These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

Second post before noon? Wow!

Can you guess what greeted me in the shower this morning?






It was about four inches long. I swear the legs were longer than these look. Ick! I didn't know it is possible to drown a centipede, but since I wasn't going to pick it up, even in tissue or something, I tried it. It worked! Again, ick!

Gee, you all have a great day, alright?!?!?

:)

Yeah ...

... Life is (still) beautiful!!!

  4. Jenster - I've heard stories about millipedes that are really big in the area of Lovington (or Loving, I'm not sure) that "stampede" at certain times of the year. Is that a fish story? I was told they run across the highway and actually can be heard! shudder!!

    Patti - I'm not crazy about any of them, but I don't freak out ... usually. This one just grossed me completely. ptooey!!!

    Casey - YEAH!! What YOU said!!!

  9. I would have screamed.
    And then washed it down the drain, having nightmares of it crawling back up while I was shampooing my hair and my eyes were closed.
    EEK !

  10. Oh PA-LEEZE...I'd STILL be passed out somewhere if I saw that thing in my shower. I don't do bugs of ANY kind. Actually, Trae is a pretty lucky guy because it's enough for me to accept ANYthing with over 2 legs!!!

    I'm a sissy, what can I say? LOL

  11. Annie - I tried that ... it was too big to go down the drain cover!! shiver.

    Dawn - I'm not uneasy about too many things, but this was certainly one of the ones on the list!!
