OMG! It's a curse!

Okay, so while we were gone on vacation the beach house we were in's air conditioner stopped running. Now that by itself wasn't so odd. I mean those air conditioners do not last well in the salt air and humidity.

It only became odd when I got home and turned my air conditioner down from where I had it set while we were gone and waited for it to kick on and start cooling. Well it blew, but it didn't cool off. So I went outside and the compressor wasn't kicking on. Hmmm....I just bought the thing!

So I called the great guy who installed it, and he couldn't be here until tuesday because he was out of town monday. Good thing it was cool! But he was out here first thing this morning, and he found something unlike anything he's ever seen before!

A spider had apparently built its nest in the place where the electricity kicks on. (I dunno what this is called. Connection or whatever. I'm no electrician. hehe ) Well when the power tried to connect it fried the spider and her nest, but it was still in the way and the power wouldn't connect. He cleaned it out, and it works great now. I have to find his card and put all his contact information up here. The guy is great! He didn't even charge me even though I seriously doubt spider invasion is covered by my warranty. LOL

So as Lishy said, Spiders really are evil!!!

I'm glad air conditioning won't be necessary for long. Perhaps my bad AC luck will have worn off by next summer.

More on my AWESOME vacation soon. :-D

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
