Party til the ANTS move in...

This weekend was a fun weekend... or at least it started out to be... Saturday I spent a better part of my day relaxing and working on a scrapbook that I am making for a friend to document her mother's life... then on Sunday our friends, Jenny and Scott, invited us to join them on the lake.

So we decide that we both need a break from work and need to have some fun. So off we go to Grapevine Lake (Lake Grapevine where I am from...) to play on the boat, swim, wake board and just hang out in the sun and enjoy a beautiful day! We had a lot of fun, these pictures prove it!
This is a picture of me and my friend Jenny. We took the picture ourselves while the guys were working hard at getting Trevor's size 11 feet into the size 9 bindings on the wake board. Who knew that soap was needed to get those bootie things on!!!! Apparently dish soap is good "lube." As you can see we were having a good time on the boat!

Here Jen thought it would be fun to take a picture of me just "lounging" at the front of the boat. Most people know that pictures of me in a bikini are very rare... as in so rare that one of my closest friends that has known me for most of my life has yet to see me in a swimsuit without some sort of a coverup on! Earlier on our trip from the loading ramp to the cove, Jen and I were both laying up here at the front of the boat just chillin. The guys said that they didn't mind the view!

Here Trevor is out and up on the wake board. This was his first time to ever wake board! He is sooo good at water sport things! I was going to try the wakeboard experience, but the life jacket was too big for me and the other life jackets were the orange safety jackets... maybe next time... hahahahahaha! I couldn't even get up on the knee board or the water skis... I doubt that I could get up out of the water on a wakeboard! :)

Here is a good picture of Trevor with the sunsetting behind him. I personally like this shot! :)

Now that the sun is setting, it is time for Tracey and Trevor to head home... well, after we pick up our pizza and eat at Jenny's house... that is when we realize that the ants had moved in...

Cue the kiddie tape with the song "The ANTS go marching two by two hurrah..."

I come home first and get out of the shower and am brushing my teeth when I feel this tickling sensation on my foot... I look down only to see about 15 little red ants crawling around on my foot and up my leg! I screamed like any normal female would, then looked toward my closet where as the old phrase goes I couldn't see the forest for all of the trees... well I couldn't see my closet floor for all of the ants! Calling Trevor to tell him to come home... NOW!!!! He comes in and proceeds to tell me (or remind me) that it is really all my fault cause I had somehow managed to leave food out... (in my closet????) Apparently this is the cure all solution to ants being in a house... I left food out SOMEWHERE... explained the ants in the kitchen two weeks ago... (that was true, I did forget to cover the scotcheroos before leaving for work) and the ants in the living room (dunno when I had eaten next to the baseboard on the OTHER SIDE of the room from the couch...)... but come on... the closet... So to avoid having poison sprayed inside our house (heaven forbid that!) Trevor put paper out in my closet and sprinkled the wonderful ant killer bait otherwise known as AMDRO ANT KILLER... which apparently fed the ants all night, then they got a second helping the next morning, and a third helping that next night...

Wanna know why the ants came into the house??? I'll tell you... my wonderful boyfriend was doing yardwork Sunday afternoon before we went to the lake... while mowing on the side of the house he noticed a nice trail of ants going up the brick side of our house. So what does this intelligent young man do? He goes and gets the bug spray poison stuff and sprays down the grass and the brick wall and anywhere else the ants might have been or have access to during their journey... so apparently they were trying to escape the poison and decided to make their pilgrimage to my closet for revenge! I ended up with 7 bites on my left foot and one on my left thigh! And who would have thought that I would be allergic to these bites, just like I am to mosquitos!!! Who'da thunk that one!!!!

Well now it is time for this little girl to get to bed and hopefully sleep softly, minus the dreams about the ants crawling on the walls and covering the floor and the bed... GOOD NIGHT!
