Oh heck no....

I was reading my daily news on the net(because unlike normal people, we do not have cable or get the daily paper) and I came across this.
You will never see me around a place like that!
"At first, it was so white it looked like fairyland," said Donna Garde, superintendent of the park about 45 miles east of Dallas.

Yeah. Right.

Herbert A. "Joe" Pase, a Texas Forest Service entomologist, said the massive web is very unusual.
"From what I'm hearing it could be a once-in-a-lifetime event," he said.

Hummm, still so not for me. Ever.

I have to admit something though, and it kinda gives me the heebie-geebies when I think about it(kinda freaked out right now, and thinking those nasty things are crawling all over me). I used to catch spiders all the time and put them in to jars when I was younger! I would get like twenty in a jar, like it was nothing. And in my grandmas barn, there was this one area that was not used anymore and tons of spiders made their homes there, my brother and I called it "Spider City"(I know sooo original, but come on, we were just kids then)and we would catch them too.


Oh. But now. If I see a spider, I freak out, and I look like I'm having a body spasm. Oh and I freak out when I walk through a spider web......hate, HATE that.

So I either yell for my husband to come and kill it.....all the while he's making fun of me and calling me a wuss. Then he chases me with the squashed spider around the house, laughing and thinking it's just the best amusement ever. Jerk.
Or, I (when he's not home) freak out, and get the kids away from the area if they are around. Then I pace back and forth talking to my self, thinking about calling my little brother to come over and kill it for me.....but that won't do no good, this spider will eat me before he gets here. So I throw a hand towel over it and stomp the heck out of it! Seriously. And I have to have shoes on when I do it, because if it runs out and touches me, Oh. Heck. No.

We have friends that don't kill the spiders that come in to their house, because "it's lost and looking for a place to build it's home" (no, I'm not kidding) so the take it outside in their yard and let it go.

Me. If a spider comes in to my home, it's going to be killed. We don't kill spiders that are outside(would rather have them far, far, far away from my home) but the second they step in our house, it's only a matter of time before it gets squashed. Or sprayed. Or vacuumed up. Or burnt.(my husband likes to do that)

So(in my best pirate voice ever) spider's ye be warned, turn back or it's the plank for you! Arrrrr!
