So Rich and I had quite the eventful Saturday night...
We got home from our Saturday night picnic and we decided to make some tea and watch a movie on Netflix.
I lit a bunch of candles and we started the movie.
We are about 20 minutes in to The Pianist (great movie, by the way) and out of the corner of my eye, I see something move on the carpet...
I looked down to the carpet and saw nothing, so I continued to watch the movie, and then I see something move again...
So I tell Rich that there is a bug on the carpet, and it looks huge...
So we turned the lights on and there was a COCKROACH in my living room! About the size of a quarter, so he was pretty decent size...
I about peed my pants....
After we assessed the situation, Rich grabbed a container to try to scoop him up. Rich, of course, missed which sent the cockroach zooming under our TV stand.
(Those things are FAST)
This sent me to jump on to the couch and scream...
Rich grabbed the vacuum up and vacuumed him up, he got him and when we went to empty the vacuum we saw his little legs moving...he DIDNT DIE!
WHAT?!
So, of course, after this whole mess we cleaned the house, at 11pm...hahaha with still the majority of the movie left...
And now I can't stop singing La Cucaracha!
I hope you all had a super weekend, and that your weekend was free of yucky bugs!
*Disclaimer*: We are not dirty, we keep our house very clean, and we don't keep any food out...however, we cannot say the same thing for others in our apartment complex. We think that he found his way into our apartment from someone elses apartment! :-)

Yuck!! I had to laugh, though. We have Palmetto Bugs (Google them if you've never heard of them before), and it doesn't matter how clean you are, they're going to find their way wherever they want to go! Our house is old (read: leaky), and I have dark wood beam ceilings - the worst is watching TV and one flies (YES THEY FLY!) off the ceiling. You can almost NEVER find them and then you can't help but cover the house in Raid. Ugh, it's awful! We have pest control that comes regularly, too. Bugs are so gross!
Oh man, I hear ya on the cockroaches! When I lived in FL I lived by myself. I worked 50-60 hours a week and was basically NEVER home, but I made sure to vacuum/clean at least once a week. Unfortunately I lived on the bottom floor of an apartment building and Florida is, well, KNOWN for its bugs. Despite the complex spraying on a regular basis and despite my apartment basically not even looking like it was lived in, I always had cockroaches in my place. I hated it :-/
Ekkk! I would have FREAKED! Bugs like that and in my house freak me out and I can't deal with it.
