So I hadn't gone to the dentist in over a year. I have inherited my dad's bad teeth. My mom has perfect teeth and she's 72 years old. I hate going to the dentist. I have been traumatized because when i was 11, a big girl was chasing me in the school yard and I tripped while trying to lose her and going around a tree. I tripped on a tree root ( Read more... )

I've made this commute from Austin to SA for almost 14 years now and I just my first speeding ticket in Selma. The notorious speed trap town of Selma! Arg!

Thankfully I have tomorrow off to

Last night my boss wrote me this odd email. She saw I had put some papers in our new Chairman's mailbox. At first I was upset, hey why is she snooping? The new Chair is going to be really good, I think. He's a very nice, sort of hippy dude and he wants to be pretty involved. The last chair was really hands-off. I think it will be good that he ( Read more... )
