Our First and Better Be LAST Scorpion

In my mind, the big news from the last couple days is that I had a scorpion in my bedroom. This happened two nights ago.
I was minding my own buisiness closing my curtains before bed, when I noticed a huge nasty spider on my window. There have been a couple of these so far in our house, so I followed proticol and immediatly yelled for Megan to come and kill the spider. She came fairly quickly, while I went to find something for her to kill it with. On my way back, toilet paper in one hand, keen sandal in the other, I spotted it... On the floor right in front of my closet was a SCORPION!!!!! I had heard about these discusting creastures and we even had a dead one passed around in a plastic container in one of our orientation sessions, but nothing could prepare me for just how completely repulsive this thing was. I screamed for Megan to get over to the closet. We then proceeded to both freak out, while Megan took my sandal and repeatedly hit the scorpion. With each strike, its skeletal body convulsed and we screamed. Finally after about four or five blows the beast was defeated. And we, aka- Megan, got it into an empty toilet paper roll and dumped it into the toilet. I pushed the lever to flush it down to it's watery grave.
