Rabbits, Scorpion and a Date, Oh My!

First of all, although I am not in anyway a Toby Keith fan due to a personal experience after meeting the jerk, although it happened well over 10 years ago when I worked for a casino in Jackson, CA, it was enough to keep a lasting-bad taste impression on me.  But still I have to say that I like the song, Red Solo Cup.  Just needed to get that out since it just came on the radio.

Okay, now to the post at hand.....

Rabbits.... these lil' shits are causing mother some major issue.  Every time the grass starts to grow, these guys come along and eat it back down to nothing.  She has tried a fence, she has tried deterrent suggestions and even chases them off (which is rather hilarious at times since the leader of the pack just glares at her).  Anyway, this is a picture of just 3 of the 5 that frequent the yard.

Scorpion.... this guy or gal literally gave me the worse case of the willies... It was found just above the door in the garage that leads into the house.  That sucker could have dropped on me and I would have been in traction as I ran all over the place, arms flailing, etc... ewwwwwwwwwwww....

A date....  So the dinner date with my new friend went rather well.  Although he picked the restaurant, it was only after getting my input on the type of food I liked, he already knew that I liked Mexican but asked for an alternate.  We ended up going to De Marco's, the Italian Restaurant here in town.

After hanging out and talking at the restaurant for a bit, we headed over to a local bar that was what I consider the perfect atmosphere for me, several people inside and music playing, but not to the point where we couldn't hear each other during our conversations.

After hanging out there and playing a few games of pool, we broke even and agreed to break the tie next time.  I am quite happy to say that he was okay with me wanting to just have a friend to do things with right now.  So on Sunday, he is joining us for breakfast, he already knows my parents so he said there is no nerves to be frayed on meeting the parents... lol!

He brought me home just short of 10:00pm, he didn't want the parents getting worried about me, plus he has to work in the morning.  So all in all, it was a great night.
