batskeetsMan, IM has been behaving like a punk all DAY today. It only just now decided to connect. THANKS SO MUCH. :p I also didn't get a change to bathe Gizmo last night. I might just have to wing it on my own this weekend. On the up side, I am wearing a new t-shirt, though, because these bad boys showed up in the mail yesterday. (The first two, anyway) Gotta love that. :D
I think I am developing some kind of oral fixation, because I snack quite a bit--basically, I have smaller meals with snackage in between--but now, if I'm not hungry for snackage, then I start wanting chewing gum. Orbit gum in "Citrusmint" is pretty good. Kind of like Orange Tic-Tacs, but in gum form. The Strawberry Trident that's packaged all Chiclet-style is pretty good, too, but only stupid Wal-Mart seems to sell that kind around here, and Wal-Mart sucks.
Of course, the problem begins with the fact that there is no sugarless gum in the history of the universe that does not require you to chew at least two pieces at once. I like a decent-sized wad. I want to know that there is actually something in my mouth!
The problem is compounded by the fact that the flavors of many of the things I like to eat don't exactly degrade well over time, flavor-wise. For instance, a crispy-fresh salad with tomato and goat cheese, topped with balsamic vinaigrette, is dee-licious while I'm eating it. An hour later, when the stale aftertaste is hanging in the back of my throat? Not so much. So, this makes me want to chew the gum several times a day, when I have it, so that I may freshen my palate.
The end result? I bought a package of Orbit Citrusmint last night, and I'm already over halfway through it. That is too much damned gum, y'all.
Fortunately, gum is cheap. Even the extra-yummy kind. But, still, it seems weird to be chewing that much gum.
In other news, I think I may seek out medical advice, because I've been sleepwalking, sleep-wushuing, and/or some other such thing, as of late. I wouldn't normally worry about it, but my nighttime wanderings have started to disrupt J's or Gizmo's sleep cycles, too, which makes them feel tired and poopy. Also, it would probably explain why *I'm* so prone to oversleeping, and why I wake up feeling bloody tired so often.
I seem to tell flaming lies in my sleep, too, which is weird. Like, I'll talk about eating a dozen donuts, when I haven't eaten even a single donut in months. WTF is with that?
Anyway, that's all.
