it stinks in here....

so finally our exterminator came over. ok, should i start with what the problem was? first, why do i even have an exterminator? my exterminator? MY exterminator! yes, we actually have one. gross. once i get my head around that statement i'll be able to think clearly.

alright, we had these little baby flying bugs downstairs that we noticed about a week ago. and it's either me or them....so i call the guy to tell him i need help, i say, "they fly slow like they want me to kill 'em, they kinda look like moths, and they aren't really bothering me, but they leave marks on the walls, and hey, i really hate bugs." so my bug dude is all, "ok, no problem they sound like they are coming from the sewer and they are slime mold bugs." um, gross. slime mold? how does this guy know this stuff? i bet i could pick a bug from off the internet, explain to him what it looked like and he would know it. what a sick job. how do you get into that? anyway, he finally came today...i've been waiting a week. just killing slime mold bugs, don't mind me. so, george (bug dude) came over and he's like a mad scientist. jason and i really like this guy, he is so funny...without being funny or knowing how funny he is. he reminds me of einstien, crazy hair and all, and he is very smart, he's an entomologist (look it up) he ran for mayor (years ago), he has his PHD, and he's an entrepreneur...he's been in all types of businesses, the latest being honey. yep, after he mixed 5 potions to pour down our drain (all smelling of rosemary and evergreen?!) he then sold us a jar of honey. what? he told us he's a bee keeper (surprise) and he sells this honey for $7 a jar. "it has healing powers, and could help with arthritis." so i bought some for my mom. HI MOM. he gave us several first hand stories of how his honey has helped all kinds of people from several different maladies. maybe we're suckers for a guy who knows his bugs....maybe we're just suckers. so, $132 later we should be bug and sickness free thanks to george, the most interesting person to have walked in our front door and stink up our house. (well besides nick....)
