OK, I bought hubby the first 2 seasons of the TV show Supernatural. It’s a pretty good show, and the main characters are not too bad to look at either-Dean is the better-looking one, Sam looks too young-like someone Alex might bring home in a few years!

Anyway, there are 2 brothers searching for their dad, and killing evil scary things along the way. The stories are based on urban legends, the other day we watched Scarecrow and Asylum (brilliant writers, just come up with a show title, and the show basically writes itself-especially in my wild imagination!). They’ve also done one on Bloody Mary. The show is scary. Terrifyingly scary!

I’m the girl who read scary books when I was a kid, I’m the one who loved scary movies because they would terrify me. I can’t tell you how many nights I spent curled up in the corner of the sofa waiting for the parents of the kids I babysat to come home-just terrified! There was one house in particular, it was old. Super old. Lots of rooms and doors, it had a back stairway and everything. Scared the beejesus out of me every time I babysat there. I once watched the Amityville horror when hubby was out of town, when the movie was over I had to go in the basement for something, the heater kicked on when I was down there, and scared me to death! I once phoned him almost in tears when I realized that there was a door to the attic in my closet. I wouldn’t get off the phone until he promised to look up there when he got home!

Anyway the point of the story is that we got the windows replaced in our townhouse this week, so the curtains and blinds had to come down. The kitchen window we just left bare, and as soon as the sun went down, I was terrified. I was petrified that I would see a face in the window every time I went in there! So, I told hubby that as soon as the windows got replaced the first thing he had to do was to put the blinds back up in the kitchen. He got home yesterday, was pretty tired so he didn’t get a chance to. Don’t worry, he put something up. A pillowcase. A bright pink pillowcase, that when the light goes through it puts a lovely blood-red tint to the whole place.

Yep, much better. Not going to have nightmares over that am I????!!!
