So what else is new? I'm still not a fan of nature. Or creepy crawlies. Or slimy things. And yet. My life is fraught with disgusting experiences with those things. What is THAT about?

On Tuesday night, we did a whiteboard with our starsi. That was nice. Except for the part where A BUG FLEW INTO MY EYE AND THEN GOT STUCK THERE. That was fetching disgusting. And it freaked me out. So naturally I freaked out. I was just sitting there, minding my own business, talking to Monty and Elder Jaeger for a second, and then he says to me, all matter of factly, "There's a bug in your eye." And then I said some angry loud things for a second (because there was a bug in my eye! What the flip would YOU do in a situation like that?!) So then Monty had to extract it's small corpse from my eye. It was every bit as gross as it sounds. Ugh. I'm getting ill just reminiscing about it.

On Saturday, Monty and I were in a park. And it was VERY wet. It rained from sun up to sun down. But we've got to contact, and we've got to contact somewhere, and there aren't really people anywhere, so a park. That is what happened. Anyways. We were in the park. And then she was like, "Oh look, a toad!" And I was like, "WHAT?! Gross! ... Pick it up!" She said no. But then we found another toad, and she picked up that one. So as she's holding the toad, I pulled out my camera to take a picture (because what else would you do?), took a picture, then I was taking another one, and she was like, "Oh!" So I look at the picture I just took, and there's no toad in her hands. It had literally JUST leapt from her hands. So I freaked out, and screamed, and ran halfway down the path in case it was coming after me. GROSS. But I survived, so it's cool. Also, later down the path, we found the TINIEST FROGS ON THE PLANET. They were literally half the size of my pinky fingernail. It was CRAZY! They were adorable. (Well, as adorable as slimy nature can possibly be). I made Monty hold one of those too. And then, we found a GIANT snail. It was disgusting. But Monty held it. She's a trooper, that comp of mine!

Okay.

So.

I know this was a SUPER lame email. But I gotta run.

LOVE YOU ALL like CRAZY a lot!
