Off for my work retreat at the Arboretumtoday. There will be lots of apples and fireplaces. We are supposed to bring watches and blankets, which is fine with me as long as there is no Lamaze involved. I’m sure it’s for some team-building situation…. and since I know better than to blog about work, you’ll just have to live with the mystery, readers. Bygones!
It was brought to my attention that the “Wednesday” post wasn’t showing up on Explorer because I tried to write it in Word which is a bag of shitnot that compatible with WordPress and added a bunch of mumbo-jumbo that actually made my post INVISIBLE. Not messy. INVISIBLE. Uh-huh.
Anyway, Kory fixed it and if you never read the Wednesday post, go ahead. It’s a little dreary, more Plath than Goth… but, damn, Wednesday was a bad day last week. Considering that I cry about 5 times a year and all…
Oh, and here’s the conversation that I had with Rob, driving him home yesterday:
Rob: So.
Me: Yeah?
Rob:Ok, so… do you prefer when people’s upper teeth or their lower teeth show, when they talk?
Me: :::::::::::::silence:::::::: sputtering:::::::::::: I do not understand what you are asking me.
Rob: You know! Like how with some people you only see their top teeth and others you only see the bottom teeth.
Me: Dude. You are BLOWING MY MIND. I have never noticed that in my life.
Rob: I find that hard to believe. You??
Me: Seriously? People’s BOTTOM TEETH don’t show when they talk.
Rob: OH YES THEY DO.
… then he gave me an example of someone we know….
… then we had an argument about whether his facial hair was more sparse or full than Rob’s…..
Rob: Seriously, you have to start paying attention.
Me: I’m going to be angry if you’ve changed my whole scene, man. What if I never stop noticing that, now?
Rob: You won’t. (evil giggling)
Then I pushed him out of the car.
No, I didn’t.
I shot him.
With MIND BULLETS.
i can never stop looking at my mom’s teeth when she talks. it’s weird and gives me the shivers. and i carry mind bullets in my bag JUST IN CASE.

I’m with Rob on this one-I ALWAYS notice if people’s top or bottom teeth show when they are talking. There is a news caster on channel 11 that only shows bottom teeth-ask me, I tell you who i’m referring to.

Now that you mention it, I do tend to concentrate on the mouths of those who mumble, like don’t even open their mouths when they talk, for crying out loud. I have a friend who juts out her bottom teeth over her upper teeth when she is concentrating on something. It does make me insane. I have to look away, or seriously try to distract her! I think I will think a lot more about this serious issue. I will let you know how it goes. Mom

I guess Rob is vindicated… even by my own MOTHER! 🙂
My mom cracks me up.
