FOUND AN ID!!
Hogna gulosa

B.J. Kaston says:
"the general color is dark brown with light gray markings on the carapace, and black on the abdomen. In the male the black is more extensive. Length of the female 11 to 14 mm, male 10 to 11 mm"

there are also some sketches that look like you picture. pretty sure about this one. the skethces also have the abdomen of the female really swollen which might mean she naturally has a big abdomen.

She was HUGE!!!
I'm just glad she didn't feel like moving. I don't like spiders on me, especially when I get in close for shot.
I've been trying to get a few angles including the eye arangement.
