Brian went to St. George for the weekend. And I am realizing how un-independent (i.e. dependent) I've become! Tonight as I looked deep into one of our cupboards, I saw this:
(If you can't tell, it's a large spider- about 1 inch big!) My heart stopped beating. I think my breathing even paused. I thought, "I need Brian!" Suddenly, I realized that I've been killing spiders for years. I reproached myself for being such a pansy and went to grab some toilet paper because I was going to smash that thing and, so doing, regain my independence!I slowly crept my hand closer and closer, anticipating an attack at any moment. I pounced on it and smashed. As I pulled my catch out of the dark cupboard, I soon realized what my spider really was. . .
Yes, a toy spider ring. I am so lucky it didn't attack!! So, with my newfound independence, I would like to offer to come kill any plastic pests that might be haunting you.P.S. I swear the top picture doesn't do it justice- it looked much more realistic in real life!

Haha, that's hilarious! I am deathly afraid of spiders myself! When I first saw that top picture my heart started racing!
I thought it was real--seriously. I felt sick, and thought, "She should've called Dave, he's a pro at killing spiders!"
When Isaac brings home fake spiders from Halloween parties/school/church/whatever, I throw them away. I can't handle them. Even if they're different colors, they still creep me out.
That's so funny and freaky at the same time! I thought that was real! I hate spiders too. Did Brian put that in there as a joke?
You're so sweet! I wish you were ones of the boys teacher too. They have great ones but I hear you're the best! :) That's funny about the animal molds. I'm so not creative that way either. Happy soon-to-be birthday!...
that is hilarious - and fantastic.
i think it still counts - way to be self-reliant and oh so tough daners :)
The thought of "what if it lays eggs" makes me a MUCH braver person.
haha! I had to do the same thing the other day!! Only mine was much smaller and, real. :) Thanks for sharing
That is so funny!!!! I love that it wasn't even a real spider! I know exactly what you mean about losing your independence after getting married...I too have found that I rarely do anything myself anymore.
That is so funny! And I have to admit, though brightly colored and not realistic looking at all, those fake insects get my heart racing too sometimes! :) Must run in the family!
You can come kill mine anytime I have no independace when it comes to spiders!
Dana-
I need to talk with Brian about IFLY helping with prizes for R&O Construction. I have an internship here. They are the company that built the IFLY building. Anyway, I don't know how I can contact him. Let me know. Thanks
Your blog is so fun! I loved reading a bunch of your funny posts including this one. ha ha I hope you don't mind but my Brian read it too and cracked up. This was right after I had done something extremely blonde myself. :)
