A huge preying mantis terrorized my yoga class today.

Okay, that's a big fib.  No one was scared of him.  But he was a huge distraction as he slowly made his way across the ceiling toward the door.  When class was over I got a stick and tried to get him to crawl on it so I could put him outside, but he cringed away and thought I was going to hit him, so we let him be.  But he was gi-normous--longer than my finger.

First, though, I went to Wishcraft where my report was decidedly embarrassing.  I only accomplished three out of 12 goals for the past two weeks.  I'm hoping to do better but I'm behind on my deadline and I still haven't gotten my Mob book out the door, and I keep thinking of things I really, really need to do!

On the way home from lunch with crit. group, I stopped at a wild birds store, where the guy who runs it seemed a little desperate for company and wanted to talk my ear off.  But he was certainly knowledgeable, and he told me all about how putting up a bat house will end my mosquito problems forever.  I told him my chimney swifts were doing a pretty good job.  Bats are kinda cute but I'm not sure I really, really want them roosting under the eaves of my house.

I did do some writing today.  I used my recorder and wrote while I drove.

Thanks for visiting,
