Scaredy Kat...that's me!



Do these things frighten or bother you?(picture above) I can honestly say..I am scared to death of those green/brown anole lizards!! I absolutely abhor them..they give me the heebeejeebees and chills. I avoid them as much as possible and sho nuff don't get close to them! SHUDDERS!!!

Yesterday, as I was walking into our laundry room....I saw something sail past my right shoulder and land with a "kersplat" on the floor in front of me! Instantly my lizard radar went off. He was right in front of me and on the floor crawling fast.I couldn't let him stay. I have to use that room religiously!!!

Picture this, chores done, sunlight filtering into the rooms, warm sunny dappled bed, and snoozing hubs lying across to obtain the illusive afternoon nap........then me backtracking into the hallway and screaming the entire time...."""EEEEEE!" P get up..P get up!!! I hate to wake you but I NEED your help..There is a lizard in the laundry room.!!!" Up he stumbles donning his sleep shorts (on wrong side out..told you I screamed!) and to the rescue; muttering as he passed.."he's gonna be hell to catch in that room you know?"...I was in the hallway keeping an eye on the creature as he walked by so I could tell him exactly where he was..(lizard radar, remember?)...I handed him the broom and  kept my distance. I could envision the pest going the opposite way into the hot water closet and never getting him out. Oh the mounds and mounds of laundry piling up because I could never go back into the laundry unless the culprit was caught. I told P exactly where the lil repitilian visitor was located. He stunned him with the broom, moved the stool , the basket, and tilted the ironing board..(that rooms holds lotsa useful tools)...and grabbed that brown lil invader and took him wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy outside to the fence to release him. Of course I still look every which way in that room now and worry (did I mention my back door is located in that room too and it is opened and closed many times a day. It opens up onto my little back porch and I have recently added rails to that area. The lizards love to perch and sun on those rails. Not good for a non lizard lover! I am careful going in and out and all my family knows of my great fear---they don't tease me with it either. IT IS  SERIOUS BUSINESS WITH ME!!! I cannot help my fear and I am not trying to over the phobia, so no need to comment on how to do so..it will stay with me till my demise I am afraid.

At any rate, my husband, my hero, saved the day and I am lizard free in the laundry room that I know of (please don't tell me they could be hiding, I don't want to know!) I could tell you more about my intense dislike of those things, but I think you got the picture..and I hope that's all I will be sharing about them...the pictures..yucky, icky, shudders,creepy crawlers...YUCK YUCK AND MORE YUCK!!!Sorry all you lizard lovers!SHIVERS......


(It took all I could do just to post these pictures that I found! even they give me the creeps!)
