And it's only Wednesday . . .

Yesterday was a disaster . . . seems like everything I touched spilled, everything I started failed, my mind was playing tricks on me . . . then things just got plain weird. The weirdos carrying on their conversations so loud at Las Palmas we couldn't ignore them and then the dude in the neighborhood videoing the ice cream truck (though the guy is freaky and needs to be reported . . . I guess I can see why.) Anyway, Dave and I both thought we had left planet Earth and entered some very strange galaxy . . . I don't know, it's hard to explain. But just weird!!

I'm happy to report today is so much better!!

~ Had a dentist appointment today. Had to finagle work and it, but it all "worked" out!

~ Had to figure out where to park and get to my appointment by 10 AM. (I don't do mornings, so I usually never schedule anything before noon unless it's an emergency. Not sure how this happened?!?!) But I did it . . . . and overcame one of my biggest fears . . . parking garages!! I hate 'em. YAY!! Thank God, He saved me a little spot by the opening where I could drive right through so I was parked facing out with lots of natural light shining in. You're laughing . . . but that was a huge stress for me this morning!! I really, really hate them!!

~ Had a great dentist appointment, like the new dentist: a girl!! Yay!! She spend 6 years in Nantucket. Yippee!! Note to self: don't wear perfume to dentist appointments. Edgaar (Mr. Dental Assistant Man) called me Perfect Teeth Vanilla Girl. "Vanilla, right?" he said. Oh dear!! Yep, I love me some Vanilla. And he's got a good sniffer!

~ Was overtaken by Southern hospitality (what is that anyway? I could start a whole 'nother blog on that!!) by the sweet, Auntie Jamima when I didn't have $2.50 in cash or check for parking in their lovely garage (and forgot to get my ticket validated). Thank the Lord she already ordered her lunch or she may not have let me out of there!! (She looks as if she wanted to eat me and she was comping away!) Such a sweetie!! Acted like she did me such a big favor by "letting me go free this time." But it wasn't like she did me a big thing. I just forgot to get my stupid ticket stamped! Hell-o!! Oh well! She couldn't make me mad. I was so happy the dentist liked my teeth . . . oh, it's a long story, but every dentist Dave and I go to they always love his teeth and how great he takes care of them and say I need to floss or something! When I'm the one that flosses everyday and brushes no less than twice a day . . . and we won't go into his dental ritual, but it's definitely lacking! . . . well, we'll see what they say 'bout his chops next month!!

~ I do have a small cavity. Which she said was kinda' not my fault. Still paying for the damage a $700 Jolly Rancher candy did to my tooth our first summer here. I guess what's happening is the crown that was put in, is so tight against the tooth in front of it, it's kinda' rotting the front tooth. Nasty . . . add it to my mouth of metal. That will be done on Monday, July 21st. Yipppppperrs!

~ Then if things couldn't get any better . . . (I know, I'm not hard to please, really!) Nashville Computer called me on my way home and said my computer's up and running . . . I wish it could run home . . . just kidding! Ha! Rick got it fixed and even cleaned it up a bit. Whoo hooo! He said it still runs kinda' slow. But I have a feeling that's the way it's always been. It will do! So I'm going to get my little idol tonight to resume my evening worship session. I can't wait to have it in my arms again!! :p
