They’re back....

If you don’t remember a post Melissa wrote about a month ago about our house moths you can read it here. If you do remember, they’re back...
So apparently no matter what I do getting rid of pantry moths is almost impossible. We thought we were in the clear because the house has been free of them for 3 weeks. Then Sunday morning I found a larvae in our sugar jar. No way. Are you kidding me? I even cleaned out the sugar container a month ago when Melissa and I did the first deep cleaning. As precaution I checked the shelf and area around where we keep our sugar. Found em’. Lots of em. I went through the food on the shelf and threw away another garbage bag full of food and then sanitized the whole area.
I knew the problem wasn't over but I was hoping that was the majority of it. As I left for work on Tuesday I saw a big one in the cupboard were the problem began. I freaked out and quickly killed it cause I was late for work. But of course killing one would be just too easy. I ended up killing one more as well as 2 live larvae crawling up the wall. At this point I was furious. I seriously feel like I have done everything I can think of to get rid of these little guys and they just keep coming back.
My last thought was that I need to freeze them out. I turned on the air conditioning hoping that will work. So here I am sitting in my freezing room in the middle of September hoping my moth problem will someday be gone for good...

Halloween... is coming

I was at the store tonight and there was Halloween stuff everywhere. Although I love Halloween I hate shopping for a Halloween costume. It doesn’t work for my OCD mind.... its too... scattered... unorganized... the works. However it did get me excited for Halloween. Hopefully we decide what we want to be soon. I like to be up on these things. I’m a freak about being prepared. I should have been a boy scout... always prepared.

The sad part of this is I have heard people around me become disgusted and annoyed with how early Halloween merchandise entered the stores. “Oh my goodness, Halloween isn’t for 2 more months.” Blah blah blah is all I hear because what I am really thinking is Halloween decoration in the stores means soon stores will have Christmas decorations and that puts a huge Grinch smile across my face.

Blog Phil-er

Its been forever since I have last blogged. Which I think entailed me vowing to recommit to the blogging world. Bahaha. Right! I actually couldn't remember how to post a new installment to the “daily phil up", it took me a few tries. “Daily" is definitely the wrong word for my blog because frankly I HATE to blog. I know... I know... that is blasphemy to most of you but its true. Although I love to talk and feel like I always have tons to say I really have no desire to blog about all the events in my life.

Most the time I feel like ranting about something or someone who is irritating me or have a strong opinion about. I understand the blogging world just doesn't have room for that kind of vibe in their atmosphere, but I slightly don't care.... SO if I can remember how to post again I might do just that. Mix it up a little and say it like it is... in my world anyway.

So the desire of my blog is to go from the “daily phil up” to more of a blog phil-er (filler)... just to fill the boring cracks in the world. Well at least the boring cracks in my world.
