My Father's daughter
My dad, as many of you know is a nature loving biologist who is against killing anything besides the creatures who eat up his garden. I was reminded of him today both as I woke up and as I was going to bed. When I got out of bed this morning I discovered I had slept with a spider. My dad takes thousands of photographs of spiders. He loves spiders. I don't know how he feels about sleeping with them. This was just a little one and I unfortunately shortened it's life because as I was trying to coax it into the cup I had over it, one of it's legs came off. However, being my father's daughter I did not kill it but let it outside. Then, to my surprise, as I was reading my scriptures late tonight what I thought was another spider leapt out at me. That was a bit startling and I captured it too and though I was in my underwear, ventured just past the door and let the thing go. I did examine it on the way to the door and it moved like a spider but was not because it only had 6 legs. I'm not so sure I want to know what I will be sleeping with tonight. Andy's out of town--should I tell him of his fellow bedfellows? I need to go to bed it's late. It think I'll check my bed again. I don't care for surprises of that sort.

Haha! I love the whole fellow bedfellows comment. I saw your DH at the courthouse the other day. One more big Huzzah for the old clerks and a hello to the new. Hope you are liking Boise as much as we did.
I have gradually learned how to tweak my layout by tweaking the html code for the site. pimp-my-profile.com has a code generator that you can use for blogger. It works pretty good for basic changes. http://sjhblogdesign.blogspot.com/ is another website that gives some instructions, however they suggest you use photobucket and I prefer the free pimp-my-profile for blog uploads. Anyway. I am not computer smart, but I have learned a bunch from trial and error. It is kind of fun actually. Good luck. Thanks for checking the blog out. I will be sure to visit frequently to see what you are doing. ;)
So I left comments on several of your posts, I got into reading them and wanted to just say hi I guess. :) I wouldn't like waking up and finding spiders in my bed.
So I think it would have been more humane to kill the spider who lost his leg. But then again, maybe he'll learn to live a well-adjusted life as a five-legger and be an inspiration to all his fellow species. Maybe it was for the best after all.
Gross! Ashton did the same thing the yesterday... took off a spider's leg while trying to free it. I didn't have the heart to tell him I think it died.
