Okay, here's the story: My husband and I (through the unfortunate way that life can be) had to find a less expensive place to live this past October and we are now renting the basement in a friend's house.
Our friend is a single guy who already had one roommate and got another a week after Michael and I moved in. So there are 5 of us in this house. But I really don't have a problem with the other guys, just our friend right now!
He is a really, really super smart guy and like some might imagine... it makes him more self-unaware than most. He's on the lazier side of home ownership and fancies himself a gardener which is weird... because he plants what he likes and not what would work in his yard, and not in the ground, but in planters that fill up his deck.
(background: I come from a family of garden smart people, who think these things through)
well anyway...
This is Minnesota and weather can go up and down so he's had to bring plants in at times and every time he has (since we've lived here... October and this spring) all kinds of unpleasant critters have been everywhere!
He doesn't mind things like this! He leaves spider webs and spiders all over everywhere because he "finds them fascinating" even after there is no spider living in a web he'll just leave it there!
He has a hanging basket with a ivy-type plant that he's let attach itself to everything in the dining room!
When we moved in, he was hoping that I would just kind of hang out in the whole house, but who wants to spend time with spiders running around all over? Not me! And in an environment like that? Again not me!
Now I am not saying that we're perfect! Our room isn't at its neatest and we've still got organizing to do in the living room of our area in the house, but I can't stand critters running all over the place!!!
I mean seriously, we went to bed after there was a centipede that ran across the floor and it was not small!!!
Then this morning I woke up to see a giant spider on the ceiling above our closet (which I made Michael take care of)!!!
Later I noticed that there were ants everywhere!!!!! And had after hubby went to work also spotted two more spiders(I was only able to get one of them)!!! Ick Ick Ick!!!!!!!
Not a pleasant experience!!!
Okay, I think I have vented enough. Problem I have now... is that I need more sleep and I am afraid to go back to bed.
Ugh, roommates! I just hope we'll be able to have our own place again soon!
