MAN REPELLANT

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. I'm standing here outside your door... "

Ok, confession: my bags aren't even remotely close to being packed and I am definitely not standing outside your door because I am not a creepy stalker. Speaking of creepy stalkers, however, let me tell you my plan to keep them away. But first, my life in a nutshell.

The past four days have been a complete blur. Somewhere in the last 96 hours, I have done the following things:

-Drove to Spokane and back
-Greeted numerous family and friends
-Get completely surprised by my friend Julie showing up to see me.
-Drove to the local lake to swim 3 times.
-Transported a half of a pig in my trunk.
-Rubbed that same pig with spices.
-Watched that same pig get smoked over a smouldering fire for over ten hours.
-Hugged 50 or so people goodbye.
-Cried with Julie when she left.
-Ate delicious potato salad.-Set off fireworks.
-Slolom Skiied on a smooth lake
-Started packing
-Got baptized in the waters of South Twin Lake.
-Watched my Mother and Brother do the same.
-Spent quality time with 3 of my siblings.

you get the idea...

In my SPARE time (which was very little) I brainstormed two great lines of defense to help guard me from the above mentioned creepy stalkers, weirdos, or (cough) over-zealous men. Here they are:

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE:

That's right, my old wedding ring is getting put back on the old ring finger as man deterrent. Hopefully it weeds out most if not all of random men who are looking for someone new to entertain them.

SECOND LINE OF DEFENSE:

Pepper spray (for the persistent).

I'll let you know how it works out.
