Fragmented Freewrite



Hi, my name is Dina and this is my first time with Fragmented Freewriting.
So. Here. I. Go.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it on my blog yet, but we had a reality show filmed here in our neighborhood.Yes. CBS was here for about a month causing all kinds of chaos and now you can see it on your very own TV.

It's called "There Goes the Neighborhood" and it premieres August 9th at 9PM. We are not in the show (that I know of!), but some good friends are and I sure hope they got the $250,000 prize! Also, it was sold to "us" as a family-friendly show, but with a 9PM time-slot, I have to say, "Hmmmm...."

We don't do the TV-thing, but I hear there are commercials out already.

I am so bad at awards that this time I thought I would pass it along as soon as I got it! My sweet friend, Sara, gave me this pretty award. She also told me the rules, but I want to bend them a bit. I feel like many bloggers just pass off awards to others that haven't already gotten them. Instead, I want to pass this one off to the blogs that I actually ALWAYS read! (Yes. I visit everyday, tho, I am probably nursing Luke when I do it and leaving a comment is "difficult". Still, I really love you gals!)

We take pride in our pretty yard, but we've had some (BAD) bald spots this summer. We always lack rain here in GA, so I've watered, plus my hubby has fertilized a lot. But...last night I found the problem! We called him Bunny-kins and invited him back anytime. I'm totally okay with it.

Thankfully, he ignored my little garden right there next to him!

This is a "False Widow". Did you know that? I (sadly) killed him/her yesterday because he/she was building a nice home next to my backdoor. Location! Location! Location!

Anyway, I knew it wasn't a Black Widow b/c it was brown so I had to hit Google. (We do have black widows and rattle snakes and scorpions since we back up to the woods and a creek in GA!) It seems that they aren't too bad, but depending on the exact type, the bite can be very painful and cause a lot of swelling. Yuck!

Sam is off to VBS next week and we are both excited. He needs something new, after being out of school for 2 full months, PLUS I need him to experience something new after being with him for 2 months! He will love it, too. They always have jumpies and a petting zoo and tons of games. Oh, and a big party for all of the families on the last night!

Tomorrow night me and the hubs have another Date Night! We are attending a friend's "gathering" that just happens to be a poker tournament. We'll miss the card playing because I am glued to my babe until his bedtime, but we will get some nice (needed) adult time.
