« Hey, remember the garden? | Main | I knew it would tick me off... »
Friday, May 16, 2008
It's a good thing I'm determined to like summer from now on.
Otherwise I might make a list of reasons to loathe this time of year. Like, say, this list. (I just can't stop myself.)
- Grasshoppers. Stupid nasty ugly chirpy GARDEN-HUNGRY grasshoppers. After all the precautions I have taken against deer and pocket gophers, if all the hard work I've put into that garden is laid waste by a Little-House-like plague of clicking insects I may have to go mad. (Although watching Scout chase them is amusing.)
- My car does not yet have functioning air conditioning, although T is working on that.
- Stickers. For a country girl, I am terribly wimpy about stickers in my socks. Always have been. I will never forget the humiliation I felt on the summertime hike I went on at the age of eleven or so, with my mom and my city-bred Bay Area cousin, when I was the one pitching a fit because my socks and shoelaces were a mass of stickers. And yet I just couldn't stop. Now I get to weed-eat them, which flings them all over my clothing at high speed, which I dislike intensely.
- The annual onslaught of the phrase "Dads and Grads" (it hurts me even to type it) has begun, and just like it has every year since I learned how to read, it makes my stomach heave a little bit every time I see it. I am not sure why.
- THIS.
HELLO. It is not even Memorial Day yet. (Fortunately, it's supposed to be back in the 80's next week.)

I HATE fox tails in my socks. Suck suck suck. I wonder if this comment will post now cause I said suck so much. When it is 103 out here, it feels like 113 because of the humidity. More suck.

Oh my goodness! I hate the "Dads and Grads" thing too and I don't even know why. I should have learned by now that you're a good person to check with if I think I'm the only person in the world who has a given opinion...

The thing that kills me about Dads and Grads here is that the high schools graduate REALLY early here. Like this weekend. I graduated in June and that made more sense. Now you're just giving a belated graduation gift.
