Shannon, TOO FUNNY! I'n not sucking my thumb, but I AM ROCKING back an forth! Gods, but I want these boys. I love Winnie so much and want my OWN garters HERE, at home with me. Where I can pull them out at will, feed them, watch them, learn snakey ways, cuddle them, kiss them...

I LOVE GARTERS!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Winnie! Garters are the bestest snakes, but for Hoggies, in the WHOLE WORLD! I love their 'personalities,' their ways, their eyes, their 'looks,' the way they move, how they re-aligne their jaws, smack their lips, wipe their sweet little mouths...

There is NOTHING like a garter!

Gertie, I am so happy your long wait is nearly over now!!
I bet you won't be able to sleep a wink in all your excitement!

[Garter_Gertie]

You're one smart cookie, Anji! However, I've have the assit of hops and barley. I should sleep well, but for that storms are coming - THANK GODS! - and the temps will drop. However, Missy Mayo is TERRIfied o'storms. She kept me awake all nite last nite... Shaking and shivering and panting... But... LOL!!! Yeah, I may not sleep enkneeweigh!

I AM SO XCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Well,
just be sure to tone your excitement down enough not to plow over the poor delivery man tomorrow morning. You don't want to scare the guy so that he's unwilling to bring you any more packages!!

[Garter_Gertie]

**** the delivery guy! MY BABIES ARE COMING!

Yep - they left here.... 20,000 feet and headed west

I dreamed of snakes... Tossed and turned all nite, awake as much as I slept. Up at 5:00 AM. No more wake-ups! My stomach's doing flip-flops. Will the tank be too little? Too big? Too warm? Not warm enough? Is the substrate okay?

Will they get here alive? WHEN will they get here?

I've never owned and cared for a snake before. This ain't no dog or cat! Why did I do this? Why didn't I do it sooner?

Once they get here and I put them to 'bed,' I think I'll go back to sleep. I'll be xhausted by then.

Gertie, the couple of times I've ordered snakes I've had them shipped to my work. Well, the first time, all 3 of us in the office we waiting sooooo excitedly... then finally the Fed Ex truck pulls up... and the driver comes bouncing down the steps of the truck, bouncing the box up and down in his hands and spinning it as he walks toward the office!!! Well, imagine if you can the SHOCKED look on his face when we all three piled out the door screaming at him NO, NO, NO, DON'T SHAKE THE BOX!!!!!! Poor guy stopped dead in his tracks and you KNOW the first thing thru his mind was OMG, it's a bomb.... LOL

He was much relieved to learn it was garter babies and he even stayed to see them. And now, he still walks all of our boxes very gently to the door. LOL

I am SO excited for you Gertie!!!! =D

[Garter_Gertie]

They're not here yet... I'm shitfaced and near tears. What if they don't make it? What if they... I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IF???????????????

My babies... My babies... WHERE ARE MY BABIES?????????

Peepers? Jeepers? I LOVE YOU!!!!! Their little home is all ready. Swimming pool full, light on - 77 degrees. I've made sure everything is on the bottom sos it can't bean'um. But for a couple o'pieces o'mopani wood and their little log hidey-thing. It smells so good because o'the timothy.

Every time I hear a car or motor, I run to the window...

Oh, I just want my babies...
