Off to Pittsburgh

tomorrow for a week to visit family. I was supposed to see DL this Saturday, but my niece couldn't get tickets, so I am bummed. It would have been nice to meet Connie since she is going to that show. Oh well, maybe another time. There are still tickets left, but I can't justify spending the money right now.

My backyard is being taken over by squirrels. We have managed to coexist pretty nicely since we moved in 9 years ago, but they are becoming a pain in the ass. They are eating the dog food, trying to chew their way into our shed, and they are terrorizing my dachshund and rabbit. Hubby was going to take some out with the .22 rifle, but my youngest went berserk and insisted he couldn't kill any of them. We settled on using the BB gun for now to see if they can be frightened off. I swear these squirrels are on steroids. They are the biggest damn things I have ever seen. I guess we will work on it more when we get back.

Well, I am off to get some work done. I hope everyone has a fun filled safe 4th and Connie, get some good pics for us to drool over, lol!

Have fun Melanie!! I wish I was meeting you at the show...but I totally understand. I will do my best to get some HOT Phil pics for you. You know how he loves to pose for the camera.

We had some crazy ass birds in our backyard and I chased the one down with with a BB gun and shot it. Didn't kill it, but they haven't been back since. They were dropping poop in our pool...from their mouths...YUCK!

Oh well...have fun and stay safe!

Ooh, Phil pics. Looking forward to seeing those. I would have had to go after those birds as well. That's gross!

And thanks Jude. We are enjoying our trip so far. We are participating in a block party today at my niece's. Lots of good food, Pittsburgh style!!
