Today Was the Day My Heart Almost Stopped...

Today was a great day, right? Why not go out and clean out the flowerbeds, preparing for this springs plantings... Well, I'll tell you why... I SAW A SNAKE!!! I about died right on the spot. I freaked out and apparently yelled so loud that my mother came out of my house to see what was wrong and my husband wanted to know which teenage girl neighbor was making so much noise.... After I collected myself, I tried to explain that it wasn't that big, and I was OK. My husband went and got the shovel and killed it. Here it is:

I know what all of you are thinking... "I can barely see it!" Let me tell you though, when it slithered out of nowhere, and I was not prepared, it might as well have been a python. Once we were finished with the yard, my husband came in to watch the Masters. I don't get it. I like golf, but I cannot watch a tournament until the last hour, or so. BORING! We are laughing because God knew what he was doing taking my grandmother before this Tiger scandal. She would have been all over this and we would still be hearing about it. (She was a big fan of Tiger...)

Good news/bad news of the day is that I got really sunburned. Good news because I only burn once a season, thus the Dominican should treat me well. Bad news, I have a weird red/white combo on my arm, and it is only on my right side. Sweet.

Friday, I had the day off and went to lunch with Z's high school friend D'Andra. After lunch we went to this new "all-green" baby store. Listen to what I bought... A book about a couple that went a full year without buying anything made in China. I can't wait to read it. I think we will start that on my b-day and try to make it all year. This is right up my alley.... you know how I boycott Walmart! I'll let everyone know what I find out! ~Amy
