The Unwelcome Guest

We had company this past weekend. The little bastard showed up, uninvited, unannounced, and unwelcome. I know what you're thinking. It wasn't my mother, but it was almost as bad. LOOK!

A friggin' scorpion, Africa-bug, satanic cult-leading, vengeance-seeking asshole of a spider.

Look at him! He knows I hate spiders! He's mocking me. Do you see it? He's all, "See me over here taking over your kitchen, Blognut?" And I'm all, "Do whatever you gotta do 'cause you don't scare me and I'm not getting down off this counter until your ass is cold in the ground," on the outside. On the inside, I was all "Mother of God, get that effing cockroach eating bastard of a mother-humping asshole Oh my God, do you think he's a scout? furry backed killer OUT of HERE!"

But I couldn't say all of that out loud because the blognutians were there. I mean RIGHT THERE. They were up on the counter, too. Blognutians do not fall far from the Blognut Tree. See? I have proof.


But before you start thinking I can get wise and try to blackmail them with pictures of them huddled on the counter in fear for their very lives, you should know that they are proud of their fear. They own it.

You should also know that the picture up there shows Girl #1's cell phone lying on the counter. So while I was busy documenting their fear, they were busy documenting mine.



That's me. Huddled on the kitchen desk fearing for my life. (Notice I saved my Diet Pepsi, too?) Those are my white knuckles. I might have been screaming. They might have been laughing. But one thing is certain, we were all keeping an eye on that spider until Mr. Blognut slayed the little bastard and saved the day.

And that is how I shall deal with all unwelcome guests from now on.

ROTFLMAO! You are hysterically FUNNY! No one was wearing a shoe? I mean, besides Mr. Blognut?!

Did you get him doing the deed? Smashing him to smitherines! (How does one spell that?)

Cuter than cute blognutians!

And, did I mention that I LOVE YOU! I do!

blognut said...

Blognuts do NOT wear shoes, SHE! You've seen this in real life, have you not?

blognut said...

And even if we did? Not a single one of us would've stepped on that thing. He was bigger than our feet. Put together.

No, really.

An Open Heart said...

Holy smokes Batman......where's a Robin when you need one? Sheesh, that spider was menacing......I'm the spider killer at my house, mostly plump, vindictive, black widows.......

Thanks, now I won't be able to sleep tonight.

otin said...

So, what I have learned is:

Blognut does not like spiders and that Blognut has nice legs:) haha!

blognut said...

OPEN HEART How do you do it?

BETTY Sorry. Me neither.

OTIN Yep, ya' perv!

Chief said...

Hubs out of town and there was a moth flying around...I made the 8 year old kill it before I would come back in the house. You are very brave!

Call Me Cate said...

Nice legs! Not nearly as fuzzy or blue as I would expect.

Also, I once spent an entire day hiding in my bedroom because there was some kind of flying buzzy killer thing downstairs. I feel your pain.

Leah said...

Wow you mean I am a bit braver than someone? At least I know how to grab a can of bug spray and use the entire can for one spider.

blognut said...

CHIEF I would totally do that if I could get one of my kids to be that brave.

CATE Heh. Are you coming on to me?

LEAH Ha ha! I love it! I only do that if Mr. Blognut is not there to save me and then I find a large container that I can place over the spider to trap its gooey remains until someone else can come clean it up. (I may or may not have used a plunger for that purpose once.)

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

God knew what he was doing when he gave you to Mr. Blognut and gave me to Tom. This way there is at least one spider killer and One Giant Wimp in each household.

I am the spider killer.

I don't tell Tom that he is a wimp, however, because that wouldn't be nice, and I'm always nice. (I typed that with a straight face.) I just tell Tom that when it comes to spider killing he's not a wimp so much as simply ineffective.

Scorpions are a very good reason why I could never emigrate. I'm impressed that you managed to get such moment-capturing photos in such a scary moment.

Michel said...

You did the right thing. I'm almost positive i saw a knife in that guy's hairy leg/hand.

However, I still contend that you may have to move. I don't want to panic you or anything, but he probably left a note or something where he was going. His family and friends are gonna come looking for him.

This is the like the very FIRST part of the movie where you're all like OH SHIT WTF?! OMGOMGOMG..then you're all wheeeww...but then you realize you still have one hour and 45 minutes to go.

You're effed. Don't go downstairs. Damnitt Blognut! DO NOT GO DOWNSTAIRS!

Frau said...

Great now i'm all itchy and freaked out!

Little Ms Blogger said...

You would never last a second in my house. I'm always killing spiders - I would freak if I saw a mouse.

Amy said...

I am laughing so hard. . . not at you but with you, well. . and at myself!!! I do the same thing. When I see a spider, I freeze. I will NOT kill it, I will not get close enough. Someone better be home to take care of it for me or I will obsess about it all day!! They give me goose bumps, make my stomach do flip flops and really just make me almost hurt myself!!!

I feel for ya, girl!

CatLadyLarew said...

I love it when the handsome Blognut sweeps in to save the day!

blognut said...

CHERI I am a giant wimp. I won't even dress that up with words like ineffective. I am a giant wimp.

MO I'm always thinkin'!

MICHEL I KNOW!!! I believe he was a scout and that there is a whole arm of dinner-plate sized whale spiders heading toward Blognut Manor as we speak.

FRAU I will take responsibility for freaking you out, but not for that itch you have going on; you need to see a doctor for that and maybe get some ointment and an anti-biotic, 'k?

LMB You are right. I would not last a second.

AMY Aha! Finally, someone who understands me.

CATLADYLAREW He's a prince, isn't he?

You should sleep with one eye open for the next few weeks. They now know how easy it is to conduct a not so hostile, and very passive takeover of your home. All they have to do is cling to the walls and chill, and you'll be trembling in fear.

My helpful suggestion: Buy a frog as your last line of defense.

Wanda said...

I may have to institute that plan for unwanted guests....

phd in yogurtry said...

How big IS the spider? with all that jumping onto counters. Godzilla size?

A Mom on Spin said...

Shame on you! Passing your arachnophobia onto your offspring!

I expected more from you! Blognutians should know better than that!

Frogs in my formula said...

Ew ew ew I have the creepy crawly feeling just from looking at that picture!

Kelly said...

I'm seriously glad I'm all caught up on your posts now, because my side hurts a bit from laughing so damn hard.

I scream at spiders too, then yell for the teenager. And then he laughs at me. So I throw things at him (but not til he's taken care of the spider because OMG what if he dropped it???).

Hit 40 said...

I am the official spider killer in my home. I will even swat them with my bare hand. Bring it on!!!

sherri said...

I'm right up on the counter with all of you! My skin in crawling after seeing that photo. Thanks.

San Diego Momma said...

Dude.

That is worse than my tarantula adventure today. Because that thing was in your house. And alive. And the tarantula I saw walking home from the kids' school today was dead and outside my house.

But still.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!

darsden said...

OMG LMFAO..hilarious I have missed you so much. I heard that damn spider laughing all the way down here. Too funny!

Missy said...

I need an Ativan just reading this!

A Woman Of No Importance said...

You and the little blognutians are just gorgeous - And maybe you need to hire me full time as a Spider Wrangler - I promise I wouldn't drink all of your Diet Pepsi, Bloggus, but I'd deal with all the unwelcome guests, to leave you free to blog, and be Bloggus Nuttus, in peace... I pwomise! Love you xox
