i'm watching my brother in law and my husband play manly shoot-em-up games on ps2 right now, while using my sister's laptop and it's making me miss the use of my laptop so much it's breaking my heart a little bit. (maybe i should think of all those kids in africa who don't even HAVE laptops.)

this weekend was filled with all sorts of projects... curtains from ikea, printing up some wedding photos, a little bit of cleaning, washing the dog and sweating as much as... someone who lives in heat and humidity. how do people in the south manage this? I HATE THIS WEATHER. i am in the wrong climate entirely. i always complain during the really brutal winter too, however you can always put more clothing on in those temperatures. when it's this hot outside, there's really only so much you can take off and still run to the store.

root canal number 2 of 3 is this wednesday... and OF COURSE this crap has to happen before my insurance begins in september. that's how it works. just like a car knows when you've gotten your tax return that it's a good time to begin bleeding oil, your teeth know when you've got just six damn weeks to go for coverage.

the root canal is not so terrible -- i'm adequately numbed and my dentist is great. however it's when the shots wear off that i'm horribly miserable. damn these teeth of mine.

and they are EXPENSIVE. holy god, so expensive. and it's not something that i can put off, b/c the whole damn reason i need the root canals is because i put off dental work for so effing long.

the fault is mine, and mine alone. (and the coca-cola company for making their soda SO DAMN TASTY.)
