And subsequently died.
My nonexistent blogging as of late is partly that i honestly had nothing of note to say and partly that BEDA seriously did tire me out*. That's a little embarrassing.
Anyway, i still have nothing much of note to say, but i will babble onto the interwebs anyway.
Funny Misreading of the day: I was at Marc's today with my papa** and really had a ball. I ended up getting some foodstuffs which will probably prove to be entirely delicious and babbled away like the nutter i am. Also, i got instant pudding that i can make and the promise that Daddydear will teach me how to make scalloped potatoes***.
Anyhow, we were in the checkout aisle, and i was looking at gum, for the mere purpose of gazing at interesting packages and names, as i haven't had a bit of gum since probably 4th grade****. I declaimed that if i DID chew gum, i would choose Orbit, not only because of the humorous, but also because the packaging is quite attractive. I passed Orbit and looked at Wrigley's extraordinarily foul-smelling and pretentious 5Gum.
The flavor in question was called "Rain" but being the brilliant and somewhat blind person i am, i read it as "Pain". I wondered aloud if this was possibly the gum that Orthodontists passed out at their offices, and perhaps Wrigley should consider investing in "Comfort" or "Almost Motrin"*****. Then Pa alerted me that it was actually "Rain". But can you blame me?? Look at the packaging! The PAIN is just BURSTING out of the box! This picture accurately illustrates. Besides, it's sugarfree. How much more painful can you get?? ******
But i feel that my act of NONbrilliance here is severely overshadowed by my epiphany when i arrived home. I came to the conclusion that i only drop things when i think i will not, and similarly, carrying is successful when i declare that i will most certainly drop. The time that comes to mind is my very self-confident, very abortive carrying of plants to the car. I dropped the tray about two feet from the trunk. Whereas, today, i cried, "I'm about to drop this cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon!"******* and delivered them all safely to the kitchen.
I'm happily listening to Beatles right now. So that's good. "You say good-bye, i say hello".
It's good to be back. :)
*Current Fail: i originally wrote "ware" me out, but couldn't remember if it was "wear" or "ware" in this situation, so i switched to "tire". ::facepalm:: A trip to my mecca has shown that it is "wear".
**Two sidenotes here: First, i don't ordinarily rock the shopping trips with my dadd, but because i didn't have dance after my oboe lesson, we stopped to shop. Second, i ran into Tash! :)
***I love potatoes.
****And even then, i wasn't a huge gum fiend. I was not allowed to eat it before 3rd grade because i probably would've killed myself spectacularly and i got teeth-related, chewstuffs-inhibiting devices around 5th grade, so gum has never been optimum. Besides, i find that that little chewed bit, just floating around my mouth is sickening. Furthermore, i would probably spit too much, chewing gum.
*****Can't you see it? "Comfort" could be chicken-soup flavored, colored with quilts.
******When finding good pictures of "Pain", i came upon this blog. Very funny.
******THAT'S RIGHT. A triumphant carrying of THREE melons went down in my front yard today. Balancing FTW!
