Last night I couldn't even sleep. I kept waking up because I thought I might be grinding my teeth. I'm afraid I'll wake up looking like Cleatus the slack-jawed yokel. I think another reason I couldn't sleep well was because I knew I was going to the DMV today. Now THAT is the stuff of nightmares! Anyway, I went to the Social Security Office and had my last name changed to my married name. No line, it was perfect! Then I went to the DMV. There were only five cars in the lot. I knew something must've been wrong. I couldn't be THAT lucky. Turns out only the photo services section is open on Mondays. The side that does the actual paperwork is closed. Frick.

Tomorrow I'm going to get impressions done for my mouthguard, since the cheap-o one has been unbearable. I'm either going to choke on the thing or go without sleep for the rest of my life. One way or the other, I need a new solution. Luckily my insurance will pay for part of it. I know...friggin hallelujah!...It's a miracle!

Now my news commentary for the day:

I think this ultra-PC Christmas etiquette is crap! You can't call a Christmas tree a holiday tree! It's NOT a Hannukah tree or a Hindu tree or an Islamic tree...It's a Christ-mas tree! DUH! We wouldn't even have this holiday if it weren't for Christ. However, the Christians that are complaining over Bush's "holiday" card are one step from the looney bin. No president has time to send religious-specific holiday cards to each American household. And, in case you didn't know, not all Americans are Christian AND a lot of other religions have holidays around the same time. Get a grip people, he did put a verse from the Bible in the card.

Merry Christmas everybody!
