Personal Space Invader

Me & Rob were sitting here, minding our own business, Rob in his couch corner & me in my office chair when Rob stutters something about a spider... a big spider.. a fast spider crawling up his blanket. I could see the hair on his head was literally standing on end. He looked like Bart Simpson. I didn't know people's hair could actually do that. He flipped his blanket over & clambered off the couch. We both just stood there looking at the blanket like the Alien was in it. So we garnered up the nerve to attempt moving the blanket & we're both standing there with paper towels in our hands & I was expecting a tarantula or something. We finally decided to take the blanket out the front door. Rob opened up the blanket outside & this big orangey red house spider went scrambling down a crack in the sidewalk. It's probably the one that's been hiding out behind Nessie's tank stand.

That's the second spider we've saved in two days.

Spider Saving

It's a relatively new development in our world. Usually we squish them - of course, being surrounded by black widows & brown recluses can make you leery of picking spidery things up or attempting to gently remove them from the domicile.

What was even funnier last night, Rob went to shake out my bedding before we went to bed & there was a teeny-tiny-itsy-bitsy-fuzzy-wuzzy spider IN MY BED. Gaaaaahhhhh!!!! It's the first spider that I've ever coaxed into my hand but I only got halfway down the hall & it bungee-jumped off me & disappeared into the carpet :P
