Snake!!!

I went out to my garden to pick some of my ripe tomatoes yesterday, minding my own business when something dark to the right of my hand caught my eye... this was staring me in the face:

This water moccasin got tangled up in the mesh I have draping over my tomato plants to keep the birds and pests out. I guess it did it's job... sort of. Needless to day, I jumped back and let out a little scream and went running inside. I called Jeff to come home as soon as he could to come to my rescue and kill this ugly snake (at the time I did not stay out there long enough to investigate if it was alive or dead). As soon as he got home he found that it had died and just cut it out of the mesh (my hero!) lol. It had to be at least 3 1/2 feet long! I'm glad that it was already dead when I went out there since my hand was right next to it's head. This was a little too close for comfort if you ask me! The people that live behind us have a pond and there is a ditch between the properties, so I guess this was inevitable, but now I am going to be a lot more careful and keep my eyes pealed for more of these guys.

The Saga Continues...

I just finished book #3 of the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. yay! I'm off to start Breaking Dawn, the final book ASAP!

Home Sweet Home

I'm so excited! We have a bird making a nest in our Magnolia Tree :). I really hope she lays some eggs, too.

LOST "Follow the Leader"

This week's episode of LOST was one of the best in a long time! I am actually in the process of rewatching it as I speak so since there seemed to be so much that went on...

We find out that most of the "Others" are way more confused about what is going on than we thought. Eloise, Charles, Richard, and Ben seem to be lost, literally!

I was hoping to learn more about Richard's past. We got to see a lot of him, but he didn't answer any questions or give us some history... typical!

It seems to be proving that this is just going to be a continuous loop since they can not change the future. Jack seems to be convinced otherwise, however. This, in turn, breaks Kate's heart since Jack wants to erase everything that has happened the last 3 years.

John seems to have a new air of confidence about him. I like it; he obviously knows a lot and has complete control over what is going on.

I love how Ben just mopes around and pouts about not being the leader anymore. He is such a baby! (Sorry, Allyson) lol I think that he is back to his old ways and going to try to get Richard to go against John. He is such a trouble maker!

My favorite part of the whole episode is when John brings Richard and Ben in the forest to watch himself come out of the forest; sending Richard to take the bullet out of his leg... very trippy!
Best line is from Ben to John, "This must be quite the out of body experience!"

Ben seemed to read my mind when he asked John, "how did you know when to be here?" and John replied, "the Island told me." COME ON!! Give me something more than that! geez!

Favorite part #2 is Hugo trying to prove that he is not from the future, claiming he was 46, there is no such thing as the Korean War, and had no clue who was President of the US... I have to sympathize since I wouldn't have known that stuff either. lol Of course, typical Hurley stumbles over his words and just gives up.

Now we just need to figure out who Jacob is... Why hasn't anyone seen him?? Why didn't he ask what Christian Shepherd's role was? What about Claire, did he forget about her??
I really hope that I was right in guessing that John is Jacob, but when John admits at the end of the episode that he wants to kill Jacob (dum dum dum!), that might prove me wrong... We'll see!

Are Juliet and Sawyer going to go back to the real world and live happilier every after, buying Microsoft and betting on Cowboys football games?? I hope not! Kate is such a home wrecker; I dont like Juliet, but Kate is a hussy...

I can't believe next week is the finale... I'm so excited!

Online Shopping...

I admit that i do lots of online shopping. I don't actually purchase that much stuff, but I love to look anyways. It is like the modern "window shopping" venue...
Anyhoo... I ordered this swim suit for our trip to St. Thomas in a few weeks:


Although I will not look nearly as good as this model, I loved the way the top can convert to a halter. It will be great for catchin' some rays! 20 days in counting until we leave and are here.

Say It Ain't So!

I really like the show "Jon and Kate Plus 8".... I hope the rumors are not true!

"In February, the 32-year-old was spotted flirting with -- and even attempting to kiss -- coeds at Juniata College, multiple students confirm to Us Weekly. (He denied any wrongdoing.) He told one coed "he was getting divorced." In the May Ladies Home Journal, he says, "I always thought I would be, like, 54 years old and marry a 19-year-old or something.""

Goodbye...

Last night's episode of LOST was supposed to be "the best of the season". Let's just say that I was HIGHLY disappointed in the events that unfolded.
Faraday was instantly one of my favorites. I have this kind of weird "thing" for smart, quirky men. I know, I know... but hey, just look at Jeff, they make wonderful husbands. lol
Anyhoo...We found out a lot about Faraday's life and his psychological abuse from his mom, Eloise Hawking; along with reassurance of our guess that Charles Widmore was his father. Besides a few blurbs of high level math jargin (that most of the views would not understand anyway), we did not learn much about what Faraday actually knew about the island. This is so frustrating.
Then at the end of the show, he is shot by his own mother! If that is not bad enough, she has such little respect and love for him, that she sent him back to the island with full knowledge that it would happen! What a psycho! ugh... Now we will never know exactly what he know and found out.
And so it stands that we have lost another one of my favorite characters :( I really hope that they bring him and Charlie back asap!
So the question stands.. Can you really change the future? If it is really Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurlye, etc's present, in the past, can they change what will happen?
How will the writters solve this one?
I really hope that they are not on some infinate loop, but I also hope that they can't change the future because that means that none of them would have ever met and this whole show has been a waste! lol jk

Facebook Quiz

So, I took one of those silly quizzes on Facebook that is supposed to "accurately" guess your personality... This one was called "What engagement ring style fits your personality". Here is what the result was:

"You're quite the individual! Good for you! You value tradition, but welcome change. You are intelligent, witty, sensitive, and have a diverse set of friends. You are as comfortable discussing politics as you are baking cookies. You have strong morals and principals and are respected by others. You have a purpose and it will be realized."

While the ring doesn't look anything like my real engagement ring, I think the description is pretty accurate. I especially like the part, "You are as comforable discussing politics as you are baking cookies." For those of you who know me, I think you would agree! lol

Jazz Fest

Jeff and I went down to New Orleans for Jazz Fest this year. Yesterday is the only day that we will be able to make it, but Dave Matthews, Wayne Toups, and Better than Ezra were playing so it was the best day, anyways. It was a lot of fun; another thing to check off my list of "things to do while living in Louisiana", but the hygienics were pretty gross and the crowds got a little overwhelming. I definitely would not go unless we had the free perks (ie cleaner bathrooms, a tent with tables and chairs, and free food, beer and drinks) from Shell Oil! Here are a few pics:
