Bugs. Let me tell you about the bugs here.When it comes to critters, I like to think
I’m a brave girl, daring even. Mama didn’t raise me
to be a city wimp, and I have often found a lot of them to be cute even. But
when I don’t know what they are, nor what they do, and they’re ten times the
size I’m used to? I’m not too keen on the whole “bug” idea. Oh but I have NEVER
done cockroaches. Nuh uh. That’s where I draw the line on the whole tolerance
thing. Oh and did I mention I just found one in the middle of my laundry room
floor? Yeah…..YEAH.
A little bit paranoid right now….not gonna lie.

| Yes I took this, it's a real China Bug. Blech. And it's about 3 inches long. |
....Okay so I just went and checked to see if it was still there....and it is! But...it's not a cockroach....hahaha. But let me tell you, that is one GIANT beatle. And I am NOT exaggerating when I say it's two inches long and an inch wide. It's been stuck on it's back for the last hour, so I took pity on it (and desperately wanted it gone) so I took a bowl hoping to scoop it up and throw it over the edge....but I accidentally shot it across the room and it hit the wall. Well I know 2 things now. It's shell is incredibly hard because it sounded like I through a plastic pen. And it's very good at playing dead. Either way, I'm done thinking about it.
Hey Blythe, had it brought to my attention that you have this blog things going and that you've also been skyping a bit with the states. I figured I could do a better job of keeping up on you and, well, your bug situation. I'll catch up more when I'm more mentally coherent but I had a chance to read some and am impressed with you for making this life-adventure happen. Hoping nothing but the best!
