girls night

i completely wasted my night-to-myself last night.

Chad wanted to go see a movie, so i got Bastian in bed and was just about to have a glass of wine and watch a movie when i saw a spider.  normally i don’t mind spiders because i think of them as protectors who kill other bugs, but i noticed it was all brown and i started to worry that it was a Brown Recluse spider which definitely live in NJ and i worried that it could bite Bastian.

i didn’t want to kill it right off the bat, so i decided to look BRSs up on google images to check.  i couldn’t tell though!

so i decided to look up All of the spiders that are found in NJ, but instead a list of all-brown NJ insects came up (84).

after peeling through that for a good 1/2 hour- while running back and forth to look at the spider in my kitchen and the spiders on the computer (it’s a lap top, but i didn’t want to be sitting right next to the thing during my research) I just couldn’t tell.

so i decided to err on the side of caution and kill it.

by then end of the all of that, i was exhausted and just went to bed.

Fun, fun, fun.
