Just to prove that our house also has a sense of humor - V, Winston and I all had our eyes closed catching some rest when all of the fire detectors in the house went off!!! So after a quick run to the 24 hour Walgreens to grab a bunch of shiny new 9 volt batteries - the batteries are all replaced, and the detectors are nice and quiet!
If you know about the recent bouts with ADT - you'll also find it funny that they called us to report a fire on our second story :) So even though I sued them just a few months ago - they're still "protecting" our house. It's good to know that they don't hold grudges :)
