If you see me with my head in the tub, I'm washing my hair not throwing up.

I don't know how great this picture is, but it was a last millisecond shot after (s)he jumped off of my hand.  I could swear it was paying me back kindly for saving it from the rain barrel by letting me take a picture of it (that picture isn't shown). 

 

My cucumbers are growing like crazy.  I haven't looked for actual cucumbers, which I probably should soon, but the plants are all stretched out making those other plants say, "Hey!  You're in my bubble!"  I doubt they really say that though.  I planted a cucumber, a dill plant, and some Zinnia's in a little corner of the onion patch and I'm beginning to think that was a mistake.  The Zinnia's get some nice shade though, haha!  Other than that, damn it's hot!  Just when I was enjoying gardening it had to get all sunny and smoldering.  Spiders are everywhere, I found a scorpion all up in my face (not really), I am still being attacked by ants, rolly pollies go to GP's to die, and mosquito's are a bitch.  Just sayin'.

 

Can I tell y'all a secret?  Probably not, but I'm going to anyways.  Maybe I've already said this before...but I'm not one who enjoys paying for parking.  The best way to get out of paying for parking, or at least paying for the whole 5 hours or whatever, is to flash all the cash and change at them that you "have".  I say "have" because this is a scam.  That's right, a scam.  This is how it works:  You know you're going into a parking garage, so before you leave to pay move all your big spankin' bills outta sight (for me this is easy because I hardly ever carry cash, therefore that's another good way to get out of paying for parking - flash a credit card) and if you know how much it's gonna cost, either man up and pay it all or Emily-it-up and pull out $1.29 for a $2-3 fee and have it in a spot that makes it look like you're digging around for all you got.  This is terrible...I understand.  But, come on!  I have a legit excuse that my Granny is in the hospital and I just got back from visiting her.  This isn't like my only male coworker that was given a ticket for speeding after using the excuse that his grandma was in the hospital, because I guarantee that the officer heard that fifty times that very day. 

 

If you must know, my cousin, Claire, said what I used for the title.  It was such an amazing thing that I've been waiting since March 19th to use it.  Impressive, I know.
