So, I was in Maui last week. It was lovely. A bad week in Maui could trump a good week most other places, I think. I did find Maui to be a little bitey, though.
I didn’t see the biter, but it looks like an odd bite to me. So I told Steve I thought there was a decent chance he was about to married to a super hero. He asked if my spidey-sense was tingling, but after locating my spidey-sense, I still couldn’t decide whether it was tingling or not. Then again, what if it wasn’t a spider? Maybe it was a radioactive, genetically-engineered mosquito and I’m checking the wrong sense for tingles. Although, despite hating spiders, I do think I would prefer to be a spider-based super hero than a mosquito one. Or, God forbid, a bed bug.
This post got weird fast. Anyway, I think there’s a chance I could be one of the Avengers in a few months. Like one of the freaky-deaky ones – not one of the ones that are just really good at shit. Although I’d settle for being that kind, too.
I’ll leave you with this sexy picture of Maui. Lest you think it’s all about the spiders.
Aloha.
Ouch! Looks painful!
Yet totally worth it if it means I can climb up the side of buildings. Cause that seems like a useful talent to have. You know, just in case the occasion calls for it.
Loved Maui… just went there for our anniversary… and didn’t get bitten or stung once!
Well, not everyone is cut out to be a super hero.
I was really thinking it was more due to the fact that bugs just don’t think I taste good… sigh…
hahahaha. I do wish I had that problem. I’m still recovering from the Memorial Day Mosquito Incident of 2014.
I did have a small spider bite me on the lip when I took a drink of cold tea once… he was in there swimming.
Ew. I think I’d take the bite over accidentally eating him.
I didn’t eat him… he tried to eat me…
Lovely pic of Maui! Painful pic of finger. I wonder if it’s bad to be bitten so close to Halloween……beware the full moon when it comes…..
Hm. You raise an interesting alternative to my super hero theory. Maybe it was a wolf spider 😉
Erin [ouch!, you were in the Maw-ui of the spider?] It was great to see a post on your blog again! Spiderman was my all-time favorite superhero when I was a kid. And as an adult, I have awful vertigo. Where does Verti Go but DOWN?…and I HATE spiders. When my late girlfriend Alice was alive, I used to kill spiders for her. It was okay because MOST of these were wimpy little spiders. She was still scared of them. She was afraid of one of the symbols on her keyboard because it reminded her of a little spider…I saw an insect — it looked like a HUGE millipede — that was in our garage that trumped my arachnophobia, and you have to REALLY go over the top to do that!
Thanks! Yeah…I’ve been a little low on creativity the last few weeks 😉 I hate spiders, too, but love Spiderman. But the worst part of any Spiderman movie? When he gets bit, right? Not sure where you are geographically, but we get things called “House Centipedes” and they universally trump arachnophobia in our household! Don’t even care that they are technically “good” insects because they eat other insects…they are so creepy!
Erin: Birds eat insects. Beautiful birds — hmm. No contest. 😉 I don’t know what — specifically is is the all-out WORST feature of these centipedes. Hmm. Centipedes — how do I count the ways you creep me out? 😉
Hahahaha! Welcome to avengers, We’ve been looking for you.
I knew it! I knew I didn’t have these cat-like reflexes and perfect situational awareness for nothing. 😉
Though we don’t actually hire spiderman/woman ( ask Andrew Garfield and Tobby Mcguire about it) but I guess it’s high time we do. So, welcome again.
Lol. Yeah. Stupid Sony. Time to go over their heads, anyway.
Did you ever see, The Tick? You could start chanting war cries like, “SPOOOOOOOON!!!”
I’ve never seen The Tick. Could “AVOCADOOO” be my war cry?
It’s a lot of syllables for a war cry. Stick to the monosyllabic. And watch an episode of the cartoon version of the Tick
Haha! Spider lady it is… climbing walls, puking webs… s’all good. Just another day in spandex heaven. 🙂 Thank you for visiting my site and for your followship, Erin! Love your first post, by the way… good going. Plus, I think I took a nap in that hammock back in 1997. Are my initials still in the palm tree? 🙂 xx Mother Hen
Not sure I can pull off the spandex, but the vigilante thing I was born for 😉 And well done – everyone should nap in that hammock at least once in their life.
