The Nerve of Some People...

...and I use the term people loosely.

DH & I have been busy at church lately with our Christmas drama; tonight was opening night. I thought things went extremely well...this was the upside to our evening.

In case I haven't mentioned it before, we live in the neighborhood across from Skelly Field @ Chapman Stadium (or whatever they're calling it now), which is always interesting on game days. Tonight was the Jenks v. Union 6A state championship. We got home from the play @ approximately 10 PM and what did we find, but some pickup truck parked in OUR driveway. I had to park in the driveway across the street from us (with their permission). She said she had problems earlier in the evening with a male from Jenks. When she asked him to move his van because he was blocking her driveway, he said "whatever, I don't have to do that," and tore the ticket off of his windshield. He, of course, was from Jenks. At least an hour later, someone finally came and moved their vehicle out of our driveway. I followed them as they pulled out of our driveway and the passenger rolled down her window and looked at me as if to say, "Can I help you?" I advised her that next time they may want to park in the street as they were parked in our private driveway without our permission and, upon our return, we were forced to park in a neighbor's driveway. She looked at me, without taking attention away from her cell phone, and said, "Sorry." The driver then continued backing out of the driveway as I reminded them again to not park in people's private driveways (I guess that's how things are done in Jenks - you can just pick a driveway of your choosing to park in). DH heard the commontion and came out of the house, raised his voice a bit, and advised them to go ahead and go back to Jenks. (Oops, forgot to mention they had a Jenks Trojans license plate on the front of the truck & that they appeared to be high school students?) The female driver yelled "shut up" and drove off like she owned the place.

To this day I will never understand why some people feel they are better than others simply because of where they live...

Week 2 (or so) Update

I think I'm finally getting used to having dentures. Most of the time I forget I have the uppers in, and I'm now able to wear the bottoms on a pretty consistent basis now. I'm now in the process of retraining my mouth how to eat. I have begun to eat some solid foods. We went to Furr's over the weekend and I had some fried fish and a bit of hamburger steak. I'm looking forward to the day when I can eat a cheeseburger and/or a steak. I keep telling myself I just had surgery two weeks ago and I need to pace myself.

Sorry I don't have any deep theological or political insights for you; if you're looking for those, check out DH's blog. The last I knew, he was writing a series on why to study and learn about the Reformation.
