Gordostyle, P.I.

So... the other night the pups (Jasper actually) woke me up at o-dark-hundred (4 AM) and had to go potty. (He always does just as you're falling into the very deepest sleep of the night. Good thing he is cuter than cute.)

As I was about to let him out the front door, I saw a car slowing going up our hill.

What on earth is a car doing out at this time of night/morning.

Stealing Christmas Cd's out of people's cars, that's what!

I was scared to let Jasper out as I hid behind the curtain and continued to watch the slow moving car go up our hill.

I called for back-up.

Scott.

He wasn't too happy about it either... but I promised that if he went out side to check on things... and make sure it wasn't our paper carrier, I would jump in the car and head them off at our hill (only one way in and out of our lil' bit of forest.

At this point, Scott reminded me: "What are you going to do by heading them off at the hill? You're too scared to even go outside." That's just a minor lil' detail my dear... I AM brave. (I might even apply at the police department if I catch them.) And besides, I would be safely locked INside my car, writing down the license plate number FOR the police.

He went out --- zero degree temps --- boxers and a t-shirt --- came back in...

carrying the paper.

It WAS the paper person.

Dang it.

I almost had 'em.

(Why do they come so dang early? That IS crazy!)

That IS crazy... but man you have a good husband ;) Too bad it wasn't a theif I have a feeling you would have shown him who was "boss" (from the confines of your car of course!)
