I won't be able to sleep tonight...


Well, today when I was cleaning, I found a little surprise. As you have probably guessed from the picture, it was a spider. Not just any spider, we are pretty sure it WAS a Hobo Spider. This picture is pretty close to the actual size it was too. NOT COOL! Hobo spiders are harmful, they wont kill you but they will leave a skin lesion that could last for months, and you are supposed to seek medical treatment immediately. SCARY!! I am really terrified of spiders!!!!! Especially big ones, and I hate squishing them too. So I managed to get a grip on my terror and catch it in a glass jar and then waited to kill it until Hubs got home. We dumped finger nail polish remover in the jar and we managed to poison it and drown it at the same time. So anyway I don't think I will sleep very well tonight, I will probably freak out at the smallest itch. I don't know if I am going to be able to handle spiders in my house all winter, especially big Hobo spiders.
***So that you all wont have to look at this spider every time you look at my blog, I will delete the picture after a day or so when everyone has had the chance to see it at least once.
