It was January 1st, and we had just got back from Bangkok after a lovely night of bringing in the New Year. Our little kitten was happy as a lark, and we were getting ready for bed. "I am thirsty, " I thought to myself, "and I think I will go and get a drink of water from the fridge." So off I went to the kitchen. The lights were off, so I turned them on, as is my custom of doing when the lights are off. I took the pitcher from the fridge and had myself a little drink of water. I put the pitcher of water back in the fridge after my thirst was quenched. "My leg is itchy," I thought to myself, as I reached down to scratch it. In doing so, I also looked down. That is when I saw the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life resting a couple of inches from my big toe. I jumped away from it, and it didn't even move. I told Jasmine that she had to come in and look at the massive girth of this spider, which she politely declined. I then took my trusty broom and killed it. Would you like to see this spider? Ok.....
