A Freakishly True Story


I am 100% arachnaphobic! Just posting this picture is making me itch to high heaven. The other night while I was standing on my porch I felt something on my foot and looked down to see something big and black on my foot. Without thinking I kicked my foot and proceeded to watch a huge black widow spider go running across my porch.



I freaked out!!! I started screaming to Alan who amusingly thought I was being dramatic. After he came out and caught it in a jar he said, "Wow, I didn't know black widows got that big!" Nice-and as he is busy admiring the huge spider I am busy undressing and frantically shaking out my clothes while searching for the bite I am sure will send me to the hospital. Needless to say we will now be spraying our house for spiders, etc. And to my dear family who wonders why I am arachnaphobic...this takes the cake!

Yah, Nice timing. You should have seen the spider my neighbor had on their porch. It was a wasp spider. So ugly.

I know this about you. Remember when you made me watch 'Arachnaphobia', the movie with you! You also made me sit next to you, so that you could GRAB me every time you jumped. YUCK & SO SCARY!
