Can't wait for next week

I'm so sick of GOPRepublicanTeaPartyBS I could SCREAM!

Instead, I'll just breathe in, breathe out and move on. Or moveon.org. Heh.

Hey, thanks for all the comments about being busy. The beginning of a new school year – whether you're in school or have kids in school or, like me, aren't even affected by school – appears to set off the busy season.

I was so busy this morning I couldn't even blog. Who gets their teeth cleaned at 8 a.m.? I do, apparently. My new dentist and his staff are very kind, non-judgmental, never in a hurry and do all they can to make their patients comfortable. This whole denture adventure has been an ordeal, but it hasn't been their fault at all.

Eating is still problematic, but I guess I'll get used to it, eventually. At least that's what they tell me. ("They" includes the dentist, his staff, my Amish neighbors and the internets.)

After the dentist I went to work, and after work I stopped for the mail and LOOK WHAT I GOT!

Winnie, who won yarn in the Summer of Yarn Giveaway, used a little bit of it and a whole lot of her own creativity to make me a thank-you card. This is clever in so many ways, Winnie – the argyle texture, the sweet little tag, the color – it's just lovely and so thoughtful. Thank YOU!

And now I'm waiting for a friend to drop by and I'M STAYING AWAY FROM FACEBOOK. 'Cuz it's just too crazy right now. Next week will be all-Obama-all-the-time, and I can't wait!
