I
prayed the other night night that I would wake up in a more timely fashion the
next morning. You know, wake up before
the alarm, or only push the snooze once.
Nothing too extreme just a “Get the day started off on the right foot,”
rather than the-- “RINSE. PANTS. TEETH.
SHIRT. UNDERWEAR!? OHYEAH. THAT. THEN PANTS.
THEN SHIRT.” Thing I do before heading out the--“SHOES!? KEYS!?
AGHK!” door.
I vaguely recall being a little bit awake and wondering if I should get out of bed, go on a run, read my scriptures--my alarm went off and I lazily reached over and pushed “Snooze” just once can’t hurt, right? And then boom. Charlie Horse. I zipped out of bed, and jumped over the mess of blankets lying on the floor. “Ah! Ah! Ah!” 7:03. God answered my prayer. I was up before the second snooze. I’m not sure if I’m grateful or angry yet. But I’m pretty sure He has a sense of humor. Because, well….Rude.
I just really wanted to tell that story. It doesn’t have any particular application to this post, and I actually don’t know what I’m going to write this post about. A large part of the reason I’m writing this is that last time I Skyped my family my dad turned to me at the very end and said “You know your rambles thing?” and I distantly thought…which one? I ramble all the time. What did I ramble about this time? Was it a special ramble? My Skype face showed my obvious confusion. “You know. Your rambles. Meggers, something.”

“Oh! Yeah!
The Rambles of Meggers? My blog.”
“That. You haven’t written in it in a long
time. You should update it.”
“….Okay.
I will!” So I did. And this is it.
