The big hairy spider went for a ride

I walk out to my car today after class, get in, throw my stuff in the seat next to me and pick up the phone to call Rick so he knows I am on my way home. That is when it happens. I see a slight movement out of the corner of my eye, and there it sits, a large hairy spider, just staring at me.

Me, being the arachnophobe, starts freaking out, looking for anything I can use to smash it. This thing is huge!! I am screaming into the phone for help and sensing that I am going to be attacked at any second. I reach down for a book that is close at hand and the spider goes into a vent in my dash. I don't know how it fit, but it slid right in there and disappeared. I began slamming the book into the line he went into and that is when the book was ripped out of my hands and thrown to the back of the car.

The spider slowly came out from the vent, got into my purse and came out with paper and a pen. I think this spider must have escaped from a lab or something because it then proceeded to write me an note telling me that if I didn't drive, it would bite my head off. I sensed that from my experience in the creepy cellar opening of our basement, (click here to learn that story) he truly did not want to have to kill me.

I pulled out of the parking lot and started driving home. Keeping one eye on the road and one eye on the spider I began to wonder if he was just saving me for later and once I got him to where he wanted to go I would become a cocooned body. Host or food was the only question.(I had already been a host to a million tiny spiders, so what's new?)

Eventually he slid back into the vent and every once in awhile would poke his head out and stare at me as if to tell me to try something. I was rigid with fear as I drove home, thinking of the massive car wreck I would get into if he decided to come out and eat my face off.

As you can tell by this post, I made it home safely. The spider, who knows where it is at. Maybe the heat from my vent killed it and it is rotting in my car, or it crawled out and into the woods to create more giant spiders. I don't even want to think it is in my house, it could have possibly made it to all the little spiders in our cellar entrance. I can't count on Chelsie, she isn't a spider killer...I don't know why. And Rick thinks I am exaggerating the size of this spider, so he is no help.

Just so you could see for yourself, I scoured the internet today looking for a picture of this behemoth. And I found one. Take a gander and go ahead and tell me you wouldn't freak out if this was in your car either.

  2. That might be a possibility. There is no possible way though that it was just a little black spider.

the color yellow

I LOVE the color yellow. It is sunshine, happiness, bright, and fun. For the past couple of weeks I have been updating my kitchen. Painting the cabinets and walls and re-doing the counter tops. The color scheme I picked is yellow, black and cream. Today was the day I finally got to paint the walls with the "applesauce" color I picked. YEE..OWZA. I have never put a color on my walls that made me doubt my sense of design and decision making in my home. This color is doing that to me. I love yellow, but is it right for my walls? I am unsure. I need to place the second coat on and live with it. Beginning to think I should have picked a very light warm grey color instead. Yellow is definitely Yellow...

The perpetual life of the unfinished project

My husband and I have not learned the most important message of "finish one project before you begin another." I have mentioned before that our house was not built the best, or even to code. So when we take on a project, we actually end up doubling the normal time it would take because we are fixing everything that we noticed wrong that needs redone. I don't know why we can't finish a project, I do know that Rick and I are easily distracted, or torn from something we are working on quit frequently...they come in three's. Let me take you on a little tour: This is our pantry door. The door was replaced, but the trim hasn't made it back up around the door. It has been like this for about 3 years. (notice the holes in the wall? the huge one was from Krischan hanging on the coat hook that was there and ripping it out of the wall. The other holes are from me removing the other coat hooks in wanting to move them to another wall, which has not been done as of yet....
