Meet Big Albert

Another exciting day at home, I decide to ditch my run and do some mat pilates. I lie on the floor and am ready to being with a set of hundreds when I see a large-brown-leggy something running right for my face. With a small scream and an enormous jump, I'm up in time to see it change course and run under the couch. This spider is huge, an average size body with legs that stretch to a diameter of at least an inch if not more. I text Taylor and he laughs. 

Thus begins the battle Ashley vs. Big Albert. I crouch low to look under the couch and sure enough there he is, legs stretched out ready to run at a moments notice. The question now becomes how to get him. I need to scare him out of his hiding place and squish him. In my attempts he runs underneath the other couch. I get the broom and use the handle to scare him out of that couch. He crouches, obviously in terror of the giant before him, between the wall and the couch. Using the broom handle I try to smash him. And I miss...how could I have missed his giant legs? Sadly after this pivotal moment, he runs under the couch again and is gone forever. Though I stood sentinel for hours—to this day I have not found him.
