I have found quite a few of these spiders in and around my home. They are especially prevalent near planting areas alongside the house.

This spider is in the family Pisauridae (fishing/dock/nursery web spiders); likely Pisaurina mira - see http://tinyurl.com/onwnr7 for an image. They are active hunters like wolf spiders; large specimens can deliver a painful bite if mishandled, but otherwise are harmless to humans.
