Sometime last year, the light went out in our refrigerator. We haven’t had it fixed. For a while we kept a flashlight beside it, then a light in it, then a motion activated light that would only detect motions IT made. Then we stopped caring entirely.
A few nights ago, Gary open the fridge door, and suddenly backed away.
“AHHHHHH! WHAT IS THAT?”
I hopped up. I was convinced it was a cicada.
‘NOOOO! WHAT IS IT IN THE BAG IS IT A SPIDER!”
I knew it wasn’t a spider, but on the other hand, what was in the bag?
I got closer.
It did look a little like the legs of a giant spider under an electron microscope. So much so that I didn’t pick up the bag. Instead I shoved my face into the bag and identified it as…
…asparagus!
I bought big thick asparagus instead of the skinny stuff. It scared him a little.

You know, they sell those light bulbs in stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot and even the grocery store. So you can, like, see your food better.
Becs – it isnt the bulb, woman, it’s the lamp.
I put a washable tattoo on my leg a few years ago. I have terrible vision. So the next day in the shower, I was screaming and smacking my leg convinced a giant spider was attached to my leg. Then I remembered.
I’m shocked Gary hasn’t taken this opportunity to remodel the entire kitchen with stainless steel appliances, larger of course, necessitating new cabinets, which of course would require expanding the house…
Wendy – HiLARious.I love that.Caroline – Oh, he doesn’t care about kitchen technology. Unlessthey do have that fridge that can tell you if you need to buy milk.
They DO have that fridge, but it takes a lot of setup. I would have thought that it would cost more than 3500 bucks. Surprise!
Tami – By the time Gary was done researching it they’d have a better model out.
I also heard on the radio that there is a toilet conversion kit that warms the seat and adds bidet functionality.
Caroline – And all I got him for our anniversary was choclate covered strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
