Oh, Betsy!! You are so funny!! I get these all the time by my kitchen sink. (I call them 'banana spiders' because of their color) They seem to like water and they are harmless. I can't bear to kill them...call me crazy, but sometimes I gently relocate them. lol!!
I like to keep a water glass on my nightstand and sometimes in the dark, I wonder what I am drinking. Maybe it is worth just getting up and going into the kitchen for a drink. Then again, considering what I just wrote about the bnana spiders...Ha!
Okay, that gives me those chills and shudders you get along with them. I am such an arachnophobe! Gives me the creeps to think about you maybe drinking out of it. It's almost as bad as our black widow experience when we were leaving Virginia last year. Eek!
Post one of your long color posts now so that picture bumps down a long way.
Oh serious yuk!!!!!!! Right now those little flying nats are in the house making me a little crazy...Yes, We've probably all swallowed a few crawlie things in our liftimes...EEEeewwwww!!! xoxo~Kathy @ Sweet Up-North Mornings...
You know, I've heard stats about how many spiders we swallow in our sleep during our lifetimes, but I just have a hard time believing them. I guess you can be glad you don't sleep walk:)
It's getting time to add or revise your side bar. I do so love to peruse these and yet, what? no changes! I;m getting tired of seeing the average looking nascar driver bloke1 Ha.
Also, time to add to your encouraging words and prayers list. I love that. I'm sure sometimes you have to read that through a number of times.
hey! Today was the first time i visited ur blog and i completely love it! I think ur three boys are split images of each other! Love the way u write and the spictures u put! Keep the ball rolling...
Aw, that was truly lucky! I hate spiders, yet my house is riddled with them. They are everywhere and they are HUGE. But I am told that they are good as they keep other insects at bay. No well, as long as they keep way long away from me.;) xo
Lora ~ oh, that's just digusting! I would hope that if a spider crawled in my mouth while I was sleeping that I would wake up! ha-ha! Although, I've gotten up in the morning to find a spider bite before...always creeps me out to think one was crawling on my while I slept.
I second Books, Coffee, Etc. - Yikes! (My hubby killed a big spider but unfortunately she had an egg sack. As she curled up and died, baby spiders began running all over the floor. It was like a horror version of Charlotte's Web!)
Betsy! That reminds me of the time I left a waterjug at my bedside (here in India!) and when I woke up there was this huge, dead cockroach floating in it. I covered my jug from that time onward.....
Now do you think I can take a drink of my water during the night???? Don't think so/ha Guess I'll have to turn on the light to do so.... The kids tell me we swallow spiders during the night when our mouths are open....I don't like to think about it!
oh my gosh! Spiders creep me out. I always keep water with me BUT inside a water bottle with closed lid! I also have a nightlight on at night in my room so I can SEE before I drink! oh...I am so thankful you did not take a sip and swallow that spider down!!!!!!!!!!
I linked to your site through Life at Willow Manor and came across your spider story. I couldn't help wishing that the spiders in my house would do the same. Not sure whether you'd be interested, but here's what it takes to get my spiders into a pint glass: http://homeacrossthewater.wordpress.com/2009/04/18/no-room-at-the-inn/

Hi! Betsy,
ReplyDeleteAll I can really say is...Yikes!!!!
Take care! and good thing the light(s) were on!
DeeDee ;-D
Somehow making a picture of a spider inside a glass into a pleasing and surprising photographic composition : no that is talent.
ReplyDeleteAw, that was truly lucky!

ReplyDeleteMy guess is he was looking for a taste of The Mister's chocolate cake and SADLY took a mis-step.
ReplyDeleteI hate spiders!!! I am such a wimp!
Eeeek! But, I'll take a spider any day...
ReplyDeleteAt least it wasn't the roach that I spotted this morning creeping around on my bathroom counter!
Isn't there a song about an old woman who swallowed a spider? YUK!!
ReplyDeleteTerrible mental picture!!! Thank goodness you didn't :)
ReplyDeleteI second Books, Coffee, Etc. - Yikes! (My hubby killed a big spider but unfortunately she had an egg sack. As she curled up and died, baby spiders began running all over the floor. It was like a horror version of Charlotte's Web!)
ReplyDeleteGreat composition, Betsy. Maybe you could blow up the picture and hang it on your wall. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteAw, I want one!

Ewwwwwwe! We could use that spider right now as my Girl has a insect project due at the end if the month and I am sooooo not liking it. Lol
ReplyDeleteWoah! Yuck!

ReplyDeleteWe have oodles of spiders in this old house and they certainly do find their way to the oddest places..
