WE FINALLY GOT EXTERMINATED!! It was about time, because in addition to the 2 Black Widows that were found by my upstairs neighbor, we were killing Hobo Spiders (the West Coast version of the Brown Recluse) left and right at my house...
Erica's boyfriend Chris was in town and I had to have him COME KILL A HOBO SPIDER THAT WAS IN MY BED!! It was scary. At the time, I thought it was just a brown recluse. But, then I read that Brown Recluses didn't really exist in Utah. So I was a little less concerned--
Until the exterminator came. I asked him to take a look at this brown spider that was by my door (since it was the same type that was in my bed and the 3 others that we killed around my living room). He bent down to look at it and- voile!- found a bundle of joy: A black widow AND a hobo spider! hooray! it was an arachnid party.
So these are really scary spiders- and Hobo Spiders jump, at least the ones at my house do. And I SWEAR they stare me down when I look at them. YIKES!
Last night I was sleeping and Cosmo was asleep on my leg. All of a sudden in the middle of the night, he jumped up and snapped at something. Then, about 3 seconds later, he snapped at something again and jumped up! I am 100% (though I was too scared to look) that it was probably another spider. I HATE THIS GAME!!
(by the way, the pictures at the top aren't from my house. That'd be too creepy!!)

Gross! I don't mind having to kill spiders every once in a while, but if it were like an infestation, yuck! Where were you for the homecoming game? You should have done the fight song with us!
