We are ruined for life!

Last night I was taking a shower and Rich came in the bathroom and got something out of the bathroom closet. Next thing I know, he throws a box on the floor and is screaming about some "big" spider. You must know that Rich and his whole family (every one of them!) HATE spiders! I don't like them either, but usually I'm not too scared of them. So after I got out of the shower, I go to look at it (it was hiding in the box), thinking it was probably a small one...I looked, screamed, then threw the box back down on the floor. Rich was freaking out, to say the least, and once I saw how huge and scarey it was, I was too! I'm always the one to kill the spiders in our house, so I had to think of a plan. So we got some tongs and I picked up the box and stuck that nastey spider in the bag. Rich was going crazy. Here it is....


We still don't know what kind he is, but we hate the fact that he was in our apartment! It may be hard to tell just how big he is, but believe me when I say huge! After we (or I) got him in the bag and we searched our whole place for more, we sat down to watch a movie. We were still creeped out and had that feeling of spiders crawling on us. I put on a pair of socks and just when I put my foot in, I felt something in my sock! I ripped it off and started screaming (so did Rich) and he was soo mad at me because he thought I was joking. So we get a flashlight and with our hearts pounding, we slowly open the sock and look for a spider. We kept seeing shadows that made it look like something dark was in there, so we kept freaking out more! But we finally rolled the sock to the bottom and it was just the seam of the sock. Did we feel dumb, haha, kind of, but we were squirmy all night about spiders! Now everything we pick up in our apartment we shake first or examine it before getting too close! We may be ruined for life! Or at least until pest control comes again!

Here is the little sicko compared to the size of a crayon and a quarter!
Ugh, I'm getting chills just looking at these pictures!

  3. Oh my goodness! That is the creepiest spider I have ever seen! It really is huge! A spider ran across my chest the other night and I jumped up and screamed. My husband just laughed. Not funny. Then I was just imagining that they probably crawl across me in the night way more than I could imagine. Freaky!! I gotta do some heavy duty dusting and cleaning. Russ just called me today. I can't believe how different he sounds! Crazy! Anyway, hope you are all doing well!
