EEEEEK!!!

Or, I am such a goober

I was downstairs doing stuff tonight after the kids were in bed, and when I finally headed upstairs, nearly all the lights were off. I'd turned on my bedside lamp earlier in the evening, so I knew I'd be able to see in my room once I got upstairs, and there's enough residual light from outside that I knew I'd be able to negotiate the stairs.

So I head upstairs, and suddenly I see this LARGE shape looming in front of me, just to the right, between me and the large window on the landing!

Of course, I gasp, though I don't let out a Hollywood thriller heroine scream (gasps I can do; full blown screams, not so much).

Turns out, it's the silly little tree I bought to go on the landing.....You'd think I'd've remembered that, since I bought it....
