hey guys, ‘member that time i went to camp with my church and i peed my pants on the floor because i was laughing so hard?

‘member how i was so embarassed but everyone thought it was hilarious and somehow everyone in my cabin started this inside joke that a frog had peed on the floor even though it was me? and ‘member how all week we kept saying, the frog peed in our cabin! and giggled like crazy?

thank the Good Lord for nice church girls.

‘member that time i went to a movie?

‘member how after the movie i went to my car and realized i locked my keys inside? ‘member how i called bryan to bring me my spare key and while i was waiting i noticed that the car next to mine was running? ‘member how after i looked around for the owner and thought of ways i could let the owner of the car know i realized it was my car that was running? and that not only had i locked my keys in the car, but that i had left my car running during the entire movie.

good thing it wasn’t lotr or something.

‘member that time when i tripped up the stairs at my church, fell flat on my face, rolled over into an folded, upright table, knocked it over and was crushed, face-first, underneath of it?

‘member how my forehead just kind-of popped open and was gushing blood everywhere and i had to get 17 stitches on my face?

good thing i have bangs.

am i losing it if i…

Standard

accidentally and unintentionally purchase a car wash with my gas?
can’t figure out how to start the gas at a gas station i’d never been to?
can’t hear if the gas is pumping into my car or not, so i gently pull out the pump and thus spill gas all over myself?
was late to work?
spent 45 minutes grocery shopping at fareway only to get to the checkout line without a wallet?
get out to my car after apologizing profusely to the fareway employees, find my credit card sitting there and run back in to purchase said groceries?
after staring at two different gallons of milk in fridge for about a minute, i decide they are both skim and pick one, only to find out the next morning that the one i chose was whole milk?

all of the above happened in a very short period of time.

thankfully, i’m in ames right now, teaching geography to 7 year olds. even though i’m teaching from 8-5 and working a little from 5-8ish (that’s a 12 hour day), it still feels like a vacation. how sad is that?

yeah, i’m probably losing it. : )
