How I did it
It made me
carpe diem 
How I did it: I knew the day was coming. I mean, I had seen 7-7-07 and 8-8-08 come and go. (Wow, has it really been over two years since the Summer Olympics where the Chinese enjoyed the luck of 8 for their Opening Ceremony?) I'm not into numerology, but I just liked how I could make this a fun thing with 10-10-10, especially with this being a Sunday. It's also a holiday weekend for me, with Columbus Day being observed where I work. So … Read how I did it…
It made me
Relieved
How I did it: A few months ago, one of my molars (which has had a filling for decades) started being extremely sensitive to cold and sweetness (like ice cream). My short term solution involved keeping any cold sweet substances (like ice cream) away from that tooth. My regular dentist refilled the cavity, but that didn't help, so my dentist sent me to an endodontist. I had the root canal procedure this past Friday. I was in the chair for over an hour. I… Read how I did it…
It made me
Delighted
How I did it: I waited to do this before going to the grocery store. That way the fridge wasn't so full. This past week I had been throwing out old food, so that part of the task was already done. I got a set of rags, half that would be damp, the other half saved as dry rags. I filled a tub with slightly soapy warm water. Starting with the top shelf, I removed items from the shelf. I wiped the shelf with a wet rag and then I used a dry rag. Then … Read how I did it…

If it was summer, I’d steer clear of this wasps’ nest, making sure that I didn’t incite the fury of the residents within.
Does anyone know about nests like this one? I’d like to know the answers to these questions (yes, I know the answers are on the Internet, somewhere; I’m just wondering if we have some experts right here to help me out):- First off, is it wrong that I’m calling them wasps? Are they really hornets (or something else)?
- Are the wasps in a state of hibernation right now, inside this?
- How the heck did the paper-like shell get created? I guess those wasps secrete the substance (ewwww).
- Is it common that this nest is in a tree in the Midwest? I have not seen this before! I’ve only seen nests under the eaves of buildings. This is in a tree down the block from me. I was driving along one day last week and for a moment I thought a child’s ball was stuck in the tree somehow. This nest is that round, like a ball.
