Ghosts in Our House on Random Friday

1.  The boys were so excited to get out a few Halloween decorations that I bought last year, when Halloween decorations were on 90% clearance.  In addition to a haunted hedge and a purple light spider web, we have menacing ghosts peeking out the window of our front door.

2.  I had to fling a snake the other day.  Not sure what  kind it was - I tried to look it up via Google but couldn't find anything similar.  It was black with large beige spots.  A young snake, it was in the middle of the trail I was running repeats on, and would not move.  I was afraid one repeat I'd miss it and stomp on it or get bitten.  So I used a stick to fling it off into the pasture.  I had chill bumps afterwards. 

3.  We lost our sweet guinea, Tut.  He got taken out one night in his tree - perhaps a hawk or owl?  I will miss his curious nature - he was always peeking in the windows at us.

4.  Sometimes people ask me how I am motivated to exercise all the time.  Here's a little trick.  When I am so busy that I have to wake up early to run before the boys get up, I set the radio alarm to a country music station.  I loathe country music.  I hear that twangy singing and I can't take it.  I have to get up to shut it off!  And once I'm up, well, might as well go run.

5.  My first ever craft fair is tomorrow.  Fingers crossed for nice weather (it's outdoors) and people who love my wares!
