Oh My Goodness

It wasn't just water that came out of this pump!

I had errands to run before the weekend. (I always have errands to run!) This time they were fun errands!

​My first stop was at my friend's store, Noelle Hernandez Aesthetics.
www.noellehernandezaesthetics.com She has a new line of lipsticks and had ordered a special one for me, Mocha! I know, girly, but I was super excited!

​My next stop was Beads of Marin.

​I'll be making more Cashmere necklaces in June and I love adding beads and stones to individualize each piece!

I was about to head back to the office, when The Boy called. I told him about my pump test run, how the pump wasn't strong enough, and that I was heading to the hardware store to pick up the next size up pump.

"Don't do that mom, I have pumps here that you can use!"
Such a sweet boy!

So I drove over to his house and picked up the pumps. 

"You don't have to worry about a thing," he said. "these pumps are strong and push anything thru! Even your glitter!"

"Hold on, I have one more for you" he said as he ran back into his garden. 

"You can use this one as a back up!"
It was dirtier than the others, but I didn't care. I'll only be using it as a back up. 

I drove back to my office, worked a few more hours, and then, at 5;00 I was out the door and heading over to meet my Faithful Sherpa. 

We were going away for the weekend. to the Indian Valley, for the Valley Wide Garage Sale and I couldn't wait to get there. I pulled up just behind his truck, parked the car, and grabbed the door handle to open it, when I looked at the dirty, back up pump in the center console. 

"eeewwwww," I screamed and jumped out of the car. 

The center console was filled with earwigs, crawling out from the inside of the pump! Large ones, small ones, babies, they were everywhere!

​My mind went blank as I stood there, outside of my car, frozen! 

I reached in, grabbed the plug end of the pump, and carefully pulled it out of the car and dropped it on the ground. Then I started screaming again, hands wiggling, stomping my feet on the ground,  

eeeeewwwww!!!!!

Then I looked back at the center console, and saw about 10 more earwigs crawling around inside the console, on the black tray. So I reached in again, and pulled out the black tray, careful not to let the earwigs fall, and then dropped it on the ground. 

eewwwwww, I screamed, waving my hands as I, again, started stomping the ground. eewwwwww.

What the heck was I going to do with this pump! Are they all out? I don't want to put it back in my car! I banged the pump in the ground for about 10 minutes, trying to be sure everything was out. I'm sure, nothing is going to crawl out of that again, I thought!

It took me about 30 minutes to finally calm down! I called The Boy, and told him what happened, he just laughed, a good hard laugh. "I ran the pumps to be sure they were working, I can't believe they stayed in there during that!"

​I promise you, there won't be earwigs running thru my airline tubing this weekend, only glitter! But come check it out for yourself! makerfaire.com/
