*squish*

so, i'm walking to work this morning (i park about 3 blocks away from my building) and the most random thing happens. i am wearing a pair of slides, so when i walk, my heel comes off of the shoe, right? well, as i'm taking a step, this big ol' grasshopper somehow finds it's way to my shoe as i'm in mid-stride. before i even know what has happened, my foot connects with the pavement. bug: *squish* me: *gasp* EWE! so, i'm standing on the sidewalk - frozen. wondering wtf just happened, and why i have bug juice all over my foot and shoe. talk about disgusting. thankfully, i have some tissue in my purse. i attempt to clean it up - which, by the way, has me gagging - and i proceed to walk on to my building. gross, gross, gross. at least it wasn't a spider - i probably would've passed out. no lika da spiders. in other news -- the temperature is back to normal, so i guess the weather pixie's have come back out to play. (see sidebar) they haven't been around the last week or so since it's been cool. i'm assuming they just didn't have a thing to wear because they only have their summer wardrobe out right now. anyway, we're glad to have them back.
