Oh my goodness do I have a story.
Last Thursday I was at work. I was in the press room with Melissa, my co-worker, as she pressed dresses and I bustled them. So I was going down the rack of dresses that needed to go for the next week. One of the dresses was out of its bag. Someone had taken it out and put the train down to look at the hem, because the bride had worn it for bridal pictures and the hem was pretty dirty. She had taken pictures in a field or something. When a dress comes in like that we can't press it on our ironing board and it has to be steamed.
So, I pick up the train off the floor to check the bustle and as I'm getting the layers of tulle together I see something black and big moving in the layers. One look and I knew. I dropped the train and screamed. (I'm such a scaredy-cat.) It was a hobo spider!!!!!!
Hobos are huge! nasty! thick! fast! yuck yuck yuck. I'm cringing right now just thinking about it. Margene killed it outside. She's brave. (and for all of you wondering, yes, we cleaned the dress.) We think either the spider came in with the dress because it was worn in a field for pictures (yuck) or it just crawled in that morning. I hate them so much.
I had to kill one in our very first apartment here in Rexburg. I kid you not, It was about three inches big. Scott is scared of spiders too, but he made me kill it! I was balling as I held Scott's church shoe and prepared to strike. Terrifying. So I whack it and run into the other room because I always think that the spider is going to come after me.
Scott pushes me back out to make sure it's dead. (real nice huh?) It's laying there all shriveled. I nudge it with the shoe and it SPRINGS to life and literally runs under the couch. I was screaming bloody murder it was so scary. #1 it was alive, #2 i had to kill it, again, and #3 i did'nt want to lose it and have it crawling on me at night. it makes me gag just thinking about it.
But i finally killed it amidst by sobs and screams and made Scott clean it up. It was so traumatizing.

Disgusting!!! I would've been bawling too having to kill the thing. Especially a hobo. Logan's pushed me out of the way before because he's seen a spider in the corner....like pushed me away so he can run out of the room first...not to be funny. But oh it was. I just ran and hid ontop of our bed and made him kill it.
And then there was the time we had a nest of baby spiders burst in our bathtub in our first apt....dangling from the ceiling, try to climb up the sides of the bathtub. I was hysterical to say the least..and all alone in our apt with no way to contact Logan. That was fun. I. HATE. SPIDERS.
That post made me cringe!!! SOOO gross. Spiders are just nasty, but apparently babies don't think so. If Teagan ever sees one he's off trying to chase it down.Hopefully he can turn into a heroic spider killer later in life.
Eww... I could barely read that and even though in your picture they are supposed to be "cute" fake spiders... i hate all spiders.
EW, EW, EW. We had a hobo at Draper Oaks too! I'd totally forgotten your story about that one. I absolutely hate them too! I seriously shake when I see them or have to kill them (Ryan laughs at me about it... so he's the one who gets to kill them).
