Next year dude. It's going to be awesome!

I flew in from LA yesterday.
In front of me in line at the checkout, was a guy flying to Hilo. And as part of his checked luggage, he had a 5 foot box with a pre-lit artificial Christmas Tree in it. 
I thought, "that's a little late."

I hope he's not going to put that up as soon as he got home. 
Leave it in the box dude. I know you got a good deal and it's really tempting when people haven't taken their trees down yet. But you must be patient.

I get it; it's hard to get things in Hawaii some times.

I myself am checking a box with a garden composter in it. 

And I'm bringing this back. 
With all of the rain we've been having, the mosquitoes are on the attack. 

So now we have a princess bed.

P.S. Beth's giving me a hard time about the "next year" technically December 2009 would be THIS year. Fine you're right, are you happy? It's still a year away.

I haven't really had to deal with the "skeeters" in some time, living in California, but I lived in the South and the Midwest for half my life, and that net would have been a GODSEND. Those things eat me alive for some reason.

And Beth's right about Christmas 09 being this year. But it doesn't feel like 09 to me yet.

I still have to get used to saying this year also. I'm probably going to screw up my checkbook with writing 2008 on all my checks. LOL!!

Great idea about the net.

Be thankful that you have a dog and not a cat with that bed set up... I learned the hard way when my two cats played Starsky and Hutch around the bedroom and ripped mine to shreds.

Man I need a princess bed. The mosquitos in Illinios are pretty damn bitchy! We have all the humidity of a tropical island but none of the beauty. blah.

Have a Happy New Year!

Roberta said...

OMG!!! I hate mosquitos!!!
Try to fix the net a little better though... if you leave it like that they can get inside too easily!!! ;D

Robbi said...

Love the tree story!!!
Hopefully he waits!LOL!!

Love the net...
Not only do they help with keeping critters out. It look's cool!

Happy New Year.

Seeing that bed reminds me of how my grandma would wish me good night...

"Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the mosquitoes bite."

She lived in the tropics, so it made perfect sense.

As for the Christmas tree, my family has always kept the tree up until the feast of The Epiphany (Jan 6 for those readers asking "When's that?")

Jorge,

Happy New Year! In Canada today its about 10 degrees. Mosquitos aren't a problem!

psdrummin said...

I guess mosquitos can't fly over the top of the bed??

plinnell said...

I just wanted to point out to the posters above that the net goes across the top also, so the mosquitos cannot get in that way.

I need one of those for my bed because I live in Louisiana. I have 3 small dogs and they would probably mess it up though.

Dear Jorge!

Belated Merry X-Mas! Have great new year full of inspiration and overwhelming twists of the screenplay :-)

I suppose you needed a second composter for all the PUMPKINS

We have a cabin on "Mosquito Alley Truck Trail". I only use deep woods off is the best. Although, I got an email that says Bounce Dryer sheets repels bees, yellow jackets, and mosquitoes, I have never tried it though. Also, have heard something like Listerine repels them too. Got to love the internet.
