Arachnophobia
I know, I know I am such a baby. There is a HUGE spider that has taken up residency outside the front door. Mom thinks that he is a cat spider, or something. He is the biggest spider that I have ever seen besides a trianchula. I decided to name him Charlotte. And, as I was driving out to go see a movie, I see a spider running across my windshield, but it was inside! I freaked out. I managed to get to the theater anyway, but as I was driving home, he dropped down from my rear-view mirror! It scared me so bad! I was screaming. I came home and woke Geoffrey up to come and get it out of my car, and he couldn't find it! A different morning, a spider had been outside of my front window. I didn't know he was there until I was turning onto the freeway. He managed to stay on there until I got up to 70 mph. Even though I HATE spiders, I couldn't help but think that it was a valiant effort.

It is black widow season here in LV now, so I don't really want to hear you sob stories about a cat-spider (obviously its Mael in his new form) in your doorway. Try opening the door to your laundry room to find a black widow hanging above your washer waiting for lunch. I HATE this time of year, because as much as I LOVE spiders, I HATE black widows!
BTW--I agree that it is freaky to have a spider inside the car--especially while you're driving. I've been close to running off the road a couple of times because all I can do is watch the stupid spider.
Dude, Allie you need to have your apartment sprayed. Another thing about spiders I hate is walking into their webs. It completely ruins my mood. Our new house has its share of spiders, but mainly we don't see them... we just have webs in extremely high ceiling locations that I can't reach to clean them off.
We decided to keep Charlotte around long enough for you to see him, Allie. By the way, I don't think it is Mael in another form, I think it ate him.
I saw a patient in surgery clinic today that had a spider bite (either black widow or brown recluse) on his butt. It was so huge and nasty with tons of dead tissue in the center that all needed to be removed. YIKES!!! Now he's getting cellulitis all around it and down his leg. If the antibiotics don't get it looking better in 48 hours...surgical excision baby! (Yikes for him!)
