One Less Possum in Critter County!

     OK! This is what I saw when I opened the back door to leave the Sanza's house tonight. The biggest, grossest, most disgusting possum everrrrrr! And his face looked exactly like this; he was HISSING at me! Yuck!!! Sometimes I joke with Pam & Frank about how they live in "Critter County". Not too long ago when I was at their house, Hannah called me into the "Game Room" to show me the possum and the raccoon (through the glass door) that were hanging out on their porch having a little tea party. 
     When I heard Mr. Possum hiss at me tonight, I quickly slammed the door shut as I uttered a profanity. I'm sorry Hannah had to hear it, but that possum scared the poop outta me!!! Frank quickly grabbed his rifle (from it's secure location) and told me to "stay inside". Before long, Frank was back in the house and Mr. Possum was gone, gone, gone. 
    Since I'm talking about critters, I'd like you to meet Fred the Frog. He lives downstairs at my apartment complex. Fred really enjoys hanging out in the same place each night; I'm pretty sure he finds super yummy bugs to eat under the porch lights. If Fred eats too many bugs, he might not fit in his hiding place anymore! :-D

     Before I say goodnight, I thought I'd let you know that I got a part in "A Christmas Tale". Woo Hoo!!!! I was so excited when I read the email from Frank tonight! I'm not sure which storyteller I will be in the show; I'll find out at the first rehearsal next week. Frank also asked me to help with costumes, which I've never done before ... but I'm super excited about! OK, so who's coming to see the show? The dates are December 9, 10, 11, 16, 17 & 18 (7:30PM). Puhleeeeeeze?

  2. Finally up to current blog....possum story and all, that would be scary I must say.
    Apartment looks great & I'm sure the twin mattress will really help with comfort.
    Thanks for the phone call, sounds like you had a fun trip to Plano and your "crafty" friend Gail was able to help with busy lifestyle.
    Love you, "Mamasita"
