Scarey Dawna

Had a wonderful weekend in Pictou county with Patti and the girls scrapbooking at the farm...only one little complaint...scarey Dawna. My friend Patti has a Halloween obsession. This year she has purchased a five foot "Dawn of the Dead" or something of that nature. It's a woman, dressed in a gauzy white dress, with eyes that light up and she is motion sensitive and moves and moans (not in a good way) when she is activated. First I had gone out in the dark to light the fire for the ladies out of the kindness of my heart. While I am out there, Angie sneaks out into the small barn and waits for me to head back to the house and jumps out at me...I screamed. I forgot to mention that Patti's parents' farm is in the boonies and it's pitch black outside. I went back to the fire to keep it going and I could see those fools (Lori, Angie, Patti, Reta and our new buddy Nicole) laughing their heads off so I figured one of them was going to sneak up on me. I wasn't waiting so I went into the house. I didn't find out what the joke was until Patti asked me to get her camera out of the bathroom. First I am thinking "what's her camera doing in the bathroom" but do I ask...no...I, being the kind hearted, trusting soul I am, head into the bathroom, only to activate Dawna. All I see is her eyes glowing in the dark and she's moaning, needless to say I screamed...hahahaha, they all laughed. Dawna made the rounds all weekend, being moved around the house for best effect. Sunday morning, she was right outside my bedroom door, she startled me but I could have bet money she would be there.
All in all, a great weekend. My kids seemed to miss me, Graham asked me why I had left them. I think it was for sanity.
I think my husband is losing it, he's talking to my budgie birds that he supposedly hates, I know the truth though.
