Notsobadday.

So I was having a pretty craptacular day, all told. A little miserable, PMSy and weepy about my ‘stuff’ and then the doorbell rang and the dogs went ape-shit and there stood a man in a UPS uniform. A nice man, who told me he had a package for me. A package that I had been tracking, previously, but had not yet checked out this morning. A package, specifically, from the inimitable Flippy.

Inside the package, underneath a bit of packing paper, was a box.

Inside that box, underneath a bit of packing paper, was..

AN ANT FARM!

Now? Now my day is significantly better because I am about to become a wickedly happy ant-dictator, which is a job I’ve longed for since childhood because I am TOTALLY sure I’ll be the best damned ant-dictator EVER.

And I love Flippy so much that if she needed to, say, borrow a kidney? I’d totally give it to her.

Mmmmmmm.. .ants.

    When you get the ants, I want to see pictures of your dictatorship. Plus, maybe a kidney to be named later. Or, if you have a spare non-herniated disk in your back that you aren’t using…well, you know.

    We are debating whether to go with the “buy the ants and have them delivered” method or the “dig ‘em up in the garden” method. It’s a much harder decision than you’d think. (Or, maybe we just like to overthink things.. You know?)

    If I could send you the disk, I totally would. I mean, I’m not going to be moving once the ants are in there – I’ll be staring at them all day, teaching them how to take over the world for me. :)

    Are garden ants the same kind of ants as those that are delivered? I know nothing about ants. But soon, you will fill me in on everything ants.

    By the way, I can’t believe they charged you for customs. It was totally under the limit, even if they counted shipping. Demand your money back.
