The other night while the husband and I were peacefully enjoying a lovely steak dinner, we were unknowingly being watched. Who knows how long we were being monitored. Perhaps an hour, perhaps the whole day. All I know is we were being stalked. Our every move, observed and evaluated in hopes of finding a pattern or a weakness. Something that could be used against us when the time was right. This is why I believe it was awhile that we were watched. How else could it have known that I would be the weakness? How else could it have known I was the one to corner and ambush in a moment of distraction? Virtually defenseless.
As I was saying, the husband and I were enjoying our dinner. We were in the living room, husband on the couch, me safely protected, or rather cornered; sitting on the floor, husband to my left, couch to my back and right. Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement to my right. I froze. In my hand I gripped my steak knife. Suddenly movement again! It was coming towards me!! I leapt!! I leapt from the floor and halfway into my husbands lap! Holding fast to my steak knife as I went! I am certain that I must have been attempting to protect my husband by throwing myself between he and the giant eight-legged fiend that was coming toward us! Luckily for me, husband knew that I was no match for the spider. He knew, that despite my bravery, the massive size of the quarter-inch creature would be too much for me to over come. Husband saved me. After he removed me from his lap and the knife from my hand he took the beast between his fingers and slayed it with one pinch! My Hero!!
