It was time for me to take some of recycles outside. I walked outside to put the recycles in the blue box. I turned and the web was about 8 inches away from my face--a HUGE spider was staring at me! 

(SCREAMING!!!)

Naturally I screamed top of my lung! I figured out who was the scarier one--the spider. The ugliest spider ran up really FAST than I ran to the kitchen! I had to tell Annie what happened and we ended up taking picture of the ugliest spider before we kill it. I know it's irony but had to take the picture to show you---to prove that I'm not imaging ugliest spider! 

There is no way to let it alive with what ifs--a poison spider?! What if it jumped on me? Yikes.. 

I tried to google what kind of the spider was...but I got myself heart stopped and I couldn't able to continue with a stupid little curious what it was...

That was my exact facial expression would be! 

After that incident, I was very worried to step out of the patio when I take trash or recycle outside of the kitchen. :S I'm NOT looking forward to clean up the shed--I can imagine how many spider it can be in there! 

Little Vacation

Eh, I realized I haven't written for a quite long time! Okay, I'm back, I think. Last week, I had an opportunity to have a little vacation with my friend, Annie. We decided to go beach for our little vacation before my job steal my life for another year.

We found a cheap house to rent for a week. It was a small house with some mold on ceilings, dust on ceiling fans, crappy couch, etc.. That's why it was cheap house and affordable for us to stay for a week. It was worth of it.

During the week, I saw lot of Coquina clams which was common on the beach. I saw some small fish, dolphins, Ghost crabs, few different kind of birds, and even some small dead jellyfish without legs! I was fascinated one specific animal. This animal made me smile every time the bird ran toward the shore to get food but ran away from the waves when it hits. Gee, that bird really moved so FAST! The birds looked so small and cute, so I asked Annie if she knew what it called but got no luck from her.

I only saw the bird three or four times during the week. Last day of beach, Annie wanted to stop by bookstore to find some historical books about the shores, people, etc. I was surfing around while waiting for Annie to find a book. I saw a book with many different animals on North Carolina beach. I decided to see if I can find that bird what I saw on the beach.

Hooray! I found it! Now I learned the bird called Sanderling. I also found a not bad video on YouTube you can watch and get the idea why I was fascinated. The beach wasn't the same one we were on, but the bird was the same what I saw.

Loved the beach tent! Worth of money. 

Look what I found something! It was a dead jellyfish! Serious, a dead jellyfish without legs.. Maybe fish or dolphin were trying to eat jellyfish--but loved the legs the best..

Let's get closer to the cool dead jellyfish body... Amazing it can see through to my fingers. 

Walked on the beach while beautiful sunset.

Argghh! Ghost crab... Often see this everywhere. 

Anyway, my point is.... I loved my little vacation, I really need that. I wish I could stay there longer before go back to work. Bummer, fall semester will start this week. Another year with stress, tired, etc. If I did last year, I guess I can do it again this year..
