Anyone hear of a chipmunk alarm?

So I forgot to post the funniest part of last weekend!

I know - I should be shot!

I'm lying in bed on Saturday morning - the air was nice and cool and crisp - it's around 7am and the birds are chirping. All snuggly in bed I hear this loud piercing noise - is sounds like an angry bird - chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp....chirp, chirp....this goes on for several minutes and seems to be getting louder or at least has become quite annoying. I hear others around the cottage stir a little, turn over in bed, pull the covers up, squirm a little trying to ignore the incessant noise. I can't take it any more! I jump up from bed - being careful not to knock my noggin on the upper bunk and creep across to the bathroom window fearing that a little bird has gotten itself trapped in the gazebo...no bird...the noise continues....I look down at the deck and at the corner of the cottage sits our cute little friend the chipmunk 'peanut'. Peanut was sitting there looking all cute chirping so loud his/her whole body was shaking. I ran to the kitchen (well stumbled is more like it) grabbed the peanuts, opened the door a crack and tossed out some nuts for the little guy to snack on. To this day, we still are unsure of who it was that set our chipmunk alarm to go off so early on the weekend.

On a side note - some of you may know that I have been attending Weight Watchers meetings - if you've invited me over, I've probably made a pain of myself by requesting there be veggies around and even bringing my own food...well it's paying off! As of last night I have lost 22.4lbs and I'm still going...just was excited about my progress and thought I would share - Thanks for dragging me there Mom!

Probably more exciting stuff after the weekend, so keep checking :)
