Flaming Dog Poop
Did I say my life would be boring without my job??? Hmm...
This past week my parents twisted Jason and I's arms to house sit for them for an entire week as they decided to take off to New York. Large, brand new house overlooking the lake... yeah... that was fun!
Wednesday night, Jason had the guys over to play poker. I went to bed as it was getting late. He came in about an hr later and we both fell asleep. About 45 minutes later (midnight) the doorbell rings and T.J. (yellow lab) starts barking her head off. I wake Jason up in a rush and tell him that someone is at the house. I am completely terrified at this point! He gets up and is gone for several minutes. I was thinking that I should get out of bed and see if everything is ok as the house is silent, however, I decline and decide that it is much SAFER in bed under the covers. :) He comes back in and tells me that there is a flaming bag of dog poop on the front step. "What???" He tells me that everything is ok and to go back to sleep. He is back asleep in about 2 minutes while I stare at the ceiling for a good 20 minutes trying to convince myself that it was just a prank and nothing bad was going to happen. (Also trying to get my heart rate back to normal!) I had just started drifting back to sleep and the door bell rang again at 12:30! EAK!!!!!!! This time he jumps out of bed and goes and yells out the front door, "Are you out there?" "YES!" came the reply. Jason comes into the bedroom and asks where my dad keeps the bats (baseball) in the house. "BATS?" I exclaim? "What are you going to do with one of those?" "Scare someone..." he replies. We decided if they came back again we would call the sheriff (small town Iowa). However, they don't come back again. The rest of the night is quiet. Except for the fact that Jason fell back asleep again in 2 minutes and I was up for quite some time. Seriously... I took a nap the next morning!
I was told that I have an "overreactive" imagination! :) Oh my...

I can't take you anywhere!
Oh my... the drama in my life!
This story actually happened last week, I just haven't been able to blog for a while.
My sister Amy and I decided to run to the mall to do some shopping. At one point, she looked at me and said "Ok.... I REALLY need to go to the bathroom!" I looked and her and said me too! We decided to truck it down to Target to use there bathrooms. All the while giggling at what we looked like, cause we had to GO! Once inside the bathroom, it was so... busy! But we each found a stall, only one between us. As we were um... taking care of business, it seemed as though everyone had cleared out and it was so quiet. This is what followed:
Leah "So... what do you do at time like this..."
Amy "Well... you know..."
She wouldn't say anything else, so I decided to wad a huge ball of toilet paper into a torpido and chuck it over the stall at her. Still no response. It was so quiet in there and we were obviously each not going anywhere for a while. So I decided to tell her a story. Once I was in a bathroom with a friend (who will remain nameless) and she decided she was going to create some noise so people wouldn't hear here taking care of business. She started sing some praise and worship music in this public bathroom. It was just the two of us... but it worked. So I decided to tell Amy this whole story about how my friend sang worship music at awkward times. Still, she said nothing. So I decided to take it a step further and busted out some Chris Tomlin as we were still in the bathroom. "All of you is more than enough for all of me...!" She is still silent, although I hear her getting ready to wash her hands. I come out of the stall and see her bent over at the sink giggling histerically. I was like "What is the big idea? I asked you questions, sent a gift over the top of your stall, sang you a song and you are ignoring me!" Still giggling and not able to stand straight up, she points to the stall between us and my eyes suddenly almost popped out of my head! There were two legs with black pants and black shoes just sitting there. No noise, no moving whatsever! Oh my gosh... I lost it at this point as well. We both washed our hands and practically ran to the clothes department to hide in the shirts until that lady left. I can't believe the kind of idiot I must have sounded like! Well, hopefully she knew I was a Christian!
I asked Amy later and she said when I had asked her the first question, she looked down and saw the extra feet. She thought: "Leah wasn't wearing black pants and shoes!" However, she failed to stop me from my little display... bummer. Also, the TP that I chucked at Amy landed in the strange lady's stall... oops.
