Good Night, Sleep Tight

and don't let the Bed Bugs bite!

They are not kidding. We had our first and second run ins with bed bugs this past week and they suck. A lot.

First Lauren and Elizabeth were attacked in seperate rooms at a Days Inn in Vero Beach Florida. They had it pretty bad. Luckily Elizabeth's dad is a doctor and he quickly sent a rx for super duper anti itch cream. In additional Lauren called her lawyer boyfriend and he got all over the hotel.

A couple days later we traveled to Rockingham NC and stayed two nights at the sketchy-est America's Value Inn ever. On the first morning I was running late so I just jumped out of the shower and into my clothes. I noticed I felt itchy but didn't pay much attention. Later on Colleen noticed I had bites on my neck. Then I noticed I had bites on my shoulder, a row on my tummy, some down my back and arms or my hands and .... several on my face.

Bed bites itch, but I can deal with that. They get red and nasty but I am on tour and usually look like shit anyway. I've been wearing the same 10 shirts for months now and I only brought 3 pairs of pants so what I look like isn't that important.

The worst part about Bed Bugs is the fact that I feel pretty violated. The idea that little gross bugs crawled all over me while I was helpless and asleep is the most horrible part.

ug. Get me some bug spray!
