too funny!

Published Jun. 8, 2008

The other night I was getting ready to call it a day. I went out on the front porch to call the cat inside. I got her in but stayed on the porch for a while. It was a nice evening, almost 10pm. The wind was ruslting the leaves on the oak tree in the front yard, the neighborhood was dead quiet. I was just standing there enjoying the moment when all of a sudden FLASH!! a lighning bug had snuck up on me and decided to flash about two inches from my nose! It scared the living daylights out of me. After I got my composure back and was sure I didn't need to go change, I sat out there and laughed at myself. If anyone saw me, they surely musta thought I'd lost my mind!

We used to catch lightning bugs when I was a kid and either put them in a jar or disect them to make jewelry. My hair was short curls back then and the kids in the neighborhood, including my older brother and sister, put a bunch of lightning bugs in my hair and took me home to show the parents! When I realized what happened, I earned my nickname, Screamy Mimi!

Lol @ chill!!!!

Just sent my Step-daughter a text message about the spider incident, and how much I miss her - she texted back that she misses me too, just had toncils out and cant talk. I MISS MY GIRLS!

Too funny but it brought back a great memory, thank you Mojo...Stella

ROFLMBO @ chill! that's funny!

mojo honey, that is funny! I totally understand dude. I don't do anykind of bug or reptile. ewwww...get the ebbie jebbies just thinking about them. LOL. Don't fish anymore either. Couple of years ago me and hubby went fishing caught a few of something, had them on a string I kept looking down in the water and could swear I could see a face down there. I told hubby and he laughed at me. I know what I saw, so I'm gonna prove to him there is a face down there! He comes over and pulls the fish up and up comes this huge face...I screamed and was at the car by the time he finished pulling it out. It was a HUGE, HUGE turtle! For the love of all that is holy, did this man have the audacity to bring this freakin turtle to the car to show me and then tell me to come back to fish. Well, needless to say, he packed up everything by his self, and we haven't been fishing since. He still asks me to do the dance, that I did on the banks. Dufuss! LOL.

yeah, that spider bit was definately an AFV moment - I didn't live that down for a long time - I sure miss my step-daughters - ughh

Now that there's funny!! Too bad you didn't have a camcorder going...you could have been on AFV! It's always good to have a little laugh at yourself once in a while!!

lol, I don't remember if I screamed out loud, I think my heart skipped a beat though. I was summoned to kill a spider in my daughters room one evening. I squished it (or so I thought) in a napkin. My daughter was screaming and I was like look, it's dead! when I opened the napkin, it jumped on my arm, I screamed like a little girl. My daughter went from screaming to laughing/crying!!

Lol i would have liked to have seen you.Not afraid of most bugs .Just spiders and snakes.Kill a spider the snake can have the whole place i'am gone.
