A lot.  I don\u2019t mean to do it.  I\u2019m not a funny person.  It\u2019s just that dumb stuff always happens to me, stuff that happens to nobody else.  Like today when I glued my coat and shirt to my stomach.  Who does that?<\/p>\n<p>I put on an old coat from the garage because the Computer Guy was still asleep (he\u2019s sick today)and I didn\u2019t want to wake him up by getting mine so I just grabbed his old coat and ran to the grocery store.  Something kept poking me, but I figured he had left something in his pocket and tried to ignore it until it stuck to me.  Horrors!  The poking thing was a glue mouse trap that was stuck to the inside of the coat and now my shirt and to me!  I zipped up and finished my errand and tried to pull it off in the car.  Have you ever messed with one of those sticky mouse trap things?  They\u2019re sticky..and stuff (I know, I have a wonderful gift for stating the obvious.  Sue me.) <\/p>\n<p>The more I pulled and moved and twisted, the more strings of glue got all over me and the car.  That\u2019s when I noticed that there were dead bugs in the glue.  There went my last shred of dignity.  I got my morning workout this morning fighting the strands of super stickiness that were now all over me.  When I got home, I went upstairs to pull off the shirt and the coat and hopefully avoid getting it in my hair.  That\u2019s when the Computer Guy looked at me in his old coat and said, \u201cOh, my coat.  Did you get the glue trap off of it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I love that man, and I hope God enjoyed this morning\u2019s antics.  I\u2019m glad to know that with all the bad stuff going on all over, he\u2019s got me to lighten things up.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think God likes me, by that I mean that I think I make Him laugh.
