NASTY BUG

Update: Nasty Bug Photo removed due to gag factor!!
Aaaaah!! Last night one of those giant cockroaches (palmetto bugs) from outside had gotten in. It was on my kitchen floor. I yelled at my DH to come and kill it for me (I am terrified of them b/c they fly!!) Well, when he got after it (on hands and knees) it ran straight for me! I was barefoot with shorts on. My phobia took over and I jumped over DH to get away from it b/c I just knew it was wanting to climb - or fly - straight up my leg. I could tell what it was thinking! A bug will always head for the person who is most terrified of it. YUCK! Well, now I have a terrible crick in my neck and a pain going all the way down to my hip from my gymnastic endeavors in trying to escape the cockroach. Sigh... My husband thinks I am crazy to be so afraid of a bug. I found a picture of one on the 'net - here is one on a dried up rose. Super yuck.

Oh Candace, I'm sorry but I had to laugh. We've got those giant American cockroaches over here. Once when my daughter was visiting, she came into my bathroom while I was taking a shower and said, "Mom, there's a huge cockroach in my room. You have to do something." I told her to go find her husband. I don't like to smash those things because they make such an awful crunch. My mom thinks nothing of stepping on them. Euuuchhh!

Serves me right! After chuckling about your cockroach, I saw one last night in our sink! It was the smaller German variety but fast! I mean FAST! I was swatting away with my slipper and almost missed him. Sheesh!

Oh yuck! I would have been the same as you EXCEPT I would not have put a photo of it on my blog because even the photo makes me want to gag!!!
Hope you feel better soon!
