Nightmare before Christmas?

So a recap of what happened in the wee hours this morning, before Mr M got home form work.
I decided to clean up all the dishes, and clean the kitchen (ask Mr M, I hate doing dishes).
Afterwards I felt the need to dress up a little seeing as we've had no time in the last few days for anytime together- this meant getting all cleaned up and finding something a little risque to wear.

Everything was going normal, sang all sorts of songs from Moulin Rouge and Chicago, got all scrubbed up and wonderfully clean. Now here's where this story goes terribly wrong.

I turn the water off in the shower, all warm and happy- then i reach for my favorite orange towel, start by drying my left leg, then right. Open said towel to wrap around my body and step out of the tub.
All good right? WRONG.
Out of the corner of my eye as I step out of the tub, I see a black spot.
:dun duhn duuuuhnnnn:
What was it? a big ass spider that had been chillin in my towel. The same towel I had just been drying off with.

~I'm going to take a minute to break down my thoughts on spiders real quick so you can fully grasp this situation.
I CANT STAND SPIDERS!!! Thinking about them makes my skin crawl, my heart pounds and I get a panic attack. If that's not bad enough, if one happens to be near me- I scream. Loudly and in a panic. Even worse is if one touches me. I have to fight my gag reflex, I just about pass out and I shake like a leaf. To say I have arachnophobia is a understatement. Ok now back to the story.~

I freaked. I threw my towel to the ground, moving faster than the flash (no pun intended) to the hall way where I proceeded to have my mini panic attack. Then it dawned on me Mr M is at work- I have no one that will kill it. OH. MY. GOD. FML.

After a good 5 minutes of coaching myself about how "you can do this", I reentered the bathroom to vanquish the prehistoric size arachnid trying to desperately escape the confines of my tub. Thinking quickly I decided the best course would be death by boiling water. I'll spare you the gory details, but lets just say the score is now; Spiders 0 - Megan 1.

I've also come to the conclusion that we need a can or two of Raid, I'm bound to come across bugs in the homestead over the next year. I'm going to make like a boy scout and be prepared.
