Expenses, Greed and a Snakeskin

Sigh... yes, you see the little ad on my blog. I said I'd do it and finally I did it.

This morning, I woke up, reversed my car down the slope and discovered my brakes were well, not functioning. Drat!

Nothing beats that get-you-down feeling (I can't find a better word) than unexpected expenses after payday.

So, in a momentary lack of self control and newfound sense of money mindedness, yours truly registered for Nuffnang and in the span of 10 minutes, added an ad. (Oooh, rhymes doesn't it)

OK, enough about myself. Actually I wouldn't have felt the pinch so much if I hadn't 'invested' in something last Sunday. I shall tell you... wait, I shall show you in good time. I bet LM and Annie will be splitting their sides laughing over it.

This is getting boring so I'll just show you my new discovery last Sunday. The warden at my workplace brought a snakeskin to the office. Ever the nature paparazzi, I asked him to let me take a few shots. Ta da....

Lovely, isn't it! I touched it.. felt like something between sandpaper and gauze. Anyway, after checking out the photo on my computer, I discovered something so worthy of a ex-science stream student.

You know right, they say, that snakes have no eyelids. But looking at the photo, you can see a layer where the eyes are.

You know what that means right. When the snake sheds its skin, it also sheds a layer over its eyes. Ugh. . . . *Shiver*

Is it any wonder I don't like wearing contact lenses.
