Addition to My Worry List

I came across this while checking the news on the web. I was totally shocked! How could this have passed under my radar? All this time I've been staying at hotels, unprotected from this type of invasion!

If any of you know a scaredy cat, consider me a scaredy cougar (no, not that kind of cougar.....never mind)! I'm just a big scaredy cat. I never cease to amaze my husband with my wild imagination on how everyone is out to get us.

We went to the zoo last fall, and we had to leave the stroller out of the primate room. Mark left his cup of water in the stroller. After we watched all the fun chimp shenanigans. we proceeded to put Gianna back in the stroller and move on. Mark went to drink his water, and I nearly passed out! "You can't drink that!" I said crazily. "Why?" he asked. "Someone could have spit in it or put poison in it!" Mark said he had never thought of that stuff until he met me. Not sure if that was a compliment or not, but he threw out the drink.

When I am at home with G during the day, and the doorbell is to ring, I jump. Not with curiosity or excitement, but with fear. I carefully, reealllly carefully peek out the window to see who it is. No matter who it is, I don't open it. Better safe than dead, right?

I wish I wasn't like this, but I am. Does that mean I think all people are bad? Mark asked me that once. After a moment of contemplation, I told him no. I think 90% of the world is really harmless. I just have to look out for that 10%, and you can never be too safe. I do watch America's Most Wanted!

Maybe next Lenten season, I will give up fear. And just to check up on me, pay me a surprise visit......
