Say hello to my little friend

Or not so little. Dang, I thought everything in TX was bigger but I think IL has one on them. This is the biggest praying mantis I have EVER seen. He was helping me get gas yesterday. For a moment I thought he might start talking to me he was so big. Ok...no....I was not on anything thank you very much. He was just huge.

Anyway, things here are going ok. They put carpet in the house yesterday and all the door knobs too. It is coming together quickly. We have the first walk through on Wednesday the 10th at 12:30. I can't wait! There are a few things they need to fix but it is really looking awesome. I can't wait to sleep in my bed. This air mattress thing is getting very uncomfortable. The older I get the more things I find I can't sleep on. When M and I first got married and went camping we slept on the ground in sleeping bags then it went to air mattresses. Then we upgraded to a double queen size mattress which is what we are sleeping on right now. Next I think its a hotel. But then that wouldn't be camping huh?

I wanted to say thanks to all who commented about the no friends and me hating it here. I hope you are all right. But it seems that people in IL are not as friendly as IN and OK and TX. But then OZ never gave nothing to the tin man that he didn't already have. (sorry I'm listening to my IPOD and America's Tin Man. Who knows where my brain is and what it is doing. The fumes of the cleaning solutions must be getting to me.

I did take pictures of the house yesterday but they all came out bad. M has to take the pics, I'm just not good at it. I will post some this weekend. Have a great Friday/weekend.
