Ummm.

No tooth repair until Wednesday... I slept like a crazy woman last night... that means I slept hard.

This is my peep entry. There were a lot of peeptuplets and the octopeep... I like the diapers.



Today I don't really have anything on the agenda. I have to work... it's payday (yay) and at some point I need to find a new phone as mine is dying.

Maybe today I won't eat my way through the day... maybe I'll say hi to Mr. Arms at the gym tonight... he cycles on Monday and Wednesday at 5:00. Too bad I have to work until 5. Boo Hoo! Maybe I'll manage to make it through the day without crying....

I'm just being dramatic here - I don't cry.

Snow again.

It snowed a lot yesterday afternoon and into the night. It's really slushy and wet, and I'm not looking forward to wading into it to get my car to the gym this morning.

Once everyone makes it into work today things should get back to normal.

I think I may have to break down and call the dentist this week. The tooth where I have the new crown has been hurting ever since I had it fixed. Hopefully I won't have to have a root canal. Maybe the crown just needs to be repositioned. I can cross my fingers... if they have to make a new crown maybe they'll let me keep the gold one I have on it now. I could put it on a chain and wear it around my neck.

I am going to give myself five more minutes and then I'm going to go get ready.

I'm not going to complain.

I am going to try to not complain about my face anymore. I'm not even sure if it's my jaw or a tooth... maybe I should call the dentist...

The good news today is that the season premiere of the office is on tonight. I'm pretty excited about that. Also Survivor premiers (which poses a conflict)...

I guess an email was sent out about me yesterday at work. It was asking for feedback on how I'm doing in the new position. A few people have told me that they wrote back saying that I was doing a good job. I like being swarmed with accolades. It helps reaffirm my positive self-work-image. If only the other self image would fall in line.

I think Mr. Arms has joined the witness relocation program and left forever... I'm sad. I got the news last night that my cycle instructor is giving up her Wednesday night classes because she's going to school. That's good for her, bad for me. I can still take the class (although it will be with someone else...).

Goals today.

Limit my fun-size candy bar intake.

work without messing anything up.

take a shower.

Find future soul-mate.

jaw/tooth transplant.

Dreams of cake and attorneys....

I had some crazy dreams last night. I was at work but it wasn't the office, it was church... and we were having a regular party along with a surprise party for one of the attorney's birthdays. Somehow I ended up with him sitting on my lap while I was naked (I was being used as a decoy to get him to a place where we could spring the cake on him). I managed to get out of the way before everyone could see me in my birthday suit (ha ha get it?)....

It was weird. Someone else in the dream was video taping everything... they caught the attorney and I talking and I got all freaked out because I didn't want people to think that there was anything going on between us (like I had something to feel guilty about)... It was just very strange. I need to get out more.

Yesterday afternoon I was feeling very anxious. I get that way sometimes... I think I need to start thinking about making some changes in my life when it comes to the artwork... loosely translated that means I need to start making.

Tonight I start watching Pirate the cat again.... I have to figure out the commute from Edmonds. I may just end up driving my car from there to my house so I can work out after work... there goes the bank account into the gas tank...

I am going to the dentist tomorrow morning to get the tooth checked.... maybe I'll be able to cut down from 16 Advil a day...

Hello bling!

It's now official. I have bling. My gold crown was (installed?) put in this morning.... I haven't been able to chew on the left side of my mouth for a while... I've missed being able to chew with wild abandon.

I went to the gym after the dentist... I'm trying to work off all those carbs I had the past few days. Vegetables? what are those?.. I've been feeling sort of blue lately... it will turn back around... it always does. I need to get out more - that would cheer me up.

Teeth - who needs them.

I am off to the dentist this morning to start getting my crown put on my tooth. For those of you who may have forgotten, it's the tooth that I had the root canal done on earlier this year - to the tune of $1,200 and some change.... It sucks not having dental insurance but what is a girl to do?

I also have an interview at a temp agency. It's a floor below where I used to work so I am going to have lunch with my friend Terry before hand (if I can chew...).

After the interview I thought I would wander around downtown and then I'm off to WW to work. I'm a bit freaked out (but not too much)... I don't like not knowing what's happening or where things are... I'm sure I'll find what I need and muddle through the meeting.

On the artistic front I started writing down ideas - some which I can't share yet, but I'm sure they will reveal themselves soon...
