Mermaids-Cumin-Camping

As I get all cuddled up next to my hubs in bed, he says to me, "When I hug you, it's like I'm hugging a mermaid."  Then he thinks about it and says, "I feel like you're half human, half kayak! Because your body is human like and cuddly, but then your leg is hard and straight like a kayak."  "You're a Hayak. Hyman.  Kyman.  Kuman." He then giggled after he said "Cumin".  :)

Then he proceeds to tell me that he feels like we are camping with a lantern because my phone was on and lit up. But that we had a really crappy sleeping bag. (we just had a sheet on us) But we had a "Waaaayyy comfy mattress" Josh then say's "Sometimes I get scared that we are going to get eaten by a bear......or a Moose." "A moose might smell my farts because they smell like beef jerky because I ate so much of it." "Because they can smell really good." ha Oh Ambien.  How you make my nights a good laugh!

Last One to Bed is a Rotten Egg!

This one will be short and sweet.  As ambien kicks in Josh says, "Last one to bed is a rotten egg."  So I go get in bed, and Josh walks in to the bathroom to do his business.  He then comes and gets in bed, and nothing about being a "rotten egg" is said.  Then a minute later, I realize the light is on and Josh says, "I forgot to turn off the light." Me being on that side of the bed says, "I'll get it."  So I get up and turn off the light and the second I touch the bed Josh giggles and yells, "HaHa Last One to Bed is A Rotten Egg!"  It's not that funny, but to see how funny he thinks he is being made it all hilarious! Wish you could all hear his little ambien giggle! Love It!

Camping for my Birthday!

This year for my birthday, I decided I wanted to go camping! We went up to Redman for the weekend with some friends and had a fantabulous time!!  Josh chased a deer and we fed chipmunks for hours.  The first night Court & Nick came up and we played games until the crack of dawn! Then Saturday night, Ash & Jer and Beth & Johnny came up and then I was surprised with a birthday cake that had a flamingo!

For my present, Josh surprised me with new hiking shoes, a way warm/cute jacket and a 20 pass for Bikram yoga! While we were camping we only had a short, but a bit scary Ambien encounter.   Court & Nick kept Josh & I up again telling jokes and laughing, but as I could see the Ambien kicking in, I decided it was time for bed.  As Josh got in the tent, I stopped to talk to Ashlyn.  Of course Josh came out of the tent to see what was going on and started shining his flashlight everywhere looking for who knows what! I looked down and noticed he only had one shoe on.  I finally got him back into the tent and into his sleeping bag. But he was too quick and had picked up his gun and was waving it all around because the Night Sight on his gun glows in the dark.  It was like we were in a rave and he was waving his glow sticks around.  Sorry Beth you had to witness it.  But don’t worry, there was no bullet in the chamber and the safe was on.  Ambien + Gun = Not a good idea! Oh how I do love Josh though. He makes for a good laugh! 

The Foot Rub

I love to have my feet rubbed.  Who doesn't? So the other night, after Josh took his pill, I mentioned that my feet hurt.  He offered to rub my feet:) He made me lay down and put on Enya.  Then he started masterfully rubbing my feet.  Partially through the foot rub the music stopped, and he yelled at me, "I can't work without my music!" This foot rub was really nice and funny to watch Josh get really into it.  At the end of the foot rub, he wiggled his fingers in the air like they were magic:) Ha Sometimes Ambien gives Great results!!

Laman Laban

Since he was a kid, Josh has had a problem catching some Zzz's at night. To fix this problem, he has been prescribed Ambien to help him sleep.  Even with the pill he only gets about 4 hours of sleep at night, but hey, I guess that's better than none! Ambien can do funny things to you if you don't go STRAIGHT to bed.  This is one of the first experiences I can remember of Josh & I when we were dating!

As most of you know, Josh & I lived only 2 houses away from each other. So at night when I was leaving his house, he would take his ambien and then walk me home so that by the time he was back and all ready for bed, it would start to kick in.  But one night, it kicked in FAST! And he walked me up to my apartment and then I saw that giddy smile beginning to creep on his face and the wide glossy eyes popping open! The pill had kicked in and I was trying to get Josh to go home.  He could barely walk so I told him I would walk him home.  He protested so I asked, "Do you even know how to get home?" He said, "Yeah, you just follow the Iron Rod!" hehe Then it got funny!

As I walked him home, he continued to tell me that if you just hold to the iron rod it will take you home to the tree.  But I need to watch out for the buildings and the water cause they will get me.  He then proceded to tell me all about Nephi! And how they wondered in the wilderness and then Nephi and his brothers had to go kill Laban because....Laban is Bad! He then said, "They cut of his head. Now Laban is dead!" Followed by the repeat of "Laman, Laban, Laman, Laban..." (Try to say that five times fast, don't know how he did it)

I finally got him in bed, but he continued to tell me about how Nephi's brothers were mean to Nephi because he broke his bow.  Then Josh wondered if it was something else they were mad at? He thought maybe it was because Nephi was so big and so good.  And maybe they were jealous? Or maybe Nephi was really cocky and was a jerk to them so they tried to kill him? This went on for another 5-10 minutes and finally I just had to walk out and leave him to talk himself to sleep!
