Aaaahhhh! I think I found my worst enemy!
The Weevil!!
The eater of my pasta! My precious precious pasta!
The only reason to live for! My grains!
If I were to be a bug in the next life I would choose to be a weevil.
But as I am NOT a weevil this is the worst news ever!
I'm full of grains and pasta and such, are they gonna eat me?
I showed Evan the bugs I have been killing around the house.
He announces they are weevils. What are weevils?
"Oh they eat your wheat, grains, ya know, pasta, rice, cereal etc. Well I gotta go now, buh bye!"
You CANT just tell me that someone/something else is eating my pasta besides me and then think you can just walk away and just leave me with that horrible news!
This can't be happening to mmeeee. Take someone elses pasta, rice, flour, and beans they don't eat! I eat like a poor college student still I've realized...
I could have attracted them, they could have come from a neighbors and been attracted to my plethra of goodies, and I could have brought it in from a product at the store. Who knows. Now I have to go through the whole pantry. Including my roommates food. I have been irritated with her food managing (lack of) skills lately and wouldn't be surprised if she had some infested food sitting in there next to mine. She really needs to clean out the outdated food from the fridge its starting to smell. And the food that isn't outdated in the fridge yet I think I'm going to eat it. She won't notice. She doesn't eat anything she buys, she doesn't even come home and even if she does she doesn't eat.
This morning I briefly forgot about the weevils (how could I do that?) and ate some cereal from on top of the fridge. *twitch twitch* Well, that freaking out lead me to research weevils online and I come to find that they won't make you sick (I guess) and in fact are a great source of protein and ppl in other countries eat them all the time..... some call it "Bonus rice" or something... By the second bowl I remembered and was inspecting the box, bag, and cereal in my bowl watching for something to move.
I also learned they somehow become moths at some point in a growing stage? That reminded me of the giant moth on the back of Loryn's fork/salad in LA when we went out to eat with her friends/family. Ew. Needless to say we lost our appetities, esp her. But apparently in another country that would just be protein.
Oh my gosh my kitchen is covered in all those products they tell you that weevils eat!!! It could be anything!! I literally have like no food in the fridge b/c all I eat are those kinds of products that are in the pantry! Like, everything I eat is in a box or a can and only the cans are safe! I have to open and look through everything before I eat it!!! Well, unless I just want to have 'bonus' foods..... Just like kids eating dirt and bugs, just protein right? *twitch twitch* And its not exactly weevils you are looking for in the food its little worm thingys crawling around and is prolly the same color as your pasta or rice! Ew! I hate it when bugs crawl on the wall (I call it "the walls move") I can't handle it when my food is moving also!!
I'm pritti sure I'm starting to hate home ownership. Well, I kinda hated it from the beginning getting to know this house. But, the last house had its own issues and I just replaced issues with different ones. Now the dishwasher doesn't work as well, but the dryer will actually dry clothes. Instead of mice running around I have weevils now. Instead of damaged, old, cracked walls and such I have thin walls and can hear everything. Instead of a swamp cooler I have a higher bill to pay, but that is okay with me!
Must purchase many bay leaves and cover my kitchen in them.
I can't even think about eating ANY food without inspecting for anything moving in it. I don't feel like eating anything for awhile...
I have a random thought about abortions: If women dont think it is wrong to have an abortion, why do they carry this 'burden' (as some might call it) of remembering that act/decision the rest of their lives and at some point in their life (usually when they are married and having more children) regret their decision they made 15-20 years ago? And if they dont think its wrong, why do some women experience a "finally feel forgiven" moment in their lives like 15-20 years after their decision? Doesn't a feeling of peace and that burden being lifted implied you did something wrong and want to be/feel forgiven? How many women get an abortion and honestly have no feelings, no regret, no guilt, nothing, afterward? Don't those feelings imply a sense of wrongdoing? Just a thought.
Meanwhile I got a lot of tix for the Martin Harris Pageant and I'm kinda wondering why.
Evan's parents wanted to go, so I got us some tix and some extra, and then Evan wanted his kids to come with the extra tix, and then I asked Gma and then I'm wondering about my parents and then I think about Mindys family and ugh... Now I have a lot of tix and I dont even really want to take all of his kids and find a place for everyone to sleep at my parents house with Mindys fam still living there and then I cant figure out the carpooling situation and I'm just so confused. But I suppose if all else fails I can give the tix to family up there and I'm sure they will get passed around and used within the ward.
