Root Canal Torture and Margaritas

5 Comments

Helga : Me, Mom and Dad are supposed to visit my grandma in South Dakota.
Arnold: Sounds like fun.
Helga: I’d rather have a root canal. -Hey Arnold!

This week has been incredibly dull and also painful! I had a root canal on Wednesday. It was pretty awful, but the endodontist I went to tried to make it as nice of an experience as one can have while be tortured while awake. He let me pick out a dvd, they set me up with headphones and I was able to watch a movie while they drilled away at my molar. I watched The Holiday, one of my favorites, and tried not to think about the fact that he was poking a giant needle into the roof of my mouth (shudder). More

The Weekend of Lockouts

Monica: Why are we standing here?
Rachel: We’re waiting for you to open the door, you’ve got the keys.
Monica: No I don’t.
Rachel: Yes you do. When we left, you said, “Got the keys.”
Monica: No I didn’t. I asked,  “Got the keyees?”
Rachel: No you didn’t you said, got the keyyys.
Chandler: Does anyone have the keys? -Friends

This past week I feel like my brain has been in a fog. I’m not a forgetful person. I’m a Virgo. I’m organized to a fault. So when I found myself without my keys twice in two days, I was flabbergasted that I could be so scatterbrained! The first time I wasn’t entirely to blame. We were headed up to Match’s parents’ house and we were in a hurry. Match had grabbed the keys so I locked the door as I left the house. Then we were both battling with Monkey who wouldn’t get into his carrier and thought running around and playing a game of chase was a much better idea. More

Match and the Polygraph

I think one of the greatest things about modern America is the computerization of medical records. As a volunteer sheriff I can look up anyone’s psychiatric records or surgical histories. Yeast infections… there are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we’re downriver from that old bread factory… -Dwight, The Office

I don’t think I’ve mentioned to you all yet, but Match has been going through the interviewing process to become a sheriff. I have to say, I think he’d be great at it. He wants to do some sort of public service, and I think he’d make a very good sheriff. The hours would be tough, but no worse than his current graveyard shift. And this would be a career not just a temporary job. So far he’s gone through a physical test, an interview, and yesterday, the polygraph. More

My Workout/Wedding Central Room

I’m supposed to attach a brackety thing to the side things, using a bunch of these little worm guys. I have no brackety thing, I see no whim guys whatsoever and… I cannot feel my legs. -Ross, Friends

I may have mentioned that Match and I have a spare bedroom at our duplex. It used to hold our love seat, and was supposed to be a reading room/crafts type room, but I never sat on the love seat in there. So we moved it out to the living room, and I got rid of the big table, and replaced with with a desk. A desk that after many hours of grueling labor, sore fingers, and the need for me to take joint pain relief after kneeling for so long, is finally put together. And I told Match that we’re never again buying a build it yourself desk. We’re using this one until we’re rich enough to get a real wood desk and it’s getting delivered! More
