I’m Back (Also, Happy National Save a Spider Day!)

Well, it’s been awhile, folks, but I’m back.  Who knew that taking care of a baby would take up so much of my time?  The little monster is now almost 3 months old (wow, time flies), so since we’ve got almost a quarter of a year under our belts as parents, I felt like maybe I have enough of a handle on things to make time to post again.

We’re celebrating not one, but two holidays today!  First, it’s National Pi Day.   A lot of people celebrate National Pi Day by having  – you guessed it – pie, which is a great idea.  Since this is a horror blog, I’ll try to keep in the theme.  A slightly scary way to celebrate this day is to take whatever pie you’re eating and just call it a creepy cobbler or a petrifying pie.  That’s the easy way out.  If you’re feeling like going all crazy with it, you could make some sort of skull shape out of crust for the top of the pie, or just eat a cherry pie and pretend it’s oozing blood.  That’s probably my favorite.

It’s also National Save a Spider Day!  Spiders are our friends.  They kill annoying bugs and only bite us on special occasions, like when we accidentally threaten them or whatevs.  So in honor of today, if you see a spider in your house, catch it and let it go.  Don’t stomp on the little guy.  Check out the video below:

Isn’t that cute?  And a little creepy?  We should try to help out our little eight-legged friends however we can.  They just want to live in harmony with us, so let them.

Now, if you see a scorpion, screw that guy. Smash it and send it back to hell from where it came.
