FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!





Hello I was woken up bright and early at 4ish this morning... why ??? Watch the movie... I tried getting video/ pictures of the fireman and fire trucks but it was all black (crap) but I put them in anyway ....



Ironically I had a discussion with my friend JUST YESTERDAY about the fact that I sleep well.. O natural... I thought they did too... they said , oh no what if there's a FIRE? I dont want out run out naked!! I laughed and said... hey if it happened to me I would get dresses and run out...
Well I heard a **ding**ding** at around 4 AM **SLAM **SLAM*** SLAMM***... then firemen yelling loudly "GET UP THERES A FIRE IN THE BUILDING.." I jumped out of bed, went to the door in my blanket, Got Kyra up, got dressed, took my laptop and Kyra's baby pictures(cd's much more compact than the scrap books LOL :P) and took off down the stairs .. half way down I realized I didnt have my phone OR my Camera.. DANG IT!!! they wouldn't let me get it ... I remembered I had Kyra's phone in my car in case I needed it... so I put Glinda in the car (cause there were other dogs and cats out there, and glinda likes to play ... and I let her play... just not at 4 AM!!)put my computer and pictures in the car, and got the phone.. I did get a DECENT picture off that phone but I blocked data transfer ***dohhh***
so anyway...
I gather with the other neighbors and we take account of everyone there, my new neighbor across the hall wasn't there, so I let the Firemen know, he HAD come out just went to his truck... :P
anyhoo were all talking about the smoke then we see the fire truck that WAS on lifts, get taken down and see the hose get put away , we all knew .. they got the fire.. but where?? the curiosity killed the cat and I went up to the fire men (yes they were HOT firemen :) yummy!! ) and asked.. they said .. are you in (this apartment) ?? I said no .. then my neighbor downstairs said.. Ohh that's me.... he said I need to take you upstairs and talk with you... I was like DANG she's in trouble!!! I knew she's a smoker ..so I thought that might have been what it was...
we were let back in the house then I grabbed my camera (took those crappy pictures) and then asked the firemen what it was..

The neighbor had a bunch of plants from the summer that had dried up. and she apparently put a cigarette in the plant, and it went up in flames, I guess it took out a tee shirt too and was about to set the patio a-blaze...
we were able to get back to our houses at 5:30 AM and I of course blogged you guys :P
that brings me up to this very moment...
