real women kill bugs

We've had a heat wave hit Milwaukee the past two days. It's been hot, humid... and buggy! Don't get me wrong, I love living on the east side next to the lake, but I have to deal with lots of bugs... mosquitoes, moths, bees, hornets, wasps, spiders (about 50 different kinds) centipedes, potato bugs.... ugh. any and all types of creepy crawly critters.

Tonight I found out just how buggy it can really be. I can kill a spider, a centipede, anything really. but tonight defined the fear I feel for insects. I was in my room when I saw something the size of a small bird dive bomb at my head. I screamed and yelled for my roommate - "Steph, there is a moth in my room the size of Egypt!"

After securing her bedroom and bathroom door, she said wait, what about Egypt!? I was confused... I said no there is a moth, it's huge! Apparently so huge I thought it was as large as a middle eastern country. after scouring my room for it with no luck, I finally laid eyes on the beast, and with the help of a bottle of lotion and a small ceramic frog figurine and my most amazing roommate, the beast was gone,

That's how a lady kills a moth.
