Karey, I had to laugh and laugh about the tastbud thing! I am sure that does hurt! One time I was using one of those dental picks on my teeth and got it stuck. When I finally pulled it out it went through the bottom of my tongue where it's attached to your mouth! It HURT!Best part of my day- Making it to work in time for a meeting, but when I got here the meeting was cancelled.
Worst part- TRAFFIC! Driving into DC is horrible! My commute is at least an hour and a half each way every day! One time it took my 7 hours to get home when an ice storm hit last year...
Weirdest part- Trying to figure out what I did last week. I had bronchitis, two ear infections and a cold and I felt like a zombie. Apparently I was, because I had conference calls at home and I don't remember half of what I said, but everyone keeps reminding me. I feel like I had a sneaky twin taking over my life last week while I was in a cold/coma! Now I'm back to normal, but I want this cough to go away!
Best part: Getting presents for my son
Worst: Trying to potty train (I tried reading a potty training book thinking that might help. What a laugh. I'm starting to think self help books are really self-distruction books)
Weirdest: I haven't had any yet....but I think it's really weird that the self-help potty training book suggests teaching your toddler adult potty terms. Not vulger terms just terms that a doctor would use.

And thanks to you and Marie Cullen for my injured tastebud. It is much improved, I must say.
Kitty: I have a very embarrassing story to tell you about potty training, but I don't dare tell it in public.
Best: Wrapping presents in a flurry of paper, tape, and ribbon, placing them oh-so-nicely in a Barnes & Noble box, then getting them sent off to my kids in Vermont with a fresh layer of snow all around. Listened to Johnny Mathis croon holiday songs on the radio.
Worst: Saying good-bye to my brother who is moving back to Brooklyn, NY.
Weirdest/Funniest: Driving my brother around on errands while his truck got repaired before his long trip. That part was fun. The worst part--or the most hilarious, actually--was making a turn on a rural road and sliding on the ice, up and over a curb, down a hill while we're both going, "Oh, no. Oh, no . . .no! No!" But never fear, my Subaru (and my brother's instructions while I inched along with white knuckles on the steering wheel) got us out.
Hi Karey your imagination is wonderful so far I like what I see. But to be perfectly honest I need to read the book in it's entire form to give it an honest rating. Thank you for letting me read it.

Best: Having the system crash at work, so I didn't have to do my job for a good twenty minutes and got paid for it.Worst: My cat suddenly jumping up on me after having gone to the litter box and me discovering that he put his paw in his own...stuff. (I took a shower right away!)
Weirdest/funniest: The guy who sits by me at work asking if my sister and I (who are 8 years apart) are twins.
Mod
Worst: I've got a crick in my neck from working on the manuscript--last minute fixes before the big day.
Weirdest: Realizing that Read & Rate It is just one week away.
Best: Finishing a few books!Worst: Realizing I have 40 math questions to work on over break.
Weirdest: Melting my CD player...
Mod
Worst: Wishing I could buy all the software I wanted to add to it.
Weirdest/Funnest: Having David Osmond's brother sell me the computer. I'll be posting photos soon! FYI: David got laryngitis during one of the competions. That's why he didn't get put through. But he's got a new single out.
Best: Getting my laptop! :DWorst: Taking two hours too hook it up.
Weirdest: I had totally forgot to plug it in to charge...
Mod
But it looks like you got it hooked up and running if you wrote that post. How long did you have to wait?
Two days. I totally had no idea how to get the internet to work... it was simple in end. And I can sit on the couch now! (Hallelujah)
Mod
Glad you're up and running!
Haha thanks! What will the new website be called?
Mod
That's what I tell myself now. I'm about to go to the park, and I have to wait for my brother...
Mod
Qui. Je desteste.... I don't know how to say waiting yet.
Mod
Yep! Oh my gosh, I got a 94 on a french test yesterday!!!
Mod
Merci, madame Karey!
Weirdest? When I was about 20 and home on leave from the Marine Corps, and I visited my mom's first grade classroom - the kids insisting that since the older people are the taller they are, I must be her husband.

Spring Break Best: Being with my 14 year-old son for a whole, uninterrupted week and being 30 feet away from Barak Obama who waved at us! (Oh, did I already say that?)
Worst: Having it end.
Weirdest: Being 3 inches away from Tin Tin the panda at the National Zoo. (He was on the other side of the plexi glass). I wanted to hug him.
Oh my gosh that is amazing!!!
Nice poem anyway.
