I blame it on Texas
August 12th, 2009 Posted 6:48 pm
What do I blame on Texas? Bugs. Bugs in my house. Outside. Bugs in my cats. And now bugs on my cats? Too much for this lady to handle. Luckily, I don’t have bed bugs, at least. You know like the little rhyme: “Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite”? I acutally said that to Ryan when he signed off MSN tonight and while it’s not something I really worry about, bed bugs do exist.
Granted, they’re a lot less common than they used to be in the middle ages or whatever but if you find some bugs creeping and crawling around your mattress or linens they could be bed bugs. They’re specially common in the southeastern states and places in Africa, too. The little blood suckers can be found in hotels, too, so it doesn’t hurt to check out your travel accommodations with a fine toothed comb. No one wants to deal with the rashes these bugs can leave, that’s for sure. And if you do have a nasty infestation, you can go ahead and call the people at Orkin to take care of your unwanted guests.
Needless to say, I am more than ready to move to a cooler, less bug-filled climate.

…is a name of a book Samantha likes and she says the name in a totally cute way. It’s also the name of the problem I’ve been lately. The house is full of bugs, no doubt due to the hot weather but I wish they’re stay outside. I was at Target today and invested in some raid which Ryan’s cousin so graciously picked out because, honestly, who knew they make so much bug spray?! I hope it takes care of the ant-like bugs, the slug-like bugs, the small hornet/mosquito-like bugs (alternatively, they could be giant mosquito/hornet-like bugs LOL), the spiders (not insects but still) and the bees – especially the ants that keep going in the kitty food. Arg! I’ve seen 4 different kinds of bugs in the last 4 days.
