I’m out in the yard working last night (huge “ahhhhhhh”) and I go to clean up.  It’s very dark, and I’m done putting the “stakes” into the weed fabric to hold them.  So, I go to grab the bag full of sharp “stakes” and – it’s moving.

Hmmm.

Well, I am outside – so there must be something crawled up in there!

So I get down on my tummy and slowly open the bag to see what kind of creature is making the bag move:

I open a little, can’t see much!

I open a bit more – jeeze those “stakes” are pertty sharp!

Then, well…

Took a bit of manuevering to get the little dude out, ’cause there were so many SHARP objects in there!  But, I guided him out and he was a happy hopper outta there!

Hi there!  I took a “tag” of sorts from Titania over at Finding Life’s Enchantments 38 Things About Me.  I’ve never been tagged for a meme and thought it would be interesting.  Well, interesting to do… not necessarily to read.  LOL  Hope you get some info…

1. Name one person who made you laugh last night?
My husband and kids when we were talking about my eyes burning… not sure why that was funny, but they sure made me giggle.

2. What were you doing at 0800?
Today at 0800 I was sitting in the waiting room while my son was in at the doctors.  I was reading something about gangs and violence in the US in one of the magizines they throw on a table there.  There are over 700,000 members of gangs in the US.  I had no idea…

3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Cancelling our arrangements to stay somewhere else other than our poor house.  We were told to vacate ’cause of the water damage and the machinery (er, sounds like an airplane is in our house getting ready to take off… “what? I can’t hear you!”).  However, the kids had mini panic attacks at the thought of staying nights in a local motel and having to leave our dog here by his little lonesome!  So here we stay… “what?  did you say something?  I can’t hear you!”

4. What happened to you in 2006?
I got married to Daniel whom I’ve known for about 17 years.  We’ve dated, er… or seen eachother on and off for um… (counting on fingers) well, since 11/2004 I suppose.  Married 5/2006.  I had been with him on dates and such when me and my ex broke up in 2002 and 2003 and prior to that… but when I was with my boyfriend we didn’t see eachother ofcourse… I’m very committed in my relationships.
