I've been slimed!


Banana Slug, originally uploaded by Vicki & Chuck Rogers.

On Saturday, we stopped off at the mailbox to get our mail after Audrey's soccer game. Tim got out to unlock the box and grab the mail. Suddenly he dropped the mail on the ground. We laughed and teased him about dropping the mail and getting it all dirty and wet. He then proceeds to give me the mail to hold on my lap as we drive home. I look through it, hoping for something good, but I only see junk mail and bills. Oh well. And then it goes like this...
Tim: "Anything good"
Jo: "Nah, just junk and bills"
Tim: "Are you sure, what about that letter"
Jo: "Which one?"
Tim: "That one right there, the one you have in front"
Jo: "What do you mean, it's just a bill"
Tim: "Look closer"
Jo: "What are you talking about?"
Jo: "AHHHHHHHHHHHH"
A lovely little (disgusting) slug had found it's way into our mail box and slimed the mail and Tim when he took the mail out. But, knowing Tim, he coudn't just keep it to himself...he kept the yellow slimeball on the end of mail...just hidden enough so I didn't see it. Quickly the slug went flying out the window, and Tim is still suffering from a sore arm (after I punched it a few times!)
WELCOME TO SEATTLE!

Nice. That is something that Chance would definitely do. We went house hunting a few weeks back. We were driving around when I stopped to grab a flyer out of the box outside box. The whole box was crawling with earwhigs! It was so gross! I screamed and jumped back into the car. When I told Chance there were bugs in the box he rolled his eyes and got out to get a flyer himself. Of course, when he reached in and found all those earwhigs, he freaked out, too!

Slugs are one of the things that I remember most from living is WA. That and killing them with salt. Yuck.
