If we still could connect on Facebook I’d share this with you today —\u00a0 I’m 51 years old and very much afraid of bugs. Especially earwigs.\u00a0 And spiders. And bees.\u00a0 \u00a0True story.\u00a0 And I don’t see that changing anytime soon.\u00a0 I hate creepy crawlers.\u00a0 I don’t want them anywhere near me.\u00a0 The problem is they are everywhere.<\/p>\n

Just when I thought we were done with the millions of earwigs inhabiting our backyard, (they love the bird feeder) – bee season seems to be starting.\u00a0 I don’t like bugs.\u00a0 \u00a0Earwigs make me run and scream.\u00a0 I feel ridiculous every time.\u00a0 I mean, they’re small.\u00a0 But I see the pinchers and automatically think sudden death.\u00a0 I think pain.\u00a0 I think all sorts of unrealistic things.\u00a0 I don’t want to be anywhere near them.\u00a0 I don’t want them near me.\u00a0 What is their purpose in this world other than to create fear and panic? (smile)<\/p>\n

Now it’s the bees.\u00a0 I was out for a walk early this morning with my dog and a bee got too close.\u00a0 Personal space means nothing to them I guess.\u00a0 I gave it a swat.\u00a0 But not too aggressively because I don’t want to make it mad. (smile).\u00a0 It returned.\u00a0 All the outdoor space available and this bee wants to be in my space.\u00a0 \u00a0I walked faster.\u00a0 I swatted a little harder.\u00a0 A little more desperately.<\/p>\n

I hate bees more than I hate earwigs.\u00a0 And I know this time of year brings them out in full force.\u00a0 Messing with our heads.\u00a0 Mocking us.\u00a0 They know we’re scared.\u00a0 (smile)<\/p>\n

And that’s not the only thing I’m afraid of.\u00a0 I’m afraid of deep water.\u00a0 Can’t stand for my kids to walk to close to the rocks at the river.\u00a0 I panic inside.\u00a0 For fear of what COULD happen.\u00a0 I’m afraid of heights.\u00a0 I’m afraid of those metal grates in the roadways and sideways, convinced that if I step on one, I could fall to the middle of the earth never to be seen again.<\/p>\n

My mind can go in all directions.<\/p>\n

So let me ask you this – what are YOU afraid of????\u00a0 Is it as ridiculous and absurd as my fears are?<\/p>\n

And speaking of FOOD!\u00a0 Have you SEEN what’s new at the CNE in Toronto<\/a> this year??????????????????\u00a0 I’m intrigued by the Churros s’mores.\u00a0 The four-pound taco looks amazing but impossible to attempt.\u00a0 The butter chicken overload sounds amazing too, but it’s a huge NOPE for me on the frog legs, cheesburger ice cream, street corn lemonade and quarter pound cheese stuffed Doritos. A whole mound of deep fried cheese?\u00a0 No thank you.\u00a0 \u00a0So, would you or wouldn’t you try any of those new foods?\u00a0 Inquiring minds want to know.<\/p>\n
