Bugs
I'm not a fan. Q was working late, so I was going to bed alone. Not a big deal, but he's normally the one on bug patrol. If I see a spider or a bug or something weird, it is HIS job to kill it. Now you all know that I love to camp and play in the dirt BUT still, I hate the feeling of beetle shells crunching when I stomp em. And I have a ten month old, so I DO stomp when the need arises. ANYWAY, let me take you back to last night. There I was, propped against my pillows reading blogs and Facebook, all alone, when a massive - semi drunk bug - began swirling around the bed banging into the curtains. It was disgusting. I of course grabbed a magazine and began wildly swinging at the air. EVENTUALLY I hit the thing, and then it disappeared. I'm assuming that I injured it and it crawled away into some recess to die. So I went to sleep, to the sound of rain, knowing that SOMEWHERE the bug was hopefully dying. Morbid, I know.

oops... mis-spell... *would've
This post cracks me up. It is like I always seen the sweet innocent ;) la. But now I have seen the sinnister slighty morbid La. ;). Sorry about the gross bugs!
I kill my own bugs. I'm with you on not liking the crunchy sound/feeling, though. They don't bother me until their abdomen and/or thorax are the size of quarters and they're hairy or overly colorful. Ummm...then I get serious goose bumps and run away.
I am a wimp with bugs. HATE them. I do kill them when necessary, but yeah...I sympathize with you. The bigger they are, the harder they are to 'crunch'. I'm battling ants right now at my house. Yuck.
Today I watched a bitter battle between a huge fly and a wolf spider in my kitchen. It was crazy!! I had to hang onto my dog, cuz she so wanted in the mix. Kung fu was involved. I am so impressed that you slept after *maybe* killing that thing. I would have to see its severed corpse before resting easy.
Oh I just hate bugs! I usually just put a cup over them until my husband gets home, so he can deal with it!
Ewwwwww. That is the worst, when the bug goes somewhere and you can't dispose of it.
I am such a typical girl when it comes to bugs. Small ones - including small spiders - I can deal with. But anything bigger than a dime sends me into a fit of hysterical screaming.
