ants!

we found a few ants in our apartment on saturday. sunday morning we found even more and sunday afternoon (despite killing a bunch and moping the floor in the morning) when we arrived home from church there were even more. so we went shopping. ant traps and environmentally friendly ant killer (lemongrass anyone?) later, we had significantly fewer ants in our house. there were more this morning but they seemed to be feasting on the ant traps so i am curious to see what is there when i get home.

i am a fan of digital sabbaticals. i did one again this weekend and seem to have had more time to do everything--play outside, run, meditate, read a book, watch a movie, write thank you notes, try new recipes and most importantly, spend time with eric. saturday night we watched return of the jedi thus completing my star wars education and last night we discovered that uncooked spaghetti squash is resistant to cutting, even with very sharp knives. we don't know where we'll end up next year, but its fun to keep tossing out ideas and pondering them for a few days (or a few hours) to see if there's anything in which both of us are interested.
