Dear Reader,
I get myself into some bizarre situations, and yesterday was a doozey. I'd eaten a chicken salad sandwich right before I left for an appointment. Thank heavens I decided to do a vanity check in my rear view mirror, because there was a hunk of chicken salad stuck between my front teeth.
The light changed and I had to flow with the traffic, but my mind was on that chicken salad. It's not as if anyone could see it, but I knew it was there, and I'm the best person to drive myself crazy. And I did. I usually have floss in the glove compartment, but there wasn't any. I checked.
So--being the ingenious troubleshooter that I am--I started taking an inventory. What did I have close at hand that could flush out this piece of chicken salad?
A pearl, chandelier, pierced earring....now that would do the trick. And I just happened to be wearing a pair. I know it's not recommended, but I can drive and do other tasks--like putting on lipstick--so taking off one earring and sticking the end of it between my teeth was an easy assignment. The chicken salad problem was quickly remedied. But now I had a different problem. For the life of me, I couldn't get that earring out from between my teeth.
The traffic was getting heavier. I had to keep both hands on the wheel, and now I was driving down the road with an earring hanging between my front teeth.
I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything about it until I hit the next long red light. The best I could hope for was that the person in the car next to me would be a teenager--with their own piercings--who'd merely think I was starting a new trend.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

P.S. You could WIN a book..."Tell me a story," is still one of best reasons to write a book. And author Walt Larimore, M.D., told me one mighty fine story last week when I read his book, "Bryson City Tales."
Read the sample at: http://www.emailbookclub.com/alt/bryson1.htmlI have 15 copies of his book to give away. Read the sample, send me an email, tell me what you think--and you're automatically entered in the drawing. I'll pass your comments on to the author, too.
