Even though the plagues have stopped, I am still keenly aware that something else rodently, bugly, or snakely may attack my apartment! I guess you could say that i am in a constant state of Unagi. So you have to understand how the events of 20 minutes ago played out...
So there I was, sitting in the dark innocently trolling the internet when the fear of all fears struck. From out of nowhere, a bush baby (not a squirrel, not a monkey, not a rat-- but something in between) jumped into my lap. As my computer and all accessories went tumbling over onto a crumpled blanket beside me, I managed to get my almost 7 month pregnant self to my feet and let out screeches that must have made my downstairs nighttime guard shutter. As I leapt toward the light switch, I heard a high pitched sinister squeal echoing behind me. As the light switch clicked, and the room became illuminated, I swung around only to find my sweet Happy girl in absolute hysterical laughter. She was laughing so hard that she was at that moment, dead silent! She finally let go an outrageous howl and she excitedly lapped for breath. And of course, it is in this moment that I realize the terrifying bush baby was no bush baby at all! Instead, I found laying there on the floor beside my chair, Happy's beloved "GiGi" baby doll. Apparently, she had woken up and thrown it over her crib and perfectly into my lap! And in the dark, my Unagi senses tricked me into believing that the rodents of Africa were on attack in my apartment. How the hell a bush baby could have gotten into my apartment... well... I don't know! But somehow in that split second my rational mind was gone and dreaded nature was out to get me.
It took another 10 minutes of both of us laughing, a few cuddles, and a song or two for me to finally settle her back down into her crib. Oh my goodness. I just got bested by a two year old. George Clooney-- the ultimate prankster-- would be proud.
Happy's passport better come soon because if I don't get out of here for a bit, I may just lose my mind!!! :) Thats right, comment below. I'm ridiculous.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You got punked by a 2 year old!!
I DID get punked by a 2 year old! So embarrassing.
Maybe off topic, but I keep getting flashbacks to that episode of Friends where Ross knows martial arts (called Unagi or something similar). But your bush baby adventure was good too! :-)
cystalimerepYour mind does play tricks on us especially at night. Who knew Happy was such a prankster.
Ok, I'm very annoyed because I linked the FRIENDS unagi video from you tube and also a link for bush baby and they don't really show on the blog. I'm gonna have to check settings and make sure links show as a different color! Will try to change that!
