Ants

antsAnts are gross.  All of last night and today I kept feeling like ants were crawling on me!  Yesterday, after work, I went to take out the trash.  One of the trash can handles were covered…COVERED…in ants.  It was so nasty!!  I think they were going after the cupcakes.  The other handle also had ants on it, but less.  I contemplated trying to drag the trash can out with just that one handle, but seeing all those ants really grossed me out.  So I went and got a napkin and put it on the right handle  (with less ants) and dragged the trash can out.  I checked my hands to make sure I had no ants on me.  Whew! Safe!

Then I went to use the restroom – then I saw an ant in the restroom!! :(  That means it was ON me!  So then I felt itchy all night long and kept feeling like ants were biting me.  I showered and that was that.

Today.  Today I was doing my own thing at work.  I felt something crawling on my face on my hair.  Then on my face.  It was an ANT!!!!!!!!!!!! I smashed an ant on my face at work.  SICK.  That is so gross.  There must be some ants on my clothes that I was wearing to take the trash out.  So disgusting.  So now, I still feel ants crawling all over me.  :(

I should have done what I was going to do – which was bring the bottle of all-purpose cleaner out and spray down the handles of the trash can before I touched it.

So GROSS.  I hope I don’t find any more ants on myself or in my room or at work or anywhere near me! :(

Random Fact 1

Let’s try something new with this blog here…

I am right-handed but I play cards left-handed and also like to open jars/bottles left-handed (although sometimes my left hand isn’t strong enough).

Bubbles

BubblesF. bought a bunch of bubbles from party city this weekend and we had a lot of fun playing with them.  This afternoon was a beautiful day.  It was warm, with a slight breeze, we were all just hanging out at the house and in the backyard.  I was blowing bubbles and watching them float away and a thought came to me.  Maybe bubbles exude happiness or at least…maybe they could.  After all, we  were having a lot of fun just playing with them and watching them.  It was so simple, so innocent.  What would happen if we stood somewhere with a good amount of foot traffic and just started blowing bubbles everywhere?  Maybe some people would get mad, but maybe it would make some people happy and just brighten up their day.  Maybe, they would want to join us.

Those thoughts were kind of driven by one of the things Jaeson Ma did for his 365 Days of Love campaign where he stood on the streets of Los Angeles and danced if people honked.  He just wanted to put a smile on people’s faces on a Friday afternoon.  It also made me think of Where the Hell is Matt?  P. had told me about this guy before.  He traveled around the world to do one silly little dance and had people all around the world join him.  Sure, it was backed by advertisement but it was so simple.  People were so happy to just dance.

Maybe bubbles can put a smile on someone’s face.

eyeball

I hope I don’t have a corneal abrasion :(  That would mean no contacts for awhile.  How am I going to play sports?! Gah.

I should just get LASIK.  No more contacts, no more glasses!  No more pain!  No more inconvenience. Yay!
