The Great Raid

Do you have friends that are so consistent they practically plan spontaneity? So, my über predictable friend in a rare moment of out-of-the-box behavior wasn't answering her phone some nights ago. No big deal, right?

Well, I was nearby and she's a night owl, so I drove by. Her car was in front of the house, and all lights were on. Naturally, I walked up and rang the doorbell. Nothing. I walked around the back of the house and called out to her, considering she might be in the back yard. Nothing.

So--to keep the retelling shorter than the 1 hour raid--I called for backup. I rang she-with-the-back-up key. As I waited for her, I continued the calling, knocking, and doorbell ringing. Nothing. My partner in crime showed up. We broke in. My partner headed for the kitchen. I ran to the bedroom. My sleeping friend jumped out of her skin.

Oops. Yeah, I inadvertently scared the absolute hell out of my sleeping friend.

Far from being angry, she was completely amused at our mission. We apologized profusely--especially me, since I was the mastermind behind the charade. I'm just glad she has a good sense of humor.

And we've decided we're not subtle and she's the heaviest sleeper we know.
