Summer Guests and Pests

I've been a cleaning fanatic the past two days. I'm prepping to usher out some very unwanted guests (of the big scary cockroach assortment) and welcome some highly anticipated ones (of the human, former roommate sort).

I guess before one chemically bombs the crap out of their home, it's wise to put most things away. I'm not a huge fan of anything chemical... usually using just water to clean... however if this gets rid of the cockroaches, the more toxins the better!

Having an uber clean house should also keep them somewhat at bay. We all remember how terribly I handled the one beetle who came into my house last year. This year, at least I have a brave roommate to attack the crunchy buggers, the only problem is there are many more of them. He's getting a little annoyed at what he calls my shrilling "life or death" scream. Instead, he suggested I calmly but firmly say, "Oh look, there's a bug. Nick will you please take care of the situation?"... uh, file that under never.

At the end of the day, it has been great motivation to get everything spic and span for Jamie, Marty and Mr. T. I am very excited for you all to come visit, it has been far too long!

I am dying of laughter at Nick's suggestion for what you should say when you find a cockroach!

You know there are no cockroaches in the Kan, right? I'm just saying...;)
