I think it's gonna be a GOOD day!!!

But- a turn for the worse- BF ate the lo mein leftovers I had planned on for dinner.

Surely this is a good thing in disguise - he owes you dinner now.

Unfortunately, he's at work till 3 AM...I live so far from anything, once I get home, I never go back out, usually.

[Nanci]

Even better! What I thought was "Shop Girl" is really the first season of Grey's Anatomy!" I know nothing about this series, except I like the chick that was in "Sideways."

_And_ I went outside to hunt dinner for the turtle, and found 26 pillbugs, 5 crickets, and, finally, the mother lode of slugs! Fagalo is so happy now!

Nanci- You remind me of our friend Jen. She's a vet and is always saving something. She has a friend that lives out here who rescues turtles.
I was thinking of you today when I saw all the lizards. It's so funny how I think lizards are cute, but I hate snakes?? I dunno... Maybe cause I know that the snakes we have here are mostly rattlesnakes??
Oh, on my run the other morning I saw a huge tarantula. They used to creep me out, but now I think they are cool when I see them in the wild. Though I don't have much desire to ever touch one. They are like big black fur balls.

Ah, but Nanci, he doesn't have to pay up tonight. You can sucker him with it some day when you really can't be bothered cooking.

Hehe, just wait til you come in after a hard competition at midnight, have to get up at 5 for the second day, all you want to do is get a good few hours of sleep in, and through your sleepy eys spot a huge freaking tarantula on your bed!!! (or wall, as in another night) Don't worry, they both were let back out into the wild. I was just thoroughly checking the bed for a few days.

[Nanci]

I had a pet tarantula when I was in high school, but I was never _really_ comfortable handling her. I think it would be interesting to see them in the wild, though. Here we have the banana spiders and the golden orb spiders, which make webs so tough you can actually bounce off one, walking, and if you MTB through one, the spider _always_ ends up clinging to the edge of your helmet as you swerve wildly trying to remove her. I'll take rattle snakes any day- at least they either stay put or cross the trail and are gone...

The worst thing to wake up and find on the wall is a giant roach!

The worst thing I ever woke up to was rats fighting inside the wall right next to my head. Would never have guessed they could squeal that loud!
