While sleeping, I heard the ticking and incorporated it into one of the most terrifying nightmares I'd ever had. The IRA had set a bomb and my family was the target. I still remember it in detail and it's been 16 years.Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-82002431289498561512009-09-18T15:39:58.500-06:002009-09-18T15:39:58.500-06:00Blackman- The kids all have it memorized already s...Blackman- The kids all have it memorized already so it ought to be a cinch to pull off.<br /><br />And yes, that alarm clock was alarmingly loud.<br /><br />Bec- You just described my life, only I have always been the person who is trying too hard (a.k.a. stalking). Stalking is WAY underrated.<br /><br />Cami- I was the freakish California Mormon who went to EFY in Utah every single summer of my teenage life and was determined to bring a part of it home with me. I was always all about making things BIGGER and more exciting.<br /><br />LauraB- I hope you're right! I live in fear that my girls will have to endure the same trials I did as a teen, including staying home with a carton of ice cream and a sappy movie during a dance or two. That's why I decided to start doing the asking. ;0) Thanks for reading. I have enjoyed your blog posts as well! (I am such a stalker!) <br /><br />T5th- I'm glad you enjoyed it. It wasn't what I started with but it was what I ended up with. And if you ever need a good laugh, there are plenty more where that one came from...<br /><br />Anaise- How fun! You should surprise Scott sometime. I think we often forget to continue dating our spouses, especially after the kids come along - but that is likely when it's needed most!Gerbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103247512887532095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-71182602133543772092009-09-18T06:44:56.551-06:002009-09-18T06:44:56.551-06:00How fun!

I was all set to compose a sob story response about how I never had such fun things happen to me, but then I remembered that before we were married Scott invited me out for my birthday by creating fake plane tickets and then getting one of his pilot buddies to fly us to Catalina for the day. Creative dates and date requests are really fun--perhaps I should surprise him with something clever one of these days. :)<br /><br />You're an inspiration!Anaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606090702540012629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-76246224900406838042009-09-17T21:02:13.167-06:002009-09-17T21:02:13.167-06:00I laughed at this, Gerb.

Or maybe it was just that I was the only Mormon girl in my grade at school.

The only similar story I have was a creepy one, because it wasn't for homecoming, it was just a guy who was trying way too hard. I never tire of your stories, and you never seem to run out of them!
