Yesterday, when I went to check our mail, I realized that I had lost my mailbox and house keys. I was a little panicked because if I lost it at the mailbox then whoever found it would know what house the keys belonged to because our address is on our mailbox. Mario was coming home late that night but I knew that the last thing he would want to do is change out locks when he came home. So I went to Ace Hardware and bought a new deadbolt and installed it almost all by myself. I got stuck on how to put the back plate on so the neighbor helped me finish. I was pretty proud of myself. We had been wanting to change the locks on the house anyway so this gave us a big excuse to do it right away.
I think I watch too many Dateline murder mysteries because I was imagining someone coming in and killing me and the kids before Mario got home. Then he would come home and discover us but then be accused of the crime because there was no forced entry. No one knew I was missing my house keys. I thought about calling my mom and telling her but instead of freaking her out I decided to just change out the locks. Am I the most paranoid person on the earth?
Today Mario had to go to the post office and request them to change out our lock on the mailbox. Fortunately his key didn't work to open it and so they will replace the lock for free.

That's pretty cool that you changed the lock yourself. I'm really impressed. Yes, you watch too many Dateline murder mysteries.
