The Cockroach

So based on the title, y'all know this is going to be about a creepy, crawly, insect that everybody hates (except for maybe entomologists). I love my small little critters, and think they're quite fascinating, but the blattodea family has always given me the creeps if I meet them free-ranging in my own house. The small little guys gross me out but if they escape, my brain just automatically assumes that they have vanished from my house. The big guys however... They. Must. Die.

So last night Im getting ready for bed in the bathroom. Im about to wash my face when I look onto my shelf and notice something that resembles a black hair sticking up and waving about behind some of my things. I change my view and notice that its the antennae of a large cockroach. This sucker was probably 2 inches long (not including antennae). Immediately I yell "eeeahhh! Help!" I run to the bedroom where Ty looks up at me with raised eyebrows from behind his iPad with a look on his face like "this better be important cause I dont want to get up"

I say "Ty, Theres a cockroaccchhhh... I can't kill it, you have to kill it!!"
He gives me the look again for a second, not moving when I say "come ooooonnn, hurry!"
Im usually pretty manly, unless it comes to cockroaches and then I turn into a little girl...
So he slowly gets up and looks at the roach and doest do anything.
I stand on the counter to get a better view and say "Get it, Get it!!"
He looks up, laughs at my hysterics then tries to squish it using some of my products that are on the shelf already. It doesn't work and he looses sight of the monster.

I say "Ty, You HAVE to find it!" Again he is laughing at me when he says, "I think it went in the hole there. I can't get it." Just when i start to think that the bugger has escaped and will come back to lay its babies in my toiletries, Ty spots it and with a quick grab, has him squished in a napkin. He goes to through the guy outside and when he comes back I bow at Ty, "My Hero!" I laugh.

On the way to work the other day, Ty mentioned that Im the weirdest person he knows and Im pretty proud of that statement. Id like to thank my parents for raising me, Jenna Marbles for introducing me to more ways of trolling, and my friends and family for hanging out with me even though I do some weird shit. Y'all are the best!

  1. I like the Jenna Marbles shout out. I contribute all of my trolling behaviours toward her. Also, thats exactly how I handle cockroaches here, must be related or something ;)

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Hopefully, Im Back in the Game

Ive been horrible with posting to my blog and Id like to take a minute to apologize to myself for not keeping up with it and then the say a little sorry to people who actually follow my blog, and if you keep up with it then... go you! Just a little update on whats going on here and then Im hoping tomorrow Ill be able to write a blog about how awesome my cousins wedding was this past weekend! So, Im currently in Philly working where I was this Spring at College Settlements. I love my coworkers and I love where Im at. I feel comfortable and happy at work, now only if I was closer to the city for my social life... I have to brag about my dude who just started a new job in DC as the captain of an education vessel. He's adulting so hard and Im so proud. Makes me want to step up my game and start semi-adulting. I want to get a job there after this job is over for the fall. So, If you've got any leads... This summer/Fall have been a bit insane, in a good way.  I sp...
