This morning I awoke to a blood curdling scream!
I bolted straight up in bed when I heard it. “What the hell was that?!”
“I don’t know!” El Hub said, already getting up. “Stay here. Call 911 if I don’t come right back.”
El Hub grabbed a machete he keeps by the bed (yes, a machete) and hurried downstairs.
“What’s going on?!” I shouted after him.
No answer.
“Sweetie? What’s going on?”
I’d thrown off the covers and was sitting up on my knees with my phone in my hands. Then I heard other noises coming from downstairs, quieter sounds, like people laughing?
“It’s okay,” he called back, sounding relieved as he started back up the stairs. “False alarm.”
He stood in the doorway to the bedroom smiling at me. “But it looks like Tabs finally figured out how to turn on the TV.”
I guess he couldn’t wait to start watching the Cats From Hell marathon I set the Tivo to record, so he decided to start watching it now.
Or, slightly more likely, he accidentally stepped on the remote control and pressed the power button…
The screaming was from a sphinx cat its owners were trying to bathe. 
Tabs just loves watching My Cat From Hell, mostly because of the host, Jackson Galaxy.
He says that Jackson has always been very professional and kind each time they’ve worked together.
Good to know.
Well, I’m gonna go watch the next episode now while I try to calm down… You should enter this weekend’s giveaway if you haven’t already. You could win a $50 eGift card from Sephora.
What folks are saying…
“Hi Karen. Oh my goodness! I can’t believe I won! :O Thank you so much! You, Tabs, and your blog are amazing! Thank you for keeping me updated on all things beauty and more importantly, for keeping me entertained! Keep doing your thing! Thank you again.” -Jacqueline
“Thanks so much, Karen. Just in case you were wondering what I got with it, I decided to go with the Clarisonic Mia–I’ve been wanting it for years now, but have never purchased it because of the price. Your eCard helped me finally buy it! I look forward to using it. Thanks again!” -Jane
“Shut the front door! OMG Karen, you have made my day. I’m sick in bed with the flu and this has just cheered me up immensely!!!!!!!! BTW, I’m the one that sent you that pic of my pug in a wig a few weeks back LOL! Thanks again, honestly, I’m beyond giddy right now.” -Angel
“Oh my goodness! Thank you so much Karen (and Tabs, of course)! I really appreciate this! I’d been eyeing the Anastasia brow pencil in Strawburn to match my red hair!” -Chelsea (and Jiji the kitten and Quincy the bunny)
“Never before have I been so pleased to check my email right before bed!!! Thank you so, so much! I truly enjoy your blog and check it almost daily! Thanks again! This made my night!” -Melissa, Edmond, OK

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all, like, have you started to see any signs of fall where you live? Do you prefer to paint your own toenails or get them professionally done? Do you have a favorite pair of pajamas? How often do you stretch? When was the last time you wore a cowboy hat? What’s your take on men who wear vests? Who does your hair? — you get the idea.
