Quite the catch

Recently, over Gchat:

RA: I think I could maybe handle a jade plant in my office
I have a nice, wide sill, so it’s calling out for a plant in the spring
it’s also helpful for when I have to kill the scary giant roaches

JG: haha
i’m so glad you can kill your own bugs

RA: usually, I’m wearing my pointy boots and it is quite the hassle

JG: that wouldn’t have been something I looked for in a wife but I’m going to recommend that to others

RA: haha
don’t forget “can eat her weight in steak”

JG: that’s awesome too

RA: tchyeah, I know.

JG: but not required

RA: oh, fine
optional feature

Ah, love.

I must admit - I force Bart to kill all the bugs unless they are the size of a pencil eraser or smaller. I just loate loathe loathe bugs. Especially since most bugs in Austin are cockroaches.

This would be a problem, since Chris and I both hate bugs to an irrational degree. In fact, I was helping a student at a computer today when a spider dropped down from the ceiling into her hair and I almost freaked out. But then I realized she’d freak out too, so I didn’t tell her and I walked away.

God, I am going to be the worst mother ever.

I want my optional feature/add-on to be “can eat her weight in Chipotle chicken burritos”. Thankyou. Thankyouverymuch. :-)

I am okay on bugs, but could use assistance on rodents and (god forbid!) snakes. If our current careers don’t work out, maybe we can partner together in an termite extermination business.

I definitely cannot kill bugs, haha. But can probably eat my weight in steak or pizza, so that’s a plus right?

There’s nothing I hate more than roaches. I run away screaming like a sissy!
