Ewwww!

So I was reading the paper when I came across and article about a local family (with 2 little kids) who lost EVERYTHING in a house fire and they did not have insurance...they gave a couple of people's numbers to call if you had things to donate...well the woman is a size 12 and needed clothes, obviously...and I thought "hey!, I was going to just try and get rid of my size 12 clothes at our garage sale, why don't I donate them to her instead!!"

So I call the lady and she says she is in town and can drive by to pick them up right now! So I quickly go downstairs to rummage through our garage sale pile of things to find all the clothes I had packed up...When I look over and see THE LARGEST SPIDER I have EVER seen in my house EVER!!!! I screamed initially b/c I leaned into the web then I saw him on the ground...then I used the closest thing to me to kill the SOB! Closest thing was a set of car ramps in our garage sale pile...those things are NOT light and not easy to maneuver...so I gouged our wall (which we eventually plan on tearing out anyway) in the process and took like 10 stabs to kill this sucker! FINALLY I got him good and alas, he is no more...I hope I NEVER find another one that size EVER AGAIN!!! I still have the heebie jeebies!!

Have a clue? "Mrs. Plummer, in the basement, with the car ramps:"

she's the Orkin-ator! Did the lady get your clothes?

Yes, the lady came by and picked them up after I regained my composure! :-) I was glad too b/c the lady said that the girl wasn't receiving many clothes for herself...mostly for the toddlers...
