On Life and Blogging absence

I became so frustrated with typing on my computer and concurrently blowing away that which I had just typed that I stopped blogging.  Yesterday, at a lovely family Thanksgiving dinner, there was so much talk of blogging that I became inspired to blog once again. So, I'm back.

I may or may not have mentioned on previous blog entries that housekeeping is not one of my strong suits. I did, however, within the past week, evict all spiders and their cozy homes from the house. Yesterday I was sitting in my comfy chair and noticed that there were three (count them - THREE) layers of thick spider webs going from window to bookcase! I felt totally invalidated in the spider web eradication department.  At the same time, the Big Guy and I had been discussing Christmas decorations. I flashed on a fantastic idea for decorations! Now don't laugh until you see pictures because I really am going to do this...

Since the spiders have failed to desist in their web building I am going to have them join in the festivities by sprinkling their webs with either red or green glitter! A Paper Addict suggested that using red would also have the house decorated for Valentines day and the Fourth of July!

After a brief search, I could only find silver glitter. It works great! My spiders have stars in their eyes :-)
