when you go, would you have the guts to say

I don't love you like I loved you yesterday

Yesterday I braved the horror that is Walmart on a weekend afternoon. Blergh. Widget wanted new shoes (and Target failed) and Mums needed something from the pharmacy, so away we went.

Walked away with entirely different shoes than the kind Widget went in wanting (they didn't have any in his size) and a pair for Mums. I snagged the last three MLP blind bags they had and ended up with Cherry Fizz, Lily Blossom, and Holly something or other who is so insanely named because the something or other has about as much to do with her cutie mark as Holly. (It's a strawberry. Wtfuzzy?)

Came home and proceeded to experiment with Diatomaceous earth to see if this'll help keep the flea population down this year. The dogs seemed to enjoy their puppy massages with it and at the moment the only downside seems to be the cloud of dust that I knew would happen. (The actual flea meds seem to anger the fleas, not kill them. Except for Ozzie who had her fur burn off and that's a questionable trade-off at best.)

Fingers crossed.




And in news that should have surprised absolutely no one, ever, MCR broke up:

I still think that video is fabulous.

And if you were a doll person at the time, odds are good you remember the 9-billion or so Helena dolls/customs/Works in Progress.

The one-two punch of AFI's Decemberunderground and MCR's The Black Parade probably made my brother actively wish my stereo would die but it made me quite happy.

Can't really say I recommend the video, but Famous Last Words was probably one of my favorite songs of theirs.

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone

Borax works really well with controlling fleas. Get regular Borax powder (not the laundry kind) and sprinkle it on the floor around the edges of your rooms. You can also sprinkle it all over the carpet and vacuum it up, but around the edges just leave it to settle into the cracks. The powder dehydrates the areas it touches which basically drys up the fleas. It's not harmful to your pets because they won't be able to get at it. This was recommended to us by our vet and it's worked so far. We still vacuum regularly and we do give our cats Advantage flea medication when needed because the Borax isn't 100% effective. But it helps a lot. It also has the added benefit of making the room smell fresher because drying up dampness in the floor means less mold/mildew/mustiness in general.
