I woke up at 2 am last night contorted and tangled in blankets, having been trying to scratch mosquito bites while I slept.  I stumbled out to the hall closet, using my cell phone as a flashlight, to dig out a tube of Rhuli-Gel, hoping to take enough of the sting out of the bites to go back to sleep.  It worked moderately and I fell back asleep (although I’m itching today).  I’m an expert at handling mosquito bites, as I’ve always been allergic and they’ve always found me delicious.

Favorite Song: Fighting by Mare Wakefield.  I discovered Mare through my sister when I was in college.  I made taped copies of her CD’s and would play them as I drove back and forth to Walla Walla.  I eventually broke down and ordered her music via CDBaby.com and have never regretted it.  I don’t know what she’s doing now, but I always enjoy hearing her music.

Favorite Album: I do love Ben Harper’s Live from Mars album.

Seen Live: Ani DiFranco, Ben Harper, Ben Folds and Indigo Girls
