Fluoride and Ink

I realize I haven't been posting much lately. I have every intention to do so but I often don't because I don't want y'all to think I am the most negative person you have ever met. It just hasn't been a fantastic week. As you can probably tell by my ONE post, I have been surrounded by crabby people. Really. Crabby. People. Its exhausting. They just suck the life outta ya! Its been an off week. Here's an example: a few nights ago I was getting ready for bed - a nightly ritual. I use this bubblegum flavored fluoride rinse (if I don't my dentist can afford to go on elaborate vacations). I had just put it in my mouth when something Brian said struck me as funny - it probably wasn't - but when you are surrounded by crabby people your laugh-tolerance goes down drastically. Long story short, I ended up doubled over the sink, gasping for air, fluoride rinse dripping from my nose (yes, it hurts) and mouth. Most of you would have laughed. Brian simply shook his head and walked away. He's seen this many times. I have an innate inability to actually get more than 20 seconds of fluoride rinsing complete without laughing. I can't shake this craving for a piece of gum!

I'm the kind of person who frequently chants stuff to myself like "if I can just make it past _____________, then I will be fine". The past week I have been saying "if I can just make it past Sunday morning worship, then I will be fine". I'm odd. I know. For me, it is particularly true that I never realize just how luxurious my time is until I am busy. One uninterrupted evening at home sounds like a 5 star resort vacation. I think I had a church meeting every night this week. New record for me!

Our new pastor is a riot, by the way. I saw him several times this week at various meetings. Of course, he talks more than just about any other person I have ever met so I suppose after talking that much funny things are just bound to fall out of your mouth more often than the average person. He is an "Amazing Race" and "Grey's Anatomy" fan. I liked him immediately. Its pretty cool to have a pastor who seems to have a sarcastic humor that pretty closely matches your own.

Lora re-inked my notary stamp today. This would not normally be deemed blog-worthy news, except for the fact that I decided I actually needed to USE it (the nerve). There are black ink spots everywhere. Everywhere. I keep picking up stuff and finding more. Its like a leopard puked on my desk. Unfortunate. This would be more hilarious to me if I hadn't slimed several final/legal/important documents in the process. Oh well.

It just hasn't been my week!!!
