Though there are plenty of more important things...
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 10:49PM I'd like to officially proclaim my desire that all mosquitoes everywhere be GONE! Ugh. I hate mosquitoes. Thoroughly. Unfortunately, they seem to very much like me, as I'm constantly being accosted. As evidence (though I don't really need further evidence given my lifetime experiences with the blasted bug), at Noah's soccer practice last night I suffered at least 20 bites from just the waist up (probably the same on my legs but I refuse to count). I have bites even on my stomach, people! (and, yes, I was wearing a shirt and long pants) I had people swatting me in attempts to help. Because apparently all the mosquitoes in the area decided to focus on me. Not one of the boys received a bite. Not one. Argh.
Hence. I hereby file this complaint. So there.

I KNOW! Last night the SAME mosquito bit me three times before my husband yelled "STAND STILL" and smacked my arm to get 'im! I was so happy to have that thing gone! Sorry you had to deal with them! At least mine was only one and it was inside with no chance for more!
I'm the exact same way. I HATE them. I refuse to walk to the mailbox across the street because I will come back w/ at least 10 bites.
I feel your pain. I think I hate ants as much as you hate mosquitoes. I know if I see one ant somewhere, there are 200 others with it! Yuck!
Take vitamin B. For some reason, it must change the "taste" of your blood and they won't bite! I live in Minnesota and our unofficial state bird is the mosquito, so I feel your pain, believe me! I'm usually the one in our family being stung.
They always swarm around me, too, Amanda! It must be because we are both so darned sweet ;o)
