Ah, memories... MiracleMan does a great dentist.

Okay, we so totally need to have a Little Shop of Horrors singalong. DUDE.

Stephanie, I want to fly down there and bitch slap the dentist.

Wants in this line! I breastfed both boys about forever. Brendon has soft cavity prone teeth and Bobby has hard as nails no problem teeth. It is genetics.

My mother is 86 and has all her teeth except one. She had ONE cavity back in the 20s and they pulled the tooth. She never had another cavity. Alas, I got dad's teeth.

DH#1 was the same way. He sometimes brushed, went to the dentist once a decade. Never had a cavity. Genetics.

I had bad teeth when young and really horrible teeth during puberty with excellent care, Stephanie (my uncle was a dentist so I had every flouride treatment and sealant available). So don't blame yourself. After surviving puberty I think I've only had one cavity in the past 20-25 years. Most of my work has been repairs to those 25 year old fillings.

Chatting with Sox on IM I was just reminded of the Christmas morning when my parents set up their gift of a jungle gym in the living room for us since it was snowing outside. Awesome.

is scalping considered a workplace no-no or just gently frowned upon these days? I could totally count coup on this jackhat right now. Instead, I am calmly saying "and you realize this new information/request will delay the launch, right? No? Well, it will."

That was four thousand years ago. But thanks!

Huh.

ION, I am laying flat on my back on the couch with my laptop. Back? Hurts like a bitch. Thank the gods for wireless internet.

gah. being in training at 8am when (a) im on west coast time and (b) have a cold? not fun. was seriously thinking of leaving at lunch, but am still here...stupid.

The assumption is that, like having a bottle during the night, if you nurse at night, the sweet milk remains in the mouth for long periods of time

I call bullshit on this - unless she's staying latched on all night, there's just no sense to the idea that the milk is staying in contact with her teeth longer at night than during the day.

The movie of Little Shop sealed my crush on Steve Martin. (And also Rick Moranis. [What? Shut up.])

My Safari updated itself, and, while all my bookmarks are working, unlike Emily's, now it seems to have a non-consensual spellcheck. I am NOT pleased.

I just skipped over a jillion messages, but they all seemed to be about people's Christmas traditions, so I don't think I missed anything important. If I did, please linky.

I did, obviously, get all packed, and then all moved, and now I am all exhausted.

And we will NEVER get unpacked. Right now, the house looks like one of those houses that gets featured on Oprah when she does a show on hoarders, where there's a teeny-tiny path from the front door to the dining room, and to the bedroom, etc.

It's overwhelming. I'm actually glad to be at work.

But, yes, waking up to The Boy curled up next to me (or, generally, DIAGONALLY across the bed) is an utter, utter joy.

And we will never get unpacked.

Steph, it has always taken us 18 months+ to get unpacked. Sometimes we move and stuff is still in the boxes from the previous movers.

I hate this. I feel like I should be doing something, cleaning or something, but the whole point of my staying home is to fix my back which means...no doing stuff.

Gah, I feel so stupid.
