I am not a big bug person. In fact there are few people I know that truly like bugs. There was that one weird guy in high school that thought he could make a career out of being in love with bugs….but again he was weird.Anyway, the office building I work for has an exterminator come over every month. He sprays the inside and outside of the building. Because we have this monthly service we generally don’t see a lot of bugs. Occasionally we will see a roach or a cricket, but those are easily killed. However, for some reason this summer has left us with a bigger problem……scorpions in the office. They are all over the place and usually emerge about a week to ten days after the bug guy comes. Now by the time they start crawling out of the walls they are just about dead, but the problem we have is that they crawl into the deepest darkest places they can find to die.
This morning, my boss found one in his shoe that he took off for 10 minutes. Went to put it back on and there was a scorpion in his SHOE people….HELLO that is just wrong. The about 10 minutes later I was picking up something that had fallen on the floor and I look under my desk and there are three more. I freaked out…hit my head on my desk, said about 15 cuss words and screamed like a little girl. I would not go back to my office until some man decided that the coast was clear.
The right after lunch, the receptionist and I are talking about a project and going through a stack of envelopes that were in the storage closet. In the bottom of the box are two more dead scorpions. At that point I had had enough….I called the exterminator and told him in no uncertain terms that if he wanted there to still be a business to come to on a monthly basis he better figure out how the hell to get rid of these creatures.
Then I went to my boss's office and said the exterminator is on his way to deal with the creature problem…I’ll be back tomorrow. He was not happy, but I was thinking OK, six sightings in one day….next time I will probably sit or step on one…NO F-ING way! So, I’ve been home breathing into a paper bag trying to get my wits about me.
You want to know how badly I hate scorpions…..well, read Slick’s post about spiders…and that is how badly I hate scorpions…only difference between Slick and I is that I’m a girl….and he just screams like one!!! (love you buddy!!!)
It has been years since I had a cavity filled.....to be honest I really thought that cavities were something that only children got and once you became and adult you were exempt from having them again....apparently that is NOT the case. About two weeks ago I went to the dentist and he found a cavity on one of my upper left molars. OK, I can handle that...a cavity…… just a filling right...Yes...OK....got it. Well, I get there this morning for the appointment and I am nervous. I am not someone who gets nervous easily...and here I was just about to crawl out of my skin. I hate that feeling.

I really wish I could blame my bad attitude and general sense of being pissed off the last few days on PMS. I don’t know what has caused it, but PMS ain’t it…because Aunt Flo has come and gone and PMS isn’t due for at least another 2 weeks. I just really don’t know why I want to literally rip off anyone’s head that comes within 10 ft of my person. The only exceptions to this rule are my two kids….they can come and love up on me or just be general brats and I’m cool with that….but everyone else better watch out…This October I am sponsoring an event that has been near and dear to my heart for several years – Alzheimer’s Associations Memory Walk. You ask if this is a paid post and I have to say yes, but I have to say that I would sponsor anyway regardless of whether or not I was paid to do this post. Every year I give to the Alzheimer’s Association because I have had at least two people in my family diagnosed with the disease and several others that probably had the disease, but never got diagnosed properly. It is a dreadful disease that takes away loved ones minds long before their bodies are ready to leave this planet.
This year I will be sponsoring a local walker. She is local to my area and I am so proud that I can say that I know her and I know she is making a difference in regards to this disease. She was recruited by her Team Captain at work. The lady that is serving as her Team Capitan didn’t think it would be that easy to be a team leader. However, it is quite easy to sign up to be a Team Capitan just go to http://clk.atdmt.com/TGA/go/pyprpalz0030000037tga/direct/01/ and follow the links to sign up. Some of the requirements to be a Team Captain include:
In order to be a Team Captain, you need to sign up early to make sure you have enough time to build your team and recruit members. You also have to design a logo for your team and you will want to give yourself plenty of time to come up with an interesting logo.
So please take a minute to visit: http://clk.atdmt.com/TGA/go/pyprpalz0030000037tga/direct/01/ to find a walk in your area. Go to the local walk website and sponsor someone you know or someone you don’t know. Even the smallest donations are greatly appreciated and bring us one step closet to helping those we love stay health in body, mind and spirit.
Thanks again!
