Late & Bored

Caren's been buggin' me to grace the posts of our blog with my own words, so I thought now would be as good a time as any. Am I embarrassed that the 3:00 a.m. time that I'm writing this will be displayed when I publish the post??? Nah, not really. If you know me, you know I'm a night owl. And, as you can gather from Caren's last post, my attention is focused elsewhere when she's not snoozing. By the way, she's crazy in her sleep. I can't tell you how many times she has freaked out pointing at the ceiling - scared to death of whatever it is she sees in her dreams. It's pretty funny...unless she knocks the laptop off the bed. Thursday night I only got about 2 hours of sleep (thank costa vida & our friendly, pouncy little kitten who found my face at 4:00 a.m.), so I told Caren not to even think about waking me up Saturday morning. Eleven hours later, I emerged from my lair refreshed and rejuvenated...still too wired to get some shut-eye at the moment. Just finished my lesson for the priests quorum tomorrow, which happens to be on my favorite topic: missionary work. I'm now ready to get on an airplane and fly back down to Peru for a couple of weeks. Pretty odd how six years later I still get mission trunky. I actually got a chance to poke my head in over at the MTC yesterday and volunteer as an "investigator" at the TRC. Good times...I highly recommend taking an hour or two to go sit in when you get a chance. It's amazing how impacting the Spirit is in the most simple of teachings. Other than that, life is good. I have a big gorilla outfit I bought for Monster Sak to use in some sidewalk advertising, so we decided to break it out tonight and go see if we could scare some people. It was a terrible disappointment, let me tell ya! We went to my brother's place, and I hid in the dark while Caren tapped on the back door to lure them out. Unfortunately, Caren went and stood in a wide open spot holding the video camera on the door as Rodney answered it. Somehow, he spooked a little bit when I jumped out at him, but seeing as how he spotted Caren right away, we ruined our hopes of making him scream like a girl. Who will be our next victim??? That's it for now...I guess it's Discovery Planet until I doze off. Ate logo!
