Oh The Horror!

I am a murderer! I shot a raccoon tonight that was lurking around the barn. So weird!!!! What have I become????? Even weirder, I don't really feel that bad. I am protecting my girls so everything is fair game. It's Joe's fault though, he told me to do it.

The Mighty Hunter

I stocked up on ammo today, put on my coveralls, and set out for the hunt. I started out lying on the ground close to where the chicken massacre took place. I was lying on a decline, so it wasn't very comfortable and I couldn't get my rifle in the proper position. Not to mention the mosquitoes kept buzzing my head. Change of plans, I figured I would go to Bryan's deer stand. Not a big fan of heights. I climbed up anyway and sat down. No wonder hunters sit perfectly still, there is no where to move. I got myself situated and the hunt was on. I researched a little last night and found out that if you make animal distress calls, it will (hopefully) attract the coyote. They actually make all kinds of devices you can use to make sounds, but being the thrifty girl that I am I figured I would use my mouth instead of buying an expensive gadget. One sound you can make is a kissing sound. That is supposed to simulate a mouse in distress. So here I am, twenty feet up in the air making kissing noises. I did that so long that my lips started to chap. Then I decided that I would make chicken noises since that is what attracted them in the first place. I only did that for a little while because it made me giggle. I had to go back to the kissing noise. I sat until dark without seeing a thing. I can definitely see the appeal of hunting though. You get to wear neat clothes and have lots of cool accessories and sit and enjoy nature. It is hard for me though to sit in one place that long. I kept wishing I took my DS with me. I'll try again tomorrow.

Digital Converter

Yes, Joe and I still own regular TV sets. They are all probably over 15 years old. My theory is that once the digital conversion goes into effect, most everyone will have bought new TV sets so the demand will be down and the price will go down. However, in the mean time we will have to get a digital converter. No big deal, I sent for the $40 coupons. The first time I went to purchase the converter they were out of them at Walmart. They were even out online. I waited awhile and kind of forgot about it. I was at Walmart yesterday and they had them in stock. I purchased them and when it was time for the coupon amount to be credited, it didn't work. "Oh, your coupons expired." "What!!!!" Are you kidding me? Leave it to the government to do something stupid like that. There is a deadline for when this conversion will take place so why not make that when the coupons expire. If there is a reason for this stupidity, I would love to know what it is.

Fowl Play

Three of my girls have become the victims of fowl play. Sometime between the hours of 4pm and 8pm they went missing. Unlike when Sugar disappeared leaving no evidence, I found a trail of feathers. It was dark when I began searching so I will have to resume tracking in the morning. I would say it's a 95% probability that it was a coyote. I have always said that I could never hunt, unless the animal pissed me off. Well, I'm pissed off, so watch out coyotes I'm coming for you!

Are you happy now?

Ok Sarah, I added your blog back to my list, but you have to write at least once a week.

I have a girl crush on Chelsea Handler. Not that I want to have sex with her or anything, I would just like to hang out with her. She is hilarious!!!! She says what most people think and she doesn't apologize for it. If you've never watched her show, you have to check it out. Chelsea for President!

New Look

I had to update my blog a little bit. It's like everything else in my life, I need to shake it up every once in awhile. It keeps your brain more active if you don't do the same things all the time. I wonder if I move Joe's chair and he doesn't pay attention, he'll sit on the floor? I'll let you know.
