bravery... then shame


today while i was driving i saw from the corner of my eye a small but good size spider (almost the same kind in the pic) on my blinker handle thingy. i thought it was fly but it was definitely a spider. i'm very much girl when it comes to spiders and i really really really don't like them, especially in my CAR. thankfully though, i was at a stop light and had some toilet paper (haha not sure why) handy and killed it with all the bravery tucked away in me somewhere! it was my moment of victory and success over the little creature.

but that didn't last for long. i was quickly covered with shame as i unconsciously threw the dead spider in the toilet paper wad outside my window. sorry city of LB, i littered... i'd like to blame it on the fact that i've lived in china the past 3 years, or the fact that i didn't want it in my car anymore (dead or alive) or the fact that i really wasn't thinking when i made that decision. sigh... so many victories and failures in life, especially in a span of 2 minutes.
