Gross things with Dani!
Last Thursday I walked into the kitchen intending to fix lunch for Hal (he comes home for lunch most days). I happened to look down at one of my sticky traps (I have them all over) and saw this black thing sticking out of it. I'm like...what is that?!
So, I cleverly looked closely and saw this big spider sticking out of it. I'm totally freaking out at the size of this thing, and then IT MOVED it's legs!
I immediately decided two things:
1) It has to DIE!!! and
2) I can't cook now! Not with that thing in my kitchen!
I (very bravely) reached under by kitchen sink for my Ant/Roach/Spider spray, and gave him a good dousing. And he continued to move for what seemed like forever!!! EEWWWWW!!!! Anyways, I couldn't even stand being in my house anymore! When Hal came home, I was sitting on our tree stump outside. (Which is kind of ironic.... I was chased out of my house by a spider stuck in a sticky trap, and went and sat on a stump that has TONS of bugs under it...) He thought I'd locked myself out again. I told him nope, I just couldn't be in there anymore.... He went in and made sure the foul thing was dead, and told me I was very brave to spray it. :-) Isn't he sweet?
By nighttime, I was finally able to go into the kitchen again (I was way creeped out all day!) and of course I had to take a picture. Have you ever noticed that spiders seem to be bigger alive than dead? I think it's because their legs are all fluffed out when they're alive...
EEWWWW!!!
I just keep thinking... what are the chances I only have one of those huge things? And where did he come from?! And WHAT IS HE DOING IN MY HOUSE?!?!
Isn't he huge? He kind of reminds me of a tarantula, only smaller...(It's not a very good picture. I was having a really hard time holding still!)
Yes, that is an animal by him. We think it's a leopard gecko... This is like the 10th one (maybe? I've lost track.) that we've caught on our sticky traps. We have NO IDEA where they're coming from, but they can't be bad if they eat bugs, right? (Still, EEWWW!!!) I've seen them in my backyard, too. And on the side of my house. (They tuck themselves up under my siding.) Any ideas how they get in?
Thanks for viewing my lovely creepies! Hope you're not too completely grossed out!

OH My Gadfrey Dani! I don't think we'll be able to stay at your house with these friends visiting you guys constantly!!! Are they found in Motel rooms too?! I WOULD FREAK OUT! I'm freaking out now, and I'm a thousand miles away!! How do you live with these guys! Ew! I hope you were still able to eat lunch!
As I was reading your post I knew exactly how you felt....but then you posted the picture and I was trying to pay attention to the spider story but the whole time I couldn't figure out why you weren't saying anything about the lizard thing right beside the spider?!?! ROFL I am so SHOCKED there are lizards in your house!?!? Who'd a thunk?
Number one reason not to move to Texas...
