Something seriously wrong with me
Yes this is a picture of a snake. Say hello to Rusty. Oh yea it even has a name. Cute huh? Not. Yes there must be something seriously wrong with me. Apparently 3 kids, 3 dogs and a damn rabbit are not enough, I had to agree to let my son Brendan get a snake. Yea whatever. He had to pay for it himself and he has to take care of it (unlike the damn rabbit I am still taking care of) So he has to feed it once a week. And guess what snakes eat....no not just other snakes...they eat mice. Little, bitty, baby, dead, frozen mice. Yea lucky, lucky me. So we have Rusty the snake living in his room in a tank. 2 bags of dead, frozen baby mice in my deep freeze. You can get 50 of those little babies for $20 and that is a sweet deal apparently. See last Sunday we skipped church all because there was a snake show in town. Yes they had a whole big room full of snakes, lizards, big, hairy,spiders, huge, live roaches and a freezer full of little mice, big mice and rabbits ( for the bigger snakes...if I had only known I could have done a trade, my damn rabbit for ....no never mind that is not very nice.) And believe it or not this place was packed. It was held at the Viking on Watson. We had to pay to get in, yea that is where I want my hard earned money to go, to get into a room to see a bunch of snakes. And talk about a gathering of some interesting people. Lots of body art, tattoos and piercings ( and not just their ears) Wow it was a real experience. I have my good friend Tonya Sawyers to thank for this little adventure. Pay backs are hell.
So now we have a new addition to the family. He looks bigger than he is in the picture. He is no bigger around than my pinkie and about 1 1/2 foot long. And from what I understand Rusty will get up to 4 feet long....lord help please!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!! I can't come to you house now. I am TERRIFIED of snakes.
Yes there is is something SERIOUSLY wrong with you. Repeat after me NO NO NO NO NO! Josh was sitting on my lap when I opened your blog...he said pretty when the picture loaded...um NO! You will have to go live with Auntie Karen, cause one of those things will NEVER live in my house. Who knows maybe Rusty will get big enough to eat the "damn rabbit". Love you even though you are soooo not right in the head!
LOL You know you love me. :P
I was just going to say - Now you don't have to worry about the rabbit. Rabbit's make great snake snacks!!!
