pets (VAL)

There are lizards crawling all over our apartment building. Nostalgic for the days spent as a kid on my grandparents' back patio in Arizona catching the lizards that ran up the walls, I mentioned once that I might try to catch one. Matt scoffed, doubting my abilities. Well, if you know me, then you know where this story is heading...

His challenge led to me crawling around on the floor chasing a little baby lizard (small but FAST) until I trapped him. He crawled around on my hands, then Matt's hands, for awhile to allow for this brief photo session. Then he crawled up my dress, I screamed, he went flying across the room, scurried under our couch, and our brief friendship ended. I still feel victorious.
