Home Sweet Home

I had a couple of friends over for dinner and borrowed a camera to take some pictures.  I got a new couch today, so they aren't 100% accurate, but you will get the picture (pun intended).

Outside my house.  My laundry room and motorbike

My living room and old couch and chairs

The Kitchen...sort of.

Guest Room

My Room

From the front door looking in.  Glass door on the left is the kitchen, then my room, then guest room on the right

My effort to smash the fluff out of the pillows-they are extra poofy

The unwanted house guest I had to chase out.

That last picture of the lizard has a funny story.  I have seen a bunch of lizards outside of my house and was thankful that they didn't seem to ever be in my house.  Today I came home and found this guy in my dining room.  I rolled my eyes, thought, "oh great" and started hatching a plan.  My first thought was to put a bucket over it and scoop it up and take it outside.  Well, he was quick.  My second idea was to scoop him into a box (somehow this was a better plan than the bucket).   Then I tried to trap him between the bucket and box.  At some point I got the broom.  I had accomplished all of this without screaming like a little girl and was thinking about how proud my mom would be of me for not being scared of a little lizard.  I finally got him into the box, picked it up and started to the front door.  I made it 3 steps before he poked his little head out of the box.  At that point, I screamed.  My neighbors, who were outside in their yard stopped talking and I felt ridiculous.  I decided that I had tried to get the lizard out nicely for far too long.  I decided to sweep him the rest of the way.  It worked.  I was taking the photo of him when one of my neighbors wandered over and asked me to come over for a drink.  They must have thought I was a little traumatized.  I politely declined.  I can only imagine what they must think of me-a loud scream and then seeing me standing over this lizard with my iPad trying to take a picture...ridiculous.  Love, M.
