It's a little hard getting back into the swing of things. Right now I'm just happy to be home. There is something about a warm strong hug from the person you love that just sets things right. A little distance isn't always a bad thing either. Makes coming back all the sweeter.
I will say this though coming back in the midst of all these fires hasn't been so great for my sinuses. I'm glad our home is safe and far from the fires and that I'm just dealing with a little smoke. I've seen several fires that weren't even reported on the news because the Tahoe Fire is just so big. At least the fires down here haven't done that kind of damage.
All the same here are a few photos I took over the weekend of the fires here in Reno. (Clickety Biggety all three photos)
This was taken Saturday when I was with MonkeySocks. I like the airplane in the photo. Looks kinda weird just floating there.
This is a different fire than the one I saw Saturday. I took this Sunday with my honey after we went to see that Scary Stephen King Movie, 1408. That was a really good scary movie.
If there's one thing you should always remember though, ONE THING, it's never to wear flip flops to a scary movie. I felt entirely uneasy the whole time. Cause you know if you are ever in trouble you should have proper running shoes so you can get away with ease. *L* Don't ask me why but I always feel better when I'm prepared. Of course this could be a childhood thing. As a kid there were several years where I wore shoes, or more accurately fully dressed including shoes to bed. You know in case I had to run for some reason. Nothing worse than trying to run through the woods in a night gown and bare feet.
So yeah no flip flops even in summer if the movie is scary. Plus you don't want the floor monsters to eat your toes anyway. :P
Oh and in super exciting news Eli Roth is going to be making Stephen Kings movie Cell. *Girlish Squee!!* Granted I haven't seen his last few movies (well the Hostel Duo) due to fear of being mentally warped for the rest of my life. BUT I think he will do this well. It's a GREAT book. Heh. I hate cell phones. I only begrudgingly use one and even then I don't answer often. *L* In defense of the cell phone though I don't care for all phones. Especially a ringing phone. *icky shudders* I love coming home and seeing I have no messages. The phrase the honey and I use when there's no beep indicating a message is , "No news is good news". *L* Granted this mainly applies to work and family and a few other irritating people whom I'd rather not call me.
Oh and this was just too icky not to share. When I was south of AnnLand last week I found this nasty ass bug in my hotel bathroom. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! o.0 What the hell is it. I smashed it with the phone book. Opps. My bad for grossing up the phone book, but a MONSTER bug was in my room. *shudder* So wrong.
Double Gross. There's a hair on the floor too. *gags*
In knitting news I've decided I need to finish the Honey Socks (nearest to being complete of my sock WIPs) before I start my Traveler Socks or my other soon to be started socks. I have the yarn all picked out. Just need to finish these socks and cake the yarn. Wheeeeee!! :D
I saw this on some blog and decided to give it a go. That's way more naughty than I thought it would be. I'm not so much naughty as I don't see the harm in using cursy words. I just call it as I see it. *L*

Maybe the hair belongs to the bug.

Too much travel. And for the wrong reason, too. It's one thing if it were for FUN. Busoness travel sucks.
And that bug is NASTY!

Ick! The hair would creep me out more than the bug -- can't explain why but that's how I am.
HUGS!!!

That bug would have totally freaked me out. I'm fine with the centipedes, scorpions & huge spiders we have at our house...but that thing. Jeez.

Man, that is one big bug!
I haven't watched a horror movie since I was 12....the last one I saw traumatized me for life, hehehe. Actually, I did see the Ring and heck I was terrified of the TV for a few weeks...I am a big chicken
