“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Miss Pathetic!

Don't jump to conclusions - I'm talking about me!!!!

LOL!!!

I got home from work today and when I turned on the bathroom light, there was a cockroach RIGHT THERE.

You know I'm crap with bugs.

Like really crap.

Out came the girly squeal and the ghastly thing ran under the cabinet. I ran upstairs desperate to find some bug spray...and made do with furniture cleaner instead!!

But it didn't work.

Man, those things move FAST!! And every time the thing moved, I just screamed and broke out into a horrific sweat. I knew I wouldn't be able to go to sleep knowing that it was there so I called a friend to help me.

I know, I know and I admit it - I'm just a pathetic girl when it comes to these things!

It took my friend less than 5 minutes to get over here armed with bug spray and a shoe. She and her friend barely flinched as they killed the thing while I was hiding on the staircase in case it came running out. I'm never convinced they're really dead so they took it outside - I didn't want it anywhere near my house.

God, I'm so grateful.

I have no idea why I'm so bad with bugs. I was absolutely mortified when my friend told me that cockroaches get in through the air conditioning - OMG!!! I'm so scared to have it on now! I always wondered how they managed to get in.

Talk about being paranoid! Think I might just grin and bear the heat! I'm scared a cockroach is gonna come and fall out on my head!

Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it!

=(

Why do these horrid things exist?!
