But not as bad as Virginia.

Walked today. Soooo hot.

A great time!

Loos toof

So aside from being obsessed with my dentist, what else have I been doing? Well, nothing. We had a really big sale at work, so I've been very busy with that. Too busy, really. Which just emphasizes the fact that I need an assistant badly. I have someone who would like to do it, but we have to see if she'll be approved. And then we'll go from there. In truth, I haven't been doing my job as well as I should have, and it may be because I haven't had an asst. I guess I've just been trying to keep the chaos to a dull roar all by myself and not very successfully.
So because work has been so challenging lately, I feel really out of it mentally. I had 2 days off this week and did nothing!! NOTHING!!! Not that it's new for me, or I've never done that before (oh, I have), but it didn't help me at all when I got back to work. I still felt as mentally drained as ever. I felt completely out of it.
Today, I think I'll take advantage of the good weather and try to go downtown. Well, we'll see.

Meanwhile, my temporary crown is loose again. Oh joy!

Dental work makes flirting very difficult.

OMG!!! the dentist noticed my haircut today. He said it looks "nice." That's code for "I wanna have babies with you!" Meanwhile, my mouth feels like it made love with latex.

Tooth Maki

I'm exhausted from work, but I just thought you'd like to know that I was out last night for sushi after work and ...

THE TEMPORARY CROWN CAME OFF MY TOOTH!

which means ...

I'LL HAVE TO GO SEE THE DENTIST AGAIN!!!

I'm so excited.

Cracked tooth and head

Yeah ... so ... since I was looking for a reason to go back and see my future husband and dentist, Thursday night I bit down on a french fry and cracked my molar (lower right side-the very back one). A freaking french fry.
I called the next day and made an appt. I could have gotten in on Monday but I pushed it to Tuesday since I had the morning off and it wasn't giving me very much pain at that moment. Of course, I couldn't eat with it so I was chewing on the left side of my mouth, which is very disconcerting. It's not a balanced diet. Really. And the gum around the tooth steadily got infected, until last night at 1:30 am, I woke from the pain, had to take ibuprofen, and put frozen peas on my jaw with an ice cube inside my cheek.
Finally, this morning, I saw the dentist and the ultimate analysis, I may lose a tooth.

This is seriously bad news. I'm not old enough to lose teeth yet!!!

But when he's telling me this, that's not what I'm thinking. What I'm thinking is that I'm secretly elated that I have a reason to come back and see my dentist even MORE. The thought even crossed my mind to pop off the temporary crown every so often so I can come back and see him ALL the time.

Of course, I'm not gonna ... DO ... that. That's ... dangerous. I would ... NEVER ... do that.

never.

Fredericksburg 2009

In 2009, the gals and I went to exciting Fredericksburg, VA, to celebrate our birthdays - AFTER a life-changing trip to Ikea.  If only I'd gotten a picture of the gummy worms. 

Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee!

Another great moment today. Scored big laughs at a rally at work, despite other people's misgivings. And, in the spirit of laughing at other people, our laughs were bigger than their laughs.

And I wore a blond wig. How is that not a winner?

Love that dirty water!

Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but it has been very hard to get back into the swing of things with all the rain around here. And then when the weather gets nice, I have to work!!! That sucked.
I haven't yet made the video of my trip to San Diego, but I'm working on it.
Things are getting busy at work with the sale, just 1 week away.
And I have a busy social life too - tonight I went to a Red Sox game. Too much fun. I'm thinking I might be able to make a video out of that too.
Next week, trivia.
So Boston's pretty fun. I like it here.

Now I'm brown.

Back from San Diego and a little bit sunburned. It was awesome!!! Pics and video are coming, as soon as I put it all together. In the meantime, check out Kalp's husband's profile for pics of the "pachanga" and more. Ultra-cute!
