French Teapots and Spiders

As usual, during coffee I was having my morning (her evening) conversation with Sacha...

She was showing me what she was listing today. Love these French prints! Why does she have all the good stuff! Yes, I'm whining here!

Look at this cute, cute enamel teapot!!

Anyway...

I was gracefully (slouching) reclining at my desk when this HUMONGOUS

wood spider came crawling across the top of my desk towards me.

I'll tangle with almost anything, I have bears and coyotes in my yard every night...

but spiders, and especially one as big as one of my cats???

(Brenda: known to exaggerate a teeny bit)

Oh man, I'm outta there!

And just in case you thought Sacha was the sweet one...

You can see how sympathetic she was!

        • • Try catching it with a glass / jar and piece of paper and release it outside. Or if you don't mind killing spiders: vacuum cleaner.

          • I'm not afraid of spiders. I always catch and release them. Except for the ones that come with 1,000s. Those I vacuum.

      • Ohw. Okay. I will. Keep your webcam on when you go to sleep. Maybe it just crawls inside your mouth and you won't ever know that it's living in your stomach if you don't film it. LMAO!!!

          • He cannot harm you. Catch it, release it. Or kill it (bad spider karma, though).
