Holy shit if I hadn’t seen it move (skuttle) I wouldn’t have believed this spider was real, people. I didn’t even have time to get my camera, but I did have the presence of mind to go fetch TeenHer so that she’d get a good eyeful right before bed. I shouldn’t be the only one in the house with spider nightmares tonight.
Seriously, oh my god this thing was as big as, if not bigger, than my hand. Fingers extended, people. I think it’s called something innocuous like “brown house spider” but what it should be called is “Nightmare inducing, impossibly quick-moving, LSD Style creeper”. I’m here because even though I took a sleeping pill earlier, I am not asleep (wtf, Ambien? A little Albutrol in the mix and you’re totally useless to me?) and now? Now I’m scared to lay in the dark bedroom.
I’ve left LittleA in there in case The Thing needs a snack. Every man for himself. I win MOTFY for sure.

scoop it up? Are you fucking crazy?! First of all, it was on the crown molding the bathroom. Right over my head. Secondly, the fucking thing wouldn’t have fit under a cup! Not even my hugest coffee cup! I would have had to have I don’t know, a stock pot or something.

ewwwwwwwwww!
Remember though, spiders are a GOOD thing! They eat the really bad bugs. I can say that from here.
Let me get this straight. You had time to go get TennHer to take a gander but you didn’t have time to scoop the damn thing up? Me? I just scream, “Jake!!!!” And he comes running and does all the gross handling for me. Who would have ever thought?

Oh, shit. Totally know the feeling. It is Florida, man. I had some creepy ass crawlers at my place in Atlantic Beach.
