AuburnChick's Adventures

Yesterday evening, I went outside to sweep my porch.  The dogs have managed to dig up almost every blade of grass in the back yard, so they track in dirt on a daily basis, requiring a good sweeping several times a week.

Because I don’t like the feel of grainy dirt on my feet, and because I am a tad lazy, I put these shoes on the porch as a matter of convenience…just so I’d have them handy…

Now, I know they’re not the prettiest, but in their heyday, they were my favorites, and they are still really comfortable.

Anyhoo…

I slipped my feet in to get busy, and all of sudden I jerked back.

My right foot had encountered an obstacle when sliding into my shoe.

I screamed and flipped the shoes off.

I fearfully took a peek inside and screamed like a girl (hey, what can I say?  I am a girl!).

I did the heebie-jeebie dance, flinging my hands and arms around like someone who’s just been grossed out.

The Mr. raised his eyebrow.  He’s used to my antics.

I do this when I see spiders and cockroaches too.

However, being the dedicated blogger that I am, I grabbed the camera and faced my fear.

Look at what was inside my shoe…

Yep.  That’s a frog.

It has been raining buckets around here lately, and I suspect that little guy came in for a reprieve.  The Mr. suspects that the critter also found it warm and cozy, although I fail to see how the smell of my stinky feet would be comforting to anyone, but hey, what do I know?  I am not the Frog Whisperer.

So, the shoes are still on my porch.  I refuse to touch them.  I am afraid that little froggy is going to jump out and scare the bejeepers out of me again.

Hello, my name is AuburnChick, and I am a sissy.
