compliments of the house.

i'm pretty happy when we get complimentary sos pwa and rice with every meal we eat out (i mean, all 3 times).

and i don't know what i'd do without the complimentary alarm clock that helps us welcome the day. every day. consistently crowing between the hours of 03:00 and 06:00, without falter.

(yes, you read those numbers correctly. they were confirmed again this morning)

but i thought i'd seen it all, until we found complimentary halloween decorations adorning our walls last night.

i was brushing my teeth, thinking about flossing and celine dion's twins, when an explosion of tiny spiders drew my attention. i then preceded to play whack-a-mole armed with my flip flops, the reserve forces (read: stephen), and the resolve of an arcade-ticket-hungry 5th grader.  shortly after driving every tiny spider into the crevices of the wall, something else caught our eye.

the most generous of hallow's eve decor.

this guy. errr, lady.

okay, forgive me for not taking my own picture. (how could i have forgotten to document such a precious moment?) this isn't exactly what the scenario looked like, but the lady spider and her brood bore striking resemblances - minus half her size and half that many tiny spiders...

happy halloween from the land where giant spiders and their accessories are compliments of the house.
