Yikes!

Last night I was watching tv it was about 9:30 and I something brown went scurrying up the curtain next to the tv I put my glasses on an seen this thing! When it was alive it was bigger then a 50 cent piece the whole spider the body was long an fat but what got me was the long legs! It was fast! After yelling for my son to come an see it we both went into get this thing out of the house mode lol. After a few failed attempts he finally grabbed my long handled picker upper thing and squished it. I felt bad for having to do that but since I didn't know what kind of spider it was I didn't want to take the chance it would bite someone in the night and injure them.
