I just killed a huge spider. I'm sure it must have been a wolf spider because that's what all of the really big ones around here are, right? It was brown. It was huge. Shudder.
I smashed it against the wall with my flip flop. "How did she do this?" anyone who knows me well would ask (nothing short of a true, full blown phobia going on here). Lots of support from lots of people. Spider therapy from my husband. And to top it off, a very good insight from Grandma. I found a spider in her sink a few weeks ago and didn't know what to do. She walked in, got some toilet paper and squished it. I asked how she could do that with such a big spider and she opened the toilet paper and said, "But look how small it is."
She was right spiders are small after you smash their legs and guts and kill the life out of them. So that's how I did it. I thought about how small that disgustingly huge hairy brown thing would be after he was crushed. And, I assure you, he was indeed small.

Hahahaha!!! Yay, Amy! Way to overcome your fear. :) Oh...and sorry you're offended about the cake...:S
ReplyDeletehaha! Way to go Amy! I totally feel you. Way to conquer your fears - you're my hero! :)
ReplyDeleteThe thing that gets my courage up to kill bugs is to spray them with bug spray first so they can't move (a.k.a. fall on me, run at me, run away from me, dissapear, etc.) Then I can squish them.
yes i would NEVER EVER google anything having to do with a spider. silly amy. way to go on killing the spider. i love the story about grandma.
ReplyDeletei had to get back on here and tell you that i just stomped on a VERY large spider in my kitchen. it was under lincoln's swing where he was sleeping. it was only the thought of it crawling on him that made me capable of doing such a thing. i still have chills.
ReplyDeletespiders are nasty. hate them! We had an exterminator come today because Chase found a HUGE black widow in the basement. Exterminator man found a black widow sack outside, lots of webs, and a HUGE Wolf spider.... NASSTTTYYYY!!!! and very creepy!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is a Hastings things. I am definitely the spider killer at our house, and I do it Grandma style.
ReplyDeleteOh hoffa, NEVER google pics of spiders! I did the same thing, almost worse than seeing one in person! I am SOOOO proud of you! We can give birth to babies, change poopy diapers, clean up throw up, but somehow a spider the size of a penny can freak the crap out of us! oh the irony of life! :) love and miss you!
