Crabcakes and Raccoons

Crab cakes and raccoons... Current mood: relieved Category: Pets and Animals Crabcakes and raccoons... I had a strange Saturday afternoon. Today was Saturday. The last one in June. Today was strange. Must be the full moon. Roomate and I were doing our hair. Lunchtime came, my usual fare. Trader Joe crab cakes - I cook them often. I heat up the stove, and micro-defrost them. I did this today, and returned to my hair The smoke alarm reminded me, my stove was aflare. I took action quickly - I've done this before I put fans at the windows and opened all doors. The smoke filtered out, and all had calmed down Then the smoke alarm in the hallway made a loud piercing sound. I opened hall windows and febreezed up the stairs Apologized to neighbors and calmed all their fears I descended down the stairwell - I had to go groom When out from my doorway exits a raccoon. I shreiked out in horror as the furball hobbled out This obese raccoon just invaded my house! I jumped up and down and cried to my roomate Then I put on my heels and began to investigate Had the raccoon invited her family and babies? Eww that raccoon probably had rabies! The heels would protect me from small little creatures Thinking back now I could have just worn sneakers. I looked over my apartment, searched high and low Never imagined this was where the wild things go. Low and behold no critters were found Finally things had begun to calm down I returned to my perch, blow drying at my laptop As I sit here now... shit I'm laughing my ass off (This was a true story occuring today, in my apartment, June 30th, 2007)
