I had an episode last night, that had you witnessed it, you would have believed me to be in Junior High. Why does our silliness-censor blitz out sometimes? And you know when it does, it is always at the most inappropriate times.
We had a School Community Council meeting last night. I've sat on this now for almost 3 years, and have learned a lot from it. The parents and faculty that make up this group of people are fantastic and I consider them my friends. I've already emailed them a formal apology for being a complete dork last night.
After something like this, I always analyze it and try to figure out the WHY of my behavior. For this one, I have no idea. I wasn't freshly caffeinated; I had just come from our Young Women's Volleyball opening game; I had eaten something for dinner. I hadn't even been inhaling copious paint fumes from Dear Friend Micheale's bathroom painting project, because we didn't get that far yesterday. So those can't be good reasons.
Whatever filter in my mind keeps you from saying or doing dumb things, must be so dirty that there isn't any more filtering being done. Apparently I am not changing it every month, like you do your furnace filters. I wonder if I can still get replacements to fit? I feel my mental capacity shrinking most days, so maybe I can get a smaller size. That would be the only thing I can get in a smaller size. Figures, doesn't it?

Thank you, thank you for being human and needing a filter! I have been considering becoming a hermit this week because I too opened my mouth this week and stupid nonsense came out. I unfortunately hurt a friend. Order me a new filter if you find my size: Extra Dorky
What are the words of that old SNL skit....."YOU PUMP ME UP". I thouroughly enjoy you, your wit, and your humor....UNCENSORED. You made 1.5 hours of last night a nice break from life. Don't feel bad for making us laugh. As for all of us (me, you, Wendy) we all need to sit down to big 32ozer and vent. You know my motto..."if you don't have anything nice to say about somebody come sit by me"
Ok, you just can't leave me hanging....what'd ya say? Maybe you should email me rather than post it here, although I can't imagine it being THAT bad.
What filter? As you know my dear friend I did not come with one. The brain to mouth is a straight shot. Maybe karaoke isn't such a good idea. Glad you're my friend, the funny thing is you know 1/2 are thinkin the same thing. The other 1/2 just aren't paying attention. Keep it real, that's what I say--along with lots of other things that randomly pop into my mind!
Shauna, Shauna, Shauna......I love you.
