All this blog talk about pets has really come back to haunt me. I have been wishing for a street kitten and speaking kindly of Leah's goldfish. Well - tonight I was shocked by a pet of my own.........A BABY LIZARD! About 2.5 cm in length, this small freaky creature surprised me as I was emptying my purse in an effort to tidy up. Phil came to the rescue and released the beast in the backyard, although this whole occurrence has left me with some questions.....
1) Why clean? Every time I do it, something gross, unattractive, or ALIVE comes out to play.
2) Do lizards travel in pairs? Dana says NO - which I find both happy and sad; Happy because I shouldn't find another and sad because the poor lizard moves through life alone.
3) Isn't "nature" an outdoors thing? Because I was really starting to warm up to Mother N...
4) Where was Oscar through it all?!
5) How did Phil and Dana find this whole experience "neat"?
6) How am I going to manage the next 1.5 months knowing that a teenie monster may be lurking in every nook and cranny of the apartment?
welcome to my life!! i dont' mind looking at lizards...when they are OUTSIDE. they do not belong inside with ME! they also need to stay away from my personal belongings! how can we get these lizards to read the memo???
