Hey I went to the dentist and it wasn't that bad. I only have four cavities (really, I thought this number was going to be much higher) and my gingivitis is only mild to moderate. The new dentist says that most of the stuff the old dentist was trying to get me to agree to was unneccesarry and he is totally cool with working with my insurance to fix stuff over time. Yay!

good dentist!

hoorary for Suzi.

and now I have pictures to imagine that I'm sitting on a beach... thanks, vw!

Yes and I forgot to bring my insurance information but they were able to look it up by my empolyer and calculated what I'll owe for my next visit and it's a beautiful office overlooking a busy street in Manhattan Beach plus the dentist posts his underwater photography all over the place so there's always something interesting to look at. Anybody else need a new dentist near Los Angeles?

Did anybody else read too fast and get startled that Laga's dentist was posting underwear?

it's worse than that. All of the fish are stark naked!

Also, I notice you take pictures of your food too! People laughed at me for documenting what I ate while in Budapest.

Well, hell yes! I mean, I want to remember it!

In I am idiot news, I just dumped a glass of water all over the bed. Oops.

yup

hair dye - a reason to scrub the bathtub

debating what to do for dinner

it really shouldn't be diner ....right?

Aw, beth's got my underwear readin' back.

A diner sounds good for dinner to me.

Matter of fact, a girlfriend I've been trying to get together with for an age is using my "Woman on the Verge" day as an excuse to get her pain in the rear husband to watch the kids tonight so we can go out. ("She's really having a rough day, she needs me!") I told her I could cry over the phone if it would help her case. Maybe we should go grab a diner dinner.

Honey Bunches of Oats:

I was thinking about comfort/stress eating earlier. By the time I finally left for lunch, I felt like I could have cried from frustration. When I came back I felt much more leveled out. I know it wasn't blood sugar or caffeine lack. (Well, I guess it could have been my system craving protein...) But anyway, is stress/comfort eating really so bad if it actually does release stress/provide comfort. Is getting a sammich from Submarina so bad if it saves me from AD's? I think maybe comfort eating gets a bad rap. Hmmmmm.
