I Don't Think So
Monday, October 25, 2010
While I was blow drying my hair this morning that show kept replaying in my mind. We've lived in our home for 12 years and have never locked the front door except at night. It's unlocked all day, whether we're home or not.
My kids were all at school or work, my husband was gone and I was home alone. I heard a noise at the closed, but not locked, bedroom door. My heart stopped. I knew that was it. I was about to die.
I turned off the dryer, put on my robe (I wasn't going to be killed totally naked), grabbed my gun and slowly opened the door.
There was a crouched black figure there. I screamed and aimed. I almost shot my standard poodle. She was at the door tapping to get in. I caught my breath, grabbed her by the collar and went to lock the front door.
I went back to the room with my dogs and my gun. I locked the bedroom door. Then I took my dogs and my gun into the bathroom and locked that door.
With my vicious yorkie and my scary poodle at my feet and my .38 on the bathroom counter I finished getting ready for the day.
And my brother wants me to watch Shutter Island? I don't think so.

Haha, I can so see myself doing something like that.
haha, she scared the hell out of me!
I've done that kind of thing before. One time I nearly shot my own reflection in the mirror, actually. Perhaps I'll share the story this week. That was kind of a fail.
Gucci~
I'm so glad I'm not alone. Write it, I want to hear the story!
Oh, Gucci Mama, we are all waiting! Miz Diva, please be careful, we need you and the poodle both.
This is why I should not have a gun handy. I think I would be the person to shoot first and ask questions later.
oh yeesh. Good thing you didn't kill your poodle! LOL
This really made me laugh and I needed that today
I know exactly where you're coming from! My girls and Hubs are always telling me I watch too many of those shows, but I am prepared because of them..and maybe a bit paranoid! LOL
If i had a gun I'd probably shoot at stuff like that...by accident of course. I know what you mean though, those true crime shows really get to me.
Yeah, my house is locked up like fort knox all the time now. I grew up with the door always being open, but times have changed. Plus, i lived with my sis in law for a year and she is OBSESSED with doors being locked, and not getting raped and murdered. So, it rubbed off on me. At least you've got the gun. I think you'll be ok. hahaha
JP~ Yes, I need my poodle!
Christy, I need your bat!
Jen, I know, lol..
Waning~ I'm laughing at the whole thing now. I'm even home alone and only have my yorkie with me.
EmptyNester~ I think I watch too many as well!
Copyboy~ The can scare the hack out of me!
Allyson, I;m going to have to have keys made for most of us I think. My husband and a daughter that no longer lives here are the only ones with keys.
Those shows always get to me but I can't stop watching them. I would have reacted the same way
This made me realize how much I need a gun.
Thank goodness you didn’t have any legitimate visitors at the time. Maybe you should start listening to music instead of watching films and television?
The enigmatic, masked blogger
They let you have a gun!?! That is scarier than the movie you watched.
Oh yes Monkey Man, we've all got them here. Not to worry, I've only destroyed targets, cans and wasps. lol
Please tell us you will hide the gun from yourself on Halloween night ok?
Gotta love those sleepless nights, where nothing you do can make you crash! I like to watch I Survived, only it tends to make me a bit jumpy and nervous also.
God girl, you need to stop watching the scary movies. I have the new paranormal states from last night recorded, but I have to watch them while it's light outside. I'm afraid I would be like you.
We could totally be sisters!!! I have a .38 also. (Among several others!) I once almost blew my husbands brains out when he climbed our terrace to 'surprise' me in the dark of night....
I also have a fear of dying nude...
Shutter Island really wasn't bad..you should watch it!
I knew this old lady whose self defense technique was to keep an iron by her bed. She figured she could plug it in when she heard a noise and iron the burglar to death. I just loved Cora.
I guess it's hard to keep doors locked with so many coming and going, but maybe you should try. I not only keep mine locked; I NEVER open it to anyone whom I (a) don't recognize or (2) am not expecting.
oh god those shows scare the living shit out of me!
WOW,
It just shows how sleep is important for us women! LOL When I'm PMS'ing I'm a pack of nerves. I cant sleep and I'm jumpy all day. But then, last week there was a home invasion a few streets away. First one ever in these parts. One never knows! Thanks for stopping by today!

Note to self: Never, ever sneak up on the Diva. Or wear a poodle costume.
Poor puppy!! You're lucky she didn't pee your floor! LOL!
I can totally envision this whole event playing out! HAH!!
Shooting an elegant animal such as a poodle is such utterly "bad form." Especially when said poodle merely wants to get in, and lavish her attention on you.
Her Ladyship, Miss Sadie, my standard poodle, agrees entirely with my assessment! And beware, she's a killer dog! (If given the chance, she will knock you down and lick you to death; you have been warned!)
Gun?
That beats the heck out of my plan to kick them in the sensitive bits and run.
We've lived in our home for 12 years and have never locked the front door except at night. It's unlocked all day, whether we're home or not.
Wow... just wow... we so don't do it that way in New York...
Cheeseboy: NO poodle costumes!
Holly; looking back I was such a wuss!
Laraine: I'm getting an iron!
Rob; Have to protect the Standards!
Beth; that would work too!
Classic, I know, I really need to lock the doors, but first I need to get keys!
