My Lizard Friend...IS GONE!

I just about freaked out the other night because I was sitting on my couch in my apartment talking to a friend over the computer and I saw something move across my floor....IT WAS A LIZARD! I grabbed my candle jar that was sitting on my coffee table and was going to smash it, but then that sucker ran under my couch! There was no way I was going to get him...so for the last couple of days I've been scared to even walk around my apartment without shoes or even scared to get into bed, because I had no idea where he had wandered to. So tonight I came home from a prayer meeting and walked into my bathroom to find Mr. Lizard running across my floor! I just about pooped in my pants! I grabbed a sneaker, but I didn't have the nerve to smash him, so I grabbed a cup and tried to make him run in it, but he just wasn't cooperating with me, so I had to hit him. BUT I did it softly! I think I still paralyzed him, but at least he's out of my house now!!!
