A Tasty Treat

September 1st

I know better than to hang out in my backyard at dusk without first applying a bottle of bug spray... but I went ahead & did it anyway! My legs may not seem all that fancy to the human eye, but to any type of bug they are a tasty treat. I had 50 bites from my knees down!

Jeff thinks I'm a nut job (for various reasons really, but we're only discussing this one) & if I didn't have the marks to prove it, I am positive he would think I am exaggerating. He doesn't fully understand why we can all be outside, he & Hannah could get a few little bites & I get attacked.
I tried to come up with the best analogy I could for the situation & it was one that involved the Twilight books. I am like Bella to the little blood suckers & if I'm not around they'll settle on something else that is satisfying, but if I'm there they can't resist me & can't be bothered with the others. He did NOT appreciate my comparison, & I just got a rolling of his eyes rather than the laugh I was working towards!

I can tell you from past experience that you have the best smelling blood. As a child you were the one who would be eaten alive - can you say "WEST NILE VIRUS" please always wear bug spray
