It's definitely getting colder...

Was busy working at my computer when I heard a thunk just to the side. A real live *thunk*. Looked over at the lamp and there on the base was a *huge* spider! Just dropped down from the ceiling. And yes, it was indeed big enough to thunk - loud enough to be heard over the television.

Needless to say, I freaked. I HATE SPIDERS! So then I jumped up and grabbed a paper towel and smooshed it before it could scuttle away (and later crawl up my leg or something). Now I see I left one leg on the lamp...

Definitely gotta dust all the ceilings and maybe bug bomb the house before I finish putting plastic on the windows. Maybe. But ugh! The one thing I hate about winter coming other than knowing I'm going to freeze my ass off every day - all the creepy crawly things start moving indoors...

We have a lot of those big ones in the house - with most of the house unused, they have a hey day, believe me :-( The big ones we call "wolf spiders" - and once you see one, you understand why. Ewww.
