I was walking down the hall tonight and I thought I saw something big move. I could have sworn I saw something the size of a small mouse move but wrote it off that I was just seeing things. Well I get to the end of the hall and feel like I should turn around and there in the middle of the hall is this huge spider (which I have named spiderzilla) making its way down the hall. Wow MONSTER spider. I go to step on it and its 1 1/2 inch legs (yep I measured) spring it into the air. I swear it knew I can't stand spiders b/c on its 2nd spring it sprang toward me. So I am standing there screaming as all 5 pets come rushing to my aid only to want to play with it or lick it. Yeah there is an idea love it to death (a lot of good they are). I know I have mentioned it before but I HATE spiders so to all of you out there who keep them alive- way to go. I CAN'T they creap me out too much. I once let a garden spider stay on the porch for a summer until it built this giant egg sac in the window. That's the best I have ever done. My husband had to do a bit of relocation! Anyway I can feel my heart beating like crazy and I go to step on it again hoping that it stays in one place long enough for my foot to kill it and it starts scaling the wall. I am freaking out & really worried now b/c I don't think this thing is going to die. If I leave to get spray it might sneak under a door and I might never find it until it has babies... So to make an end to my over dramatic story I stepped once more missed and stepped fast several times finally getting it on one of the last fast steps.
FYI I measured a leg after it died the rest were curled up with the body.

Yuck. I don't like spiders either.
Perhaps you are making progress with your phobia if you are able to actually name the spiders. It is perhaps not the most affectionate name, but a name nonetheless. Progress? I think so.:)

OH YUCK!!!! I would have just stepped on that spider, though. I just had to say thanks for your nice comment on our court date - we have heard nothing today and they tell me I won't - so here's to tomorrow bringing us good news of being parents again.
Chelsea,
Go out and buy some Raid Spray for Household Bugs. When I see a spider, I run for the spray, hoping it doesn't disappear. Then I use about 1/2 a can on it and have a wonderful time watching it die. Yes, I said a wonderful time!
I can't wait to be an aunt for the second time, woohoo!!!
