Beginning Badly

Reasons I am wary of 2016…

Not even one hour in (at 00:30), I get a sore throat and a cough. I am no longer fighting off a cold – I have succumbed. I so far have spent the entire year in my pajamas, by the vaporizer. My puppy (Ziva) is snuggled up to me wherever I sit or lay. She is comforting, and warm.

I reek of vapor rub and dog. My nose and upper lip are reddish-pink, and slick with intense moisturizing creme. God only knows what condition my hair is in. I have not looked into a mirror since I got sick. I have looked, when sick, before this, and I learned it is very BAD to know you could scar small children for life. Hell, I scare myself.

On the 4th I broke a tooth. I already had a dentist appointment to fix the tooth that broke last year. On the 6th, the chipped tooth turned out to be a crown that completely fell off. At my appointment, instead of prepping the broken tooth, my dentist decides to replace the old crown, and off I go with a temporary one for two weeks. The temp popped off last night. No kidding it was temporary! NeonTooth

So… Monday (tomorrow) I need to call and go in for a new and improved replacement temporary. I do not have time for this crap!  But I change things on my schedule anyway. The thought of dentures creeps me out.

It’s Sunday and I have a football dilemma. Two of the 49er’s nemesis’ are playing against each other in a Wild Card match-up. Who do I cheer for? Vikings or Seahawks? I don’t want to cheer for either team, however I think I hate the Seahawks more. The day is early, so I could always change my mind closer to game time. When your team is not playing, it really doesn’t matter. I don’t even have to watch, but I love football.  It’s a curse.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to see what happens next week.  Stay tuned…

New & Improved! Giggles & Bits

Giggles & Bits Thursdays will continue into the new year. However, Thursdays posts will no more be “Giggles & Bits” – In 2016, this column will be “G&B”, standing for “Giggles & Bits” of course, without all that annoying typing.

That being explained, I am trying something new next year:  Guest Posts!

This means, dear readers, I need YOUR help. I hate admitting this, but there are days when I just don’t feel funny. Sarcasm usually carries me through, but I am dealing with hormones and a cold, so I’m not even in the mood to hear funny stories, let alone pass them along.

My deepest apologies.

But wait!  There’s MORE!

Now YOU have a chance to be featured on Not Pretending (to be sane)! Share a funny story from your life, or let it all out in a rant (very therapeutic.) If a photo or poem gives you the giggles, please submit that  🙂  If you are shy – check the “remain anonymous” box and your identity will be kept private.

USAF Band Flashes

As in Flash Mob, silly!

[Either way, you know I would post it for you. ♥]

I don’t know where my Uncle John finds such cool stuff, but I wanted to share this with all my readers and Facebook fans.

I am never where this sort of thing happens. Has anyone actually witnessed a flash mob? This crowd could really be actors…
