Right?! I had the hardest time sleeping so I've been tired all day. Every time I heard a noise outside my window I was all OMG WHO IS BREAKING INTO MY HOUSE. And then it started to thunderstorm.
Hardest lesson I learned when I was living alone, just me and Roxie. No more watching freaky stuff after I got off work at night. Because my old (not like old as in age, but the one we just sold) house would settle and it sounded like someone was walking around down stairs. But I always knew that unless Roxie was in a tiff, nothing concerning was actually happening. She's got a good head on her, and I trust her instincts.

There was this one time, though, a few years back, when Roxie was "watching", like something was going around in my room. She ran out a few minutes after, and would not go back in my room for like a month. I didn't either.

It freaked me out so bad, because that night, I had just finished watching that show on Animal Planet... about the one where pets alerted to paranormal? Don't remember what it was called, but I haven't watched it since. I do still love other preternatural shows, and ID. Mostly ID because the way people's brains work intrigues me.

Cobain has been doing this since I finished reading those stories. He's keeps staring past me at the hallway with a worry-face. It's creeping me out, I've turned around to check more times than I'd like to admit.

So I JUST bought bird seed (songbird supreme by Wrangler) and filled the enormous feeder. Just yesterday afternoon. Like, half my 7lb bucket in that feeder.

There is only about three inches of seed left tonight. :yikes:

Methinks the birds like it. :D I thought it'd take a week before I could go out and re-fill the feeder, but we get SO MANY BIRDS. Red-winged blackbirds, warbling vireos, I think some sparrows or something. Mostly small birds.

I love this yard. I'm going to build a few more bird houses (there's only like one, and aside from the ice age trail, there's not really any other bird houses nearby) and get at least one more feeder. Hopefully also plant some bird-friendly plants and a garden.

Sometimes I feel like it's cheating, because GOOD GOD men really do not understand women.

And yet men are so simple.
So easy.
So stupid.

Ben is having a minor freak out because all of the Lego stuff for girl's is, as he put it, "If you marry rich, you might get a yacht..." or "Disney princesses getting laid"

You can call me shallow if you want to. The last guy I was seeing didn't really bother much with the gym. Told me he'd never used free weights ever. Didn't even bother to suck in his gut. Come on, you could at least TRY.

But THIS guy.

All over the place.

Hoooo boy.

Basically addicted to that Boom Clap song from The Fault In Our Stars.

I don't even like poppy songs.

But it's so good. And it's not even annoying when it gets stuck in my head. Which it has been all day.

I want a rabbit or a guinea pig or something.

Just so I can feed it hay. I love the smell of hay.

The chickens get straw, but that does not smell as fresh of course, and while their pellets do smell nice, its not the same.

American dollars look and feel exactly like monopoly money!!! And smell horrid!
They do if they are brand new! Be careful, because sometimes new money sticks to each other. Once you start using it, you will probably get change and see the dollars that have been in use for a while. Those are softer.

They just changed the $100 bill again. I keep thinking someone is handing me foreign currency at first. This happens to me every time they change any of the bills... Thank God for the $1 bills... They're reliable. HaHa.

And yes, be careful with new bills... They like to play tricks on you!

Drove 40 minutes to eat at our favorite steak house, and while we were in the area we stopped by petco to look at the ferrets...

I did not leave with any...but DH walked in saying, "No ferrets" to walking out saying, "Can you just wait until Biggs is gone and I've deployed?" LOL

So much wee baby ferret cuteness. I could have stayed in there all day.

So how do you respond when someone you barely know and is 20-30 years your senior (and opposite sex) casually mentions wanting to put sardines all over himself so his cats could lick them off of him? You know... like during your basic 'Oh hi how are you doing?' small talk polite conversation because I have met you but don't know you.

I'm like...WTF. Like seriously that is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Like really. Weirdest thing. Ever.

Also I was mowing and I about had a heart attack because I looked in my glass goor and saw a person walking across the kitchen. No... It was Mia on the counters. Walking across them to reach the top of the trash can to pull the bag that used to contain fajita chicken out of the trash. I should have known.

Sounds like a party! Did you offer to help apply them? :rofl1:

People are effing weird.
