A. I have this intense hate for spiders and I owe it to my brothers who used to tell me that if you kill them their cousins will come up your bathtub drain and bite you.
B. I figured out a long time ago A is false.
C. I still hate them.
So, without really thinking I did what every red blooded woman would do who doesn't have a man there to do it for her....no I didn't scream, I hate them but I'm not afraid of them....I lifted my foot and squashed her dead. It was pretty gross actually because not only could I feel her squish under my foot I heard it.
And then, I realize she wasn't alone....she was carrying a family of little tiny period size (period as in punctuation thank you lol) baby spiders. She was not just merely dead she was most sincerely truely dead and all these little babies just went EVERYWHERE ....I did what every good samaritan would do...I KILLED THEM TOO!

So here I am with my bluetooth in and talking on the phone to the people who bought my XBox 360 and I'm dancin around stoppin on maniac baby spiders, I'm sure the neighbors are gonna be talking...and I can only imagine what the guy on the phone was thinking because I'm pretty sure the excitement came across in my voice.
So this guy comes over with his wife and 2 little kids and the kids were so sweet, so well mannered and so very excited to be getting an Xbox! It really made me feel good that they were the ones buying it and not some scummy person who wouldn't really appreciate it.
I realized when they left my tummy was growling so i thought I'd run up to Albertsons and get some single serving salads to have for dinner and some for lunches and as I was driving down Stevens there it was....the old Tastee Freeze that's been a handful of different things since then and it's now called "Bombers." Conjured up memories of my own days at tastee freeze (worked there during high school) and when we were growing up my dad knew the owners (and I'll be danged if I can remember their names - 2 old ladies) and we'd go there for ice cream and we're not talking the chintzy little ice creams they call cones these days we're talking 8 inches of piled high soft I-scream (another funny story I'll save) on cones big enough a family of 4 could move in, and we called it "The Lady" because when we wanted I-scream we'd say "hey Dad can we go to the lady?" and he'd know exactly what we wanted and he'd pretend to be going somewhere else and turn in at the last minute..bet you love it when I go off on a tangent huh? ...and suddenly the desire to eat a big fat juicy burger took control and I found myself in the drive through ordering a combo meal...add some extra protein and you could have some onion rings I convinced myself so I asked for bacon! Dude, it was seriously THE BEST burger EVER! I realized as I was sitting here scarfing it down with fry sauce dripping down my chin that it's been awhile since I've really eaten anything of substance and I "allowed" myself the pleasure of every single bite.
And now, I have to sign off and go plug the bathtub drain so to you my sentimental friends, remember a heart is not judged by how by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others and I love you very very much. Thanks for your support! It means the world to me.
