Off Roadin' and Scratch N' Sniff Videos

I've been fighting a cold for over a week. So, today I busted out some hardcore ninja moves on this virus. I think I scared it pretty good. If it knows what's good for it, it'll be hightailin' it out of my body pronto.

While my body's been on sick leave, my brain's taken this opportunity to go sailing in a land called Honah Lee. What I mean is, I've had a few wacky moments.

For example: On Sunday night, Casey and I went to Wal-Mart to buy a space heater for Colton's room. While we were there, I also checked out the cold medicine aisle and determined I couldn't really take anything there since I'm still nursing. (These details don't actually relate to the main point of the story, but just thought you'd like to know what we were doing at Wal-Mart).

Here's the scoop, I was the designated driver that evening because Casey couldn't find his wallet with his license. Now, I'm already not the best night-time driver. I blame this on poor night vision. Casey might blame it on other factors. At any rate, add in a nasty head cold and "Look Out Motorists!"

As we were about to turn into our neighborhood, I started veering off to the far right to get into what I thought was a turn lane. Casey starts shouting out, "What are you doing?! Nooo, nooo, nooo!" So then I swerve back to avoid going off the road into a drainage ditch. Cars honking . . . Apparently there is no turn lane into our neighborhood. Huh, go figure.

My other display of floating brain syndrome was on Tuesday night. I had been sleeping in bed when Casey came into our room. As he walked by, I sat straight up in bed with a very intent look on my face.

(Dialogue according to Casey)

Me: "Where's my . . . my . . . "

Casey: (Smirking to himself knowing that I'm out of it and that this is going to be funny) "Where's your what?"

Me: "My......"

Casey: (patronizing tone) "Water?"

Me: "Noooooo!" (Punching the bed)

Casey: "Phone?"

Me: "NOOOO!" (Starting to realize that I'm out of it but still desperatly wanting to find my missing . . .)

"My scratch video."

Casey: "Your scratch video?"

Me: "It's a video you can scratch and it plays video."

Casey: "Like a scratch and sniff sticker?"

Me: "Yeah!" (Laughing, realizing I'm not making sense.)

I never did find that thing. If you see it please let me know. It has a lot of really good smelling videos on it.

Haha!!! That's awesome. Hmmm.... I should show you my journal of all the amazing things JD says in his sleep. I first stumbled upon this on our honeymoon at 7:00 in the morning I was up (but still in bed reading). All of a sudden I hear JD praying for the food we were about to eat (no food - he was still totally asleep)!

Hysterical! Made me laugh. Chris talks in his sleep all the time and I do my best to carry on the insane conversation as long as it will last. It's hilarious!
