| | so i get home yesterday to a hot house. the a/c is broken yet again! joy, like a frog in boiling water, has not really noticed how warm it was in the house but upon my mention of it, she decides to take a look. (neither of us know ANYTHING about fixing the a/c but we pretend by turning things on and off, opening and closing, and any other opposites you can connect to such things.) next thing i know, joy is screaming and running into my room. another albino gecko, i suppose. but no, it was much much worse. a spider. in the foyer. and it's big.
i go out to see for myself and there's this HUGE hairy killer sitting above my front door! my body involuntarily shudders and moans. it's back. yes, that's right...back. i've seen this sucker before. several months ago, i found it on my back porch, in a corner near the steps. i watched it for a little while but it wasn't moving. i called a guy cause they should know everything about spiders. he said it was probably a wolf spider. being the naive girl, i said "oh" and felt a little better. since yesterday's episode and my new knowledge, however, i know that that's not really reassuring. not wanting to suffer more than i already had by discovering my friend, i went inside and it went away.
it ends up that "away" eventually meant into my house where it was currently lurking. what to do, what to do?? every guy we knew who would be willing or able to help was working! after putting some feelers out, we got a bite. someone was on their way to rescue us. in the meantime, we were getting out of the house. neither one of us really wanted to leave the invader because it could possibly move and we wouldn't know where it was. however, having invited friends over for a homecooked meal, i kinda had to get to the food store to make that happen. joy was not going to stay home alone so we left maggie on watch.
shelob was still there when we got home and, at this point, another knight in shorts and a tee is on the way. our rescuer arrives with bug killer stuff in hand. he walks in and says "whoa, that's big. that's a tarantula! i thought it was going to be a daddy long legs or something!" i mentally note that he thinks we're retarded girls but verbally begin to cheer him on as he takes the killer down. after a short battle, the assassin was captured and taken away. joy and i thought it should have been destroyed but we weren't about to take any action so the little punk lives on.
AND...my house is still hot! =(
