Anyone remember that book? I read it in like 5th grade. Anyway, we had a pretty exciting evening last night. There was a BAT in the house. I was reading one of my many magazines and my husband was watching TV. Something caught my eye and I said to my husband "I think there's a BIRD in the house!" Buddy the cat, takes off in pursuit of his prey (good kitty!) and my husband goes upstairs to check it out and close doors. I stay downstairs. I'm not getting involved. LOL. My husband tells me that Buddy can jump about 4 feet off the ground.
He comes back down to find the broom and tells me it's not a bird. I say, please don't tell me it's a bat. He said "Okay, I won't tell you." LOL. I've been seeing lots of bats lately flying around outside. Long story short, the bat was flying around and my husband finally caught him and threw him outside. The only thing we can think of was that my husband took out our two window A/C units last night. The bat was either IN one of the units or attached and once it warmed up, because it's been cold over here the last couple of nights, the bat wanted out.
I would have taken pictures but I was hiding in the bathroom behind a closed door. LOL!
In other news... I FINALLY have a dedicated sewing area! My husband and I cleaned the office and created an area for me. We went out Saturday afternoon and he purchased a couple of tables and shelving for my stuff. I still want to get some sort of rolling cart to store under one of the tables to hold stuff and a chair. But my sewing machine is all set up, my cutting mat is all set up on its own table and now I can sew whenever I want! I no longer need to take 20 minutes to get myself organized on the dining table in order to do an hour's worth of sewing. So happy! It's not as pretty as what I've seen that other people have but I just love it. I will take pictures of my modest sewing area and post them soon.
Enjoy your day!

OHMYGOSH... we had a bat in the house a month ago. We came back from vacation, and heard a noise high atop a built-in book case. Didn't find anything. Set a mouse trap (thinking it was a mouse). Next morning, nothing. Later that night, the noise returned. Hubby got on a ladder and peeked inside this cute little decorative bucket... and there was a live bat. He took the bucket outside and "poured" it out of the bucket, and off the bat flew. Freaky! We have no idea how he got in, but the only thing we could think of was the fireplace. So much for my two guards cats, ha!
ReplyDeleteYUCK! Is all I can say. That's what I was saying last night when I first thought it was a bird. I kept thinking "don't poop on me!" LOL!
