Dead like Susan

I am in the middle of sending out wedding invitations. And while my hands are stained with ink from my fountain pen my head is getting light and not even Pepsi can get the taste of envelope adhesive out of my mouth.



And I shouldn't be drinking Pepsi because I am on a no-soda thing, trying to cut down on the sugar. But water stopped working so I had to pull out the big gun and grab it from my fiancee's ever-present 12-pack-o-Pepsi in the fridge.



I am going to die from this adhesive. I will be dead like Susan.

    I always licked my finger then used my finger on the adhesive, I couldn't stand licking the envelope.

    Wet sponge... you kids and your crazy technology.



    I am resigned to adhesive poisoning.

    Groverat doesn't like licking adhesives. Doesn't want to drink Pepsi, but does to mask adhesive taste.



    Seems like there's a stone for both birds.



    Use Pepsi for envelopes.

    Do you own a dog or a small child?

    That's another reason why I'm just going to elope!

    Here's another reason we should've eloped. We're paying for everything!



    YAY!

    I doubt groverat has a sponge. They're not even married yet so what use would a sponge be?

    Maybe she's sponge-worthy?

    Masking tape would probably work. Just wrap it around the whole envelope, since in Texas that adhesive would probably melt in the mail truck.

    Duct Tape.

    For that "Do Not Open, Wuss" vibe.
