The eggs had a lot of "fence"


Bubba likes to eat the fence

I was just thinking......

I was just thinking I should go clean and organize my bathroom,

which led me to think that I need this. (click on personal care)

then I thought I might need these for my dining room table.

And while I am at it these strange little things make me happy.

Shrimp, walnuts, and honeydew.....

I have a culinary boner right now...... if you watch Top Chef, you will understand that.

So its getting really hot outside and the kids have outgrown their summer clothes so we darted up to Tri's today to buy them some. Our first stop though was Sonic, because I am incapable of going up there and NOT lugging around a Rt 44 Cherry Lime-ade all day. And I decided to try those little Mac and Cheese snacks. OMG! Have you tried these? They are great!! I was a little sketchy of them, I mean come on, deep fried Mac and Cheese? Wierd. But really, they are delish!!

Last time I was at Costco I spotted a bunch of clothes, so that is where we started. Swim suits, swim shorts, 4 cases of water, juice, lotion, sun block, etc, and dropped $140.00 there!! Spent another $80.00 at Target.

Tri's has a new P.F. Changs and it has become Dennis and I's favorite spot to eat dinner. We had a 3:30 reservation (because its so new, you NEED a reservation so you can get in) but we were so hungry at 2:00 we decided to see if we could get in. It was suprisingly dead and we got right in. This place has the greatest service of any restaurant. So anyway, since we love this place so much we want to try like everything on the menu. My friend told me about this great dish that is Shrimp with candied walnuts and honeydew melon. I thought it sounded wierd but I still wanted to try it. So we got the lettuce wraps as an appetizer, and those are the bomb! Then for entrees we got the orange peel beef, and the above mentioned shrimp dish. That shrimp dish was probably about the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. I never thought something like that could taste so good, and Dennis agrees, he absolutely loved it. And now, my friends, I have a culinary boner!! ..... and lots of leftovers. Eat at P.F. Changs people!!!!

Treadmill for Sale!

Dennis is going to kill me for doing this. But really. I know I have only had it for a few short months. But, its not what I thought it would be. I have no where to put it where I can get any privacy. When I was on it regularly, Dennis would sit there behind me on the computer. I would ask him to leave the room and leave me alone, and he couldnt understand why. Ugh, this thing is causing me visual stress. I hate clutter!!! I hate having to tip toe and scoot around an obstacle just to get to my side of the bed. I would like my bedroom to be more of a comfortable domain. I dont want it anymore. I just need accept that, put it up for sale, hope that someone buys it, and move on!!! Maybe someday when I live in a place with more room, I will get another one.

Biting the bullet

Well, the toothache is gone. For now anyways. I found a lovely dentist office that got me in today and helped me out. I got to try gas for the first time and OMG it was wonderful. I love the gas.

So here is the story, because I know you all want to read about my trip to the dentist. On Sunday I start to get this awful toothache, which isnt too uncommon, due to the fact that I have a broken tooth (#14 tooth to be exact). Usually I just brush and swish water around and the ache goes away. Then I thank my lucky stars that I have dodged a trip to the dentist. I hate the dentist. But this wasnt the case on Sunday, the ache didnt go away. Some Tylenol helped until the middle of the night when the ache woke me up. Took some Advil and Oragel and went back to bed. Monday I knew that a trip to the dentist was necessary so I started calling around. All of the dentists that I called were either out of town or not taking new patients. I finally found one that would get me in on Wednesday, so I took it. And that leads me to today. The ache was the worst last night and today. Kept me up all night, even after having to resort to my stash of Vicotin pills.

I had anxiety about the dentist all day. Almost to tears sometimes. Went to the dentist and from the minute the nurse lady took me back she made me feel very comfortable. I was still apprehensive but at least more comfortable about having it fixed. When she told me I needed a root canal I almost broke down. That was like my worst nightmare. I opted to get the "gas mask" even though my insurance doesnt pay for it. Bastards. I am sooo glad I did that. The gas made me feel, I dont know....awesome??? I was laughing and telling sarcastic jokes, I probably looked like a complete idiot. I was really excited that I couldnt even feel the injections at all!!! The type of root canal that I got was called a "pulp" and now I have a temporary filling which is like cement in my mouth and tastes like cloves. I have to go back in a month and get the full blown root canal and a crown. Yay me. Not looking forward to it, but right now my pain is gone. Everything is still a little numb, and I dont feel the best. I think I have a hangover from the gas.

So anyway, I kind of see this as a good step for me. I finally went to the dentist after, oh nine or ten years. *gasp*. And I plan on going back until my mouth is fixed. When its all done, I can eat food like a normal person. The hygenist is going to put me on a preventative maintenance program. I am already an avid brusher, but after this I just might become compulsive!!!

OMG this has been the most boring post ever.... my apologies.

I just wanted to add......

that I am IN MY BED right now!!!!



I look miserable, eh? I have a massive toothache, and I cannot get in to the dentist until Wednesday afternoon.

OMG, the Hills season finale is starting right now!! And they just annonced that there IS going to be yet another season!!! Yhay!! I am so happy.

and guess what????????

I am typing this from....... my new laptop!! Remember from the picture below. Well it arrived today, only took one week I was soooooo suprised!!!!

Anyway I really like it, and I get to steal the neighbors wireless internet. So I can lay in bed and talk to people, or do whatever I want.

Getting used to Windows Vista is really weird. And that is really all I have to say about it right now, other than its super cute!!
