the intruder...

I heard the doggie door and knew the dogs were inside... the boys went over to investigate and this is what I found!


He hopped from the doggie door to this location where I snapped his picture...

Then here....
and it was as tho he was making a B-line for the pantry!!

I had to hit the floor a few times to keep him from actually going INTO the pantry... *shudder*

I called a friend to ask what the heck I was supposed to do with this frog in my house. Her daughter called back and suggested that I get a broom and tupperware and send him outside.. I opted against the tupperware due to his size, and opened the door and used the broom to show him the door. I put the cover on the doggie door and I hope he's found his way elsewhere...



*cringe*
and that's the excitement of the evening... I will be looking into things to keep frogs and toads out of my yard tomorrow....
ICK.

some catching up...

it's been a week since "moving day", and we're getting settled in slowly, but surely. I handed over the keys to the old house on Shawnee on Wednesday and have been enjoying the weight off of my shoulders from that. This house has a lot to do yet before I call it 'done', but we're making progress. I shouldn't say 'we', as the dogs are just putting dog hair everywhere, but it's getting there. I have a TON of work in the garage yet, but I'm taking it a little bit at a time .

I bought a new laptop recently too. My old one was given to me in 04 when I went to UO for the year... it was time to get a new one. The old had been on it's way out for a while now... I'm happy for the new "toy". I'll be using it mainly for my grad school classes, which start on MONDAY!!!! EEK!

On that thread, I can hardly believe that classes start on Monday. I don't have my texts yet, but have started shopping for them. Better late than never! :) I have three classes this semester. Wish me luck! :)

Have you ever had an experience that totally blew your mind? Totally made you step back and think about things and question what you knew as reality? I'm experiencing that currently, and boy let me tell you... it really makes me reflect back and question a lot of things. I won't go into details to spare the innocent, (or not so innocent I guess) but suffice it to say, I'm now questioning a lot of things that happened in a certain time period in my life.

I have taken some pictures but haven't had a chance to put them up yet, since the computer is not really set up yet how I'd like it to be. The laptop is making it easier to put that chore off tho ;-)

Gonna go relax a bit with the dogs and then back to the grind of unpacking and hauling not so light boxes upstairs ;-)
