ah, a modern conundrum. on saturday night, we had a campfire and i applied bug spray to my arms and legs, but unfortunately forgot to spray my feet, which were exposed in sandals. yesterday i felt fine, but today i've discovered that i have about 6 mosquito bites on each of my feet. good times. luckily i am wearing sandals so i am able to slip ( Read more... )

wild craziness, movies, lists

I saw Match Point in the theater with my boyfriend, right before I found out I was pregnant! I liked the film but it freaked me out. :(

yeah, after seeing it i'd be a little hesitant to tell my partner i was pregnant (especially if he was married!).

6 mosquito bites?

That's it?

roxy_fondue June 26 2006, 15:41:42 UTC

but it's itchy! and annoying! and 6 is a lot!

please pity me.

Aren't you glad I didn't come visit and force you to wear real clothes? I'm actually really glad I didn't come with my parents for the weekend because from the sounds of things people were a bit nuts. I don't like dealing with nuts, unless I can eat them.

Did you know that they make clear calamine lotion now? For reals. I'm borderline allergic to bugbites (never diagnosed, I just swell and itch like crazy) and I have to remember to pick some up so that I can be prepared.

I am borderline allergic too. I mean, I must be because I get huge welts and horrible itching. Unfortunately, I have found nothing that makes them feel better except me scratching them to open bloody wounds because I would rather deal with the pain then the itch.

i like to dig my finger nail into the mosquito bite until it's red and almost bleeding. i prefer the pain to the itch, too.

right now they are fine but if they itch again, i will buy some of that clear calamine lotion. i remember having the chicken pox when i was 10 and having these pastel pink spots all over because of the calamine lotion.

I was outside last night for about 5 minutes and I got 4 bug bites (on my feet too!). I was going crazy all night itching my feet. I tried hydrocortisone but that shit does not help :-(

I feel your pain.

roxy_fondue June 26 2006, 16:24:56 UTC

literally!

this goes to show that i should really just stay inside all of the time and watch television.

oh man perogies.

roxy_fondue June 26 2006, 16:25:38 UTC

imagine perogies and then cupcakes for dessert?

i don't think i could even handle that.

I got momentarily trapped inside a food daydream there.
