There was some commotion this morning as our Marketing Director, Caroline, found that she wasn’t alone in the bathroom…

While October is one of my favorite months, because of the feeling of mystery and surprise in the air, I wasn’t quite expecting the fright I found in our office bathroom this morning. Don’t get me wrong–I don’t scare easily, I mean, I LOVE horror movies and Halloween is my favorite holiday. I was even raised in the country, so I’m used to creepy, crawly things. But getting caught off guard in the bathroom by an unidentified jumping object, BEFORE I’ve had my morning coffee…well, that would be enough to make anyone jump.

I was minding my business and fixing my hair, when I saw something leap from the wall to the light fixture, inches from face. Immediately thinking it was a monster, (maybe I should lay off the scary movies!) I jumped back in surprise. As it turns out, it wasn’t some brain-eating, blood sucking creature from beyond, but a wayward frog who’d found his way into our office.

After chasing him around the office for a bit, trying hopelessly to catch him (they’re a lot quicker than they look!), I finally got a grasp on this little green man. He tried to escape a few times, even once jumping into my hair (which elicited another surprised scream), but eventually, I was able to convince him that the outside was a lot nicer. I took him out to our porch and he immediately made a jump for our hydrangea bush where he’ll be a lot happier and we won’t be looking over our shoulder for little green monsters in our office.
