Bugs

Summer is definitely the time for bugs. Let me give you a few examples. I'll start with the ones I hate the most. Palmetto bugs. It's southern for really big cockroach.



Yuck. And the worst part is that they fly. Sometimes we jokingly refer to them as our state bird. Anyway, these are definitely not fun.

The next kind is another undesirable type of bug, although much less terrifying. The mosquito. Simply walking into my backyard can get you roughly 20 bites from these guys. Or girls I should say since only the females suck your blood.



Yummy. But try not to worry about them too much. It's summertime and you will get bitten so put on some bug repellent and forget about it.

The next type of bug is, in my opinion, sort of cute, and much like butterflies, I don't mind having them crawl on me. Fireflies, or if you prefer: lighting bugs.



In summer, my little sister and I go out and catch as many as we can!

And lastly, and most recently is the rare (and more abstract): love bug.


Didn't see that one coming did you? Alright, so I don't know if it's love, but I sure do like this guy a lot. Tonight he took me to a Brave's game and put his arm around me during the game. Then he held my hand on the car ride home.  On my front porch I thought that he was going to kiss me. A hug goodnight, and then we looked at each other. There was a tiny moment and then...another hug. It almost happened. Anyway, he's unlike anyone I've ever dated before.

My apologies

It has been much too long since I updated my blog. I just got caught up with summer and whatnot.

A lot has happened since I last wrote, but not as much as if I had been in school all this time. Some of the things I've done:

  • Went to Six Flags
  • Slept outside
  • Been to a movie
  • Shopped at yard sales, thrift stores, and Goodwill
  • Went to a farmer's market
  • Went on an awkward date
  • Went on an awesome date
  • Baked cupcakes
  • Read books
  • Skyped with best friend
  • Cleaned my room (and promptly messed it back up again)
  • Updated my wardrobe with upcycled clothing I worked on
  • Babysat
  • Cleaned houses for money
  • Got my car fixed
  • Went to the lake
  • And of course, cross-country roadtrip
That's all for now. I could keep typing to make my life seem more interesting, but anyway, I just wanted to write down some of the things I did. I should really be making a better record of this awesome summer I'm having. Maybe I'll work on that today. I also need to find a job, but with only two months to work, I have little motivation.
