Dear China Adoption Bloggers,

You are cordially invited to take away my ladybugs.

You see, every ladybug within a 20-mile radius has decided to congregate on my dining room window. There are the reliable, responsible ladybugs that are there every morning carrying their tiny cafe au laits and briefcases. Then, there's ladybug rush hour in the afternoon when they're all scattering about getting their errands done. There's even a few rebels who have little ladybug raves into the wee hours of the morning.

I'm adopting from Russia therefore I have no belief in ladybugs being harbingers of good luck. Outside they serve a purpose and are pretty little eaters of aphids, but in my dining room they're just plain gross. So, please. Please come take them. I'll even gift wrap.

Kind regards,

Margaret

p.s. This invitation is only semi-open. All China adoption bloggers are welcome as they've been screened by USCIS and are not ax murderers. But to those of you that arrive at my site through really really strange searches, stay away. And Mr. Searching for "can I put my hands in your pants" -- the answer is no, no you cannot.
