I hear you! I got 36 mosquito bites on just one of my legs alone (I was too tired to count the other side) AND I was on a girlie shopping trip to the “big city”…I would catch people glancing at me, look horrified at my legs and try to to run away screaming. It was not fun.

I cannot ABIDE mosquito bites! Or fleas either. Anything that sucks blood is just gross. Fortunately hey have been so aggressive about fighting the West Niles virus around here there are hardly any of the buggers.

I am getting totally sick of the heat, though.

Sarah, I just had to write a blog post about this because after reading, it occure to me that I’ve gotten NOT ONE misquito bite this season, and I’m far from a shut it. I think it’s the pregnancy. And, I think that’s awesome. So what if I feel like a bowling ball is falling out of my junk? At least I have no bug bites.

I actually dared to think (ever so briefly this morning before slapping myself stupid) that I may in fact want the cold already too. Gasp. I’m so not a cold person, but having just spent a month in Australia, I realise that I look better when covered from head to toe. Sad really isn’t it. I look 20lbs thinner than when I wear summer clothes that tend to accentuate every single fat roll.

As for the bugs. Knick off.

The thing I loved most when I lived in the Rockies was that, at least once a month (even July most years) the temperature at night would dip to almost freezing and kill all the mosquitos within hundreds of miles.

Now that I live in Eastern Canada (weather like Maine)I can not wait for that first autumn night when those whiny little bastards get what they got comin to them. I don’t want winter exactly, just one cold night. Bring on the frost.

(continued) you can’t find your camera. I mean, gross.

I too am looking forward to cooler weather. It’s been in the high 90’s here in the SF/Bay Area. Yes, I know; it’s a dry heat. Well so’s a fucking oven and I don’t want to live in one of those.

I love the cool weather - the cold is just okay. Everyday now I think, ‘Soon I won’t have to shave…soon I won’t have to maintain this pedicure.’ And then there’s all the good stuff you mentioned - football, stew, roasts, boots, sweaters, jackets, changing leaves, Halloween…all the best stuff.
