You know in the morning when you go through the motions of getting ready and all is calm and you've spent two hours relaxing and waking-up at your leisure (which I totally said "lezzzzzzure")...and you get in your car and head to work...again a peaceful commute. The beautiful hymns wafting through the air. You pull into your parking space at your place of employment. Again -- still calm and collected. You meander in to the building and swipe your card. 4 minutes to spare...(sigh). Relaxing. Peaceful. Tranquil.
A quick stop in the bathroom to check your hair and THERE IT IS...precariously balanced on the side of the bathroom sink...what? you ask. A BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER...or what appears to be a BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER!!! His spindle legs are flecked with gold and brown and had my heart not been racing and pumping blood at a rate in which I am sure was 300 beats per minute -- had that not been happening, I might have been able to fully appreciate this wonderful creature which was created by my Heavenly Father. But nooooooo......rapid heart rate and all, I told myself outloud, "It's just a spider, Angie. Remove your shoe!" A quick apology to my arachnid friend, and I use the term "friend" loosely, and I sent him to the Big Cobweb in The Sky. Ick! Ick! Ick!
Spiders, flying grasshoppers, and moths...three insect-ish creatures that will always meet their untimely death if they happen to weaving their way, fly, and/or flutter in to my presence. I have been known to flush many-a-spiders... Step on and squish grasshoppers (also, I've gone running from them too!!!)... And moths...ewwwwwww!!! They usually will be greeted with a Kleenex and / or a random shoe...squish! Those big moths...they are my nemesis!!!!
Needless to say - this morning did not afford me a meet-n-greet with any 'hoppers and moths...my heart has already received its work-out for the day. Who needs cardio when spider will send your heart racing into over-drive? :)
