Happy BIRTHDAY MONTH! How are you celebrating? I make sure to wish all of my co-workers "Happy July" or "Happy Birthday Month". At first they rolled their eyes, but now they're starting to grin and return the greeting. :D
I hope you'll return on my birthday, July 28th, and join the Birthday Blog Hop with a post filled with cake, candles, and fabulous birthday stories.
So on with my fragments....
*The big toe on both of my feet is peeling in the same exact spot. I can't figure out what set of shoes did this to me!
*ANTS! I had a problem with ants in my kitchen a few months ago, but I found where they were coming in at the corner of my kitchen window so, lacking caulk and the gumption to drive out and BUY any caulk, I just poured salt into the hole. It was awesome and totally stopped them in their tracks. Well the salt pile got wet and they eventually whittled through and have returned. I chiseled my salt pile out of the corner and poured in more. Again I think I stopped them. Yay me. Nothing like a 39¢ solution.
*New business update - STILL NOT OPEN. We're waiting for some back-ordered part to arrive. It is the last piece to fall into place before we get our final inspections. This is killing us. Very slowly. Seriously, we could use more than a few good thoughts tossed our way.
*My youngest plotted this summer so that he would basically spend every other week with his dad. Up front this sounded like a fairly decent arrangement. In reality, after three days I seriously miss him. Fortunately, the schedule has him here for a two week stint starting Monday.
*Lots of projects are brewing so I'm trying to savor the peace and quiet before everything starts boiling over.
I hope you join the Friday Fragment fun!
Here's your good thought sweetie. Sorry to hear about the business but it will be going soon, you'll see.
ReplyDeleteBut YAY for salt, no more Ants and your son coming back on Monday. :) SkippyMom
I hate ants .. the little boogers .. but I used something that seemed to totally work a the sills where they come in ... a drizzle of liquid dish detergent across the opening .. they can't cross it, and it's cheap too!

I have a few spiders that might be able to handle your ant problem. I'll be happy to send them your way. ~shivers~ I think one ran off with my favorite shoes!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog... I am now following! Looking forward to reading more of your stuff.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

Salt on the windowsill, what a hoot. I'd totally be afraid that the salt would ruin the paint or the wood or the stain - but then again, I have enough caulk in my house to caulk all the windows in my condo community lol

You're funny (the salt). When we have ants, Mr.4444 sprays the perimeter of the house with ant killer, and that takes care of it. Good luck!! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how hard it must be to let your kid go so often; that's gotta be tough. I'm glad you're going to have him for a nice chunk.
Inspection day will be here before you know it!! Hang on to that excitement!
