I want to just get a pretty cloth and hand it from a thin curtain rod, with pretty holders and finials. It's just a matter of finding the right cloth. And you know, le cash.

Thanks! I am very pleased with it.

bah. to round out the week, my temporary crown just fell out. grumble.

They gave you denture cream, right? Works like wonders until you can go back.

cvs down the street - after a round of google-fu. Just, really, this week is all about being over now. I'm done with it.

Your stairs look amazing sarameg

Lazy day is coming to a close. I gotta head into work in about an hour. Which means I gotta shower and get ready. And just as I'm fixin' to do that, MLB network starts rebroadcasting the Yankees/BoSox game. I'd much rather continue watching the game, than go into work. Humbug.

ION- I'm sick of the two major candidates for Governor. I think I'm voting Green Party.

Thanks. My dentist always sent me home with a sample tube. Nothing like carrying around denture glue in your bag to feel ancient and broken in your thirties! And the gap when it comes out is just unsettling and freaky.

When mine unpopped on a piece of string cheese, fergawdsake, dentist said if it felt too funny, she could have me visit her tech at home (since she couldn't travel as she's a single mom,) since it was a weekend. Luckily, was fine until monday. Never heard of dentists and techs who do housecalls of any sort and emergency off hours visits, now. Happy to have found one.

The nightstand looks fab, Erin! I hate matched nightstands anyway, and I'd be tempted to keep the stacked hatboxes even when drawered stands were affordable.

I wish I'd known about the adhesive.

My new dentist was somewhere between impressed and appalled at the state of my hard lexan night guard. There's not a surface on it that isn't multiply scored, it's chewed through in two places, and one end has been snapped off by my vicious nighttime teeth-grinding. He thinks I might need a new one.

We did have a come-to-Jesus about the fact that at my age I'm far more invested function than gorgeousity. My bite is funky, but it works and causes me no pain. Braces are a no, thanks.

Buffista Island should have its own cinema industry. I think we need to invent the technology to turn dream footage into movies. Or should they just go straight to dvd?

Heh. My dreams last night were R-rated. Whee! They were happy. Except for the part at the end where I was going to miss a flight because I'd been making out with the cute girl.

Daisy Jane, that sounds like a GREAT headboard!

Taylor Guitars made a pallet guitar to try to prove to folks that the quality of their guitars was just as much from their craft as from the expensive tonewoods.

Sara, I've never heard of housecalls from a dentist, either. Score!

I just reread Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It ended differently from the way I remember, as if the epilogue had magically rewritten itself.
