i’d still take the pink kharmann ghia in a second
1 - I have had to wear my sunglasses two days in a row now. This makes me feel…well, sunny.
2 - Lindsey watched The Breakfast Club AND Pretty In Pink with me last night. Both of them withstood the test of time and are just really great movies, I’m happy to say. I was afraid they would seem silly, but they totally weren’t, 80s hair/clothes notwithstanding. I wanted to be Molly Ringwald so bad when I was a teenager, lipstick trick and all. A small bit of trivia: I bought the Pretty In Pink soundtrack when it came out, on cassette. When that wore out, I bought it on CD, and now, I have the whole thing on my iPod. That’s probably not trivia OR exciting, I bet.
3 - We had emergency situation the other night, when the girls and I found ourselves huddled in a semi-circle staring at the spider in the corner of the kitchen. After much discussion that didn’t really include anything about actual spider removal, we gave it a very wide berth and went to bed. The next morning I came downstairs, where I discovered it had caught an even larger spider and was chowing away. This was good and bad, because while it had caught another, BIGGER spider, it was still THERE, right by the cabinet that holds the plates. I’m not touching it. It can wait until John comes home. You think I’m kidding, right?
4 - I’m really just writing this so my pictures wouldn’t be RIGHT THERE anymore, not because I really had anything to say.
5 - Now I’m going to see Cloverfield with the girls.
Tschuss!!

Maybe you and the spider can come to a mutual understanding? He eats all of the rest of the bugs that come in the house and leaves you alone, in exchange you won’t have Orkin come gas his ass!

Chris - well…mmmm…the spider might actually be gone now. Courtesy of the cats. Being eaten is sort of a deal breaker, I think.
Angeeeellll - omg THANK YOU. I told the girls that we all knew every word, and could recite it on demand, and they didn’t believe me. Now I have proof!
IB - The thing is, I can’t even do that, the crushing or…anything like that. I just shut the door and hope the cats find them. And, see above comment to Chris, they did!

I knew you had a little Buddha in you - I can’t crush them either. Usually I just give the cats a little nudge in their direction and let nature take its course.
Love the Breakfast Club! I hope there is such a movie for my girls’ generation.

Kari - I wish I could say it was because of my compassion for all living creatures but it’s mostly because I can’t stand the feeling/sound of the squish. Ughhhh…
Jeff - Yes he was. A small part, but there, nonetheless.
