I don’t like bugs

Why does it seem that all the bugs that ever end up in my house always gravitate towards my room?! They are out to get me, I tell you.

Here’s an example, a couple years ago there was this strange spot forming in one corner of the ceiling in my room. I thought it was strange, but I did not say anything for a while. I don’t know why, maybe because I thought I’d get into trouble for it. It’s not like I decided to put a spot up there, just teenage instinct, I guess.

Anyways, time went on and either I finally decided to tell my parents or they noticed it themselves. I don’t remember which, but somehow they found it. Long story short, turns out there was a bee hive in the attic that is above my room. And it was getting large by the day with the spot. Needless to say, I was freaked out, but relieved the problem was resolved.

To display my distaste for bugs, I created an illustration to make a clear demonstration of my feelings.One of the worst things to happen when you do find a bug is to discover that it flies. That is just UNFAIR.

Although I do not entirely embrace bugs’ existence, I am always very hesitant to kill them. My biggest fear? That their families and friends will come back to get me. Like this.I swear, it makes sense. When you really think about it. I mean, if bugs have like feelings..you know. It’s possible.

On to spiders. Yes, they are a whole new category. They’re icky. They’re creepy. They’re scary. And not cute. 

Not only are they all the above^, they are also incredibly SNEAKY! Have you heard that like people swallow spiders in their sleep!!?! YUCCKKKK.

It makes me never want to sleep again.

Once again, I’m always scared to kill them because of this…

Corn, Black Bean, and Salmon Salad

heaping 1/4 c. Corn

heaping 1/4 c. Black Beans, washed and drained

1/4 c. tomatoes, chopped

3 c . lettuce, chopped

1 1/2 T. salsa, (I used the Salsa Lisa mild avocado salsa, YUM)

4-6 oz. Salmon, seasoned and cooked**

  1. Make sure all ingredients, except salmon, are chopped and sliced to your liking and dump all into bowl. Mix ingredients together. Top with salmon, cut into strips. Tasty warm or the second day from the fridge for lunch!

** The salmon tastes best if you season it very well. I recommend just using a bunch of spices. Whatever you’ve got. We just used Montreal Steak Seasoning. But we also like to use Interstate Barbecue Seasoning. Once again though, any seasoning will be great!
