| I'm not a fan of pink, but if my kids couldn't read, I would so own this cup. |
I can make a cup of coffee last for a while, so I was sipping away innocently over the course of the afternoon.
In the
very
last
drink
What should I spit out?
A spider.
I'm pretty sure it only had three legs too. Which means...Ew!
The next day I only had one cup of coffee.
It was like some terrible and traumatic, (yet effective) form of aversion therapy.
In fact, at this very moment, I am drinking tea.
omg. lol i am also a coffee addict...this would mess up my mornings for a LONG time to come. lol
ReplyDeleteBabyDoll,
DeleteI still seem to be thinking about it every time I take a drink...
Such a pretty cup :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the old apple joke, what's worse than finding a worm in your apple - half a worm.
Adulteration is very good aversion therapy just not for things you love. I'm sure you'll recover. Coffee lovers rarely give up on their addiction :)
DelFonte,
DeleteI most certainly shall recover! Coffee is far to important to give up over one little spider. Or what's left of one little spider anyways...
lil, I do not know if you have the stink bug apocalypse where you live, but have for quite awhile here. Two winters ago,The just hubby at the time, 2 teenage boys and myself were sitting on our bed watching a movie. We were all having a snack and I choose cereal (coco crispies...see where this might be going...lol) I thought a piece of cereal feel down my cleavage and picked it up and popped it in and started to chew.....Oh s**t it was not cereal!!! I chewed 4 dang times before I started to scream...Hubby puts His hand out and says spit it out!! I crunched that sucker up.....much to the hysterical laughing of all three of them and me in the bathroom scrubbing my mouth out for 10 minutes. Hope that helps some, just one leg?...maybe?.....the whole dang nasty bug......? I think I'll go brush my teeth....lol
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to brush with bleach!!! Gross! Poor you. :(
Deleteluvs2pleases,
Deleteoh...ew. crunchy bugs are the worst!
On Saturday I was riding my motorcycle and a bug so huge hit my face shield it bent my head sideways!!! Still cracks me up....not yet ready to try the interstate @ 70 mph...
DeleteThanks for the...ewwws and poor me's, but I just can not believe I could be dumb enough to keep chewing....they release that nasty stuff...it did...DUMB ME. ;)
OMG, I would be with you. A couple of years ago, my hubby was talking and a moth flew right into his mouth. Yuk
ReplyDeleteIt is a very pretty cup.
sunnygirl,
Deleteoh, I so hate it when I'm talking and some winged critter decides to make an entrance...Doesn't help that my husband seems to think it's a sign that I should shut my mouth more often lol.
Oh lil, I love how I hear the same condescending reply as before D/s yet, I have to have a different reply after...;)
DeleteDo you know how many legs spiders have??? That means you swallowed 5 legs!!!!!!!! Get the Ipecac, quick. Lol
ReplyDeleteYuck!
Sarah,
Deletehow very unkind of you!
lol
Ewwww, that is traumatic!
ReplyDeleteksst,
DeleteYea, yuck, yuck, yuck!
Was it home coffee or did you buy it somewhere (ie starbucks) ... SUE SUE SUE!!! *shudders*
ReplyDeleteI am a coffee slut ... during the course of this past long weekend, at my cottage, I probably "drank" a dozen mosquitoes .. no spiders that I am aware of tho! o.O
Lost Kittie,
Deleteit was home coffee...Haven't put my cup in that spot since lol.
I'm not above drinking small insects...I draw the line at large, crunchy, or 8 legged lol.
Oh lil, this is one of those scenarios where i confess im laughing but if it was me i would be freaking out lol
ReplyDeletex
tori,
Deletelol--I must admit that your spider/clothing escapade crossed my mind as I typed this out.
I felt for you, I really did...But that didn't prevent me from laughing.
And yea, nearly traumatized my youngest by running around spitting and freaking out lol.
OMG lil, ew is right! This really gave me the shivers. I have a spider phobia. I struggle to even write the word LoL
ReplyDeleteHugs

Roz,
DeleteCan't say I'm a huge fan of them myself!
Now I know why I stopped drinking coffee all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteMy spider story includes, about 400 pink/blue and yellow spongy curlers (you know the ones we used to wear in our hair all those years ago) thrown at it to get it off the ceiling, an overturned garbage can to capture it, and a complete set of encyclopedia Brittanica (purchased from a door to door salesman) on top of the garbage can to contain it.
My sisters and I then closed the door to wait for our Daddy to get home. 5 hours later- when he walked in the door and opened that room to rescue us from that spider, he cleaned up all the curlers, put the encyclopedia's back on their designated shelf and slowly picked up the garbage can to reveal that "creature" that scared the living daylights out of us.
Guess what was there?
NOTHING.
You think you have issues?
~faithful
faithful,
Deletelmao!
Forgive me--I couldn't help it.
Me? Issues? nope, uh uh, never!
Seriously though, there's nothing worse than saving some horrid creature for late, only to discover that it has just gone "poof"!
When I was 3 or 4, my mom stepped on a scorpion. She smashed it and left it under the bottom of a jar to show my dad when he got home home. You guessed it, there was nothing there when he looked.
Oh my flipping GAWD! Spiders are like my kryptonite. That would have been the last ever cup of coffee...I would forever have that leggy wiggly feeling when I sipped - blech. Daddy is the spider slayer in the house....but he could not do anything with that - shudders - I'm going to have nightmares.....
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
June,
DeleteI don't think that anything can truly cure me of my coffee addiction, though it has slow my intake just a bit.
that was like five legs that went missing there lil ... O.O
ReplyDeletewednesday child,
DeleteI know! Blech.
Ack Lil. As a kid I once picked a pear from our backyard tree and was eating it...only to find that after a bite there was HALF of a worm coming out of it! To this very day I must cut pears up into quarters and inspect them thoroughly before taking a single bite.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so how about the Starbucks kind of cup with a lid?
Susie,
Deleteoh those squicky moments that stick with you forever just suck! I think it's perfectly reasonable to continue inspecting pears!
AH yes, a cup with a lid has been suggested lol. Not a bad idea actually...
Sorry, I couldn't help but to laugh just a teeny-tiny bit!
ReplyDeleteDid the aversion therapy stick?
Bleuamne,
Deletelol, I can understand you laughter.
I'm working my way past it! Though I do seem to still be consuming at a slower rate than previously...
ewwww!!! (((hugs)))
ReplyDeletesaturn,
Deletegood times, right?
lil, bugs are so GROSS!! I feel so bad for you.
DeleteWe are suppossed to have a cicada invastion here soon. I'm not looking forward to it.
:) t
