This morning I most certainly did not forget that there is wildlife in urban California as, on the end of my run, I almost tripped over a SNAKE and jumped about 3 feet straight up in the air! Of course if a snake did cause me to jump into the air from fright it would be because it was a giant man-eating anaconda, and not a helpless little garter snake. ugh. wuss.
A moment after passing said GIANT MONSTER, I definitely did not remember that HEY! I am a brave woman. Hey I have BOYS. I am a TEACHER. I grew up with a snake loving brother and we had Pythons for heaven's sake. I held them all the time! I should go back and get him!! I would never have turned around and looked for the snake and thought about taking him home, regardless of the fact that I was no where near my car and had nothing to bring it home in. Anything for an educational experience right?? I was not considering just taking off my long-sleeved shirt and tying up the arms, etc. to bring him home in.
Thank goodness I didn't find him. I may be a brave woman, but I am still a woman and what if he had gotten out in the car?? SHRIEK!
On my way home I definitely did not run over 2 birds in the middle of my lane. There's not much more to say about that one.
If I had, tragically and unfortunately run over 2 birds on my way home, in an unavoidable fashion, I most certainly would not have looked in my rearview mirror at the CLOUD of feathers and thought about how sad it was, and then thought: "but man, I LOVE this song, and I never hear it on the radio! I'll just enjoy the song and then be sad about the birds."
Do you think I am an awful person yet? If "yes". please stop reading.
If "no", feel free to continue.
I didn't...ummm..... search for a picture of bird feathers in a cloud because I like to illustrate my blog, using searches like "dead birds" "flying cloud of bird feathers" and "run over bird".
I'm not sad that I didn't find a good shot of the feather bomb that must have gone off, in the window of the car behind me.
After enjoying my song.... I didn't forget about the birds. You know, from 2 minutes before.
And I'm not way more concerned that you guys are going to judge me for liking loving country music than for killing 2 birds.
whew. I feel a little lighter! Small animals of Oakland, beware! I might go to the grocery store later!

I'm glad I'm not the only one dealing with critters. I went to open the blinds this morning and out jumped a spider. I did not contemplate over whether to kill it and open the blinds or let it be and just turn on the light. I HATE SPIDERS! I decided I needed a little natural light and got toilet paper to smoosh him. I was so glad my gag reflex did not kick in!
As far as driving, I don't have problems with wildlife, only my husbands car and our trash cans.
ROFLMAO!!!
WOW! :) I love how you write exactly how you have a conversation.....
what was the song?
