Planting those Seeds of Happiness...Right in-between my Teeth!

Doing stupid things is second nature for me.  I get a kick out of some of the stupid stuff I do.

*******************

Maybe I have learned to laugh at myself because life is so darned funny.

******************

For example......bagels.  That sounds benign, doesn’t it?  Well, greed takes me places I shouldn’t go.  

******************

One of first times I ever had a bagel was with Daria Chesnut.  "Here," she said. "Put a little cream cheese on that.”  I was hooked.  I love bread anyway but bagels are just so, so chewy.  It’s like the ultimate carbohydrate for me.  

******************

I like poppy seeds on about anything.  Couple that with bagels and I’m in hog heaven.  Oink!

*****************

There’s a problem....poppy seeds nestle themselves by my teeth.  Look, I told you I floss.....I just sometimes miss one or two.  So, I try to resist.  BUT....

*****************

Have you ever had a Bruenger’s Poppy Seed Bagel?  They have poppy seeds on both sides of the bagel.  Fresh, heavenly, a taste treat.

*****************

I have learned not to eat a poppy seed bagel for breakfast and then go to a meeting.  I’ll feel one of those seeds and devil myself until it’s gone.  Or worse, I will eat one, go and look in the mirror to make sure I don’t have any in my teeth, and miss the one right in the front of my mouth.  

*****************

I got home from a big event one night.   I looked in the mirror as I brushed my teeth getting ready for bed.  Yep, I found at least ten seeds in my teeth from my morning bagel.

****************

My poppy flowers are coming up this spring.  I laugh every time I see them and think of my teeth.
