birthday ghost

since the husband is way too cool and creative for streamers, he decked out the living room with ribbon. strands were stretched out from each of the ceiling fan blades all cool like.

and since i'm a fan of the birthdays, when he wanted to take down the decor, i insisted it stay up, at least through birthday week...

but did i mention our ceiling fans might be possessed??
yesterday morning there was a storm brewing outside, so when i heard a sudden very windy noise from the general direction of the living room/kitchen area, i assumed rain was about to come pummeling in the windows i had left open (i love cold spring air!!!)

nope.

our ceiling fan had turned itself on full blast, ripped the tape off the walls and was spinning all the birthday ribbons around as a colorful cyclone.

weird. and this is not the first time. all though usually there are not ribbons attached to the fan...

once the light attached to same said ceiling fan in our bedroom turned on in the middle of the night. very weird.

i would also like to note, that even going to pitch black, middle of the night, to light on- bobby did not wake when this event occurred. that is- until i woke him up, asking him why our appliances are creepy...

...there are ghosts in the machine...

Bobby's a Mechanical Engineer. He doesn't understand that new-fangled electricity stuff.

Oh I'd be creeped out for sure. And knowing how not coherent you are when woken up from a dead sleep, I can imagine that didn't go over well for you. :)

Crazy. I'd be worried they come alive and attack. The wiring is probably as Hoge podge as the wallpaper in that place. LOL. Is it somehow connected to a neighbors' light switch?

Yeah, our TV did that in our 1st apartment, while we're sitting in the room reading, in the kitchen eating or in the bedroom sleeping. Always turned on by itself and I can say gave me the creeps when I heard voices in the house at 2:00 in the morning! Happy Birthday!

That is creepy. Hopefully, it does start comeing loose from the ceiling and chasing after you. Yikes! :)
