Creepy

Last night I dreamt of a big, ugly spider.

The hairy, beady-eyed monster was crawling all over me. Despite my attempts to shake him or squash him, he held on.

Finally, I gave my arm a good fling. I then inspected my arm.

No spider. Not on my arm, not on the ground, not anywhere else.

Where the hell did he go?!

Disappearance won't do. I want to know where the eight-legged beast has gone. I want to collect a dead body, so that I may give it a swirling burial within a porcelain tomb.

Alas, no such luck. The dream ended. I overslept.

After my munchkins were fed and dressed, I retreated to my room and tugged my hair out of its ponytail.

That's when I found it.

Behind my right ear, I have the biggest, ugliest spider bite that I've ever had. It's red, raised and tender, and about the size of a quarter.

The bite isn't what bothers me...It's the thought of that ugly little beast having been perched upon my head as I slept.

I may take the sofa tonight.

You can ALWAYS come sleep with me. If you don't mind ants, crickets, mosquitoes, deer flies, house flies and ME, that is.

Key, are you sure you weren't dreaming of a night with Rob? *heh*

...thanks anyway for the offer, darlin. The Acid-bath is as much acidic stimulation as I think I can handle for the moment. ; )

Ouch. :(

Once last year I rolled over in the middle of the night onto a WASP that had somehow crawled into bed. That kept me up for hours.

The wife and I drove to Florida two weeks ago. We stopped in SC somewhere at a rest stop and let the pups out to run and poop a little in one of those grassy areas. While she was standing there she felt a bite and looked down to see her feet covered in red ants.

2 weeks later and her big toe is still swollen where the critter bit her. Any of you deep southerners know the remedy for this? Is she going to die?

Jesse,
If you're trying to off her, I think you might as well go to plan B. ; )

If the allergy was strong enough to kill her, she wouldn't have lasted through the night.

But those are nasty little boogers, and I'm sure several got her. Give it another week.

Heh, Key I was hoping that when she was gone, you and me....
