Picture this.

5 am and a grumpy redhead with hair resembling something out of a horror movie trudges to a sparsely lit kitchen, pours iced tea into her favorite glass slooooooooowly so as not to spill it all over the counter.

At this time the grumpy redhead is working on a plotting problem involving a hot sexy demon and his soon-to-be target…in more ways than one.  This brings a smile to the redhead’s face.  Her fingers ITCH to type on the keyboard.

She trudges, with a slightly lighter step and less sour expression toward her Writing Cave.  The redhead sets her glass down on the coaster and wiggles her fingers.  It was time to get to work.  When her blurry eyes opened to see the keys in order to her fingers properly (the ridges on the “f” and “j” keys have been worn away by years of sweet tapping) she notices something horrific.

Ants.

All over her keyboard.  She gasps.  Dear sweet chocolate gods, there were ANTS ON HER KEYBOARD!!!!  Not only her keyboard, ladies and gentlemen, all OVER HER DESK.  And the floor.  And the rest of the office.

You see, it appears ANTS in this part of Texas don’t like to GET WET so they look for dry and WARM areas to hole up in.  All this from the nice exterminator I spoke with over the phone.  So it appears I had bugs in my system.  LOL.

I have been INVADED.  Not by little green men or anything else interesting…No, I’ve been invaded by ANTS.  THIS is why I haven’t been online as much as I’d like. I couldn’t run the risk of ants gumming up the guts (technical term LOL) of the laptop.  So I was writing on the ASUS and working on fumigating the office and inner sanctum. I have missed you all. 

This tongue-in-cheek post brought to you by…ME.
