I am a normal girl. . . 

Except when I'm not.

I had the opportunity to go to the Manti pageant last Friday night, and well, let me tell you that I think I really embarrassed myself.

I have to start off by telling you that I had gotten up on Friday morning at 4:30 am because I had to take my mom to the airport.  Then, I worked a full day at work without a break.  And, had to go home and pack stuff because I am house sitting while my mom is gone visiting my sister.  So, by the time we left for the pageant, I was a little bit tired.

The ride there was pretty uneventful, except for the fact that the girl I didn't know who came with us thought I was married w/ children, because I kept referring to "my kids."  (BTW, "my kids" are the kids I am directing in Les Mis.  It's just easier to say "my kids" then to say, the kids I am directing.)

Anyway, when we actually got to the pageant, that is when the ADD kicked in.  After we found a place to sit, all I could think about was cotton candy.  I believe one of my sentences consisted of, "Oooo, cotton candy, I want some. . .   Check out that cool dog. . .   Oh, a live band on a couch, that's cool. . .  So, does anyone see the cotton candy stand yet?"  And, lets just say that the night continued to progress from there.

I should tell you that when you are watching the Manti pageant, the people running around on the hill in the dark look like ants.  And, normally, that probably would affect you, but, when you are running on 4 hours of sleep, and have been awake for about 20 hours, it is pretty dang funny.  Also, long, biblical words are very, very humorous, right Barbara?  

Anyway, on the ride home, I really got the giggles, and was making the stupidest comments.  I think there were more about cotton candy, trail mix, swedish fish, and maybe more.  The ride home was kind of a blur.  Let's just say that I was very happy to make it home to sleep that night.
