A very wise woman once told me to stop using the word "overwhelmed" and start calling it something else. . . "overchunked". . . to soften my body's reaction to the emotion. Anywho, I have been feeling rather *overchunked* lately and I am trying to catch my blog world up with my reality world.

June, ladies and germs, has been (and will more than likely continue to be) a VERY hot and busy month for us at Casa del McWojcik. Camping, hiking, working, haircuts, invisilign and lasik!

Enjoy your June and stay cool, Colorado!

Can you see them?? I'm wearing Invisilign (or something like it) for the next 3 1/2 months. It's pretty sweet - painful for the first week, but you totally forget about that by the time you're due to switch your trays and the pain is back again! Totally worth it, don't get me wrong, it's the nature of the beast! To celebrate Smiling Power Day, I'll be smiling at 100 people. Think you could do it?? Get out there and share that smile power!
