antiquely-inspired..

still not feeling like myself gives me plenty of doodle-time. (see last thursday's post for details)

i think the *students* took out a bit of my brain with that WISDOM tooth..

seriously.

i mean, WHY am i feeling groggy? why do i have a constant discomfort in my head & face?  & why is my face looking like sloth from the goonies?

ok.. not really, but it feels like it does.. this is NOT me, by the way..

umm.. cuz i just had a bone cut from my head. apparently, that's the part of my *procedure* that the wonderful dental students forgot to mention.

i am NOT a medical anything. i don't even like to take pills.

i felt pretty sucky this morning only to look in the mirror & find out i look how i feel.

ew.

not. attractive.

O_o

sOo.. i'm feelin' all desperate like *maybe* they really DID remove sumthin' they weren't 'spoze to.. & WHAT WAS IT??  was it really part of my brain??

i googled. google can be very kind. and patient with people like me.

google basically said, "girlfriend, they cut your bone off yO head. you might be swollen for a LOOOONG time."

thanks a lot, google. 

that's encouraging.

sOo, here i am. feelin' somehow like that piece of my bone that's missin' had some brain attached to it.

honestly, if you felt like i do, you'd probably be thinkin' the SAME thing.

here's a doodle that i did to help ease my mind.. makes me think my subconscious mind is whispering..

vacation..

on my way...

to North Carolina tomorrow morning...

lots of packing to do & other fun stuff like cleaning..

meh. -_-

lookin' forward to the trip insanely.  feelin' like it's Christmas or something.

:)

my parents celebrate 40 years of marriage this weekend! no small feat!  

looking back over my childhood & my parents' relationship, i'm amaZed that they've made it this far..

but then again, i'm surprised that my j-boy#1 & i have made it this far also!

let's face it.. ALL kinds of statistics are stacked against marriages.

selfishness

infidelity

pornography

covetousness

greed

selfishness

laziness

lack of commitment

selfishness

abuse

fears

selfishness..

did i mention SELFISHNESSS!? 

we're plagued by the stuff.. ALL of us. even your newborn. Lol..

sO, if my parents or my own marriage lasts one more day, it'll be because we beat the odds...

and let's not forget that there is an omni-everything God who makes amaZingly sticky "glue" ;)

anyway.. yea. i'm lookin' forward to celebrating with them. it should be fun.  :)
