Praying for a good skinning

Wow, a whole day where I didn't have to cook a thing except for the cat and dogs food! Must have been my good karma from not killing tiffs cat last night. Ozfest and Pooh are here on winter break as Tiffany is in Steamboat skiing. Poor Oz, (who was locked out of my bedroom due to allergies....and her biting noses while your asleep thing) Oz was positive that there was a party going on in my room and tried to claw her way through the carpet. 1 am I was spraying No Scratch spray on the carpet, which really didn't deter her too much from crying.....
So I started my first day of work with not so much sleep and a good set of bags under my eyes. It was exactly how I hoped it to be AND included brunch! What a deal. Then tonight Adrian's family (aka 'the mormons') invited me to dinner. Those of you who know me best know that I have never (and will never) turn down a meal cooked by someone's mom, regardless of the religious beliefs. Turns out that Adrians dad has been a radiology tech for 17 years at St. Marys hospital. Coincidently knows the board members who choose the 18 students every year for the program....... Interesting.
On Sundays after dinner they discuss their week, and the upcoming week, and what they should pray for.....and I'm kind of concentrating on counting the flowers on my teacup when I hear
'Amanda, what is coming up this week for you?'
'huh? Oh, um I have to skin a cat' (eyes immediatly close. damn, so close)

(silence)

'Oh. Well. I guess we can all try to include Amanda in our prayers that her um cat skinning in uh anatomy goes well'

Excellent. I barely made it out of there without getting a good case of the uncontrollable church giggles myself.

What a beautiful drive home

Well don't leave me in suspense...what did the home cooked Mormon meal consist of? I am pretty sure they are working to convert you through home cooked meals. Careful now...
