The Lizard

So let me just say that I would rather tell you this in person, but that would be ridiculous. SO I'm going to write with as much detail as I can so that you feel like you were with me today.

It all started while I was dropping off some Mar Kay product at my customer's home. As many of you know, my car has been overheating. Well, it started overheating while I was in my customer's drive way. Embarrassing right?! Well I let it cool down and then headed toward 264 West by way of Dixie Highway.
As I was driving it began to overheat again. So I pulled over asap. I ended up in the parking lot of a liquor store. Oh goodness! I was totally out of my element!

I turned off the car and sat in silence. Ugh! What was I gonna do? Then I remembered! I needed to take pictures of my car for this lady interested in buying it. So I got out of my car and started taking pictures. I opened my back seat doors to take inside pictures. And sitting next my pair of pants was a lizard! I freaked! Anyone who knows me knows that I am scared to death of wild creatures. I was so scared, yet I mustered up enough courage to try to get the lizard out of the car by pushing it over with my pants. No luck. I looked around the surprisingly empty parking lot. Nobody.

Suddenly, an older gentleman in a truck started pulling out on to the street. I quickly stopped him by waving my hands around like an idiot. He rolled down his window and asked what was wrong. I told him there was a lizard in my car. He chuckled and said he would help. He turned his car around to park. As he was parking two hood dudes pulled up and said, "What's wrong baby girl?" I told them the problem. They laughed and tried to cheer with flattery. I can tell you right now that that is all they did because they sure as heck wasn't going to mess with no lizard! They pulled off.

By this time it was raining and I was drenched. The old man had gotten one of the liquor store employees to come help as well. Together they both poked through my car trying to catch the lizard. It was fast! Finally they gave up and told me it wouldn't bother me. Go figure! I was left defenseless!

I started my car up and began to drive..while sitting on the edge of my seat mind you! I kept looking over my shoulder  the entire 30 minute drive! You would have thoguht I was in a horror film.

As I arrived home, I jumped out of my car eager to get away from the lizard and closer to safety! As I was walking away from my car, the apartment maintenance guy showed up. He was a little hung over but I begged him to  find the lizard and get it out of my car. He's a true redneck.

He told me I was easy on the eyes so it would be no problem for him to help. I opened all the doors for him and when I opened the passenger side door there was the lizard! Sitting just inches from MY seat!

I guess he just wanted to save me hundreds of dollars on my car insurance!
