A Shout Out to Tim

On Saturday night (early Sunday morning?) I work up around 2:00...and let's just say things were NOT GOOD.  I don't think I slept until about 4:00 and even then it was on the couch sitting up because everytime I laid down my stomach felt like it was on a boat.  I couldn't even distract myself with reading (for those of you who know me THAT'S SERIOUS).  Needless to say, church was out of the picture Sunday morning as 1) I was massively sleep deprived and 2) I wasn't sure how my stomach was going to appreciate going to church and didn't want to have to make a quick exit partway through the service, and 3) I was freezing even though I was sweating...cold and clammy. Ick. Anywho, Tim went to church without me, and rushed home after church to see how I was feeling - bringing with him saltines and ginger ale for my poor stomach.  I didn't even ask him :)  Thanks, Tim!

Moving on, I have another story.  On Monday night I was doing the math for my challenges (see previous post) and was talking to Tim about choosing biographies.  I mentioned that I was going to google "biographies + interesting" and that it *might* give me some good ideas as to what to read.  Tim made fun of me (as I suppose he should - I should know how to do proper research considering I was a history major), thus challenging me to to go and google "biographies + interesting".  I will say right here that hindsight is always 20/20, as you will soon understand.  The first page that came up looked promising - it was titled "Top 10 most interesting biographies" or something like that, and the first person listed was "Edward Mordrake".  Now, I'm pretty sure nobody's every heard of him, abut apparently he had two faces, that couldn't eat or anything but apparently could laugh and talk.  He begged doctors to get rid of the face but they refused, so he killed himself.  There's no way of proving this, particularly because he lived in the 1800s and there's no actual record of him.  Anyway, this really struck Tim's funny bone and for the last two days he's been randomly saying "Edward Mordrake" in a fake British accent.  He was whispering his name last night as I was trying to fall asleep, which I attribute to the weird dreams I had last night.  So thanks for that, Tim.  Moral of the story: I should have never googled "biographies + interesting" because it got me nowhere and Tim being kind of creepy.

 That's all for now, folks! 

P.S.: I figure it's safe to post this, considering I don't think Tim actually reads this blog.  (And, Tim, if you are reading this - hi! Thanks for stopping by!)
