Snakes Alive!!!!

I am in no way a drama queen, but today apparently this side of me, that I didn't know I had just came right out of me.

I decided to work on the spare room by putting away the boxes that we were going to use to move to Portland, Oregon, but didn't end up using. And then I was going to make the bed that I sometimes sleep in, when I'm having a tough night or need the overhead fan on to keep cool. So in my scan of the room, I thought I'd make the bed first. I tossed the blankets to the ground and then began gathering the sheet bedding, but in doing so I caught something in the corner of my eye. I looked over again...And there near one of the blankets was a foot long snake skin. AAAWWWKKK! I just freaked out. My first thought is where is the snake that used to live in that skin, and secondly, I had been sleeping in that bed the last couple of nights and that just made me freak out even more.

Oh, if it had been a tarantula, I may have freaked out also, but if it had been just a plain ol' spider it wouldn't have meant much to me. Usually, they bite me in the night anyways, so I know they are out to get me. BUT a snake...???

I just detest snakes of all kinds. I don't like them in the pet stores, I don't like them in the museum, I don't even like pictures of them, and I wouldn't eat green eggs and ham with one either. They are just gross to me.

Our friend, Don, has a Boa Constrictor and I will not touch or get near her. I don't make a big deal out of it but I just won't get near her.

But wondering if there is a snake in the house is just freakin' me out and Michael, usually home, is up in Paradise working and I had to ichat with him to let him know what was happening at home.

It was pretty funny and stupid of me to be such a drama queen about it. But I am home now, after having been gone for a couple of hours, so as not to deal with the snake issue. But the spare room door is still closed and I have no idea if there is a snake in there or not.

Anyways, I told Michael that our friend, Don, needs to come over and take care of this snake, if there is one... Let's hope not.

So that is the newest, overly dramatic adventure in my day.
