Show Me Yo Teeth!

I hate the dentist.

I really do.

Having fingers and other metal-y utensils in my mouth isn`t my idea of fun.

[did the first part of that sentence sound pervy?]

for me, it feels like torture.

"i don`t wanna go!!"

I get that it`s only twice a year, but still.

ouch.

SO.

my mom & i had our 6 month appointment like two weeks ago.

all fine & dandy, no cavities (THANK GOD).

i proceeded to tell my dentist that in the morning when i wake up, my jaw really really hurts and i can only open my mouth not even halfway, and that i have to crack my jaw to actually get it to open.

aka I clench my teeth when i sleep.

and that`s my dentist noticed a little wear on the cusps of some of my teeth.

i guess i need a night guard.

but 300+ bucks for one?no way!

thank goodness my aunt`s husband has his own laboratory where he could possibly make the impressions & make me one.

i think.

i`d have to ask.

anyways, cleaning went well, so i got my little bag of toothpaste & new toothbrush and went on my merry way back home to get ready for work.

fast forward to like 5 days later : OUCH SH*T MY MOLAR!

i`ve never experienced a pain like i did that day.

i mean it hurt like a biotch to brush my teeth.even suck in air with my mouth!.

at first i thought my filling was peeling off (the old silver one, i`ve had that one for like 7 years) and i was like ohmigoodness!

so the next day i called the dentist i was like please can you see me i have intense pain, so they scheduled me for what would have been an appointment for yesterday.

okay, fine.

i had to call them again on thursday.

please please take me in today, there`s NO way i can make it `til monday with this pain.

so they took me in as an emergency appointment.

i was scared to death that i was going to end up getting a root canal (thanks a lot parentals for scaring the hell out of me!)

dentist looks at my tooth, goes through my file like how old is this friggin` filling?

7 years old, oh yeah.vintage, baby.

anyways, she puts me in for an x-ray and i`m sittin` in that chair, sweatin` bullets like ohhhh please please please tell me it won`t lead to a root canal!!!!

she inspects my tooth..oh it looks like you broke a teeny piece on the back of your molar.which is what caused the pain.

i look at her like oh my God you are a savior!

couple of minutes later, she sticks a needle in my gum/cheek to numb me up.

yes, that`s right, she was going to drill away my filling -- just to make sure nothing was under there -- then refill it & cover the part that I broke with the new filling.

i didn`t feel pain (thank youuuu numbing shot!)

but oh man the sound of that drill!OUCH.

the sound is probably more painful than the actual procedure.

so i`m all better now, even though i`m still scared to chew on that side of my mouth. (right side)

she thinks i either broke it eating something hard, or it might be the clenching i do at night.

hmm..

i never want to experience pain like that EVER again.

also, i plan on dying with all my natural teeth in tact.

just sayin`.

:)

Keeping Up..

Since i`m apparently NEVER on blogger, i keep missing out on all the posts of the blogs i follow.

i need to dedicate at least an hour to visit all the lovely bloggers i follow.
eventually.

PROCRASTINATOR.

It`s been SO freaking cold lately.
I`m obviously a warm weather person, because I want to cry almost every time I step outside.
That, or the wind is so windy it brings tears to my eyes.
i walk into my job and i look like rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
who also has very very rosy cheeks.
and looks like they`ve been crying for an hour.


i`m so dramatic.


i hope NYC isn`t as cold.or as windy.yeah right.
oh ya, i forgot to mention i`m going to the good ol` Big Manzana (Apple) on Friday..
just for Christmas weekend.
with the parental units.
it`ll probably be boring..we do the same thing every year..
go for three days, wander around visiting places we haven`t visited previously, take in like two musicals/shows.
same old, same old.


BUT i get to see one of my friends!who i haven`t seen in like..ever?
so i`m very excited for that. :)




i forgot to post about my dental adventures in the past two weeks.
i`m gonna start a new post on THAT.


kbye :)

nerd hair.

this is what i did to my hair today.
i was trying to copy a hairstyle i saw on a character on a tv show.
didn`t go so well, so i just made two buns on the sides of my head.

didn`t expect for me to turn out looking like Princess Leia from Star Wars.
i`m SURE i`m going to get a lot of comments today at work for this.
whatever.
i think i look cute.

LOL kidding.

this is what happens when it`s so cold outside that i can`t wear my hair in wet curls.
i have to pull it up so my head doesn`t freeze.
grrr.

:)

Puppy Boredom

alright.
so i may have mentioned previously that we now have two dogs.
& that our puppy is a monster.

red doberman pinscher named Brüno & he`s almost 11 months.
he looks..and runs like a horse.

& i think he`s convinced that he`s a lapdog :

he thinks he`s a lapdog.no matter how heavy he is.



what a coincidence that he tried to get on my lap right now as i typed that.
mind you, this dog is almost 90 pounds.yes, you read that right.NINETY.and not a year old yet!
this dog is a monster.
my mom says that the poor dog must feel so awkward in his body -- still a puppy but in almost an adult body..HA yeah right, mom.

it`s so funny when he gets bored because it`s the same actions all the time.
he paces back and forth, stares at you, at the floor, at our other dog, at the tv, paces back and forth...and back and forth.
you get the gist of it.



he also likes to watch tv.. (Addams Family Movie)

 ohh dogs.
they are one of a kind.
& i love them all.

:)

EPIC. Fail.

Hallo.
I`m an epic fail.
how is it possible that i`ve gone EIGHT days without blogging?
is my life that boring?
or can i not commit to one post a day? (at the very least?!)
this is nonsense.

What can i say?
I clearly have no motivation to post.
that, or i have an insanely boring life.
i`m gonna go with the latter.

Anyways. Just wanted to post this one before I post one that has a purpose/point.

:)

Oops.

I forgot I was planning on doing at least one blog post a day.
Sorry.

No new updates, really.
I`ve been training at Costco -- learning how to prepare & hand out the samples.
& whatnot.
No big deal. Except MOBS form around stations that have the good samples.
Like on Saturday, I was working with some pork tenderloins.
My goodness. People were like... "so when is it going to be ready?" "in about 10 minutes." "Okay. I`ll be back." "mmhm.i`m sure you will be."

Anyways. I like the people that work there. So many nice ones!
My favorite hands down has got to be Ms. Janet. No doubt. She is so funny and so sweet!
I love the way she says thermometer : "termometer." YES.

I`m also being very flirtatious with the males. (my age. obviously...& maybe a bit older...)
Like I give crap to those who work for Costco (the company who I work for isn`t Costco..but they work together.or whatever.) Since the demonstrators always give bigger sized samples to the employees & other demonstrators, I always give them crap like "oh you work for costco.you get NONE."& then 'ha ha' then I pile on the sample for them. `Cause that`s how we do. :) Point: since most of the costco employees who roll up for some samples are guys -- I flirt with them like that.....

So what was the point of this post?
Dunno. But hey. I`m a random one.
alllllllright.

sidenote : our dobie puppy is bothering me.sticking his head all up in my lap and on the keyboard.tsk tsk.its taken me far too long to finish this one post.what a cutie?

:)

Costco & Five Below.

`Ello bloggers & blogettes of the cyberworld.
[remind me to never type those words again.]

So far today has been..productive?
Got up early this morning & went to Costco to finish some job paperwork.
I`ll be working there on weekends as one of those demo people -- you know the ones who give out those delicious little food samples. Hooray...
Two hours is a ridiculous amount to get trained & take the certification quiz. Whatever. I`m now certified to give out food samples. (insert eye roll here)

Question. Does anyone actually wash their hands ALL the way up to their elbows?
I`ve worked with food before and I gotta say, I was not required to wash my freakin` forearms to touch salt. Or the wax paper. Or anything, for that matter. I get the "wash your hands!" part. I`m all for sanitation/hygiene. But forearms? Seriously? I mean if I`m kneading crucial dough for a 5 pound loaf of bread, then sure! But no. Nuh uh.

Okay I`m over THAT part.

Then I went to a little store called "5 Below."
Don`t know how many of y`all know what it is. Check it!.
But basically it`s a store that has a whole lot of random things & the prices range from 1-5 bucks.
It`s pretty cool; I love browsing & seeing what they have.
I got myself some Ravens things. & FINALLY found a case for my phone! After searching each store for a case, I stumbled upon one today! I`m so excited. My last case was..crap.
This seems a bit more durable. Methinks I took the only one they had.... Oh well.

Oh ya, almost forgot. Went to the library and grabbed 3 books to read. I really need to start reading more. I`ve strayed a bit.. I remember when I used to LOVE reading books. I should really go back to my bookworm ways.

Anyways, I`m starving. Gonna go grab something to eat. Then off to torture work!

December & World AIDS Day.

Is it really December already?
Why is time going so fast?
Or is it just me that feels this way...

Today is World AIDS day. (hence the red text) [Wear RED today in solidarity]
It`s very vital that if you are very sexually active that you get yourself tested constantly!
You never know what your sexual partner is hiding from you.
There`s no shame in getting tested! And of course it is ALWAYS safe & best to wear a condom.

I posted this on a discussion on 20sb. :

" I don`t know anyone with AIDS -- except maybe Magic Johnson.
But I don`t know him personally.

Maybe I`m wrong for saying this, but I think that I`m at a low risk for contracting HIV only because I`m not a person who goes around being sexually active with every male human. But I never know, a partner could have the disease, not tell me, and I could contract it. But that would be a rare scenario, seeing as I demand the usage of condoms.

I do consider this a big issue because so many people have died from it -- from being careless. I think this wouldn`t be a MAJOR crucial issue if people out there were smart and "wrap it before they tap it" and got tested regularly. There`s no shame in being safe, in my opinion. This illness isn`t just limited to one race or ethnicity or whatever, it`s a global illness. It happens everywhere, no matter what people think and/or say.

Oh and before I forget.
I think Magic Johnson has the cure for AIDS.
He`s just greedy & doesn`t want to share.
Just kidding :)

I hope more people spread awareness of this disease. "

You may or may not agree with me; but do tell me though, because I`d like to hear your opinions!
