CHRISSAKE!!
http://www.kizthiz.com/snaketree.jpg
Since all we had outside with us was the .22, he shrugged and told me to go
get the shotgun, and I ran my fat ass into the house, muddy boots and all
(aargh! light colored carpets!) and grabbed the shotgun. Then it occoured to
me.. HEY! You want the shotgun next time YOU step and fetch it! But I was so
wound up I forgot to tell him that part.

I pointed at it again, and he still couldn't see it, so I ask if he wanted
ME to shoot it. He shrugged and said "Sure, why not!"

Killing spiders, snakes and varmints have ALWAYS been men's work. It's part
of the "I jump on the chair and scream, you get the broom and kill the
mouse" routine. It has been that way for centuries! It's simply a given,
protect the woman at all costs or the woman dumps you for a man with balls.
He's not a coward, he just couldnt see the darn thing. He's killed lots of
attack spiders and stuff.

So, looking like a member of the SWAT team with this fancy schmancy tactical
shotgun (that I bought him for Christmas a few years ago) with one shot, I
dispatched the GIANT BLACK slithering menace.

Ok ok.. it was three feet long at best. But in that tree, it looked like a
monster!

Well, maybe not really, but MAN I HATE FRIGGING SNAKES!!!!!
I was all happy that I had killed it to death, and look Ma! I never did want
a cigarette!!

Ta Daaaaaa!

Kate,

Dang girl, why didn't you get closer for that Kodak moment with Mr. Snake?
LOL

By the way, a black snake eats other snakes, or so I've heard.

Poor snake! That thing was probably doing a good job of controlling the
varmint population at your house. Now you are going to have rats and
mice all over the place....LOL!!! Anyway, congratulations on not
smoking. I am so glad that its a habit I never picked up. I watched my
dad quit and he had a pretty tough time doing it.

Hey, I sold the lightning. Now I just own one piece of trash mustang.
As soon as I get that turd fixed I am getting rid of it. Not sure what
I am getting yet but i'm leaning towards a GMC pickup. Anyway, good
luck with the garden and not smoking and all.

You lil brat... c'mere so I can pull your ear!
Just curious, why would you sell the lightening, and keep the turdmobile?

I've been thinking of getting rid of mine too.
I have actually lost interest.

AND of all things, I have been thinking of a Chevy 4x4 shortbed pickemup. Or
maybe some other thing I can run around in with 4WD.
yea yea yea.. I know.. but I LOVED my chebby trucks. These Fords are nickle
and dime-ing me to death.

It prolly wont happen for a long while though, I am still upside down on
this car.

Be good!

It depends on what kind of black snake it is. In truth though, lots of
snakes eat other snakes. Of course, the king of snakes is the King
snake. King snakes can be solid black, but they usually have spots or
bands on them. Many snakes are black though, some water snakes, and
some are land snakes. If you see a king snake though, I really wouldn't
kill it. In fact, most snakes are harmless and do a pretty decent job
of keeping insects/varmints away.

Nice one Kate. Congats on staying smoke free you've got it beat don't let
up.

The reason I sold my truck is because I lost time and interest. It was
being neglected, and you can't do that to a vehicle thats 11 years old
and has 169,000 miles on it. The guy I sold it to will take much better
care of it than I ever did, so I am happy it has a good home. As soon
as I fix the turdmobile I think I will count my losses(or maybe not
count them) and trade it in on a GMC Z71. Thats what my dad has and I
absolutely love it, I should have gotten that instead of the poostang
anyway.

You're like my wife. She wants to kill anything she doesn't like. I
just hope she never puts ME on her **** list.
