Falling asleep, weird mishearings, Entenmann's Fat-Free Chocolate Cupcakes

I *should* be getting ready for bed now, especially since it seems to take me forever to fall asleep these days for some reason! Key words: SHOULD BE. Instead, what am I doing? I'm aimlessly wandering around holiday_wishes, and getting a teeny bit of work done in RQ. At least I prepared a bunch of Christmas cards with greetings and stickers this afternoon / evening, I guess... I should also get a wishlist up there, but maybe tomorrow or Saturday as I get inspiration from others and myself!

I kinda wish I were like Alan since he falls asleep anytime and anywhere! Heck, it was even documented on an Awana year-end slide presentation long ago: the kids had their singing time, and here's Leader Alan fast asleep on a chair behind them! Nice example if any of them turned around, heh.

Earlier, I told my sister that I was losing my brain. She somehow misheard that as "I'm nude!" and had to tell Karen Grace and Margaret about it in the Dairy Queen where they were, heh. Well, at least I told her on Monday that I loved her... I should tell Eric about that since he's always bugging me about this "ministry of healing and love reconciliation" that he wants to see happen between us. (and about the "I'm nude!" mishearing, since I always seem to have weird hearing around him for some reason...) Tonight, I thought that my parents were dead somewhere because they didn't answer the phone when they usually do and I knew they weren't out. Yeah, I'm weird and construct weird fantasies... NOT of the sexy / perverted kind, ya peanut gallery! :P
