Ahhh...SNAKE!!

Yesterday there was some excitement at my house. I went outside to get the mail and on my way back, i saw this baby snake in my driveway. At first i thought it was just a really big worm, but then took a closer look at it and then i realized it was baby snake. When i realized that it was indeed a snake, i screamed and ran inside. Keep in mind that no one else was home at the time.

So i went inside and instant messaged one of my roomies cause i didn't know what to do. So i thought about killing it but didn't know and didn't know if i even had enough courage to actually go back out there and kill it. I went back out to see if it had moved and was alive....and it had coiled up more...and was indeed alive. So i went back in and messaged my roomie...and started thinking about ways to kill it. The problem was i didn't to crush it with my shoe cause then there would be snake guts on my shoe...but i didn't have anything else to kill it with. So i had to be really creative.... I thought that if i took the trash can and rolled over it with the wheel...it would hopefully do the job. Well that's exactly what i did. I went back outside and ran it over with the trash can wheel. It was really gross but it killed it.

I still can't believe i did that. That was my excitement for the day. Hopefully nothing like that will happen today or any time soon. I think i had enough of that kind of excitment for awhile.

A nice quiet morning

Well this morning was a nice a quiet morning except for that i was awaken by the sounds of people cutting down trees across the street. They've been working on my street this week and trimming the trees that are by the power lines. I didn't think they would be working this early in the morning...it had to be around 7am. So instead of sleeping in like i wanted to i decided that i might as well get up.

I got up and went out to the living room, cause the noise isn't that bad out there. I laid on the couch hopeing to fall asleep. then this big thunder storm came through. The thunder was so loud that it was shaking the house and scareing one of my roommates dogs.. Doc doesn't like thunderstorms. Well after the storm calmed down some, i walked out on the deck and saw that we had a rushing river flowing through our yard. We have a ditch that goes along the side of our yard, all the way through it. And it really looked like a river...it was crazy. But once the storm passed and the sun came out...it only took a few hours for the river to dry up.

So that was the excitement for today.
