With
the good comes the bad. Life is about balance, right? Well I had an
amazing time at my aunt's wedding this weekend. It was beautiful and fun
and low-key... It made me realize I don't want a church wedding. I
don't need one. If God and Love can be found anywhere, then I want to be
married in a place that means something to ME and to the relationship
I'm in. A church can't offer me that, I don't think. Okay, off the
soapbox now.
So
back to my blog. I get back from Kentucky and I don't feel 100%. Then,
on Tuesday I feel like I'm working on level 2 instead of the necessary
level 7. Tuesdays are "Ortho-days" and it's just me and one other
assistant working 5 chairs of patients for 3 hours. That may not mean a
lot to most people, but anyone in the dental field can appreciate how
difficult that is. So imagine running on 1 cylinder vs 4. It was rough. I
get home, go to bed...only to wake up Wednesday with NO VOICE! I felt
slightly better than I did Tuesday, but my throat felt like... Well
imagine if you will when a cat gets a hold of a toilet paper roll still
on the holder. Yeah that's what my throat felt like. Finally, after
lunch it started to feel better.
Go
to today. I had made it up to level 4, maybe. Voice was back, somewhat.
Then I go get a filling done. Apparently at nearly 27 years old, my
mouth's the same size as a 5 year old! lol It's no wonder I had to have
my wisdom teeth extracted: there's absolutely NO ROOM for any more
teeth! Which seems like an okay thing until your dentist slices your
cheek/gums because of how little room there is. So now I still have a
sore throat and a cut/bruised gum. Oh, and my phone has decided it does
what it wants. My best friend called me twice and instead of indicating I
had a voicemail, I accidentally found them.
To counteract the crudiness of the past four days I decided to make a list of all the blessings I have coming up.
- The
SuperBowl is in 2 days. I don't have a team in the game, but that just
means I can get to truly enjoy the game. It'll be just like when I
officiated: I'll watch the game and watch the officials. I am actually
looking forward to making the square bets and eating fun finger foods.
- My co-worker is having a baby shower on the 10th. It's her first baby and I can't wait to work on another baby basket! She's having a little girl and you know there's just so much fun stuff to make or buy or get for little girls!
- Oh and on the same day as the baby shower, the movie "The Vow" comes out. Hmmm Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. That's gonna be a great way to spend my evening! My sisters and I have a tradition: Every year, for each of our birthdays, we go to see a movie together. We've been doing this since I was 13. This year though, we're going to one of those CineBistros where you get gourmet food, reclining chairs, blankets, pillows... Ahhh I can feel the relaxation already!
- The day after, I get to go to a good friend's wedding. It'll be the third one in 4 weeks. That's a LOT of I Do's, but honestly, I can't be happier for each of them. To find true happiness and contentment, well I guess we could all use more examples of that. Even if they do come at us full steam in the middle of winter, when NO ONE is looking the best or in their best shape!! LOL
- The weekend after that, well that's when I get to go see my best friend and her three little girls. I can't believe how long it's been since I saw my friend. I can't wait to see how big the girls are; I've never even seen the baby who's almost 2 now.
- The weekend after that my stepbrothers and stepsister are coming into town for a few days. I don't think they have a "legit" reason, but they just want to make a trip and hang out. I didn't get to hang out with them too much when I was younger. Nowadays though, we get to hang out and party like big kids. There's none of the friction that comes with being younger and wanting to be the center of your parents' attention. It's a lot more fun when you can be friends with your siblings.
- Oh and I've started a countdown until Hunger Games the movie comes out. I've got the newest poster as the background on my phone. I've got Katniss on my computer. I've been watching the previews.... I can't believe it's only a few weeks away!
