Okay - It is the coldest morning of the current "winter" minus 7ºF with windchills of -30. I know I have to take enough time to warm the car up for 10-15 minutes before scraping it, etc. (it is parked outside all year round) So, on the morning where time is already strapped, my juvenile Marginata decides to run out of his cage when I put his food in. Damn! Ran all over my room. Thankfully, no cats were in it. Each time I tore apart the area he was in (books, knick-knacks, etc.) he's run somewhere else. Then the bugger went behind my dresser! Argh! There's a 40gal tank with my skink on that. It isn't moving! Finally got the bugger and put him back into his cage! but, not before wasting 20 minutes on him! This is the reason I sold his hatchmate. LOL. The bugger made the mistake of making a break from his cage the day before we were going to a reptile show to vend. I figured, as long as I have him in the container, he may as well go.....I got to work on-time, but I sure have a mess in my room to clean up. Sigh, why do I have these again.....OH YEAH!!! IT'S ALL JEFF'S FAULT! He gave me the horny females to go with my lonely boy.....

Yeah, it was funny. I'm running around half-dressed (jeans and bra on)asking the roomy to find me a yard stick so I could push the bugger up the wall! Poor Scott, he shouldn't be subject to that early in the morning. Specially when he's just going to bed and I'm swearing up a storm. LOL.
