Do you remember the episode of "Keeping Up Appearances" where Richard arranges to have a security system installed in the house for an anniversary gift to Hyacinth? I thought it was a hoot. :) Anyway, Hyacinth had to brag to her neighbor, Elizabeth, and she said, "Elizabeth, I want you to be the first to know, I'm going to be alarmed. Richard's going to alarm me for our anniversary." Understandably, Elizabeth was a bit confused. Silly, silly Hyacinth.
Well, I'm pretty sure we're not as pretentious as Hyacinth, but we've been alarmed here, too. ;) Before I go any further, this is not in any way a sponsored post. Installing this system was something we did during my blog break, and I just wanted to share some of the details with you.
