Ho Hum Sunday

I really want a nap, maybe I'll take one after I finish writing about nothing.  I also feel like I've forgotten to do something, and the only thing I can think of that it might be, would be exercising...isn't that ridiculous, but I've either worked out at the gym, or hiked everyday this past week, so today I feel out of whack for not doing anything.  I didn't even have to run after any kids at the party.  I did nearly cause myself bodily harm this morning, over something incredibly silly.  I was frightened by a fake bug that Sarah had stuck on the patio door.  I was outside weeding, and so I was already on high alert for bugs, and I had to walk in the house for something, and as I opened the glass door I saw out of the corner of my eye, this gigantic bug (and this is Phoenix so we can get some big spiders around here) and I nearly tripped over myself because I wanted to get away from it so quickly.  Thankfully, I looked back at it again (you know to make sure it wouldn't jump on me) and that's when I realized it was fake.  Now, I don't think I have a real phobia about bugs, but I do not like them...especially spiders.  I just can't contain myself if I see a spider...I turn into a total freak.  I nearly got myself and my friends killed once because of my reaction to spiders.  It was back in high school, day after prom, and we were out in the forest preserves for a picnic.  We got rained out and piled back into the car to go home.  My girlfriend was driving, her boyfriend was next to her, and I was in the backseat in the middle, my boyfriend next to me and his friend on the other side.  We were stopped for a stoplight when I saw this huge spider crawl up and over the driver's headrest.  I was instantly paralyzed and speechless.  Then the damn spider started crawling down the seat toward my leg.  That's all I needed and I literally jumped up and onto the lap of my boyfriend's friend (he was the farthest person away from the spider).  He was completely stunned.  I still couldn't speak, and I just kept trying to get as much of myself onto his lap as I could.  I think I finally pointed at the spider, and my boyfriend figured out what was going on, and he just started laughing.  His friend, meanwhile, just kept yelling, "Get her off of me, get her off of me!"  My girlfriend turned around to see what all the commotion was about, saw the spider and freaked out herself.  She freaked out so much so that she took her foot off the break and the car started rolling into traffic.  By this time I had found my voice, and I was screaming, she started screaming, my boyfriend was still laughing, his friend was still yelling and my girlfriend's boyfriend was yelling for everyone to shut up and calm down while he was trying to get his foot on the brake.  All this because I was afraid of a spider :)  It's never a dull moment when I'm around...and oh, my girlfriend managed to stop the car before it got hit.  Her boyfriend was an ass about the whole thing, and they broke up shortly after that day...I too, broke up with my boyfriend shortly after that day (there were other reasons for the breakup, not because he laughed at my reaction to the spider) and my girlfriend and the guy whose lap I ended up in actually started dating later that summer, but every time he saw me he would get very quiet and blush.  He was very shy and I think I was the first girl he ever had on his lap, LOL!
