Not really, but it hurts like the dickens. I drove through a web on the mower one day, and it bit me on the neck. I panicked and smooshed it on my neck (YUCK!). I had a big red, painful mark on my neck (not just from my hand) for a few days, but that's about it.So cute!!! Of course I'm talking about Elizabeth!!
I'm hoping their bite isn't toxic or poisonous?
Morning all. Monday is a bit different for me this week. My Son Jonah was born late Sunday night. After a bit of a panic and about 20 doctors later he arrived into this world and he's perfect
Yep . LOL
Ahhhhh!!! Very disturbing, Brad!
Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!
My Sunday afternoon was filled with working on a project that my little brother started. He got a good deal on a used tractor implement that just needed a little work. We wound up at his shop for hours, covered in grease. And it still doesn't work. LOL
Maybe today will go better. I hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Monday!! I'm finally caught up!
We had a pretty festive weekend. There weren't many people at the lake & Jim went loafing with his dad on Saturday so my friend & I took off on a road trip to a home décor place way out in the country. I had only been there once before at Christmas so I wanted to see it with fall things. It was fantastic! I'll have to post some pics in a fall thread! On the way back to the lake we stopped for lunch & then stopped at a farmers market to pick up pumpkins & mums. Such a fun & festive day. Then we watched the Buckeyes with friends. Yesterday I wanted to make soup over the fire but we ended up having my hubby's family over to our house to celebrate my FIL's birthday (was Friday). We got some unbaked pizza's & made 1 on the grill & the other 2 in the oven. They were delicious! My SIL made cinnamon rolls & my MIL made a carrot cake & Jim & I made homemade ice cream... geez, what a feast!! We sat out on our patio. It was a nice day! I watched the Hallmark movie last night "Lead With Your Heart" - I thought it was good! A good way to end the weekend. Boooo!!
Have a Merry Monday everyone!!
I forgot to tell you guys about my date. We had to cancel our original date due to him having death in his family.
So we had to reschedule for this Saturday. I was soooo nervous - didn't know what to wear, didn't know what to do with my hair, got brows done and pedicure (do guys even notice??? - he did!!!) changed outfits like 40 times my oldest said I must have tried on every dress in my closet. Didn't want to appear to overdress like I was as the kids say "doin the most" didn't want to appear like I didn't care cuz I soooo cared. Picked a perfect dress I could dress up or down. I kept it casual - a little off the shoulders, cute sandals and makeup was a fresh look not dramatic. Took a cab to meet him (safety first - after all we did meet online!) and arrived a little ahead of him so I put our name on the list and five mins or so he arrived.
His online photo did him no justice. His is soooo handsome - blue eyes, salt 'n pepper hair (he's 44 -first time dating someone older than myself) and an athletic body. He was dress semi-casual - nice jeans and blue and white button down, nice shoes. He thought I was and I quote "Gorgeous!" and I blushed. Dinner conversation was very relax and enjoyable. My nerves melted and we laughed and laughed. We have soooo much in common - music, traveling, we both love war movies (he's a Veteran), similar situations with the closeness we have with our kids (each have 2 each). We were seated at 6:50ish and we were done by 7:40 so he asked if I had to get back home or did I want to continue (are you kidding!?!!!) and so he voided out the check he paid and we stayed for drinks and dessert, during which we decided to see a movie.
We saw the movie BLACK MASS - pretty good film. He drove me home (I felt comfy enough at this point). Upon walking me to my door he asked me out again for this Thursday which I played it cool and said "yes, I would like that very much" but I wanted to say "HAIL YEAH!!!" We've been talking and texting each other regularly since then. Sorry for the long message but can you tell that I'm excited??? Dating is rough and more times than not I've had some duds so to have a good one come along is awesome.
OMGosh!!!!YES, I would freak out!!! But oh SF, to have witnessed that all go down!!!
Yes! I'm not typically too squeamish around spiders, unless they're large or potentially poisonous/toxic. With that being said, I saw the largest spider I've ever seen yesterday....and it was felt, as well-crawling on my head while I was driving on the highway
I had just left Ken's house, and just started driving (1/2 mile down the road) and I felt something crawling on the side of my head. I thought maybe a lady bug/beetle, etc. Nope....
I flipped out!! And screamed the most blood curdling scream I could muster up. I was doing 60 mph, so all I could do was throw my hair all about, and I could still see it getting closer to my face. I pulled over to the side of the highway, and jumped out. I must've looked like a crazed lunatic, either that or I decided to pull over to do some head banging. It was terrifying! I pulled myself together, not knowing where the spider was (under my clothes? on my back?), and pulled onto a less dangerous county road, and called Adrian to come help me. He checked my hair, car, and clothing. We couldn't find it.Talk about the longest drive home (85 miles), I kept thinking it was crawling on me. I was shaking, lol. It could still be in my car, for all I know. I did leave my windows cracked, hoping it would crawl out if so. It took up a large amount of space on the side of my head, it had long legs, thick, furry. No exaggeration. I believe it is either a fishing spider, or wolf spider.
This is what it looked like:

The above are photos of the species found in Wisconsin...I had no idea...
We get a lot of these around here:
You're welcome =]
You're welcome!
Never want to go through that again, for sure!
Goodnight, Sam! Sleep well!
