And then there were frogs.

I don't consider myself a super girly girl (despite the asian Elle Woods reference). After the Christmas in July party, however, I pulled out girliness I didn't even know I had.


Janina and I were driving home from Ellie's when I saw something hopping across the street. "Oh Janina, look how cute! It's a little frog," I exclaimed. Little did we know...

As I approached my driveway, I was stopped in the middle of the road by a frog. When I turned to get into my driveway, I was greeted by yet another frog. However, this time, the frog was STARING AT ME (cue psycho music!). I'm pretty sure this is where I lost my mind. Wouldn't you???(No, I did not take this picture! Are you kidding? I was too busy screaming.)

At this point, Janina and I were hysterical. After a few minutes, the frog finally moved enough so I could get into my garage without crushing it.

Janina and I screamed a few more times even IN the house, at which point I didn't know how Janina was going to get home. I mean, how was she going to get to her car with all the frogs hopping all over the place??

The next part of the story could come straight from a fairy tale book. Janina and I called our "Knight in Shining armor" to come and save us: Charles Stephens. Thankfully, he had just finished small group when I called him hysterically. I'm pretty sure I was yelling into the phone when I called him, but I was relieved when his response was "I'll be right over." In my defense, I'm pretty sure I have never done this before...

Hehe Charles kept us company for a few hours while we sat and ate some banana bread inside the house, away from the frogs. Like the gentleman that he is, he escorted Janina to her car at the end of the night (while scouting for any frogs).

Needless to say, Janina and I bring a new level to "damsel in distress."

The next morning, I spent some time staring at my driveway from my room. Were there frogs? There were a few times when I was staring at some leaves, thinking that I had smashed a frog last night with my car.

Charles stopped by with some fresh flowers and peaches from the farmer's market (check out the flower with the red stem - so intense!):
Hehe...this is what they call "the follow up" to make sure that the hysterical person is doing better. I think I am back to my old self again, though Fishie (bloop bloop!) thinks I am definitely frog phobic.
