Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat ...

This morning I had to go get a filling. I haven't had one since I was a kid and it was in my baby teeth still! I've been really good with brushing and all that, but I somehow got one anyway. I was really nervous about going in because I remember the huge needle they used to get the Novocain in there. So I went in and luckily they have this gel stuff that numbs the gums first. So they numbed it and then put in the Novicain...I tell ya, that stuff is great! Didn't even feel the injection! I was actually super nervous, just waiting for it to go in and I waited and waited and waited and then he just putted it out of my mouth. Apparently it was all done! The rest of the procedure was pretty straight forward and I didn't have any issues. Now I just have a really numb mouth on one side. You should have seen me trying to get my chapstick on...oh man. Rich was laughing pretty hard so I'm sure it was pretty funny.

On to the Victory!!
I had so much time off this past month. It's been great just getting to relax and catch up on sleep and make all kinds of Christmas goodies! Speaking of which, I still have all the stuff for my Magic Cookie Squares that I never made...Looks like I'll be having some Christmas goodies in January!!
I've really loved having so much time off to just do the stuff I want to do and not all the stuff that I have to do like when I'm in school.

And the Defeat...
I start school again on Monday :( This weekend is my last weekend before school starts again. To make it much more bearable, we are going to go up and spend some time with Adam in Seattle!! We're pretty excited to go up there and spend some time with him. I hope we get to go do some fun things and go see some fun stuff. It's been a while since I've been in Seattle. I can't wait!

Well, I better get packing! Hope to update before school starts on Monday, but I don't think there will be any pictures (very sadly...). Our camera has decided to go kaput on us...most of the time. It gets this really weird looking pink streaks all over the screen and then all over the pictures when you try to take a picture. Maybe it will cooperate this weekend and we can remember our good time in pictures :)
