There are a few things I have always hated about Texas.... bugs, 90 degree weather during the holidays, and bugs! This week I got both. The other day I went in the garage to take the trash out and there was this huge spider. I happen to be on the phone with Sam who said "step on it, or grab it!" RIGHT! Like that was gonna happen. That evening while I was gone he said he killed on that was this big, showing me with his hand, and I figured it was the same one. Well, this morning I was making the kids' lunches for school, turn around and there he was in my kitchen!! Did I mention I hate Texas for the bugs!! This picture does me NO justice! This things was as big as the palm of my hand. I considered taking a picture before it was dead so I could show Sam and figure out what kind it was (he is out of town, of course!) But it was creepy enough taking the picture of it dead... no way was I going to stand around trying to get a good angle when it could have jumped on me at any moment! So here he is.... after a whole can of Hot Shot was sprayed at him. I am definitely more of a stand back and point killer. But he was twice this size stretched out. Oh my goodness, I will not be able to crawl into bed or walk around in the dark for days!

EWW!!! I'm with ya, Nat! I don't like bugs either, but we don't get that kind here!
Holy crap that is gross!!!!! I think I would be terrified the rest of my life.
Oh, that's one thing I insisted on when living in Texas, and that was a regular exterminator! Yikes!
