GRINDS MY GEARS

Woke up on Sunday morning with a bad case of the stomach bug. Went to the doctor after Church, and got two little hiney shots and about $50 worth of meds. I'm not big on pills (or even doctors) so for me to get myself up out of bed and to the doctor was a big deal.

But I lived through the pain. Poor doctor had to clean up the mess I made in his bathroom, though. (too much??)

So I've spent the past 24 hours lying in bed... sleeping... chugging Gatorade and Sprite... channel surfing for a few hours.... and I even worked on some wedding stuff. (now, *there's* a committed bride.)

So, with this annoying sickness ruining my two week vacation in Mexico, I've come up with a small list of what really...

"Grinds My Gears"

1. I love brushing my teeth. Love it. The feeling of clean teeth has got to be on the top of my "most favorite things" list --- but that sound of the brush against my teeth???? Hate it. Loathe it. Can't stop thinking about it. Ugh.

2. iPhone Auto Correct. For my fellow iPhone users.... isn't it one of the worst love/hate relationships you've ever been in? I mean, how in the world does it think that the word "purpleberry" should actually be "Drake McGowen" (BTW, who even is Drake McGowen??)

3. The fact that I never, ever... EVER put in a USB correctly on the first try.

4. People who don't silence their phones when their having a text conversation. "Seriously, dude, Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida' was cool the first time it rang, but I'm going to take that phone and shove it in an unhappy place of yours if you do not turn the phone on silent."

5. Clocks not set the right time. I tend to over-round my time. For example, if the clock says "6:48" then in my mind it is 6:50. And if it is "6:50" in my mind, then really it is 7 o'clock. I just jumped time by 12 minutes. So when a clock is off by 5-10 minutes... my whole schedule is off, and my body goes crazy.
