The Brave One

I'm terrified of bees, worms (more like really grossed out),scorpions, and most of all spiders! Spiders are small hairy balls walking around on 8 legs!They also shoot out string and can swing around building from building and trap people in massive webs!.. okay wrong spider. But I'm used to being around 2-4 legged creatures! I have been grossed out by these creeps ever since I was young and watched the kid friendly Charlotte's Web. So Yesterday as I was doing laundry, I spotted the sickest spider on our ceiling! I have never seen anything like it, well not under the same roof.
After realizing that I was the only one around to kill the beast (Zach was at school, and Jonah was asleep, not that he could really help) I wanted to try the most resistant way to kill the monster. I decided to get the broom and smack the ceiling as hard as I could hoping that it would kill him rather than just knock him to the ground! Well that didn't exactly work out the way I hoped. The broom was back on the left side of our fridge and my arms, nor a coat hanger was long enough to reach.


Plan B. I grabbed the biggest, longest cup we had,a big gulp cup from seven eleven. I poured just a little bleach counter spray into the bottom and trapped the hideous spider in the cup. It actually worked! I finally killed it!!! I was so poud of myself I took pictures and even saved the cup to show my husband.

I love new movies!

Okay, so last night we saw Dan in Real Life. It was pretty good.. from what I saw. About 15 minutes into it, Jonah woke up and needed to be nursed. According to my sister Cristin, this is the easiest thing to do when your baby is 3 weeks old and your in a dark theater. Maybe I'm just too inexperienced because it was not as simple as I thought. I have this awesome "Hooter Hider" I got as a gift and that mixed with no light, the baby jerking his head around, and just plain awkwardness.. it just wasn't working out. Anyway, but I decided that my favorite part about going to the movie theater is watching the new trailers. Is that strange that I pay about 8 dollars just to watch all the new and upcoming releases? So after watching about ten new trailers last night, I've picked the movie that I am looking forward to seeing the most. Disney's Enchanted! Maybe it was just the mood I was in but i could not stop laughing while watching the trailer!
