Quickie update on today...
1. This morning I had 2 fillings done at the dentist's
office. After not attending to my regular check-ups for an
*undisclosed* amount of time, one might say that two fillings isn't so
bad. But you don't understand. I have *nearly*
uncontrollable panic attacks in the dentist's chair. I had a
really terrible dentist when I was a kid, and ever since then I have a
slightly irrational fear of dental work. So, needless to say, two
fillings is a really big deal for me. All in all, things went as
best as could be expected. Lots of things in my mouth, novacaine
that mostly worked*, and a half-numb face when I was done. They
injected the novacaine shots at 10 am....I got feeling back in my face
at 3 pm. That was awesome. That's it....awesome. But
alas, it's over and I don't have to go back until next spring. My
one thought about the dentist is...how do people withought dental
insurance pay for dental appointments? They are frickin'
expensive!
2. My afternoon....starting at 12:30 pm was great fun!
(Still no feeling in the mouth, though.) Gina and I went to pick
out bride's maid's dresses! We went in, heart set on getting 2
piece job-ies. After trying on about a thousand of them....we
decided that they all suck. The cut of the separates dresses can
not possibly be flattering on anyone. The other problematic
venture of this outing was that the other bride's maid is 5'2" and
busty as can be. For those who are wondering...I'm about as
opposite of that as one could possibly be. However, after trying
on another thousand one-piece dresses...we found the perfect one!
I have no idea how we missed it on the rack the first time, but I sure
am glad Gina spotted it in the magazine! The color will be indigo...btw.

It's now 10:20 pm and I have *finally* finished grading my students
midterms (about 80 essay exams) and I have completed lesson plans for
class tomorrow....I think I may actually get to go home and
sleep. To make that sleep even more heavenly....it's about 38
degrees out tonight and I am totally sleeping with the windows cracked
open. Man, I LOVE FALL!
