Luckily, my husband is a very heavy sleeper, otherwise he would undoubtedly wonder why I take a flying leap into the bed from the bathroom doorway every single night.

Never in my LIFE did I worry about a chainsaw bursting through a door... until now. - Whenever I go downstairs at night by myself, I don't get nervous or weird until I'm heading back UP the stairs, when I start to imagine that someone is behind me and is going to pull me back down the stairs for nefarious purposes. The result? I end up SPRINTING the last few stairs and barreling down the hall and into our bedroom. - I have detailed evacuation plans for earthquakes AND volcano eruptions. - I have an extreme love for all prime numbers except the number 2. Because it's an even number. I would NOT recommend reading this list if you’re feeling even SLIGHTLY nervous or unhinged.

I do check the toilet for snakes, though. All the time. And I worry that catastrophe will strike while I'm in the bathroom or shower. That's pretty weird. Hmm….I don’t do any of those.
