The One With Total Insect Warfare Resumed

I realize my blog has been on hiatus, but, truly not that many interesting things happen here unless I wanted my blog to turn into a customer service gripe-fest, but, I know that the daily happenings of Ryan and Ashley has a HUGE following so I shall do my best to update more frequently. At least until school starts! 


Most of my daily activities include reading wedding blogs, looking at wedding dresses online, forcing Ryan to listen to and act interested in all of my wedding ideas. For the week that Ryan was at his Annual Training in West Virginia I also spiced up my afternoons by playing the Harry Potter video game on XBOX and reading Twilight. Full dork mode. 

One of those days however, while I was getting ready to go to work I saw that we had an unwelcome visitor creeping down the hall away from the kitchen. I frantically searched for the giant can of roach spray and called Ryan in a panic. There was no more roach spray and I suddenly couldn't find my friend again. Ryan told me to trap it under a glass until I came back from work. I did, and there was a lot of squealing involved. 

After work, I marched myself right down to the Harris Teeter, picked myself up an arsenal of insecticides and came home to make sure that Penny hadn't knocked over my glass and allowed my prisoner to escape. She hadn't. So, I lifted up the glass, sprayed the crap out of the bug and trapped him again when he tried to run under our wine rack cabinet. Every 5-10 minutes I liked to lift up the glass again and spray and trap him in a cloud of DEATH. After about an hour I decided he was good and dead and I sucked him up in the vacuum tube, emptied the vacuum into a trash bag and promptly took it outside. 

Currently I am waiting for the exterminator to come since Ryan found a dying roach by our back door this morning. It is clearly time for a full frontal attack! Stay tuned.
