So yesterday was full of fun adventure! I went to Science Central and got to play with all the cool science toys! I felt like a kid discovering science all over again. Only this time I understand why it all works the way it works. :-) I felt so smart! The best part though, in celebration of halloween, they were having a pumpkin chucking demonstration. They had built a medival catapult and they were launching pumpkins! it was so awesome!! I got to launch a pumpkin and it went super far and then SPLAT on the ground! Ah....science is great!! when i pulled the pin though to release the catapult, it came back and hit my leg...so now i have a nasty bruise on my leg. But...ah well...what can ya do?? Anyway...something very frightening happened to me on Friday though. I was seriously almost traumatized for a whole hour!!

So...i went to starbucks for breakfast to get a coffee and a muffin. Well...i hop back in my car, buckle my seat belt, put the car in first gear, and off i go. I'm driving through the parking lot when i realize there is a spider on my windshield. On MY side of the windshield. And it was a scary hairy one too! Anyway...i'm totally petrified...but i'm driving so there isn't a whole lot i can do about it. So i hope that he'll stay put until i get to work (only a 2 minute drive) so that i can get him out of the car. Well...as i was driving he crawls down his little web (which, quite frankly, there is nothing in this world more disgusting than a spider crawling down it's web) and lands on the dash board. Well...i kinda freak out at that point, but maintain enough control to finish my drive. The next thing i know, the spider has gone into my vent!! My VENT!!!! Well...then for the next hour, all i had was this vision of me turning on the heater and a spider flying out at me while i'm trying to drive. I would kill someone or myself for sure, b/c i'm not sure i could keep control then! Especially if it came flying at my face or something. I think spiders seek me out, and they have contests to see who can scare me the most. Because I'm pretty sure I'm the only person that this kinda crap happens to!
