    Bee in my bra

    Ok, this isn't a long drawn out saga but for a few moments today caused quite the adventure. I was just near the crest of a winding killer hill, actually begging my body to keep going so I wouldn't have to just get off and walk the darn bike up (headwind, and 16 miles of climbing in 93 degree heat had done me in) when I got this small bee in bra. I felt a thunk, then a sting. It didn't register until I rubbed the stinging part of my boob, rolled the bee around to now the bottom part of my boob for another sting. Just as I lifted my shirt and bra to roll the nasty little beast out of my bra a semi truck passes me on the road. I can only hope he didn't see my 36Bee stung boob!

    But hey! I crested the hill without getting off my bike. My boob stung all the way home. So, yet another thing to pack in my handlebar bag, a little tube of benadryl cream or maybe some camphophenique!

    You have my admiration....I would have freaked out! I only had my very first bee sting this year, can you believe it? Thank goodness I wasn't stung on the boob -- mine was on my upper lip. At least now I know I'm not allergic, but I still don't like the things near me. I nearly panic when one comes around me.

    Smile 36Bee

    Very cute....hope you are not too traumatized from the incident with the trucker seeing your 36Bee.

    Thankfully I have not gotten stung yet, just a few that have hit me (but no sting) various places just not in my shirt. I keep it zipped up to top. Now I am glad I do after reading this.

    Not to be too technical, or anything, but your, um, passenger sounds like it was a small wasp, not a bee. Bees are only good for one sting each, but wasps can sting as often as their little mean hearts desire. (And boy, do some of them desire)

    Still, 36Bee is a great choice of words. Wish I'd thought of it.

    You are probably right. By the time I rolled that little sucker all over my boob trying to mash/rid myself of it, all I could tell was it was small and it stung. The first sting is red and tender and sort of stiff all around it and it itches. The other areas aren't as bad as the first.

    Just curious - by the time the wasp was done stinging you - were your 36Bees 36Cees??


    Sorry - the devil made me ask!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
