Ways to Save: Cut Your Man's Hair

Tom bought a set of clippers a few weeks back and tonight I gave him a hair cut. Here is how it turned out. I must say though, he is one PICKY customer. Especially given my really fair price of FREE! I will admit to one small slip up that required a band aid on his neck (oops).

Attack of the Drugstore Beetles

If you have never experienced drugstore beetles, consider yourself lucky. For reference they are the size of a flax seed. We had a brief encounter with them last year when they got into some dog treats. However, this year is an all out war. They are EVERYWHERE!!!!

I spent this morning going through our pantry, throwing away all the food they had gotten into (pretty much everything that was not factory sealed). Then, I vacuumed up all the ones I could see, and have been repeatedly vacuuming up bugs as they appear. Here are a couple of pictures taken before the third round of bug vacuuming.

Oh well, I guess they could be and invasion of palmetto bugs (a nice name for the roaches that frequent the area). However, I did vaccum up one in the sunroom. Thankfully it was already dead (which is how we find most of them). Here is a pic of a palmetto bug.

If this happened to me, I would DIE!

So as you can see.... our summer of fun is of with a bang ;-)

In other news, the bathroom remodel is coming along. I promise pictures when it is all done. And there has been absolutely no bickering in the process. See ya soon.

Golf Update: I beat Tom!

Yep, you read that right, I beat Tom tonight, without any handicap I might add ;-). We played at the Tega Cay golf course tonight. Tom had 65, I had 64. Yes, I know, this is not a score to brag about, but it is only the fourth time I have played a "real" (other than par 3) course. The best part was watching Tom suck it up. Here is an idea of what he looked like on the course this afternoon.
