An Update from the A Train

I, Andy, realize that it has been too long since I blogged last, so I'm attempting to repent and come out from obscurity.

First of all, I thought I'd explain the new name of our blog: "Cinderella and the A Train." Melissa and I found a new artist that we really like. His name is Joe Purdy, and one of his songs is used in a car commercial (I can't remember which one). Well, one of his songs is titled "Cinderella and the A Train," and I thought that was a catchy and unique name for our blog, since my older brother has nicknamed me "A Train" and Melissa's job is to clean the house and cook all the food--haha, just kidding. It's because she's absolutely beautiful and I can't think of anyone more fit to be named after a princess. So there you have it!


As you can tell from Melissa's previous entries, I
have been to the doctor/oral surgeon a couple times in the recent past. The first time was because my neck was swelling up on one side, which was causing a lot of pain. We waited FORever at the hospital for the doctor to tell us that he didn't really know what was wrong, BUT that he was going to give me a prescription drug called Lorazepam, which is a potent little narcotic. I even had to sign a statement that I wouldn't give it away or sell it or anything. After we got home and I was about to take some of it, Melissa got really scared and decided to look it up on the internet to get more information. We found out that it is originally intended for people with severe anxiety, and that it had some side effects, one of which was "could change sexual interests." Melissa interpreted that to be, "could change sexual orientation," which would, naturally, scare her. So when I talked about taking one, she panicked and exclaimed, "You'll turn in to a gay man!" Ha ha. I got a pretty good laugh out of it. And for those of you that are wondering, I didn't take any of it, and my orientation is certainly unchanged and right on track.
