So I turned on GMA Monday morning expecting to see coverage of Gustav. But they weren't talking about Gustav. Nor were they talking about the appalling comments of Don Fowler or Michael Moore (who both stated that Gustav was proof of a living God that was on "their" side). Nope, for the first twelve minutes, it was all about Sarah Palin's ( Read more... )

Friday my wallet was stolen out of my purse while I was at work. The purse was in my office. In a drawer. A drawer that was shut behind my desk. Totally out of sight. I still think it is odd that someone would have the guts to come in to my office and start randomly opening drawers. It's almost like they knew exactly where to look, which is ( Read more... )

I am sure of this because BOTH the assistant and Orthodontic Overlord said so.  I spend a ridiculous amount of time cleaning my teeth in various manners with sundry instruments, and apparently, it's working!

I am almost giddy!

Me too. Basic outline: About a year ago, an EVP at old company left and started a new company (competitor). Since that time, some peeps from old ( Read more... )

Successfully chewed some pancakes last night, albeit gingerly.

So I'm not so terribly sore anymore. It only hurts to chew, which is progress! I am, however, very ready to eat some real, solid food. The kind you have to bite into.

I have braces. And they hurt. Is there much more to say? Oh! It DID take me 45 minutes just to brush and floss last night. That was fun.

Ok, so the teeth came out last Thursday. Now, I have never even had a cavity, so this was definitely unknown territory for me. I figured the shots would be uncomfortable and I'd be weirdly numb. I did not, however, realize that those shots would also make me shake uncontrollably. Seriously...the assistant was like...oh, that's normal, the ( Read more... )

Spacers are in! Teeth get pulled tomorrow! Braces in a week!

And so does her cheesecake. That she made for me....a REAL, home made, from scratch, bake it in the oven, cheesecake. All for me. Because she loves me.

Plus she has quills that she readily embeds deep into my enemies.

Who else has a sister like that?
