It has certainly been a strange and somewhat adventurous two weeks! And, that, dear reader, is why I am behind on postings. Bear with me.. or should I say we will snake our way around this story? Bad puns, and I apologize now for any others that might leak into this post.
Last weekend was the weekend of the Rapture. As you know, during the Rapture, those of us who were deemed worthy were to be taken above, naked (or is that nekkid?) to be rewarded for our goodness. I am not good.. at least not in the traditional sense. I am, after all, still here. The animals in my kingdom apparently thought otherwise and a few came to check in on me, maybe even move in. Visitor number 1 was the House Spider. It is actually poisonous, but not too fast. I was able to capture it and place it under glass until I drank that first cup of coffee. The it died.. bug spray. Wonderful stuff.
Visitor number 2 was a snake. Just a common King Snake, also known as a Black Snake or a Rat Snake. Pretty common guy in these parts, although this one was pretty long. He/She decided to invade my patio area as I was also invading the patio for lunch. The snake won that round. I ate inside.
Visitor number 3 was the cutest of them all.. the red fox! This one was deadly! I'd bet my left foot he was rabid. Daylight and foxes are not usually friends, and given their shyness, standing outside my door, staring at me ranks right up there with odd behavior. The only explanation I have for a skinny red fox, standing at my door in bright sunlight is a sick mind! And this, dear reader, brings us up to speed on my newest dating adventure with the Super.. super crazy guy, that is!
The Super is from D.C., and is Distinctly Crazy. We met online, of course, and he seemed normal.. whatever normal is these days. We met for dinner. He still seemed normal.. funny, smart enough, complimentary - said being with me made him feel smarter (was that a clue??). The good night kiss was pretty nice as well. And then it all went to hell.. beginning with the non stop text messages telling me how great I was and how this was meant to be - the three words that will always run a chill up my spine. But, hey, I'm a fair gal and I thought I'd sleep on this. Given my history, I thought maybe, just maybe, I needed to change my expectations a tad and accept that I am a fabulous person that brings out the best in someone.
The next morning I woke early, well rested, and thought, you know, maybe this will work out. And bing, a text message appears on my computer screen! Magic? Fat chance!
um, yea.. a website! The Super is now super blocked - no more emails, no more texts, and no more phone calls. Another crazy guy off my list and further confirmation that a girl should never doubt her gut.
On the upside.. I had another date with the IT guy.. wonder, wonder who... or is that where (?) this is going.. hmmmm. I do like the IT guy.. do you think he could be it as well? I'm pretty sure it is still too soon to tell!

The next morning I woke early, well rested, and thought, you know, maybe this will work out. And bing, a text message appears on my computer screen! Magic? Fat chance! How did I sleep? Did I miss him yet? Did I know how wonderful I am?It was getting to be a bit much and I politely and laughingly (LOL) asked him to take it easy and back up a little. He apologized and signed off. This occurred again later that evening as well, and then into Monday morning. Once again, asking for a reprieve from the non stop adulation, I was accused of DRAMA and he said he
didn't need it, and that he would not be contacting me again..WOW! What did I miss!? Ask a guy to stop complimenting me every 2 minutes, and I am the drama queen! My next thought was Phew! Another crazy one bites the dust. But he was back again on Tuesday morning! and again on Tuesday night!.. via text messaging.. asking me to
bear with him and to understand as he works his way through this. After all, something brought us together..

Wow, you definitly had a menagerie of guests! A spider, a fox, and two different kinds of snakes (the slithering kind and the two-legged kind). The IT guy is coming into the picture more and more. On a side note-I still can't believe you killed that poor defenseless spider. Shoulda saved the bug spray for the Super.
