Misled by my dreams.

Some, of you are under the impression that I am mostly normal, as well as mostly perfect. And I can understand why….that is the persona that I throw out there.

I hate to break any of those ideas, because they are mostly true. But if I were to be an honest person, which is not a fun person, those ideas are not true. Mostly fiction.  I am not really normal, but in my eyes…that’s just perfect. I haven’t met a normal person that I liked in like…um forever.

 Me, contemplating deep thoughts…like “what are we having for lunch today and does my butt look bigger today than yesterday?”

Two facts you might not know about me: I always sleep with at least ONE ear plugged and I love chewing sugar free gum during my waking hours.
If I am without a pack of gum, someone will die.

Those two little facts are this entire post.

The ear plugs are for plugging the sound other sleepers. I refer to the ear plugs as marriage savers.
Some nights I sleep with both ears plugged…it just depends on, well, you know,  how sensitive my hearing is on each particular night.

So, the other night I had a dream that I was craving gum so badly….it was like a addict going through meth withdrawals. {I learn this stuff from watching “Intervention”}

In my dream, I found the perfect piece of gum and I plopped it into my mouth. Oh, relief. Joy. Happiness. Pure bliss.

do you know where I am going with this?


Yeah, I pulled out a freakin’ ear plug and PUT IT INTO MY MOUTH!

Yes, I was in a deep sleep and YES, this woke me up immediately.

I said to myself: Ewwww…..ear wax!

How weird is that?
Good thing I don’t sleep with that can of mace anymore.

This is a lesson that I plan on learning from. I’ll remember to never have any of the following near me while I sleep:
laxatives, rat poison, hand grenades, raw eggs, oreos, broken glass, rocks, newborn babies….
Oh, wait, that list will be endless!

Wow, after reading this again, I will be quite embarrassed if I am the only one who has done this. Please tell me that YOU have also mistaken an ear plug for sugarless gum!

FYI: ear wax tastes just as bad as you might imagine. gag.

  9. I also sometimes sleep with earplugs, and I almost always lose one during the night. But I find it in the bed, not in my mouth. That must have been a nasty shock! (Not as nasty as sending a #@$%&* email to a Buddhist guru, though.)You are perfect just the way you are.

  11. I'm afraid I can't say that I've ever popped an ear plug into my mouth, but I bet you woke up quickly. Now I know why I like visiting your blog so much — I, too, love chewing sugar free gum during my waking hours.Have a great weekend.

  12. LOL No I have not done this, but this is a great reminder to go out and get myself a new pair of marriage savers. Hubby was \”asked\” to go sleep in the spare room last night:)

  13. No ear plugs for me. I don't even like my iPod ear pieces so I wear big headphones that look really dorky!I cannot chew gum because I can't help \”cracking\” and \”popping\” it.Perhaps a mouth guard might prevent you from sticking anything else in our mouth. Your dentist can make a custom one that fits your teeth perfectly.

  23. I literally laughed out loud reading this! You are hilarious. I love what you said about perfect people– what a perfect way to describe it. I am glad I am not perfect either, that is entirely too much trouble. 🙂 Gum rules!
