I had a root canal today. Half of my face is still numb and Travis wouldn't stop laughing at how it looks when I drank from a straw. Haha! I can't wait to regain feeling in my face! The actual precedure wasn't bad, except for a woman in another room SCREAMING! The hygienist told that woman was a huge drama queen, and they weren't even working on her while she was screaming. Haha! Now that I'm home my teeth really hurt. Ugh. I hope it will be better soon. Now I will listen to my mother and go in for my regular cleanings.
While I'm stuck at home recuperating I thought I would fill one of these out:
currently:
reading: I'm still making it through the Game of Thrones series. I'm around 2300 pages in, with about 1200 to go! I still like it a lot! Next I want to read some more Neil Gaiman books. My "To Read stack is a little out of control, so no more new books, and no checking stuff out of the library until I make a dent!
watching: We are watching Orange is the New Black on Netflix. Have you seen it yet? It is fantastic! I wasn't so sure a Netflix original series would be worth watching but it totally is! We're also trying out the free trial of Amazon Prime and I've been watching old seasons of America's Next Top Model! Total guilty pleasure. Travis is NOT into it.
thinking about: We are going to try and spend as little money as possible for the next month. Well, other than going to the world's longest yard sale again. That means no nights at the movies and no eating out 4 time a week! It will be an experiment for sure.
anticipating: Our trip to California at the end of August! I just confirmed that Richard Simmons WILL be in town while we're there. So we are definitely be taking a class with him! Ah! That is at the top of my already exciting list of things to do while we're on the west coast.
listening too: Mostly podcasts, as usual. How Did This Get Made and Who Charted are still my favorites.
working on: cleaning out our front room. I keep saying I'm going to take pictures of it to share, but it's too embarrassing! It is full of boxes from when we moved, stuff from my parents house I haven't opened in 5+ years and tons of vintage finds. Travis has been making me go through boxes and throw lots of stuff away, so hopefully we'll have a useable room by the end of the summer!
loving: Our little nephew Ellis! Isn't this a sweet picture? Baby Ellis looks a lot like Travis did when he was a baby! They even have the same widow's peak. I can't wait to go visit him again.
Ill have to check out that Netflix show. I'm looking for something new
ReplyDeleteGirllllll. I still need one more root canal and I am the least excited about it. Everyone is so excited about Orange, I'll try to watch it this week! (I trust your recommendation! :)
ReplyDeleteYour poor face!!! :( Hope you heal up quickly. I am also doing the "spend very little" thing for August. Yay? Lol
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing. Root canal sounds horrid. I have never even heard of orange is the new black;. I'll have to check it out. get well soon.
ReplyDeleteOrange is the New Black is on my list of things to watch! I have found the Netflix original series to be really good, Hemlock Grove and House of Cards are also amazing series!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain!! The last root canal I had took 3 hours, not good!
ReplyDeleteDang, I hope today your teeth feel a bit better. Freaking dentist...I generally don't mind going but as I get older all they want to do is dig around in there and take my money. It's annoying!
ReplyDeleteGoing to the dentist totally sucks. Wow, that woman must have had SERIOUS fear of the dentist. She'd be a good candidate for sedation dentistry, bless her heart. I hope that your mouth is back to normal by now! :) I'm so glad that "Orange is the New Black" is good. I got the book in an airport last year when we went to Alaska and have completely been fighting to finish it and here it is a year later. Completely horrible book.
ReplyDeleteoh man, iv'e been there, fighting to finish a book! i was struggling through a series because i liked the first two, i was on six and hating it and then was like "oh wait, this is a HOBBY. if i hate this book i can just put it down!" haha!
DeleteOh my god Orange Is The New Black is so incredible! I think I finished it with in 3-4 days. I'm ready to re-watch it (I also dare say it's better than Weeds!). House of Cards was also incredible, I try to recommend that to everyone. I've been interested in GoT, we've watched all of the TV show and I'm curious as to how the books go vs the tv show. I heard that the 3rd season was pretty much nothing like the book (when is anything exactly like the book? I mean, in True Blood Lafayette is still alive but in the books apparently dies in the first one). But, my "To read stack" is a couple of feet high so I'll have to put that on the back burner. Phooey.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your post about the longest yard sale! I really enjoyed last years, and after showing my boyfriend we talked about doing it as well, but have obviously forgotten. Maybe next year!
Hope you feel better! (Hm, sorry this was so long too. Apparently I'm a comment novelist.)

oh man, i read the first true blood book (i'm a sucker for vampire books but it was just ok and i didn't keep reading) so when i watched the show i was so sad lafayette had to die. i was so happy when they changed htat, because he is my favorite!
