Got home from Mb's this afternoon and found A SNAKE in the middle of my kitchen floor. Yellow, about a foot and a half long. I used a sponge mop to pin it down, and picked it up with a pair of tongs (which I'll never be able to use for food serving again!) and flung it out the front door. What next, a bear in the bathtub?!

We're having canasta tonight, as J is busy tomorrow and Mb has something going on Saturday. Mb has contributed cheese and crackers, I've got a beef summer sausage, and I'm going to run by Publix for a beverage.

Had several odd dreams last night, THREE of which were about shopping. First I was trying on dresses, one midnight blue, one deep violet. Then there was one where I tried on a pair of apple green Kate Spade shoes---which I know damned well they don't make in size 12!---and finally, trying on beaded necklaces in a thrift store with GK and a gal from church. You can tell I'm frustrated about my finances when I'm shopping in my sleep!

More when I can....

Ah well, at least shopping in your sleep is cheap!

I'm not freaked out by snakes....but then again, you really only find garter snakes naturally where I live, so I'm sure that's a factor...

When I told her about it, Mb Googled yellow snakes and we decided it was a yellow rat snake. Which isn't bad, since Florida *does* have venomous snakes, and I've already had a spider bite to deal with---don't need any snakebites, no thanks!

Cheap but ephemeral---nothing new has appeared in my closet. Thank goodness for GK's CARE packages!

Yikes! I can see why snakes would freak you out, then....

I love snakes - they're fascinating to me - but NOT IN MY KITCHEN! Go you! for handling it so efficiently!

Don't know how efficient it was---I was so rattled, I forgot I stick something in the fridge. Fortunately, it survived!

I still miss my Western King Snake a bit, but I would certainly freak out if I had a random encounter with an unidentified reptile, especially in your semi-tropical neck of the woods.

Yeah, if it had been something immediately recognizable like a python, it wouldn't have freaked me out as much, but the mystery fauna is definitely a Florida drawback!
