E is for Eek! As Halloween approaches, our homes and neighborhoods are transformed into scary, creepy places that make little ones want to scream, Eek!
However, other things make us say Eek, too. Snakes make many people shiver, shake, and break out in a sweat. Others suffer from arachnophobia, a fear of spiders. I'm not a fan of spiders; however, in the past weeks I've had multiple Encounters that are actually helping me be less afraid of them.
Remember a couple weeks back, I told you HERE about my Encounter with a spider who wanted to sleep with me? That didn't turn out too well for him.

When I was in Florida, I had another Encounter with an arachnid. This Encounter was less violent.
My cousin's family is pet-sitting this tarantula. Don't be afraid; he is in his terrarium. He looks fairly large in his terrarium, but when you take him out....
EEK!He takes up the K and E
on Keanan's Nike shirt!
I brought myself to touch him and he was kinda bristly. Because I will do just about anything for you, my friends and readers, I did something I never thought I would OR could bring myself to do.

Ooooo, "E" is for eebies too! I'm freaked out just seeing it, could never hold it!
ReplyDeleteOoooh heavens no, I could not in this lifetime hold that about to be squished spider. No ma'am not me. I admit, I'm a get on the bathtub, jump in a chair move away from the object at 100 miles an hour kinda gal. Nope, not me. Tammy
ReplyDeleteAll I can say, dear heart, is you are a MIGHTY brave lady. eeekkk....:))
ReplyDeleteEek is right! I can handle small spiders, but not big ones like that! We have a fairly large one that has taken up residence on our porch light...but we made an agreement not to bug each other.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is EEEWWWW..... No way I would have touched that thing! LOL You're a nutty gal, La!
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
I'm much more afraid of snakes than spiders...but, no way would I hold that monster. Not even for my blog friends! You are a brave woman!
ReplyDeleteExciting! Yes I've decorated my blog for halloween too , I hope you come and visit . I enjoyed your post today . I say 'eek' when it comes to bugs but it's more like 'yuck' . having a pet spider is kinda cool . What's its name?
ReplyDeleteEek is right! That's an extraordinary experience I can to without :-)
ReplyDeleteThat would be an extraordinary experience that I would never try. Sorry not even for all my bloggy friends. eeeeek.
ReplyDeleteIt's that BOO and EEK time of year, fun post!
ReplyDeleteEEK for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteTarantulas used to hang out on our patio screen door when we first moved here. We haven't seen one in years, now. I have no idea what happened to them. We used to have scorpions as well, and they have departed. We were happy to see them go!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! Way to step out of your comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteTeresa
I don't think I'm too comfortable with your new playmates.....lol... definitely different.
ReplyDeleteEEEEEK! You go ahead there and I'll just watch! I'll go so far as to hold the plastic ones, but not the real thing!
ReplyDeleteA great E entry for the week, but I have to admit the pictures gave me the creepy crawlies. That monster is way too scary for me to even consider getting near him much less holding him. You are really a brae gal. Hope you have many more nights WITHOUT any spiders in your bed. Genie
ReplyDeleteThese spiders are huge. I think I would do more than scream if I saw one.
ReplyDeleteOnly a child could get me to actually touch one of those things. I don't mind spiders but that thing? Eek!
ReplyDeleteEeeeyikes!! I don't mind the small ones I find in my house. But a spider that would take more than one whack from my shoe to kill...nope, not gonna happen. Good for you! You ARE brave!
ReplyDeleteLa,you are a brave soul!If it were in my hand my position would have been horizontal instead of vertical.
ReplyDeletemy daughter is spider phobic ... if i showed her these pics she wouldn't be able to sleep ... like she is totally phobic ... not just scared, but totally terrified ...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely - EEK from me here with all those creepy crawlies!
ReplyDeleteEeeeek indeed! I wish I hadnt stopped by (only kidding)

ReplyDeleteNo way, no how! I don't do spiders! LOL! I don't consider myself having a phobia but I'm not going to be holding or petting any anytime soon! LOL! You are one brave woman!
ReplyDeleteNo, no, NO, NO way!
ReplyDeleteHoly moly.

ReplyDeleteI seriously couldn't make it through this post because spiders are my worst enemy. You know, the ones we get here jump.
Yes, JUMP!!! Totally grosses me out and makes me want to leave Japan....almost.
CRIKEY!! LOL EEK for sure, you are very brave! I am an archniphobe myself.
ReplyDeletenot sure if I'd EVER even touch one let alone hold it.
I mean on TV, the nature shows it is very interesting, but I do not like then being in my life.
Kudos to you!
