Attack of the Chiggers

Yesterday, Chris and I decided to go out and trim the bushes in the yard. I started with the juniper bushes. Since I'm only 5'6, I had problems reaching the back of the bushes, so I had to lean in to get to them. Meanwhile, I kept feeling something bite my legs. I thought it was a fly because I had seen a bunch of flies around a few minutes before. We finished with the yard work and I went in to take a shower. That's when I realized I had been eaten by chiggers. I have about 15 bites on both of my legs. They itch and I look like a freak in shorts. Did I mention that I hate chiggers?

We're going to the baseball game tomorrow. What a great way to spend Labor Day! Hopefully we'll be the Cubbies.

Next week is the end of my 2nd class. 16 more to go! The good thing is in my next class, I won't have to write any papers. Hip Hip Hooray!

Before I go, I just want to say that if you haven't donated to the Red Cross, or any other charity regarding the victims of Hurricane Katrina, I urge you to do so right away. Habitat for Humanity is a good organization to donate to also. It's such a shame that all these people have lost everything they have. I pray for them and hope you will also.
