OK, all together now... ACKKKKKKK!!!!!That's it, we can continue.
That's our first scorpion, he's about 4” long and 'they' say the black ones are better than the yellow ones and the big ones better than the small ones. So, we should be pleased that it was a huge, black chingaso that was inside a towel Mimi was folding that we'd been using to catch the rain that came in under the doors. I guess he came in too. We beat him to death with a squeegie, but only after I yelled for Mimi to get the camera. See how I think of you before my own safety?
Now we can return to our regularly scheduled cute kitten programming.Please ignore my dirty Crocs, what can I say except it is hot, my feet get dirty walking around barefoot because shoes make my feet sweat so then the shoes get dirty. Got all that?
Tita is wearing her folklorico skirt, showing her national pride.
Here we have her emerging from her cardboard shanty behind the beer store.¡Pobrecita!
But, have faith, she is 100% Pura de Vaca and she will walk right by that Coronita because she knows there is Media Crema up in the sky to reward her.

Ahhh. She is just too cute. I love the sleepy look! Yikes on the scorpion. I was more surprised to read about Mimi doing a houseworky type thing than about the scorpion though! (you know Im kidding!)
jonna... the heat has finally gotten to you!
Look. At that. KITTEN.
(I am decidedly NOT looking at the scorpion.)
Oh man, the shanty behind the beer store thing, combined with the slightly drunk look on her face made me laugh out loud.
I honestly thought I was the only one who used a squeegie as my bug bashing tool of choice. Well, maybe not choice, but it certainly seems to usually be the handiest thing around. And you should be pleased it was the bigger kind - they're easier to hit ;-)
LMAO, what a great post! Thank god you buffered the horror of the scorpion with super cute kitty goodness, phew! Tita is adorable, I love her skirt, teehee.
Are those the largest and cutest kitten ears ever? If she grows into them she is going to be as big as Cuba! Speaking of Cuba, I found the clicker!
I love the little outfit,is it a hair scrunchy?
We are missing you guys, come to Merida soon, please.
regards,
Theresa
Man- you chicas don't mess around!! You wait all these years to get a scorpion I suppose you should get the biggest bestest scariest looking one you can find! LOL!
I swear I heard Mimi scream while reading this! I for one am impressed that you think of your readers before your own personal safety! haha! Not me! No pics of the yellow scorpion family we had- sorry folks I'm not as brave as these kids!!
Tita in her shanty hahahahaha and dang can she get cuter please- she makes almost pass out from her adorableness! It hits my brain like opium I swear- I want more more more Tita! LOL!!
Come of people, play nice with our fellow creatures! Scorpions are endangered and were here long before us so no bashing please. I tell my wife the same thing as she yells, throws rocks and chases all the nice deer out of the garden.
I had to post more kitteh pics, they were just so shareable.
Theresa, we finally got to Merida and have been with the architects and the cabinet maker and all that all day. Now we are off to the vet for Tita's first shots and then to Niplitos for a kitchen faucet. I'll call you.
Yes, the heat may have gotten to me or maybe I've just overdosed on kitten cuteness. I can't stand it how cute she is sometimes. Then, when she tries to climb up my bare leg with her claws, not so cute. I'm covered in scratches.
We're all in the RV, it's madness but we are doing fine in this teeny space with 3 dogs and a kitten. Tita goes into her carrier when we are not here, we don't really trust the dogs that much.
Croft, I hope you are kidding. As a kid I cried at the movie Bambi but when I lived in NoCal and the deer ate my sterling silver rose just as it was covered in buds, well... I could have shot Bambi myself. As for bugs, anything with more than 4 legs that enters my space is dead. That's the rule.
You gals just have not lived....I am getting an average of one scorpion a day...time to call the exterminator again.
I get that anything with more than four legs heads for that resting place in the sky, but how do you feel about uninvited creatures with no legs? Recently I had guests who were enjoying breakfast on the elevated terrace when a coralillo came up over the edge and slithered right past them.
A little herpetology lesson for the day...you can only tell the venemous coralillo from the false coralillo by checking the length of its tail...venemous ones have short tails relative to their body length. Really!! It's true...and a snake's tail begins at the vent. With practice you can see where the tail begins before you kill it and turn it over...we only dispatch the venemous ones.
Now, if the above was not more information about the coralillo than you wanted, let me know because I have more cool info on them.
Kathe
Oh sheez! yeah, I'd probably have to extend the rule to include no legs.
But kathe, I'm up on the 3rd floor on the beach in Gringolandia not down in RealWorld like you. I can't believe they climb up that far, why didn't he go in on the 2nd floor?
Coralillo, is that like Fer de Lance? Because I know those are here and then there is the one with the jingle
"Black touches yellow will kill a fellow, Black touches red you won't be dead" something like that.
I would be willing to bet my life on figuring out whether black touched yellow but I would not bet my life that I could find a snake's asshole faster than I could kill it. He better not bet his life on that actually, he'd lose.
I'm not spooked by snakes like I am arachnids, they are kind of cool but I'm not one of those who wants one for a pet. Slither away and prosper, that's the key to survival around me.
