It's Monday - Let's Do This

David is home today. He took a birthday - day off. They can do that where he works. Lucky blankety* blank* blank* blank*! Anywho, he WAS watching Jerry Springer (morning edition) and IS NOW watching some sad excuse for a scary movie onTV. It's the type of movie a guy would take his girlfriend to on a Saturday night for a makeout session. Yeah, it's not even close to being rated as interesting or good. It's that kind of bad movie. This kind of shit will be happening all day here so I'll be hiding out doing house work and such.

Over the weekend, David and I went to dinner with his daughter up in San Marcos at Saltgrass. We had a great birthday dinner. Then Sunday morning we went to IHop for breakfast. I  made his favorite meatloaf for dinner and then we settled back to watch The Walking Dead premier.

Pebbles is doing much better. She is sleeping right now. She seems to be back to her old funny self,  playing with Lucy and teasing Spunky. I'm so relieved that things are okay with her again. I was so worried about that little girl.

Seed porn from the Petunia Garden

Oh! I got some seed porn in the mail Friday afternoon. Yes! I'm so excited. These are the petunia seeds I was looking around on the web for so long. I'm going to plant them this winter under the planting lights and then repot them into hanging baskets for the front porch in the spring. I got them from Etsy, a little shop called The Petunia Garden.  You can see some of these seeds are featured on the page when you go there.
African Sunset - Celebrity Blue Ice - Blue Daddy - Baddy Mix - Celebrity Ice - Cascade Orchid Mist and  Limbo Red Veined. Each one of these tiny plastic bags in the picture contains teeny tiny seeds. You petunia lovers need to go check out this place. I love that site and I want to go back and order a lot more from the owner. She has beautiful flowers and there are also herbs and veggie seeds.

Well, I have to go do one last load of laundry. Chao

All Kinds Of Good Going On Here

Yesterday I was searching the web for my favorite petunia seeds for spring planting. I found them! SQUEEEEEE!!! Oh Yessiree!  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the beloved flowers. I have been hunting these for nearly a year now. For those of you that dearly love petunias, here is the Etsy shop address:

This shop has the Daddy mix, the Celebrity Ice mix, the African Orange, the Orchid Cascade. etc. I'm in 7th heaven! I know some of you are going to want to see this for your own eyes. So GO!! See!! I'll wait.

Over the weekend, David and I binge watched The Strain in order to catch up to this season. Which started in July and, of course, we neglected to check until it was too late. We then binge watched Z-Nation because it's been so fucking long since it was last on that we completely forgot what happened in the last season. Z-Nation starts up again this Friday with their new season.

So after two whole days of being glued to the TV watching wormy vampires and campy zombies, we celebrated our thirteenth wedding anniversary with David doing yard work and me doing housework. It was a pretty quiet Monday except for the big ass present David got me. Yes, he went and did it, even after I asked him not to the night before.

David went and got me a Keurig2.0 K450. *sigh* I told him to take it back because I had a perfectly good coffee maker still in use, which he refused. But hey, who am I kidding. This big bitch does everything you could ask for except cook, clean, and sex. It also comes with a four-cup carafe so I can bring it to my desk in the TV room and surf the web all day long. *wink wink*. I have given up my old coffee maker for this cool electronic "coffee bitch". Yeah, that's what I call her.

GOW under the eave of David's tool shed.
She's about 4 inches from back legs to front legs

All round we had a splendid weekend. I am still trying to get to everyone's blogs and read up on all your news so please bear with me if I'm late doing so. I mentioned the Golden Orb Weaver spider in our backyard that is living under the eave of David's tool shed. Well, she has a sister living in the courtyard just before you walk through the gate to the carport. They both have egg sacks under the eaves now.

This is the other GOW near the carport.
About the same size. She loves to eat wasps

I was looking up some information on this spider. They live for about a year. In the late summer, end of August to the beginning of September, they mate (the male is a tiny little fucker) and set up their egg sack in a protective area. They will soon die afterwards, both of the girls are still kickin right now.

Egg sack of GOW near carport it's about an inch in radius. 

Anywho, The eggs sit there until spring when it's just right for them to hatch. You can handle them (fuck no, not me) as the venom is very minute, and the fangs are also quite small, so there is little chance of being bitten. Cool huh?
