So yesterday we dropped our one and only offspring at the airport. My friend in Rhode Island invited her for the summer where she's already got a job lined up which is awesome, right?

Being that she's my one and only, yes, I was worried and have been about all the things that could go wrong. But I trust my friend implicitely and I also trust my daughter. But she's our only kid and we don't have a spare! :D

Since she'll be gone for the summer, I have absolutely NO EXCUSES for not managing my time better and getting a sh*tload of stuff done while she's gone. Except this....

No More Distractions?


So I walked into my office this morning and this greeted me. I call them "brownies." They are big--they are fast--and they scare me to death because they are so big and fast! My desk is on the right of this picture right next to the window.

This is payback, by the way. The other night, this guy was in the bathroom and our 20 year old daughter was freaking out begging one of us to kill it. We both refused. We wanted to teach her a lesson about not being afraid of spiders. I told her if she doesn't bother it, it won't bother her. HUGE MISTAKE!

In general, I have a live-and-let-live attitude when it comes to insects. If they don't bother me, I leave them alone. But when it comes to brownies, I have to re-evaluate now.

I decided that I just couldn't work that close to a brownie and went to look for a slipper. When I came back, he was gone! I couldn't find it anywhere! And I looked! Believe me. I even got out the flashlight because I was afraid it would scurry across my desk or up the cables to my laptop.

That's how fast he is. I was gone a maximum of 10 seconds and in that time he disappeared. He's here. Hiding. Haunting me. Taunting me....now I'm distracted. I'm not sure I can work in this room anymore.

I think I have to move now.

Don't let the spider distract you! He doesn't want you to reach success!

I still haven't found him! Yet, I'm not letting an insect dictate where I choose to work! :D

Holy moly. I would need to move out. Then set the house on fire to be sure.

BAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah! I feel like that too!

I know how you feel - about the spider!! Let's hope it also decides to go on a trip and leave you alone!

PS - I like brownies - the ones you eat - so I couldn't call these brownies.

Ha! Ha! Yes, I know what you mean. I prefer the lovely, sweet, chocolaty gooey brownies as well! Alanna
