Ok, I admit it, i hate spiders. Typically I am not the girlie girl type that jumps and screams or whatnot. Usually, Im like, oh its a spider, thats gross, kill it. Tonight however, I had perhaps my most "girlie" night in regards to them. It's just after 1 am and Im letting the dogs out for that last time, right? I open the back door to let the first 3 out, then I turn back to call the other. I turn around to open the door, and there, right in front of me, is this positively gigantic spider web. I mean HUGE. Picture the average sized door, you know a back door, picture the height and width, k got it? Now, this thing was stretched across the entire door frame, and it was almost half way down the door. That is the biggest web I have ever seen, and it was still in the process of being made so it was still in perfect condition and getting bigger. Well, when I suddenly whipped around and saw that, I did the jump and squeal, and felt every hair on my body stand straight up. No lie, that was an awful experience. Of course my mom is already asleep so Im trying to be quiet while thinking, oh my god, what do i do?? I was just glad that it was late and the dogs would come in of their own accord cuz they would want to go back to sleep. Had it been during the morning or something when they like to go out and play and don't always like to come in when called, I would have left them. There would be no way in heck id try to get around that thing. The spider was about the size of a quarter, that was with its legs all cramped together when it was just sitting still. Once it got moving again and its legs stretched out, it was even bigger. I still get goosebumps as I write this. It is positively disgusting. I even put a note on the door for my mom so that when she gets up in the early morning with the dogs, she won't mistakingly walk out there and straight into the web. Im hoping its destroyed by morning...
But wait, theres more! As if that wasn't enough...I then took Pia outside to the front yard so she can go pee. Mom told me she had taken a dump earlier but didn't pick it up so I'd have to watch for it. So, I took her out, found the pile, moved the cage around it and put Pia down. Then I grabbed the scoop and the bag and bent down to pick it up. I put one foot in the grass and felt something on my foot, I thought it was just grass and I look down. It definitly wasn't grass...just take a guess as to what it actually was...I think you'll get it. If you guessed another spider, you are correct! There on my foot was a nice furry looking brown spider. So girlie moment number 2 came, I squeeled, jumped in the air while shaking my foot, and in the process dropped the flashlight. Poor Pia was looking at me like I was crazy. I then took several steps back till I could see it then stomped on it. I came back in, my mom was awake, and I told her Id had 2 run-ins with spiders. She got this look of both terror and disgust on her face and said she was glad she wasn't out there cuz her vision isnt that hot without her contacts. That web would have been awful to suddenly walk in to. So theres my lovely night so far...Im like paranoid now that Im going to find another one or something. *shudder*
