well, it could have been worse right? i did wake up once with my ferret nibbling on my toe.
i woke up a few nights ago and in the middle of being half asleep i felt something oddly cold sitting on my stomach just beside my navel. my first thought was “what the heck is that?” then i wondered if Ian had knocked his ice water over and that I had an ice cube on my stomach… as I began to roll over I simply grabbed what I thought was an ice cube to throw it off of me. All would have been fine until I remembered that ice cubes didn’t wiggle. I threw this wiggly little “ice cube” towards the end of the bed and sat up quickly and yelled “wtf was that?”, turned on the lamp and hopped out of bed. after tossing the sheet and comforter around, ian suggested that i was dreaming and at this point i was wondering if he were correct. then i realized that my stomach was still cold… ice cold. (what colder than cold? ice cold.)
so, long story long 
i decided to cuddle back into bed and head back to la la land. when i stretched out to touch the lamp off i hear a little rustling on the floor and look down to find a little frog, ironically enough, sitting on a Harry Potter book. “Trevor is alive and well” someone commented.
Due to an extreme lack of creative input whatsoever, I refer to him as Kermit in my photos section. You’ll see here, that Kermit was captured, but we let the jumpy little creature “hop” free. According to Feng Shui, decorating your home with frogs will bring you good luck and fortune. Even though I am pretty sure that Kermy was just napping on my warm belly, I wondered if he would still be a sign of good luck and fortune.
Well, today I found that Kermit had indeed let me down.
Today while driving down Conroy towards Kirkman we had a little Monster Truck expedition in the Explorer. A little VW decided that it wanted to pull out in front of us and we ended up driving up the side of it… It felt pretty much like four wheeling the the mountains… Once I pulled myself together and found my glasses, I stepped out of the truck, knees still all rubbery and walked towards the back of the Explorer… when I saw the other car, I honestly figured that if the driver were alive at all they would be pinned in the car. Luckily, eventually, we all decided that we were ok. My right hand (that was gripping the ?oh shit bar? on the top passenger side of the truck) was twitching uncontrollably and I thought I had messed it up? it finally stopped and I am assuming it was just all twitchy from me gripping the bar so hard and slamming into the window a bunch. In the end I just ended up with a banged up elbow and hand. The poor girl in the VW had just went to Starbucks and the cup had flown out of the cup holder soaking her in coffee.
The VW got trashed? we literally drove up the side of them? a witness said that our tire is what caused their window to bust, which is probably why we had a flat in that tire as well? I thought that we had flipped until I felt our tires bounce on the pavement. Our headlight was dug into the pavement a few feet from the truck, we had to rock it back and forth to get it out of the road… But all in all, we’re still alive and walking, so I don’t figure it was that bad.
So where?s my good luck now, Kermit?
