Yes, again!!! Sometimes I feel like I live there. Anyways... I got done with all of my shopping and made my way to the deli for some roast beef, ham & colby jack cheese.While I was waiting for someone to help me, a little old lady pushed her cart up beside me. This woman had to be almost 100. She was so feeble that she could barely push her cart.She waited Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01895323782920179925noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611357167151033746.post-79459053668678370902009-03-18T14:35:00.002-05:002009-03-18T14:52:13.879-05:00New Comment Thing - AgainETA -- Let's try this again -- Something went wrong with the js-kit install.....ETA -- ehh........ screw it ...........

Every time I started following someone's blog, not only did it put it in my "following" section but it also added the blog to my subscriptions. That meant that my "gotta read it" count was always double.SOOOO..... I just spent the past hour UNfollowing all of the blogs I was following.

My face was still all numb and I was try to avoid eye contact with anyone.There are always a lot of people at our local Walmart, but yesterday, there were twice as many as usual. Some genius decided that they'd take every 7th and 8th grader in the state on a field trip.It must've been a home economics class or something.

First of all, my body doesn't react to novocaine like a normal person's body would. *breaks out into song* Novocaine.... for the soul.... before I sputter out. The dentist gave me one round of shots which included about 5 different insertions of the needle. He left me there to drool on myself and came back about 5 minutes later. "Is it numb?"

It wasn't a question of whether or not to do it. No. That decision had already been made. The questions were How? and Where?The Ol' Man was home, so at least the kids wouldn't be on their own. That was a good thing. And the pain. The pain would be gone. That would be a good thing, too.

It makes me nuts when I try to post a picture and the alignment of it won't work. It also bugs me that the quality of pictures is so BLAH when I use their upload function. I also hate the lack of addons and plugins and widgets and all that jazz.Another thing I've decided is, I totally screwed up my other site, Text Imps.

After 11 years of changing diapers it's hard not to associate the word change with the word diaper.The last time that Luigi wore a diaper was the day before he turned 3. All of the others took a couple more months.

The students line up, the teacher says a word and as a group, the students spell out the word, each taking their turn at the next letter. If you get the letter wrong, you sit down and you're out of the game. The last person left standing is the winner & they get a prize.
