brennaToo bad it's not Monday, because this afternoon I totally beat up my insurance company until they gave me money.
Another thing: I came home to find a few ants* in my shower, wandering around since the walls were too slippery to climb, and then I looked closer... and saw a single small, neat pile of little ant wings over on one end. Wikipedia tells me that ants drop their wings after mating, but the collection of them is still weird to me. The spiders I'm allowing to live are falling down on the job around here.
*Okay, when I googled 'winged ants' to make sure that's actually what they were, I ended up on a pest control site and I saw on their sidebar that they had an entry for ladybugs! And I thought that was cool of them to list ladybugs, since they're natural predators of garden-y bugs and harmless to everything else, and not focus exclusively on chemical insecticides.
BUT WHEN I CLICKED ON IT, THERE BEFORE ME WERE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LADYBUG ELIMINATION. WAAH.

"I have seen massive "balls" of them in attics where they are mating and amassing." Okay, well... that I would find upsetting.
