"He ate my sock!"

The other morning I was just waking up and something was itchy on my leg. I thought it was dry skin or something but when I went to itch it with my foot I felt a bump there. I had no idea what it was so I left my foot there and pulled the covers off to see what it was. It was one of my little friends, the Chinese beetles, that came in through our air conditioner last fall. I was horrified! I flung the thing off with my hand only to mash it in my haste and ended up with that nasty smell they emit all over my fingers! Yuck!

They are few and far between because I employed my vacuum cleaner several times in the chopping up of these little critters into orange dust but I guess this one little guy decided to crawl into bed with me since all his buddies - whom he would have normally sought out for warmth - were gone in a suction of wind.

So, I was telling this story to Jozie right it happened and she felt my pain! She hates them as much as I do and said that she saw one on her wall that same morning...what a coincidence! And when she tried to squish it it got away into her bed and the darn thing ate her sock! LOL We had a pretty good laugh over that one! I don't know where she came up with it but I suppose she had to come up with something better than having one crawl up her leg in her bed! :)
