Insequential Unfortunate Events

I was saddened by the news of Anna Nicole's untimely demise yesterday. I got sucked into The Anna Nicole Show a few years ago (apparently I used to watch TV) and came to love little Sugar Pie. Now Sugar Pie is an orphan and so is her little fatherless child. It's tragic when people mess up their lives so. I think Bobby Trendy is to blame.

In other unfortunate news, I had to go to the dentist yesterday to get my old fillings gouged out and new fillings put in. Oh how I hate going to the dentist. I realize it's irrational. It's not that I'm scared of the pain. It's that I'm scared he's going to make me throw up with all those foreign objects he shoves in my mouth. I just sat and shook from the time I sat down in the dentist chair until after I left. When I got up from the torture chair, my legs felt like jello. It's kind of embarrassing, but now I know how Mercy feels during a thunderstorm (she's a shaker). I discussed the merits of sedation dentistry with him before he started shooting my gums up. And what's up with people getting laughing gas when they go to the dentist? I've never even seen a canister of the stuff at either of the dentists I've had in my life time. I feel a little cheated, really.

The other day I went into the kitchen at work and saw a big bowl of Chex Mix. I love Chex Mix, so I took some of it. But someone had added Fruit Loops to the Chex Mix. And the Chex Mix was cheddar flavored. Why would someone do that? Was it a serial mishap, or a one time thing? (I made a pun- a play on words!)

"Momma" has changed her ringtone to that country song that goes "you and me goin' fishin' in the dark...". This does not make for a happy me. She always has her ringtones turned up loud and she's never at her desk to answer the dang thing. She has the most obnoxious friends and family members ever! They call over and over again until she answers even though they know she's at work and they could leave a message on her voicemail.

sickening. all of it. dentists (to which i have not gone since...2001 maybe) and fruit loops with cheddar chex mix. i'm getting nauseous just thinking about all of that.

but you know what i'm really thinking about? why it behooved you to define the word "pun"... *eyebrow up*

Ha!

It seems like in school they continuously drilled into our heads the definition of "pun" immediately after saying the word "pun". Like it's a difficult concept or something.

So I've always thought that was funny and now in an effort to be obnoxious, I always define it when I say it.
