We just got back from the emergency room. Paige got bit by a camel spider (see Jim's blog). It freaked her out pretty good. I was alone in the studio when she came in quite upset. She was sure it was a camel spider but the only ones I knew about live in the middle east and they're huge. We caught it, sprayed it with bug spray and put it in a ziplock bag. Jim came home while we were Googling poisonous spiders trying to find out if we needed to rush off to the hospital. We decided better safe than sorry so we left.
The emergency room was pretty full so we were there quite a while. All the kids wanted to check out the spider in the ziplock bag. They finally called her in. After looking at her for about 5 minutes they sent us home. We stopped by Walgreens for some Benadryl just in case. When we got home Jim had completed his research. Yep, it's a camel spider. A little, teeny camel spider. I think Paige is going to have him mounted.

I'll bet you girls have started a trend here in town...kids searching for Camel spiders.
I do hope you have the spider mounted. Or stick 'em in some resin so she can make a necklace out of the critter.
I like the resin idea. She would wear it, too. A spider in resin is just her style.
Zoe's too. Heh, in fact I'd probably wear one as well. Always loved those flies in resin ice cubes.
Why must you chicks turn everything into a piece of friggen' jewelry?
If you don't know then I can't tell you.
Ya know there are exceptions to chicks turning everything into jewelry.
That Bobbitt woman tossed out a perfectly good item to use as a pendant.
Although to balance that out the Laturno woman now has a 22 yr old as her personal adornment.
I could use a new pair of earrings.
