She screamed it was a giant bee. It was giant alright, approx 1.5&#8242; long and 1&#8243; wide. Its belly was rather fuzzy like midnight-black velvet. It flew confidently around like a bee does. What is it? Looks like a <span>house<\/span> fly but ten times larger.<\/p>\n<div>Took the girls thrift store gazing yesterday. So fun! We purchased tons of books&#8211;I found a 1947 Nancy Drew to add to my growing collection. Tabs found a dozen Fairy books that she loves. I also purchase a mint, solid maple side table from the 1950&#8217;s. And I found a 1950&#8217;s Canadian blown glass vase&#8211;they sell for thousands in Vancouver and I found one for $10!\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ve been hanging out at the lake everyday. The water is like warm silk on the skin. It is so hot here&#8211;approx 40 <span>oC<\/span>.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>I finished my paper&#8211;<span>woot<\/span>&#8211;<span>woot<\/span>! I&#8217;m going to get Peter to <span>proof<\/span>\u00a0it right away and send it off within minutes. To celebrate I am going to eat takeout, see a show and perhaps a coffee shop date ( I am an easy woman to please&#8212;buy me an iced <span>Americano<\/span> or unsweetened iced-tea in a hip coffee shop and I am happy.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0I am on a new workout schedule. It requires more time doing hard core workouts but less of them. I did a super long run (for me) yesterday at 6 AM but it was already too hot and I was boiling over as I ran. Today I did an early morning hike around the back of the mountain (ran into far too man older gentlemen coming from the bush&#8211;I think some of them live in there over the summer&#8211;creepy) and tomorrow it is spin class and weight <span>lifting<\/span> back to back. Oh, the joys of reworking my schedule.<\/div>\n<div>Oh, and best news yet&#8211;I can read! I can read! Finally <span>finished<\/span> classes for the summer and now I can pick up a book that I want to read for pure pleasure. So nice&#8230;reading one my Momma dropped off by Irene <span>Nemirovsky<\/span>, &#8220;Fire in the Blood.&#8221; I loved her &#8220;Suite <span>Francaise<\/span>&#8220;.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Gotta go e-mail in my paper&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This creature flew into the house the other evening much to Tabs horror.
