Funny story - I gave both hubby & I heart failure last night! We were sleeping with the window open and I work up around 2:40am and smelled smoke. At first I was like O_o. Then I realized it smelled like it did 2 years ago when the neighbor's house was on fire! So I rolled over and was looking out the window (for a glow or fire truck lights? idk) then for some reason I looked back over my shoulder toward the bathroom and swear, in the dim glow of the nightlight, that the room was filled with smoke. I freaked! I leaped out of bed, yelling that the house was filled with smoke and started throwing lights on and looking frantically for flames. I never saw Randy move so fast, EVER! He was right behind me and finally told me that I must have been seeing things - there was no smoke. I calmed down a bit and realized he was right. Ooops. Sorry?
I still wonder where the smell was coming from.
