Snakes! I don't like snakes!

So, one of my favorite Christmas books is called, "Who Will Guide My Sleigh Tonight".  If you have children it is a must read.  Heck, if you don't have kids it is just fun and why shouldn't we have fun.  Especially during the holiday season!

So you are probably thinking to yourself, "Why is she talking about Christmas in March?" On any other day that would be a fair question.  BUT NOT TODAY!

There is a page in the story about snakes and let's just say I agree with Santa(I don't want to give the story away)!

So I was cleaning out the garage.  I have wanted to do this CHORE forever.  I have finally decided that since I am on Spring Break and it wasn't TOO hot I would get this done.  I mean how long can this actually take, right!

It started off by throwing some old Cleveland Drill Team tapes away.  That was harder than I thought.  I thought that this is where my 12 step program would need to start.  I seriously thought, "Maybe I should take a break and go and watch the reality TV show Hoarders.  No, Alise!  Keep going!" It had been a couple of hours and I could see some progress.  I stayed on one side of the garage and I was to the sweeping! I would finish sweeping that half of the garage and then I would work on the other half with Matthew since it is the side with the t-shirt equipment and all of I the supplies.  

As I move a piece of sheetrock, there he is.  The biggest snake known to man.  OK, really he was about the diameter of a pencil and as long as a ruler (do you like my measurements?  Thanks Teresa C.!)  It is him against me?  There he lay sticking his tongue out at me...the audacity!  He was in MY garage.  What do I do? Jump and scream while holding onto the broom , of course.  I guess he did not like my high pitch scream so he slithered out of the garage. 

I have now decided that the other half of the garage is just going to be dirty!
