I don't want to grade papers and do lesson plans tonight! It would be so much nicer to snuggle down and read a good book. Alas, grades are due by 3pm tomorrow and rehearsals today, and a stomach bug this past weekend, kept me from doing the work until now.

ION...The chocolate and pink peppercorn cupcakes sound wonderful.

Hmm. Not a fan of pepper (and I'd have to go find pink peppercorns), but now I'm wondering if you could make salted caramel cupcakes?

Maybe instead of "chocolate and pink peppercorn cupcakes", we have "chocolate and pink candy corn cupcakes"?

Health~ma to my poor Buffistas! Also audition and job~ma and lots of hugs for good measure.

I'm out of my cold house and am waiting to meet my new dentist. I is scared.

Also, girl~ma to meara and smiting to those who made me crave cupcakes.

I can give you all my dentist~ma. May your new dentist be just as cool as mine.

Thanks, I really hope so. I was spoiled rotten in CT with my family dentist who was really good and never tried to make me do anything unnecessary. I hate the new dentist heebie jeebies. The last dentist gave me fillings. Do. Not. Want.

I have GOT to find a dentist. It's becoming a necessity. I'm really hoping that the last dentist I tried is finally accepting my insurance. They said they hoped to soon. I hope six months is long enough. I'm starting to get concerned about the state of my teeth.

Wow. That felt important to share. But, really? Not.

I got our dental insurance cards and this reminds me that I need to make dental appointments. For me and the kids. But first I have to make doctors' appointments. I'm due for a full battery of womanly tests. Overdue, in fact.

I've been seeing a dentist twice a year for the last 7-ish years. That was after not seeing a dentist for I don't know, 10-15 years.

I think I'm at the point where some fillings I had when I was 10 will need to be redone....
