Sea Spiders

Okay, I'm having a posting lull, but I came across an interesting story about deep-sea fish found off the coast of Antartica. I've always been fascinated by the mysterious fish dwelling on the ocean floor. Once I saw an IMAX movie that mentioned a huge jelly fish type-thing as big as a football field! Do you know how often I think about that? Or the fish that generate their own lights to see in the murky depths. . . or all the unknown species that we'll never know about (cue the Twilight Zone music). Maybe I should be a marine biologist and forget the whole motherhood thing since I'm lacking in that department as it is. :) (just kidding, kids -- I love being at home with you!).

Anyway, I've posted a link that shows the Giant Sea Spider. I'm just glad it's deep enough that whenever I swim in the ocean, I'll never come across its wiggly legs. Kind of creepy, but cool!

I totally saw that on CNN! That is creepy. I am in suspense about the lousy day.

I've been babysitting various kids from the ward all week and haven't had time to recover from my Utah trip. The house was a disaster, the laundry was piled to the ceiling, and I looked horrible. I missed a fun night with a group of friends because I couldn't leave such a disaster. Jer was anxious to hang out and catch up on Lost, but I was cleaning until 1 a.m., so I ended up neglecting him. The house looks great, but it sure took a lot of work. Hopefully we'll have a better weekend.

At least they're deep enough I don't have to worry about them either!
