I just added 15 more pictures to the Rock City Gardens page of the "Etc" section.
The place really is beautiful. I hope to be able to fit another trip in there when I go home either next month or in the fall...

My new desk.
Yesterday I bought a new desk. My old desk had an open back and things were always falling behind it, never to be seen again. I went to Staples and looked at their computer armoires and found this one...
We put it together without the doors because there just isn't enough room for them in the space we're using it. I just LOVE it. There's so much more storage space than on my old desk and the back is closed in!!

Website Updates.
I'm beginning to catch up on some updates at Melissa's Trips that I've been putting off for a while.
I just added some pictures from our January 2005 trip to Desoto Caverns and I've gotten a few of our Rock City pictures up. It will take me a while to get captions on all of the pictures... that's my least favorite part about doing these updates so I always put it off as long as possible.

Bugs!
A few weeks ago I noticed a few small black bugs in our kitchen. I didn't think much about them at first, that is until the "few" became the "many". I started searching the 'net to see if I could identify them. My Google search led me to a site called What's that Bug? and on that site I found them! Pantry Weevils.
I talked with Tom's mother and told her we needed to go through all of the cabinets in the kitchen and find out where they came from. I knew there must have been some kind of food in there somewhere that was causing it.
That weekend I searched through all of the food that belongs to me and Tom and found nothing. I figured his mom had done the same and didn't think anything about it again until tonight.
While I was cooking dinner I noticed a LOT of the little bugs on the floor around the cabinets, and more on the wall behind them. His mom came in so I asked if she had gone through her cabinet. Nope... she said most of the stuff in there had never been opened so she didn't think she needed to check it. WRONG! I found several of the little buggers crawling around inside her cabinet, so she starts taking stuff out and came across a box of organic rotini pasta in the back and hands it to me. I could see a couple of the bugs crawling inside the package through the little "window" on the front. She tosses it in the trash and that's that...
After dinner I'm back in the kitchen with Tom and he opens the trash can lid to throw something out and it is FULL of them... seriously, the whole top of the bag and inside the lid is black, covered with bugs! Ack!
We tossed it in the can outside and sprayed everything with bug spray. I really hope that getting rid of the pasta will get rid of the bugs. I need to do a bit more reading about them and find out I guess...
Seems like it's always something around here...

BBQ Time!
A few of Tom's friends came over for a BBQ last night and after dinner they walked over to the Mile with us to listen to some jazz. We missed the Hot 8's 7:00 show but they joined the Soul Rebels for 2 songs and it was really great. I've got one more chance to see them today at 4:30. We also missed Dr John. I had a pretty bad headache after we got back last night and didn't feel like walking back over at 11:00 to see his show. He's playing again tonight though, and we're definitely going.
It was SO hot yesterday. When I went over at 11:00 AM it was already 82 (felt like 86, or at least that's what TWC said, personally I think it felt like 186). It was much hotter when I went back over at 1:30 for lunch, so hot I didn't even want to know the exact temperature.
I stopped by a Greek booth and picked up a couple gyros for me and Tom and got back to the house as quickly as possible.

Carnaval on the Mile
This weekend is the annual Carnaval on the Mile Jazz, food, wine and art fest on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Florida.
I'm on my way over there now to check out the early exhibits.
I usually don't stay too long during the day because it's just too hot, but I'm definitely going back tonight at 7:00 to see the Hot 8 Brass Band and again at 11:00 to see Dr. John. The Hot 8 Brass band was there last year and they were great. Can't wait for the show...
