So far, August has been very work-filled, so this post probably won't be too interesting... Haha :) Last weekend, McGee went to a weekend-long bachelor party that was held in the Poconos. The groom (Kevin Juliff) is super into NASCAR, so they all went to the Poconos to go to a NASCAR event with him. They had an RV that they parked in the middle of the track, and spent the weekend hanging out and watching races. So, while McGee was hanging in the Poconos, Guinness and I had a nice quiet weekend at home. I watched a bunch of movies, went on some nice walks with Guinness, and I put together a few puzzles! I haven't done a puzzle in YEARS, and I forgot how much I enjoy it. It was a super relaxing weekend, and Guinness and I had fun hanging out. McGee also had fun even though he didn't know anything about NASCAR!
Oh my gosh you guys, I woke up one morning while McGee was gone and walked into the kitchen and heard a loud clanging like something hitting metal, so I was walking around trying to figure out what it was, and it turns out it was a HUGE spider that had gotten into Guinness's water bowl and was thrashing around and making a clanging sound every time it rammed into the side of the metal bowl. You guys, it was HUGE. And it was super angry that it was stuck in a water bowl. So I of course was SUPER FREAKED OUT, so I started pacing around the house trying to think of the best way to handle the situation. I thought about dumping it down the kitchen sink because that was close... but then I decided that was disgusting and I didn't want that thing in our kitchen sink. Then I thought about carrying the water bowl outside to dump it, but I realized there was NO way I'd be able to open all of the doors necessary to get outside without spilling the bowl everywhere, so that wasn't an option either. Then I realized the best option was flushing it down a toilet. BUT, how would I carry the bowl to the toilet without the spider crawling out (or like JUMPING ONTO MY FACE??!!)?... So, more pacing around the house. THEN I came up with the idea of putting a wet paper towel over it to kinda hold it in the water while I carried it to the toilet. It worked SO well, and I was able to dump it in the toilet without any issues. And YES I got a picture of it, in case you were worried I didn't. Keep in mind that Guinness is a big dog so his water bowl is huge. And the body of the spider was HUGE (I got a great look at it when it was being dumped into the toilet) and it was really thick, which is why it was making such a loud noise when it hit the sides of the bowl.
It looks small-ish in the picture, but seriously it was HUGE. That's a big bowl that it's in.
The day that McGee got back from the Poconos we drove up to Valley Forge (literally 5 or 10 minutes from our house) and took Guinness on a nice walk around Valley Forge! It was a little hotter than we were expecting, but it was still really nice and there were so many people there with dogs!
Last night McGee and I went to a movie! We've been wanting to see The Big Sick, and we saw that a cool old theater near us was playing it last night at a good time, and we hadn't been to that cool theater yet! The movie theater is in Phoenixville (about 20 minutes north of our house), and it actually has some cool history!! It was built in 1903, and it was featured in the amazing 1958 movie The Blob (starring Steve McQueen). There's a famous scene in the movie when The Blob is attacking the town, and everyone runs screaming from the movie theater... and this is that movie theater! Pretty cool, huh? The Big Sick was a really great movie, and it was so cool seeing the movie theater too!!
Here's the inside of the theater! So pretty.
Here's the famous scene in The Blob!
Here's a movie poster for The Blob. Simply amazing.
I hope you've all had a great week!! Congrats on making it to Friday!! Have a fun and/or relaxing weekend!!!
