Todd and I came home from a hot date to the movies last night (The Bourne Ultimatum - very cool). We came into the kitchen and flipped on the light, and VOILA! A new friend was on the floor, just waiting to play with us!I jumped up on the counter, screaming, as Todd stepped into action (more like, stepped ON the action). Cockroach guts went spewing all over the kitchen floor! Todd was ready and willing to wipe them all up, but I insisted that we document this guy on the camera before the clean-up crew swept through.
My hope is that we won't see too many more of these guys, but Todd is trying to convince me that cockroaches will just be "a way of life while we're out here, and we've got to get used to it." He's so tough! He's also excited to make his way to the store to buy bug killing spray, so he can reinforce our doorways and such. Don't worry guys, he's on it.

That "little" guy is as big as your toe!!! NASTY
Thanks for sharing. I would have been on the counter screaming too.
Bourne Ultimatum is sooo good! Cool that Todd got to practice his Jason Bourne butt kicking skills out on the cockroach.
Welcome to the south sweetie! (On every level you've written about so far.) I just have to defend my home state in that Texas has the cockroaches, but not nearly as many confederates! However, Richmond echoes the cries of Alabama, but in an old money sort of way. I was astonished at the pride they take in their Southern, slavetrading roots. Its a bit creepy, if I do say so myself...
Yeah guess what, cockroaches are nasty little dwellers of our inhabitence as well! It come in seasons though, now is the season of the crickets. There are hundreds hopping around outside as you walk down the sidewalk. Too bad the mormon seagulls aren't here...
