He just laughed at me and rolled over. I am so serious! This must not ever, ever, ever happen again! Ever. <BR/><BR/>Alli: You so have witnessed my reaction to cockroaches more than once. If I remember correctly, one time I was on the phone with you and I screamed. In your ear. You were very calm about it. I don't scream much, but apparently, roaches make me scream like a wee leetol baybee! <BR/><BR/>Freak: I forgot about "dipped in chocolate". Yes, now THAT makes me shiver! Why would anyone put something as sacred as chocolate on a "horrible, disgusting creature"!?!? Talk about ruining chocolate. . . . blehck! <BR/><BR/>I still freak out a little when I have to go to bed at night - it's the first thing I think of crawling into bed each night and out of bed each morning. <BR/><BR/>Talk about traumatizing. . . . . .Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584503437503775081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135091772004222693.post-35239211360960944512008-12-20T10:11:00.000-06:002008-12-20T10:11:00.000-06:00OH.

It digusts me to think that out in the world, right now, someone has dipped some in chocolate and considers it a yummy treat. Now THAT makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
