5

Another reason why Arizona sucks

I make no secret of the fact that my Midwest heart does not much like it here in the Southwest. I mean honestly, the high today is 113. I thought if I put it in blue, it might trick my mind into thinking it's not so hot. It doesn't seem to be working. Meh.

Another downside to the Southwest aside from the neverending heat is all the yucky, nasty bugs and other dangerous creatures that seem to be everywhere. Normally I am not the squeamish type. Spiders don't bother me one little bit. Unless of course you're talking about a black widow that has decided to set up camp right outside my door. We've had about 5 of these such spiders recently. EEK!

Normally I'm a catch and release sort of girl, but I really don't feel comfortable having bunches of these little guys (err... gals) hanging around with my two dogs and very curious and grabby Ellie. I feel bad that they have to die, but they really must to preserve my sanity.
