Since leaving for college, my parents have allowed me the opportunity for much quiet and privacy in our home. The downside to this deal is that my bedroom is now in the basement of our home...this has on many occasions over the past 3 weeks of being home inspired me to loath spiders. For some strange reason, they keep coming back, no matter how many I destroy with my sturdy little spider-killing shoes, and each time they return, they're larger and scarier than the time before.
This post is in no way intended to be serious or meaningful to everyday life, tis' simply some ventings about what my housing arrangement has been as of lately with a pinch or two of humor added to it. Here's a list of 10 things that fit in quite nicely when you tack the phrase "you know you live in a basement when" to the front as a prefix. For example, "You know you live in a basement when _____."
10. Each time you destroy a spider, the next one is bigger
9. Bugs outside no longer have the same "scare" effect on you because you're so worried about the ones inside
8. Your eyes constantly survey your bedroom to be on watch for creepy critters
7. Tissues become your bestfriend and an essential tool for bug cleanup
6. You can successfully hit a spider in a single wack of the shoe
5. The spiders change with the seasons
4. You find multiple spiders, multiple days in a row, in the same spot
3. You take large steps over areas spiders were, to avoid possibly stepping on one in the rare chance another is in its place
2. No matter how many spiders you squish, you still scream and the mere thought of encountering such a creature gives you chills
1. You own a pair of shoes 'specifically' for terminating spiders

You sound very much like a Garfield comic strip here. :) I hate spiders, too, but we're actually dealing with hornets in our home.
Christy this is silly and adorable just like you :) I don't have spiders but outside I have hornets the size of humming birds and caterpillars that may someday be butterflies but if they keep crawling up my leg while I'm on my porch they'll never make it into a cocoon! Love ya lots!
