Okay...so I found a dentist that is both recommended AND (very important) on the insurance. This was harder than I thought it was going to be. My appointment is on Tuesday, which may seem like a far away time, but the tooth isn't causing any pain (besides my tongue rubbing up against its jaggedness) and it's not heat/cold sensitive. So, I'll deal.
It is what it is and I've warned them about my anxiety, which is actually better (I hope!) than when I last went to the dentist.
What, you ask, is the anxiety? Well, besides having heart pounding fear of actually going into the office and wanting to burst into tears just thinking about it (kinda like right now), the sound and smell (especially the smell!) are horrific. This dentist that I found has a tv for viewing and that will help. That's how I got through last time. ANYTHING to distract. Last night, I kept having dental nightmares. If my past is any indication, this will continue until after my appointment. How weird and bizarre if that. UGH.
Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes.

ARGH!
CURSES!!!!
I just cracked off a portion of one of my back teeth.
GRRRRRRRRRRR!
Anyone have a dentist they REALLY like? I have dental phobia, seriously, so I need someone who is very good and very qualified and is here in Metropolis (or thereabouts).
Can I just tell you what Super J said to me when I told him and showed him the jagged thing?
"I guess this means we're just getting older. It won't be the last thing to break."
ARGH!

Musings Running Through My Head
1. Cinnamon Life Cereal is quite delicious. It's been a while since I've had it, but I think I may have it again tomorrow. Alas, others in the house find it delectable, too, and it may be gone by then. But now I know...and I'm the shopper.
2. I'm right in the middle of writing this big ol' Valentine blog about Miss Q and guess what. She has started babbling. And she LOOKS like she's talking to you--she's got this great tongue action going on, like she's trying to form words. And she started, just yesterday, about an hour after I started my big ol looooong blog about how great she is. But I didn't want to wait till I finished writing it to announce this milestone. I wanted to share how funny she is, talking to us. Not making a lick of sense, but she doesn't care. She's talking. It is too sweet.
3. I walked this morning for 21 minutes, 43 seconds which made it a mile. I walk in mile in over 21 minutes. Oh well. Hey! At least I walked.
4. I think I'm over Facebook. I mean, I doubt very much that there are many people who need to know what I'm doing up to the minute and, while I do love to check in on people, I also read blogs and try to keep mine up to date because I am planning on getting it bound. I know it's not the very best way to keep a journal, of sorts, but it's WAY better than what I have for the past 3-4 years (NOTHING!). And Facebook is fun, but it's lots of effort without the possibility of permanency. I might take some of the ideas, though, and put them on the blog. I mean, I'd love to do 25 Random things about myself (though I need to be in the right frame of mind...if I'd done it yesterday, who KNOWS what randomness might have escaped the appropriately confined "DO NOT GO THERE" within myself) or the one about your spouse.
5. I love my kids. SO MUCH. But sometimes...wow. The whining is a heavy load to carry. I'm just saying.
6. Miss O is currently possessed by Discontent, Unhappiness and General Irritability. It is not an attractive possession and is being manifested by much whining (see #5).
7. Yeah, I've decided to NOT go with the Swiffer Wet Jet. I'll figure out something here with what I already have (imagine that). It's not like I mop my hardwoods very often anyway. So, I'll save the $20.00 and do it the ol fashioned way, if I have to.
8. I need to get some of those plastic cleaning gloves because my hands have had it with winter, water and cleaning chemicals.
9. Miss Q finally spit up on Super J. It's not funny, but it's about time. I'm normally the one she expels upon.
That being said, I have to go change the laundry.

Clearly...I am no Pioneer Woman
Wow. Just checked the ol' Giveaway, and a whopping ONE PERSON has responded (bless you, Allison...you have saved my fragile ego from complete obliteration).
I did one of those "respond to enter" contests for Pioneer Woman, and guess what? By the time I entered, she had like 19000 entries (one per person...can you imagine?). She even had a timed deadline which was hours away from when I entered my one little comment about my favorite dessert. Of course, she was giving away a couple Kitchen Aid blenders, so that's something I guess. There are some days I'm ready to give mine away, but since it's almost at Death's Door, it wouldn't be much of a prize.
But Really. Ohhhhhh, Gentle Reader. Are you that fearful of some homemade goodness from yours truly (and let's be honest, we all know that I'll probably be cooking something, so that takes some of the "what will she make for me?" out of the question, as I have no skills with sewing, knitting, crocheting, decoupage, reupholstering, canning, and a myriad of other things I am no good at)? Are you worried that you won't receive it within A YEARS TIME??? I promise you, I'll make good on it. I have a YEAR to do it, though sooner is better than later for everyone. That's a time frame that I feel pretty good about.
Or, perhaps, you don't want to be responsible for homemade goodies for five people who respond to your blog (or, sadly, may NOT respond).
*sniff* *sniff*
Not even my own sister????
(is anyone feeling the guilt yet? Cause all I wanted to do was spread the love).
I'll just try to reframe this in my mind of conversations...I'll imagine you all saying, "Geez!!! I was totally away from my computer ALL DAY! And while you may have seen me on Facebook.com, that wasn't really me. It was someone else. Really."
Hmmmmm.
Yes, I am starting to feel better all ready.
The things I do to get through the day.
ps. Just to save myself the utter embarrassment of this thing I've now committed to and whined about, I'm "closing" the contest tomorrow at noon, Central Time.

Homemade Giveaway!
Sweet!!!! How crazy fun does this sound? Yeppers...So crazy fun.
Some friends from my days in Columbia started it (thanks Laura and Bethany!), so in thier honor and because Laura did it on Valentine's day, I'm joining the boat because it's such a great way to spred the love. Besides, while it's a wild hair on my part (because ohsorarely do I do stuff like this), I love the timetable of it...this I can do. ANYWHOOOO! Copied and pasted shamelessly, here are the "rules":
"OK, so this is a little bit of a twist/combination of tag/pay it forward...here goes...
The first 5 people to respond and follow through on this post will get something homemade by me!
Here are the restrictions and limitations that protect me in the giveaway:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. I get to choose, you just get to receive!
2. What I create will be made just for you, one of a kind...unless it is cookies, they are made all the time and not so one of a kind, but they will be made just for you just the same.
3. It will be done this year... hopefully sooner rather than later.
4. The gift may or may not be edible, wearable or recyclable!
5. In order to be a winner, you must repost this on your blog.
The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me you did will receive one FABULOUS homemade gift by me!
After I choose the winners, you can send me your mailing address! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you receive it!"
Yay! :)
