We had an unexpected guest arrive tonight.
Don’t you just hate it when company drops in without calling?
Especially when they’re difficult to accomodate.
You know the kind.
They use all the hot water when they shower.
They make long distance calls.
They eat the last doughnut.
Sigh.
Our house guest was even worse.
He wanted a foot massage.
Or, feet massage, as the case may be.
As if I have that much time on my hands.
Jeff showed him the door though.
Via the shovel. Cut him split in two.
And he still had the nerve to crawl away.
Headed two different directions. Presumably trying to throw us off the trail.
Smart.
But not smart enough.
We’re seasoned desert dwellers.
Don’t take my word for it. Ask the scorpion. Maybe you’ll run into him in creepy invertebrate heaven.

Thanks for omitting the part where I shriek like a little girl when I find this guy under(bare)foot in the garage. 40 freaky little legs!! That’s ridiculous.
Oh lordy!
(Love the new look though!)
Between you and Becca’s creatures, you could open up a zoo. I knew to expect something but wasn’t prepared for that!
Yuck. You would think it would be too fast for Jeff, with all those legs and all…
This one didn’t get him, did it?
When I saw this I seriously got ill. Oh…yuk. Yuk. And Yuuuuuuuuuuk!
Holy Crap, how long is that thing?? I am so lucky I never encountered one of those!
You need to start exterminating!
Ew. Scorpion?! No thank you. Tell him next time he should call first.
Blegh! Blegh, blegh, blegh, blegh, blegh!
Plz be sure to let them know the week of 9/14 thru 9/21 the vacany sign shall read NO VACANCY
ICK ICK ICK
Maybe he overheard “Ugly Bug Ball” the other night and considered it an invitation! hehe
Ewwwww…I loath the creepy crawlers!
Ok – this is where I’ve officially decided that Cdn winters maybe aren’t all that bad afterall – LOL!
(Although I think I heard my DH shriek like a little girl last weekend when a small field mouse danced over his feet. Still though, I’d take the mouse to the scorpion anyday!)
Thanks for acquainting me with something that til now was merely a thrill ride at Busch Gardens. You know…that *other* theme park – LOL!
Uuuggghhhh!! He is so creepy!!
On the bright side, at least it wasn’t a snake…
Oh, blech, blech, blech! {faint}
ahhh! thats so nasty! which reminds me that we never found the lizard in our house. oh i have the willies just thinking about it being loose in here somewhere!
OH yah thanks for sharing this Darc! At least it was the garage, right? Yikes!
Is that a centipede or a scorpion? Either way, ew.
I think I just let out a silent scream before getting faint in the head. I will most likely never visit Arizona, ever.
Oh man…my hair is standing up on my neck. OH MY! Two different directions. I have the heebie jeebies.
Oh that makes me want to vomit! I HATE HATE HATE scorpions… *shiver* I LOVE however your new header!!! So beautiful!
Oh how frightening!!!
By the way – I love the new blog design.

Holy Crap. I would have pooped my pants. And then, hyperventilated and maybe even cried. Seriously. I can’t hardly make myself look at the picture.
I just read through the comments (which one would assume I would do before posting a comment but I didn’t so, oh well) and I laughed at Jeff’s comment. Seriously, I am still shivering at the thought of that thing being inside of your house.
OMG That totally gave me the CREEPS!
YU-U-UCK!!!!!!! I can deal with spiders, usually. I can deal with ants. I can even deal with pill bugs and millipedes, although I don’t like them. But I cannot deal with things that look like THAT or scorpions either. I’d been in closed toed shoes ALL the TIME!!
It’s amazing how many people can hate scorpions when they have no idea what they even look like. hahahaha!
It’s a centipede.
Doesn’t look like a scorpion to me……..
