I'm off to the home improvement store to buy some new tools. Need to trim some tall trees in my back yard. (Not to fear, I won't be getting a chainsaw...yet!) When the yard dries, it's a date with my weed wacker and lawn mower. Who knew a diva did lawn maintenance???

Other developments... Had 2 dates with a guy that I thought was really interesting. Then I heard from an ex of his (mutual friend) some things that I didn't necessarily believe, but was going to keep under consideration. (You know, there's always the bitter ex version!) Then, out of the blue, I got a VERY odd voicemail from him. Rather nasty tone to it. Putting her comments and his own behavior together ---> leads me to be concerned. I'm a little jumpy anyway because I had a stalker in the past. I let him pick me up at my house on the 2nd date, so he knows where I live. And I'm about a mile away from him, so it's all too convenient.

SheSpecies and I were discussing things - I don't have a gun. Or a taser (I made the joke that I'd accidentally reach for that instead of a toy and shock myself to hell).

So she said I needed a baseball bat. Now my question is - do I get wood or aluminum? It would be awfully nice to hear that "ping" of the aluminum bat on his head if he misbehaves....

Update: Bats are too damn expensive... I think I'll get a machete.
