DREADFUL DENTAL DRAMA

I wasn’t going to write about this, but then I got outed by a friend in the comments.

Brief time line:

Crown came off molar

Palm Sunday- Tooth cracked-lengthwise.

Gets inflamed

Thursday- Dentist says tooth cannot be saved. Go to oral surgeon to get his opinion.

Good Friday- Oral surgery

Blur of pain, grossness, soft foods.

Wednesday- Solid food. Big mistake.

Thursday- Queasy, bruised and jaw feels fractured.

Tomorrow- Follow-up with surgeon.

So, Easter dinner was canceled at my house and baskets (which  I enjoy) did not get filled. It was all a bit depressing and I am looking forward to Mother’s Day and having my family around me again. I was very grateful that the surgeon was able to fit me in before the holiday weekend.

FOR A BIT OF THE AULD SOD

(No, not Himself. He’s already spoken for.)

then go here.

Brilliant idea!

HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY

My house will smell of an old tenement today-corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and turnips.

I cook it in beer.

Himself will love it.

Don’t forget to wear a bit of the green!

And if you go out tonight, find your nearest Irish pub.

Nothing says “St. Patrick’s Day” like green beer…

I CALL IT VALENTINE’S MONTH

Bebe

Happy Valentine’s Weekend!

Don’t take candy from strangers.

Even if you are all grown up and think you know better!
