really gnats?! reeeallly?! did you really need to find your home in our boring little town and attack us as we walk to class??
i wish i was kidding but, we suddenly have a HUUUUGE gnat infestation out in the midwest apparently, because these.gnats.are.everywhere.
it's gross. it's disgusting. it's horrifying. (i promise you i am not being dramatic!)
they are everywhere!! people are afraid to leave their apartments, their dorms, their HOMES!! i walked to class today and had about 30 stuck to my clothes, a few stuck to my lip gloss, a few that i ate, in my eyes, in my NOSE! and for goodness sake, in my hair!!! i bet the fact that i have curly hair is like a happy little haven to these little nasty gnats.
i drenched myself in bugspray this morning...still no cure. i think i have probably consumed just as many gnats as food recently. want to hear the worst part of it all?! they aren't going anywhere.
not until the first frost.
which is not until decemeber usually.
i don't know if i can survive this long with the gnats living on me. they are not welcome here. noooo siree. blech blech blech.
anywaaaays.
tonight we are having a women's night, and i have to give a personal testimony/info about conference! i'm a little nervous that i won't say the right things. i get really nervous when i talk in front of large groups...something i should probably get over. fast. please say a prayer for me at 7:30 if you think of it?? =]
have a wonderful night!!
**Edit**
someone told me they are aphids.... but i still think they are gnats. baha. either way --- sick.

Yuck! We are infested with bugs here too! The first frost is usually in October, silly!! You only have like another month! :) Good luck at the FOCUS thing tonight! Let me know how it goes! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least its not mosquitoes! :) They have literally eaten me alive this summer.
ReplyDeleteUGH bugs are so nasty! I'd probably get one of those full body nets that beekeepers wear... lol!
ReplyDeleteI will pray for you to have courage and all the right things to say for your testimony tonight! I feel you on the getting nervous in front of a group thing. I get so anxious too. It's great to have practice though- you can only get better!
Speaking of FOCUS... of the people I've talked to about it so far from Newman, a good number of them have shown interest!! I brought it up at the student planning meeting we had last week, which only represents a small number of the students who actually go to Newman. I just wanted to give it a test run to see if people would be excited, and they are! At the next student mass we'll make a bigger announcement. I. Am. So. Excited. For. Conference!
Oh, hehe... well I'm glad your talk went well last night!
ReplyDeleteI'm about 6 hours (driving) from the NYC area so I'd have to check with my group and see what we'd want to do. I'll let you know! You're always so great about offering helpful ideas :)
we have gnats in our house, if that's what they're called. my husband makes fun of me for clapping to try to get rid of them. we also have crickets, which will be taken care of this thursday. so annoying and creepy!
ReplyDeleteHey love, I left you a little somethin' on my blog!
