I hate bugs.
I mean, really, really hate bugs. Insects. Creepy-crawlies. Ewww.
There's a slight possibility that I have been known to trap insects under plastic cups until hubby could come home to, um, dispose of them. There's an even slighter possibility that if I know hubby will be in late I will draw a picture of my little prisoner on the cup so as he won't mistake the cup for random trash and set it free while I snooze.
Seriously. Hate. Bugs.
Today I was attempting to make a dent in our pile of unwashed dishes multiplying in the sink. And I saw it. Teeny-tiny body. Freakishly long appendages. Mr. Daddy Long Legs had taken up residence on one side of the sink next to a steak knife. See, most normal people would grab a paper towel, take care of the matter and be done with it.
Oh, no. Not me.
I spent the next 5 minutes trying not to touch any dish within 6 inches of the thing while focusing on not having an anxiety attack. Then I decided my next course of action.
I'd wait him out. He was headed toward the side of the sink with the disposal. Muah-ha-ha-ha!!!! As soon as he crossed over the mountainous divide I'd flush him down with a bug-size flash flood and flip the switch. Buh-bye Creepy McCreeperton.
In the midst of my ingenious plan my hubby happened to call just to say hi. When I explained what I was doing there was a moment of silence and then, "So . . .you're herding a spider??"
Well, when you say it like THAT it sounds a tad ridiculous.
I hate bugs.

You are HILARIOUS!!!! Blaine and I both got a laugh from your post. We can totally see your hubby telling you that! But I am with you on the bug thing only I would have found hairspray or something to blast it from a distance and there would be lots of screaming involved! EEEWWW!!
