Victory!

I might have mentioned on this little blog that I’m afraid of spiders…I probably have…since I’m pretty terrified of them and everyone I know who has ears has heard me say so once or twice.

I had a victory today. Vacuuming. With my beloved Dyson.

There was an ugly, black one that came out of nowhere (they all do. Where on earth are they?). I screamed. Looked around for my protective furry doggies (who only opened one eye before going back to sleep) and I sucked it into the vacuum!

Now the vacuum doesn’t kill it. It has a compartment that you empty when it’s full and it was in there, running around with all its legs. So I was able to take the entire thing outside and release my unwanted house guest.

Introducing the world’s cutest spider

A friend of mine showed me this during lunch at work. She knew I was pretty terrified of spiders and swore this would cure my fear. I didn’t believe her…but since watching the videos, I have to admit, I have a different perspective on those multi-legged guys.

Lucas is absolutely adorable.

If you’re curious as to how he happened to be, here’s the explanation.
