I. HATE. CHIGGERS.
My foot itches, a lot. I have three chigger bites and they are driving me nuts. Wikipedia and Uncle Randy don't match up exactly on what to do with my chigger bites, but that's okay. I'll do what Uncle Randy said, even though Wiki says that it's too late for that to be the most helpful. Stupid chiggers.
See if I ever go for the cute shoes over the practical shoes ever again (at least while I'm in Nauvoo).
On a side note, the BYU Ballroom Dance Company was amazing, and even though I got chigger bites as I watched them, they were FABULOUS. And attractive. AND it was one of the best Friday nights I've had here! I watched the dancers with my new friend Kim. She's here for the summer as an intern with NRI (I don't know what that means though) and she goes to BYU-I. She's hilarious and so is her sister, Kaycee. We met up with some of Kim's friends from work, Lara, Tammy and Michelle, and a girl from institute named Becca. Afterwards we went to Lara's house to watch Phantom of the Opera, and it was amazing! It was great partially because we all are just here for the summer (well, besides Becca)so everybody else around me was in the same boat as me. Nobody was talking about people that they went to high school with, which was an amazing switch from work where everybody knows all the same people except me. YAY!
It keeps telling me that blogger is having a scheduled outage soon, so I'm going to stop the post there, but look forward to another post from me sometime soon.

NRI stands for Nauvoo Restoration Incorporated. It is the big non-profit company that restores and maintains all the homes down on the flats--at least that's my interpretation as I've come to know many of the employees who work for them.
YAY! I'm happy you made new friends! And hopefully the ballroom dance company has inspired you enough to take dance classes! Love you!
Ooh I hate chiggers too. I got a bite when I visited Nauvoo.
I survived an entire summer there with nothing worse than a few mosquito bites and a spider bite (although that one was truly a doozy--I was sick as a pig for 24 hours). By the beginning of August I was starting to think chiggers were a myth. And, JUST to prove me wrong, the chiggers attacked me from knee to foot TWO DAYS before I left Nauvoo. Which was total crap. Because then I itched for the next three weeks and I wasn't even in a place with evil pernicious bugs!
