Blood drinking vampire snake under your bed right now...I sense it...

Girl, I totally feel your pain. I'm terrified-absolutely-phobic of Palmetto bugs, so much so that I have to make sure all the drains in my house are always closed when not in use and that I can't have any plastic bags near where I sleep, because if I hear any crackling... I can't sleep either! *hugs* I hope you got some rest!!

Where's Rikki Tikki Tavi when you need him?

That's IT. That's the answer to all my problems. I need a pet mongoose. Thank you!

This reminds me of when I had to rescue my sister from a baby snake. Or, perhaps more fairly, had to rescue the baby snake from my sister. I was hanging out with her, watching a movie, and her cat started growling at the door. Beth went to investigate, and the next thing I know, she's freaking out: "Snake! Snake! I hate snakes!"

I sauntered over just in time to see a teensy little garden snake slither at top speed under Beth's washing machine. I got down on hands and knees and tried to fish it out, but it was properly terrified and retreated further underneath the washer.

I phoned my half-brother -- just as phobic as Beth -- and requested him to come over and help. I'm strong enough to lift the washer myself, but not acrobatic enough to lift the washer and at the same time grab a snake.

So Steve came over and lifted the washer while I grabbed the snake. Both siblings yelling bloody murder about how terrifying snakes are.

I carried the little snake deep into the woods and released it.

Now there's one snake that I'll bet never got anywhere near civilization again...!

You have such a cute accent! :-)

And I hear you about snakes. I don't mind them so much, but I feel the same way about some insects.

I love fuzzy slippers.
