Woah, woah, woah!

So I just found out that my basement is the happy home to a spider that is larger than my hand with my fingers spread all apart! If anything freaks me more, I don't know what it is.  This creature could be a pet; it was so big, my uncle and my mother wouldn't go near it except to photograph it's enormous size and then run away quickly.  So now I have a big ass LIVE spider chilling down there and I have since closed off all of my vents and tucked all of my covers into my mattress and futon... Google wolf spider.. I don't want a picture of that creepy thing in my blog. Ugh! If only I had a nice neighbor I could call on at moments like these...Anyone want to live in a nice town with little to no attractions but live beside a super cool chick who will have fresh produce this summer? I can tempt with fresh strawberries and garlic!  Hmmmm, also potatoes, raspberries, herbs, and tomatoes!  All you have to do is kill big hairy spiders and lend an occasional cup of sugar from time to time. 
I'm currently sitting Indian style on my futon with all the necessities up here...(laptop, phone, charger, pillow, blanket...) My bedroom is right above that portion of the basement and that is the only vent that doesn't have one of those nifty little shut off valves.  Camping in the library tonight? I think, yes! Excellent idea.

At the salon today I had a really fun conversation with one of the older ladies that works there too.  She caught me up on all of the happenings on "Days of our Lives" from the past ten years.  I got comic enjoyment out of this immensely.  I used to be a huge fan of this show and my best friend and I would tape it during school and then alternate which house we watched it at each day.  I wore out so many VHS tapes by taping over every episode once that thing was full. I was an unusual 12 year old.  This friend and I also played counselor to all of the kids in the class at recess.  Even had them lay down on our make believe couch.  We were odd children but everyone loved coming to us with their problems.

Some leading ladies of Days of Our Lives for your viewing pleasure...

I guess this will be a short post for the evening, can't seem to focus on anything and stay on the 8-legged watch.... Hope you all have a better night than I'll have!

  1. You should've posted a picture! I wanted to see how big that particular one is!

    Anyway, the good news is, while they look creepy as hell, they aren't anything to be worried about. They actually cut down on other bugs. They eat them. And they aren't harmful to humans.

    Still, that doesn't make the thought of it crawling into bed with you any more bearable. I know. I used to live in a basement full of them!
