We've been in this house for a little over a month. Last night we had our first major incident. Other than Thanksgiving, that is, which was an undertaking unto itself. Six days of preparation for one day eating. I'm not sure if it was worth it, but it sure tasted good. Even after giving half the leftovers to Beverly, five days later my fridge is still stuffed to the hypothetical rafters. Oh well, at least all the dishes are put away.
In any case, on to my story. Our house had an alarm system installed when we moved in. It makes a beeping noise when the doors or windows are opened. It's horribly annoying, but at least I always know when James is coming or going. Last night around 1:30am our alarm system made that lovely beeping noise I've come to know so well. I startled awake and shoved an elbow into James. He exploded out of bed and started yelling at whoever was in the house. I looked to see what time it was and discovered that the power had gone out while we were sleeping. Don't you just hate that stupid blinking 12:00 on the clock when the power goes out?? I do. As it turns out, when the power goes off the alarm system resets and beeps. Tre annoying.
I imparted this knowledge to James who responded that he had heard noises downstairs and went to look, and to reset the alarm so it didn't beep anymore. He opened every door, checked the yard, and looked in all the closets. He didn't find anything but, to my surprise, he came back with a big kitchen knife and stashed it in the nightstand. We went back to bed, but five minutes later the beeping started up again. James grabbed his knife and went running downstairs but he found nothing, of course. Turns out he just didn't reset the alarm properly.
Craziness.

Doesn't James have a pistol? What's he going to do with a knife?
BTW, is your alarm made by Ademco?
The alarm is DSC. And btw, now that we've turned it off, we can't figure out how to turn it back on! lol.
