|
| But there is no rest for the wicked, and before I knew it I had to leave the house and make my way to school for the cursed exams. |
|
| Before I knew it though tears were streaming down my face and Marco reached over and wrapped me in a bear hug. |
|
| I opened my mouth to yawn, but before I knew it, I was throwing up on the floor. |
|
| Before I knew it, I forgot about everything else as I got lost in the world of volts, amps, and ohms. |
|
| Before I knew it I was pouring just a hint of dark creme de cacao into the mixing glass, and wonder of wonders, it brought the drink to life. |
|
| Before I knew it, he was right in front of me, head atilt again, and preening for me. |
|
| Before I knew it, Marius and I crossed the line between roommates, and, well, bedmates and we had a serious relationship. |
|

|
| Within 12 hours it became red, swollen and extremely painful, and before I knew it, I had podagra. |
|
| Before I knew it, I was haunting our best online auction site, TradeMe, every day. |
|
| Before I knew it my tummy boiled and bubbled and reacted in the generally unruly way that neglected tummies do. |
|
| Four steps from the bottom, my left foot skidded out from under me, and before I knew it, I was face down on the dressing room floor. |
|
| Before I knew it she was dragging me into a dressing room with the dress as well as various undergarments and a pair of shoes. |
|
| I started with a right hook, and before I knew it I was nearly punching the stuffing out of that old bag. |
|
| Before I knew it I was walking over to her and offering my hand for her to shake. |
|
| Before I knew it, I was trying my hand on the local real-life links and thwacking a white ball with a metal stick right down a fairway. |
|
| We had no trouble conversing with one another and before I knew it we were at the restaurant. |
|
| I must have spaced out, because before I knew it there was a great blare of horns behind me. |
|
|
|
| And, before I knew it, I was the proud possessor of a zillion raffle coupons! |
|
| Before I knew it my arm flew up, the auctioneer banged the hammer down and she was mine! |
|
| He backed out and before I knew it we were driving around forty miles an hour in Timberville. |
|
| Before I knew it, I had worked myself up into a frothing, barking frenzy and had to lay down and put a cold compress on my head. |
|
| My final day crept up on me before I knew it, and I was gutted that finances could not permit me to stay any longer. |
|
| Trent and I had just sneaked into the storage closet when his gaze drifted to the snare drum, and before I knew it, he started poking holes into it. |
|
| Before I knew it I was sitting out in the hallway with half the family crowded round, trying to help stop the blood flow that simply wouldn't clot. |
|
| It happened to be virtually on the day that I was handing in my last essay so I just applied, and before I knew it I had a traineeship. |
|
| I soon adjusted to being home with my Dad for half a day alone and before I knew it, Debbie was home from school with stories of what they did in school. |
|
| And before I knew it, the foam had oozed profusely, running amok outside of the can and onto my hands, clothes, shoes, and yes, even running down my leg. |
|
| Time passes so quickly when you are suspended in the air. Before I knew it, it was time to land rather chaotically in the fields. |
|
| Before I knew it he was whisking us away in a car to the closed side of the airport for an up-close look at a Tiger Moth. |
|

|
| Before I knew it I was buzzed and cracking up with laughter. |
|
| Before I knew it she was putting her French sticks in the backseat. |
|
| Before I knew it I had a pile of book as long as my arm and twice as high. |
|
| Before I knew it I had stolen downstairs and out of the house, to a toolshed we had across the yard that I used to hide in sometimes when I was little. |
|
| And then, before I knew it, he had bent down and softly kissed my lips. |
|
| The years flew by, and before I knew it Mark was in my classroom again. |
|
|
|
| So, I packed up two suitcases worth of belongings, said goodbye to my loved ones, closed my eyes, held my breath, and before I knew it, I was in Mexico with hundreds of cheerful kids. |
|
| The guard entered the room and before I knew it Sarah had left, I felt gutted and a broken man. |
|
| Before I knew it he had taken my hand and squeezed it, just a tidge, like a gentleman would. |
|
| I jumped at the chance, and before I knew it, I was interning at Apple. |
|
| With the moldiest of expectations, I started reading, and before I knew it, I was totally engrossed. |
|
| Before I knew it, my Home Ec pal Julia started screaming at me. |
