The horror!

I had the most HORRIFIC experience in the shower this morning. Let me lay the foundation...when I wake up in the morning, I almost never get right out of bed...I stay there going in and out of consciousness for about 20 minutes and eventually I roll (yes, literally roll) off the side of the bed into a somewhat standing position, which is not that hard because our bed is like 10 feet off the floor. I then make my way around to John's side of the bed and proceed to push on his leg and say "Sweetie, time to get up, are you awake yet, are you sure?" When I'm sure he's awake, I go to take a shower. Usually the first 20 or so minutes in the shower are spent leaning against the wall trying to sleep until I figure I'd better get moving or I'm going to be late.

I have had some experiences with spiders in the shower...and I really, really, really HATE spiders. I once was in the leaning against the wall stage of the shower when I opened my eyes to see a gigantic house spider on the wall about 6 inches in front of my face. My breath was sucked out of me and I jumped out until it crawled away, then I had John get it. So, before I get in the shower now, I always open my eyes wide and check between the curtains, all around the tub and on the ceiling to make sure I'm not showering with any arachnids. Did the same this morning, nothing.

So I have my shower this morning. I did the whole 20 minute lazy bit and then reached up to grab my shampoo (Vive Pro, for body, so good) and squeezed some into my hand when I realized I had seen something black out of the corner of my eye, so I look back up on the windowsill and I see a giant black WASP (or hornet, I'm not sure...it looked all black to me). So, I dropped the shampoo, started whining/yelling and jumped out and ran out of the bathroom. Then I started crying. John had been standing in front of the mirror and he was like, "What is it, what happened, what's wrong?!!?" He thought I burned myself. All I could do was point and whimper and he says, "Wow, how did THAT get in here??" Anyway, he turned his back and the thing started to fly away but got caught in the water and then he couldn't find it. I spotted it at the far end of the shower by the curtain and John killed it with my Neutrogena Pore Cleanser bottle! He's my hero!

You might think my reaction was a bit crazy, but I have never been stung by a bee, hornet or wasp, so I am absolutely terrified of them. If one flies near me I freeze for a few seconds but if it doesn't fly away quickly, I start running and flailing and screaming. Yeah, I'm one of those people, deal with it.

In other news, John might be coming to work with me!!!!!! I have talked to my boss about it and gave him John's resume last week. He e-mailed me this morning and asked me to have John fill out an application and bring it in tomorrow. I think he's going to write some kind of cover letter and put some samples of his work inside too. As long as they can afford to pay him, I'm SURE he'll get this job. I would be the happiest girl in the entire world if I got to come to work with him every day again !!!!!!
