Moving
There was a lot of moving preparation and moving of things around the house this weekend. Spidey's cage got a cleaning and she got moved to a smaller tank. She was not happy with me through the process of taking her out of her big cage and putting her in a small tank. The process went like this - put tiny box in her big cage, nudge her into the tiny box with the end of a chopstick, close tiny box, put tiny box in new cage, open tiny box, nudge her out with a chopstick. Yeah, I'm not touching her with my bare hands. The whole time I was wearing gardening gloves. Chris and JT both found the process amusing.
I also moved some plants to a new home:
These guys all got replanted. See, lots of moving around! I spent some time sorting through clothes and toiletries and getting rid of unwanted stuff. I made donation piles, threw out expired crap, I even got rid of old condiments in the fridge. Isn't it weird how condiments keep appearing in a refrigerator?
This weekend was also the start of outdoor party season! Yay for barbeques. Saturday we got to sit out on our friend's lawn in front of their outdoor fireplace thingy and I ended the evening watching JT drink Irish Car Bombs, with absolute certainty that he would be vomiting on my lawn. But no, the stubborn bastard instead woke up Sunday morning and ran 10 miles. Who does that? JT does that. Silly runner.
I made a cheesecake on Sunday in honor of my mom and sister's birthday (today). I haven't ever made a cheesecake before, so I'm not sure how it came out. I'll find out when we eat it at my mom's house tonight. Happy Birthday to my mom and sister!

This made me have flashbacks to the other night when I discovered a HUGE wolf spider in our house. I'm not normally afraid of spiders but dang. We pay a guy to keep critters like that out of the house and did I mention it was HUGE. Sorry to say.....I had to smash it so it didn't lunch on my family!

Jen, Coming out from the shadows to ask you....where did you get the new pots for your plants? They look very chic. See you Wednesday. - Kristina

I'm amazed you have a tarantula but won't touch him. Too funny. And I'm impressed you can keep plants alive long enough to be replanted. I have yet to keep one alive that long.

That spider would creep me out if it was in my house!
BTW, did you notice BigDubb's blog got snatched up by someone else? Probably time to remove it from your "Other Bloggers" section.
