Fire Ants-1, Suzy-0
Yes folks...I've been formally intorduced to those little buggers(altho I would like to use a much fouler name for these things, I'll refrain...little eyes might be reading??? bah...who am I kidding, only my dad reads the blog..even at that, it's only when I tell him to!!!) called "fire ants"..Yep, fire ants...Now, most of you know that I'm from Vegas...
Being a Vegas girl, I only THOUGHT I had fire ants...My fire ants were big and red and only when you seriously pissed them off, would they come after you...
Well, today after getting some much desired chow mein, I was getting the food out of the car and apparently had stepped RIGHT into a fire ant bed...Apparently,they didn't appreciate that?? (Who knew stepping onto a fire ant was a bad idea??)
So imagine this scene: Mike is leaving a voicemail, I have my hands full with Chinese takeout and my right foot is on FIRE (hey, maybe THAT'S why they're called fire ants???) and I start hopping on one foot, crying (yes, I admit, I cried...I'm a girl, I'm allowed!!) STILL holding onto the food. Mike FINALLY realizes why I'm crying and hopping around like a crazy woman and he gets them off.
Ever the photographer, I had to document this first in Texas...my first fire ant bites...
I have a sexy foot...I know...and I need a pedicure...I know that too...
I am currently drowning my foot in Benadryl spray and gel and it looks better...but it's not 100%.
So there you have it folks...my first ant bites...speaking of firsts...I've got first hurricane pics as well..but will save that for another post...
Leave some sympathy for me in the form of blog comments, it'll be mucho appreciated...(since I'm a baby and had to blog about my awesome fireant bites...)

Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!
Welcome to Texas!
The trick, though, is plain ol' Crest toothpaste...not with Scope, not with baking soda (though that might help, too, actually), but plain old Crest...
It's ok if you don't believe me...
You can make nasty comments while you smear it on and threaten to beat me to death if it's a joke...
My Personal Midget didn't believe me, either...
But then, after a few minutes...
"Dis awl bedder, Da-dee! No more ouch! I no go see Docca Channa for shot, right???!!!"
She is not fond of "Docca Channa"...
But, she doesn't argue with me when I try to smear Crest on her legs, anymore...
Bandaids...that's another story...
Hope you're better, ya big sissy!
Oh honey... I'm so sorry. They hurt like a bugger. I dropped my camera during a session after stepping in a fire ant hill. Not good. I'm going to have to try the Crest toothpaste!
Oh wow, that looks really painful! I've never even seen a fireant, I'm thinking we don't have them in Canada?
