I came home a couple of days ago to these random little bugs traveling as a family across my kitchen floor! I'm not sure if they travel daily, and on this particular day, I came home early and interrupted this daily move, or if they were migrating from behind the trash can to the stove for the winter?? Whatever the case, I smashed that family to smithereens and decided to invest in a pack of bug bombs! So this morning I loaded my sleepy kids in the car, put the dog in the garage for the day (in his new cute sweater) and set 6 of those bombs off in my little 1000 square foot house - assuming that was plenty to get the job done! Growing up my mom was, and I suppose still is, an avid user of 'bug bombs' but I honestly don’t recall the "after-math." For anyone who knows me, I am beyond a clean freak (with dishes as my exception). I use the vacuum cleaner daily and do a good vacuum and mop job at least once a week. I have all wood floors so there are not piles of dust and goobers in the corner . . . I am CLEAN!! So we came home tonight and I was shocked to find dead bugs all over the floors - Spiders and flies and unknown creepy crawlers -I must ask, is this normal?? Has anyone used these bombs before?? Where the heck were all these bugs hiding?? Okay, so maybe there weren’t hundreds, but definitely enough to make me scared to sleep tonight!!
I was raving at work today about wanting to be the "Lizard Wizard," and travel around schools with my collection of reptiles and cool bugs, I guess I got my trial run and even though the Lizard Wizard is such a cool name, I resign!!
. . . and now my AWESOME present. . .
For my birthday last week my wonderful sisters got me that IPod thing that is compatible with Nike shoes. I was super stoked to get it but really didn’t know what it did. I already had a pair of compatible Nike shoes (AKA my Not So Amazing Shoes) and finally decided to figure it out last night so I could use it on my run today. It tracks distance, time, calories and plugs into the computer and keeps an ongoing log. Before my run today, I input the time requirement for the day and was surprised when 5 minutes into the run this little voice interupts the music and said "5 minutes completed, 55 to go," then every five minutes it gave me an update. I normally track my long runs with a car the night before but with this, I can input the number of miles I need to run and the woman will come on and tell me ever mile I reach - it is so cool, you can even change the voice that gives you updates!! I am so amazed at technology and especially LOVE my IPod and Nike companion and I highly recommend :)
