Tuesday Tell All-Scaredy Cat



I'm not scared of much, but here's a couple things that just give me the shivers.

MICE! I HATE MICE! I couldn't even post a picture of one because they just creep me out. I can handle spiders, snakes, or whatever. But I hate mice. I have yet to find one in my house, but the day I do you will probably all hear about it.


LICE! We never had it in our house as kids nor has my kids gotten it yet. (knock on wood) I will totally freak out the day my kids bring it home. I don't know if it's the disgusting way the bug looks or if it because you have to wash EVERYTHING top to bottom in your house to get rid of it.

Another thing that creeps me out and my family will agree with me is the shed behind our house that I grew up in. Growing up, my dad was a farmer and we had a HUMONGO shed behind our house. A few of you will know what I'm talking about and have even been in it. To give you an idea of how big it is it can fit 30 potatoe trucks, four diggers, 3-4 combines, a ton of junk, all of our cars, and a bunch of old farm trucks. It actually didn't creep me out until after I was graduated from high school. My family swears its haunted, just weird things happen out there. We're pretty sure a guy (some of you may know Blair, he would walk the streets of Rexburg or ride his bike) was living there. One time, Brad went out with me to put my car away in the shed and we were walking out and we heard music coming from somewhere. Well, Brad, being the man he is had to find out where it was coming from. We went a head a little bit and it was coming from my dad's truck. It was blairing loud. The key was turned back. My dad had just put it away and said he's for sure he did not leave the music on, especially that loud! Pretty Creepy! Lots of things like that would happen on a weekly basis.


One more thing that creeps me out is graveyards. We lived out kind of in the country (at that time we considered it country) and in the block we had a graveyard (and I wonder why our shed was haunted) My dad is a huge prankster and ghost teller and he just likes to scare people (Alison, ask Dave about it) he even liked to scare his own kids. I remember always having to have my guard up for fear he would be somewhere unexpected to scare the living daylights out of me. He would take us by the graveyard and tell us scary stories. So ever since I was little graveyards kind of creeped me out.

What Creeps you out?

I love your spooky picture!

I am surprisingly not that spooked by mice, but I also haven't really ever seen them very much.

Yes, I think if my kids ever got lice that would definitely creep me out.

I think I'm scared of the unknown.

That it creepy about your shed. I don't think I would have went in it. I am a chicken! I don't like scarry movies or anything & spiders are a huge dislike for me. Did you go with us that one Halloween in college when we painted our faces & went out to the cemetary at night. That was creepy! I don't like cemetary's either, especially at night!

The creepy shed is like a straight-up horror movie. I got prickles just READING about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally did the measurements:
Max-21.5", navy coat
Isabelle-21", powder blue coat
Mimi-19.5", bright pink coat

Oh, thank you so much for the hat-goodies. I'm so flattered that you would do that for me :)

How about adding cream? I think that'd look cute w/ any color. Feel free to use your artistic license & surprise me--I'll love whatever you do!
