Thursday Thirteen #3
Thirteen Things About Summer I Could Really Do Without
All of the accounts below are absolutely, positively true. (And I am only 3 weeks into my summer vacation.)
1. Spiders on the shower wall when you really need to bathe.
2. Spiders in the garage when you really need to get something out of your finace's truck.
3. Spiders that fall down when you open the front door to your apartment.
4. Spiders that hide in your bath towel when you really need to dry off.
5. Spiders that fall down when you open the door to your classroom.
6. Spiders that drown in the hot tub when you really need to just relax.
7. Spiders on your review mirrow when you really need to watch the road.
8. Spiders that play in the sink when you really need to brush your teeth.
9. Spiders that swim in your wine when the rest of the wine in the house is gone.
10. Spiders that live in the bathroom corner when you really gotta pee.
11. Spiders that reside in the corner of your kitchen when you really need to get the toaster.
12. Spiders that live in your mom's tulips when you really need to get close enough to water them.
13. Bees.

Oh my word, Mandy this is too funny. #13 caught me surprise and I laughed out loud. Thanks!
13 caught me by surprise, too. Since you're basically living with me this summer, are you suggesting I'VE got a spider problem? Cause I think I've seen at least one quarter-inch wide spider since about March! If this were a cricket issue I could maybe see it. Maybe Aaron could help you with these spider hallucinations? You know. Him being a mental health therapist and all. He offered your Dad a year's supply of Xanax so maybe he has something in his medicine cabinet for you? Hmmm?
xoxoxoxo
No mom, these guys really were there. They were! By the way, there was one on your living room floor last night, by the door. When I tried to get out the door, it reared up and hissed at me!
You're a mess--but a funny mess! Do you think maybe some counseling could help with your spider issues? On the other hand, a good friend of mine found a cockroach in her apartment once and checked into a hotel that night, until her husband got home from his trip and could kill it. So maybe you're not that bad? ;)
Mandy...thet was not a spider, it was Cameron.
A couple of thoughts - first, you really really dont like spiders!!! Most girls dont but you really dont! Second, I read your post and thought why is she writing about Thursday Thirteen. I seriously had no idea it was Thursday all day long. How scary is that? Maybe I could write 13 reasons its scary that you have no clue what day of the week it is! Think Im needing more sleep.
OK, I love EVERYBODY'S comments on this one but, Daddy, you CRACK me up. I would be checking myself into a motel if my sweet baby-son did that!
#13 did not catch me by surprise at all..she has always hated bees since mom told her they never sting ya twice and she got stung...twice!
Mom, you are forgetting about the black widow we found in your silly ground hog thingamijigger...wait, that was last summer. Whatever! This is still a "new" subdivision with lots of dirt yards and spiders are eveywhere. Daddy came down on Sunday and killed one for me that was trying to make it's way to my son's crib!
Sarah- Aaron already offered me free "systematic desensitization" sessions, but I declined. I know what they do to people during those sessions...
Dad- you are too funny!
Aunt Bev- consider it a blessing you didn't know what day it was. I would love to get out of the habit of looking at a clock. And don't feel bad - mom mailed off a catalog request card yesterday. It got returned because she didn't put postage on it.
Krissy - you forget. Cameron does do that. His is more of a threatening growl, but same thing.
Em... Mandy.....psssst..... Most people look at a CALENDAR to find out what day it, not a clock, honey.
Sigh.....
*shudder* crawly things freak me out. and flying things.
Thanks for visiting my T13 today! I don't have a dig camera yet, unfortunately, I just play with my mom's a lot (I think I use it more than they do and I only visit every few months!!) and get my film developed on cd so I can blog all my randomness.
Truth be told - I begged for a dig camera for christmas and got a laptop instead. The Rev didn't catch the hints that I dropped, but all my friends' husbands did and they got dig cameras for christmas. So when we went to the cabin a few weeks ago, I was shooting more pictures with my film camera, so they all drug theirs out and really they wouldn't even have any fun pictures if it wasn't for me saying "STOP THIS CAR!!! We have to take a picture of that!!"
Okay. Back to my blog now :)
Oh, no wonder I'm confused about what day it is. It is 3:40 right now, and I as just thinking "I didn't think there were 40 days in March."
Texas Gal - you should totally take the job! Third grade is so fun!
Tess- you crack me up! Maybe you should do my wedding pictures!
Now I know why you looked at your watch when I asked you how long it has been since your Jeep was serviced.
You forgot the neighbors pet spider that you hired a hit man for and assinated.
Okay, that WAS a big spider and it was trying to break down my door. It was purely self-defense.
Totally with you. Last night I went into the bathroom and a bathroom swooped down from the air vent thingy! I screamed. Those nasty eight legged things! Thanks for stopping by my site!
Since a whole week without hearing from you is silly, I tagged you to do the 7 Things About Me meme.
OK, so you ARE right in my living room but I'd still like to see a new post!
xoxoxo
