Are you stressed?

"Are you stressed?" is the most asked question I have gotten recently. The wedding is in 9 days and except for the cleaning, bubbles, pamphlets, pew bows (thanks Becky Fletcher for helping on those), final fitting, table placements, name cards, e-mailing the DJ, e-mailing the photographer, and the cake table, WE ARE READY!!!
I don't feel stressed at all.... because like I've said before the small things don't matter. HOWEVER... my body disagrees! Last night after eating dinner with my parents, after making ceremony decisions with the Pastor, and picking out music with the organist, my gums got swollen. The last time this happened I was taking my last semester at WMU and had to prepare for numerous finals because I was taking 22 credits so I could graduate on time (well the date I picked). I thought that maybe it would go away.
I woke up this morning with extremely swollen gums... so swollen that when I called my dentist for the magic mouth wash.... I asked for it in a lisp. And she was WONDERFUL.... she called in the medicine and told me to use it sparingly because it will stain my tongue brown and can also stain my teeth. HELLO~ did she not hear that I needed the mouthwash to decrease my anxiety/stress... knowing my tongue and teeth can turn brown...well...that will help. So when I stick my tongue out at you and it's brown.... IT'S THE MEDICINE!!!!
