4.11.03 – creepy crawlies

i’m not particularly creeped out by spiders, however i am creeped out by large quantities of spiders. working in the front garden today, i walked across the sunny patch of dirt/weeds where i’m trying to grow grass near the driveway, and noticed that wherever i put my foot down, 5 or 6 or more little black spiders would go skittering away from my foot in all directions. ew. there must have been a hatch somewhere in the front yard this week with all the sunny weather. so of course i had to come inside and type “poisonous spider idaho” into the google toolbar, and look at close-up shots of yucky hairy spiders, so now every time i move, the little threads on my cutoff jeans tickle my legs and make me jump. working in the garden just lost all its joy for me.
