"The girls and I will go this way, Shaggy, you and Scooby check out the basement." - Fred

The other night around 11 pm (Jared was gone at graduation) I was upstairs watching a movie on the laptop and the battery started getting low, so I needed to go downstairs to get the charger. I started down the stairs and then froze on the landing b/c I heard someone downstairs (I'm sort of a scaredy cat anyways, but when jared's not home and it's night time, scaredy cat times ten). I stood there forever listening to see if it was really a person downstairs or if it was just my imagination. I didn't hear much more sound, but I just felt like there was a person down there. So of course I was trying to think of what to do, do I sneak back upstairs and call 911? I mean, how much time do I really have if there is a killer in my house, probably they're going to be looking for people to kill pretty soon, so it's probably pointless to call 911....
well, just then, I saw an actual person come out from underneath the stairs!!! (at this point, I still sort of thought I was imagining a person in the house....)
my eyes were fixed on the person as they came out more into my view.......it was little gracie! she looked so confused and half asleep. I asked her why she was under there, and she said, "underwear"? just kidding. She said that she didn't know, that she just woke up and was sitting under the stairs. She was sleepwalking! and I think I must have woken her up when I started down the stairs.
scared the bejeesies out me. the. bejeesies.
the end.

My Lips Hurt Real Bad.

From pressing them together in fury.
And confusion.
I am terrified of natural disasters. I am a control freak and things like tornados, etc. just don't work out for me. Spending most of my life in Kansas, I have learned to deal with them, but made the decision to try my best to live somewhere away from the possibility of a tornado. One of the primary reasons for picking colorado was its (mostly) absence of natural disasters. (That and it's insane # of sunny days per year.) No hurricanes, tsunami's, tornados, earthquakes. The occasional blizzard, but I can totally handle that. So, seeing this out my window last night made me feel like I'd been lied to. I don't like being lied to, tornado.
