Ok. It's 1:53am.
This raccoon or whatever the hell it is is trying to get in the house. I actually opened the door and screamed at it. Like that helped... NOT. I have no idea what it is because it's pitch black out there and I don't have a flashlight.
But it's a big creature. It was in the wall scratching around and then got all quiet. I heard it come back, opened the door and it was right there but I couldn't see it. I yelled again so it wouldn't jump at me or try to get in my room.
This is like some freaky tv movie. And now I'm wide awake. I swear if I had a gun it would be dead. But then I'd have to like guns. Or think it was ok to keep them in the house. Which I don't.
Freaky creature. Go AWAY. I need to sleep damnit.
And I sure didn't like George Bush pre-empting Boston Legal. Don't they know I live for certain tv shows now?
Posted by debutaunt at February 1, 2006 01:53 AMAh. This must be why I am still awake. To comfort you while the raccoon terrorizes you. At least I hope it is a raccoon. Possum are sooooo gross, and I've seen them in my yard before. Ewwwwww...
Hope he leaves you alone so you can sleep. I'll probably be up all night since I had to actually WATCH and help take NOTES on the State of the Union. Ugh. (*ripping the sporks out of my eyes.*)
Posted by: Christine at February 1, 2006 02:29 AMRut ro-and I teased you yesterday about a gun.
So sorry. Plan B-maybe call a critter control
where they catch them in cages and haul them off.
You need your sleep. I wonder what's up on that
porch that they are after (thinking out loud)
But again maybe they want your boa "yeah thats
what they want the boa".
I think we all need a daytime TV update.
Your Maureeeeeeee piece was priceless.
I wish you did not live so far away. We could
have a girlie girl night sans the critter.
Heres to a good day, a few naps, and one of
those salads you love. Yours truly is off
to the fiesta alias work.

Ha ha, we didn't even check out the networks last night...TLC and Discovery were our port in the storm. No State of the Union for us!

you need a couple of firecrackers for those raccoons.
Posted by: blackbird at February 1, 2006 06:38 AMI think what you need to do is get 'hold of a DVD of the state of the union address, drag a TV out to where the raccoon bothers you, and just put the DVD on endless play.
No self-respecting raccoon wants to see or hear that while he's trying to rummage for food. He will seek alternative hospitality.
Posted by: Bucky Four-Eyes at February 1, 2006 07:43 AMFirst of all, I am amazed that you'd even open the door! I'd be scared! LOL
You could try the whole interrogation/break your prisoner down kind of thing like the military does sometimes...big lights, loud heavy metal oh...and a big stick, for when the damn thing is ready to give itself up!
Posted by: Traci at February 1, 2006 08:15 AMPesky raccoons -- perhaps some of those "humane traps" would help? At least you'd be able to see just what was disturbing your sleep.
Posted by: CircusKelli at February 1, 2006 08:28 AMThe saga of the racoons continues what's a girl
to do? I think Circus Kelli had a good idea.
Those traps work they go into the cage the door
shuts and away they go with the "racoon company".
You still have class even though you had drama
last night. The Yiddish word of the day is
Oy Gevalt which means oh how terrible. I think
being up in the middle of the night is
oy gevalt for you Deb.
Where is Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett
when you need them?

A quick story my piano playing daughter told
us last night at the dinner table "I think
I should wear a dress when I practice".
awwwwwwww
I was all ready for Boston Legal, too. I was so bummed. But I'll count my blessings, there was no large, masked critter at my door.
Posted by: Susie at February 1, 2006 09:29 AMForget the gun. Use a broom. I'm telling you from experience. (Well, my father's experience.) It works.
Seriously, I hope they leave you alone soon. No one should have to put up with that.
Posted by: karen at February 1, 2006 11:01 AMFirst-of-all, I would like to say on GW's behalf, I don't think he actually comes up with the t.v. scheduling. However, I know you GW haters come up with all kinds of excuses to hate, sooooooo knock yourselves out.
Second-of-all, we once had some problem with some kind of critters in our attic and the pest guy just sprayed the place with fox urine. How they obtain fox pee beats me?
Good luck,
Sis #2
