Though the reward for going through that door was a dank, unfinished basement with a crack in the main access door (that we had to go outside to get to) that let in all kinds of creepy things. I was happy to get a washer and dryer, but the hookups were down there and I had to venture down there several times a week. We had a hybrid spider alongside the plain ol' creepy regular spiders that looked like a cross between a Daddy Long Legs and a grasshopper. Imagine a Daddy Long Legs with a body the size of a quarter. We called them Hippity Hops, because yes, they jumped, too. I'll have nightmares tonight, now that I've remembered those.<BR/><BR/>You only have a few more weeks until you can move on from that job and that boss and NEVER LOOK BACK!

More than anything, I think, except for perhaps being buried alive, but since I've never been remotely in danger of being buried alive (unless you count by dog hair), spiders are my number 1 real life fear.<BR/><BR/>Ooh, and cicadas. Yeah, I know they're not mean or poisonous but they're BIG and very NOISY and when a cat brings one in (from the hunt, you know) and sets it down and it goes to making that awful nose and flying about the room, well, that's when I climb on the couch (this will keep the flying creature off of me, how??) and making some noise of my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15513876.post-1146692740894310192006-05-03T16:45:00.000-05:002006-05-03T16:45:00.000-05:00She braids rugs, too.
