Funny Story about a Palmetto Bug
So I've just moved back to Florida, and I know what to expect when it comes to humidity, traffic and gigantic flying insects. Since I have been back, I haven't had the pleasure of encountering a Palmetto Bug, until tonight. For those of you who don't know, a Palmetto bug is like a giant roach, and when I say giant, I mean it. These things are like 3 or 4 inches long, and they FLY. So, they run around, until you piss them off by trying to swat, squash, or otherwise shoo them away, and then they fly, usually at your face.
I'm here with my step-brother's two girls, 13 and 7, and my son who's 2. My son talks a bunch and smiles a lot, but hasn't yet found too many reasons to giggle his pants off. So I ask the 13 year old what she does when her dad's not home and a gigantic roach is running around the walls. She thinks she's going to save me, until she sees it! Now there are 3 of us running around the house screaming, while my son is standing in one spot, laughing his little butt off.
So I'm running for a glass to trap it, some roach spray to kill it, or anything I can find to immobilize this giant, disgusting insect until I can figure out just what to do. A shoe? Well, the thing is, these things are SO big that if you squish them on the wall, the spot of guts never goes away. I'm not even kidding. Just nasty. And the thing is, I'm not generally squeamish. I can take snakes, caterpillars, mice, and even giant spiders. All those things are neat. I don't do Palmetto bugs.
So my son is just losing it with laughter, the three of us girls are jumping around, I appoint myself the hero and go after it with spray. It flies. I scream. My son laughs. Multiply that scenario by about 4, and then it finally escapes the room I'm in to the living room. Now girls are locking themselves in bathrooms, I'm jumping around on furniture, and my son is still standing in one spot, laughing hysterically.
Finally, it disappears. Well, good. No, not good. If we can't see it, that means it will show up at any other unknown period of time, in any other unknown room. That's really just no fun. It finally runs out of it's hiding spot. The 7 year old points and screams. I chase it. I spray it. Multiply this scenario by about 4 and finally we have a dying insect, out in the open, right where I can finally trap it in a glass and chuck it outside.
OMFG those things are nasty.

Light Workers Facing Challenges Right Now
Before I get into this post, I'd like to let you know that your Zany Zodiacs horoscopes for May 10th thru May 16th, 2009 have been updated and are posted at zanyzodiacs.com. Thank you for your continued support!
I've heard, from many different sources, that people considered to be 'light workers' are experiencing some really heavy challenges right now. Fortunately, I've been making more healthy connections, as far as friends go, and many of these wonderful people I've recently met are somehow psychically inclined, or spiritually wired, as I've recently been dubbed.
If you have been working on your psychic growth, spiritual enlightenment, and path to awakening by watching The Secret
, practicing the Law of Attraction, meditating, or any other activities that you deem to be 'spiritual' you may be facing hard times as well. If you are, please read on and I'll share some advice.
Of my many friends who are also light workers, everyone is facing hard times right now. Whether it's financial, emotional, spiritual or otherwise, we are all being put to some pretty heavy tests. Do you know why? Don't forget, we are on the cutting edge of something huge. We have either been chosen, or have opted to be on the forefront of the massive shift in consciousness that will take place very soon on this planet. In fact, it's already shifting and our huge tests and life problems are so large right now because we are paving new roads and spreading the joy of independent thought. We are the leaders, my friends. We are lighting the way for the rest of the world.
It's not easy being a leader. Ask anyone in a leadership position. Being a leader means having lots of experience, gaining much insight, and solving huge problems. How would we ever be able to lead without first truly understanding how to guide others through tough times?
So, let down your guard a bit. Light Workers, our time is now. We will prevail and we will succeed. Once our trials are lifted, we will see everything through new eyes. Expect your greatest desires to be manifested while you assist others along the path that YOU have paved to abundance.
I love you all!

Win a Trip, Win $1500, Make $10,000+ per Month!
Want to win a trip? How about $1500 cash? Imagine if you could win one of these fantastic prizes AND change your life forever in the process??
Wouldn't you like to tell your boss to KiSS OFF? Wouldn't you like to start earning money the easy way? I mentioned this program to a friend of mine and she signed up immediately saying, 'Anyone with any brains would see how easy this is and give up all the hard word. It's 10 bucks!!'
KiSS is a fantastic affiliate program. For $10 (plus shipping) you get KiSS Mints and signed up into the newest phase of affiliate marketing called VELOCITY MARKETING! You get $1 for everyone who signs up under you, and 50 cents each for everyone who purchases KiSS Mints. You get 50 cents each for all the people under you down 9 levels. Some quick math on that:
You sign up 3 people and they each get 3 people, down 9 levels. You're making over $14,000 per month. Get your calculator, do the math. If you get more than that, you can make more than that. So if you're a little less excited, or a little less motivated, you can see how perfectly SIMPLE it would be to make $500-$1000 a month. KiSS is AWESOME and I'm so excited to share the new promotion with you.
The contest is called One-Two KiSS. It runs from May 1st, 2009 thru June 30th, 2009. For every person you signup into the KiSS affiliate program, help them each get two people. Each time you accomplish this you'll get ONE POINT, plus an entry into the grand prize drawing.
On June 30th, the top 5 people with the most POINTS each get $100 cash. But, it gets better. The contest prizes for the drawing are as follows:
Grand Prize, your choice of:
$1500 cash or
Sleepless in Seattle (trip to Seattle) or
You've Got Mail (trip to New York) or
Never Been Kissed (trip to Chicago) or
1st Runner up, your choice of:
$500 cash or
Fools Rush In (trip to Las Vegas)
2nd Runner up, your choice of:
$250 cash or
KiSS Gift Basket and prizes
So, the bottom line is this: The above promotion is just an added bonus on top of all the easy money you can make with this program. If you're ready to cash in on the trillions and gazillions of dollars that float around the planet every second, this is one way to do it. It's easy, it's fun, you get mints, and it won't break the bank. If you don't have 10 bucks, well, it sucks to be you. If you can scrape 10 bucks together to join KiSS and start sharing the program details with everyone you see, you could be making $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 a month in no time. WhOO I'm excited.
