Snakes, Why Did It Have To Be Snakes

When we were visiting my husband's parents during 4th of July I went down into their basement where we had set up camp to get ready for bed.  I was being a good girl and flossing my teeth when I felt the need to turn around.  It's a good thing I did because I came face to face with a ferocious beast!  It was by my standards a decently sized snake hanging out on the rug just watching me do my nightly routine.  I screamed bloody murder and ran up the stairs to have AJ get it while I rocked back and forth on the couch for awhile.  A few weeks later I came across this gem and it sums up how I feel.
