				Oh my gosh!!
			 
 I was sitting at the bar in the dining room filling some papers out earlier today when I happened to look down at the floor and saw, upon first impression, a huge brown spot on my nice spotless floor.  I took a second glace and realized it was the biggest CRICKET I have ever seen.  This ain't ya regular garden variety cricket, I get these sometimes, they're cave crickets.  Of course, I nearly died (I HATE bugs), I sprayed him with wasp killer from about 10 feet away and watched him die.  UGH, then I scrubbed the spot! LOL 
I know, I know, I don't live in a cave, but they come out of the cellar (that I have NEVER been in, yuck) I guess, god knows how they get in    But anyway...I just wanted to share, it left me in a bit of a panic lol
 
As far as I know, they're the only "pests" I have, every once in a while a few of them migrate up here and I have to call backup.. I don't like ANYTHING that hops (except bunnies   )
 
Another thing...They seem to die when exposed to light for long periods of time     I'm freaked out.

 Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

	| Crickets are nasty! :eek;
 We have grasshoppers here that are bright yellow and green and the size of a small animal. First time I saw one I was home alone and I about died.
