Spider Tally

Yes, I keep a spider tally, and yes, I will share it with you.



Current Spider Tally: 3

01/16/10 - I spotted this one in my bathtub! I was about to get in the shower when I saw him on the side of the tub. He was simply whisked away by the running water. Bye, bye down the drain.

01/14/10 - This was an easy one...I was sweeping my kitchen floor and as I swept away the crap that was under my lower cabinets, a tiny spider crawled out. I simply mushed him with the broom.

01/06/10 - The worst are the spiders you spot when you're completely naked. Now, don't get the wrong idea. It's not like I make it a habit to walk around my apartment in my birthday suit, but I had just gotten out of the shower and removed my towel to get dressed. As I turned to the bed (where my clothes were laying), I noticed a bit of movement out of the corner of my eye. Sure enough, a flippin' spider crawling down the wall. He was light brown, almost transperent-looking. I grabbed one of the two cans of Raid I keep in my apartment and sprayed. However, when he fell to the ground, he began to scurry away...he just didn't want to make this easy for me. So I sprayed again. He was defeated.

It's a new year therefore a new spider tally. Last year we ended up with a total of 20 spiders in my apartment, hopefully this year brings less spiders.

12/5/09 - Wow, I went a long time without spotting a creepy crawler, but alas! This morning as I was brushing my golden locks, I leaned my head back and my eyes fixated on a teeny tiny spider on my ceiling. Luckily I was in a position where I didn't have to walk under the disgusting creature to reach my trusty can of Raid. It was glorious! Fumes were sprayed as the 8-legged mutant fell to the gound in a haze of toxic rain. Beautiful.

9/11/09 - When it rains it pours. I went so long without spiders and then I suddenly see one two days in a row! I was getting ready to hop in the shower this morning. I opened the shower curtain and there, in the middle of my bathtub was a little black spider. Easy enough, I just washed that thing down the drain.

9/10/09 - I went for a long time without a spider sighting and technically this one was not in my apartment. However, he was too close for comfort. When I returned home for the evening, there was a spider on the door frame, directly in the middle. I mean, if I would have walked through the door, he easily could have dropped on me. Mind you, this spider was massive...pretty sure he was a turantula! Anyway, I waited in the hallway of my apartment until the spider moved far enough away from the door, I quickly ran inside, grabbed a can of Raid, and sprayed the crap out of that creepy crawler. I then, left his lifeless body in the hallway to serve as a warning to all other spiders. Muahuahuahua!

8/3/09 - This story makes me shiver when I think about it...horrific experience! I went to the bathroom today (you don't need to know the details) and everything went as planned. When I got up, I went to change the toilet paper roll and just to the right of the holder was a giant nasty spider. Was it there while I had my pants down?! AHHHHH!!!

7/9/09 - This morning I moved the garbage can in my kitchen and found two creepy crawlers behind it! It's like they were having a tea party back there. Do spiders hang out together? What were they talking about? "Hey, let's hide back here and scare the sh*t out of Abby." WTF?

7/6/09 - I went for quite a while without finding any spiders in my apartment. However, they planned an attack over the 4th of July weekend because I found THREE! Including a big nasty one in my shower. I almost cried!
