A Canadian in America...

so many updates.....

I realize that I haven't updated very regularly in awhile. So, here's a quicky....(or not so quicky. Apparently it's a long one instead).

Eric and I were up at 3:15 with a furry visitor squeaking very urgently in our bedroom wall. Not cool. Eventually our neighbour kicked/hit the wall/heating vent quite loudly and the thing either died of a heart attack or got scared so badly he managed to escape from whatever was trapping him, but we were still up half the night. Neither of us got a good rest.

I bought a scale on Friday. It's one of the ones that monitors body fat. I'm pissed at it because it's telling me I have 30-35% body fat. I don't buy it. It angers me, makes me feel like a fat-ass, and I don't like it. But I've been weighing myself everyday in hopes that I don't actually turn back into a fat ass.

We saw Mission Impossible 3 yesterday. Actually, not a bad movie afterall. I haven't seen the second one however.

I might have to have oral surgery to remove an impacted tooth. Maybe I should just get the guy to get out the wisdom teeth while he's at it. Might be worth my while, although I'm not sure that I've got anybody to take me to get the surgery done, as Eric is quite busy!!!

I also had a consultation with an orthodontist (I was seeing what he would recommend doing about that tooth that's stuck up in my gums) and he said, "It has to come out. You need braces". Well, that's practically what he said. And him and his assistant spent 10 minutes how I have to have braces (no if's, and's or but's about it) and how it would cost approximately $5000 and which payment plan would I like. Yeah, I don't want braces. If my insurance would pay for them, maybe. But they won't, so I don't want them!! Too much money for miniscule things. The only real problem is that if I lose my baby tooth on the bottom, there isn't enough space there to put a big tooth there. But I'll worry about that when it happens!!!!
On the plus side, I had a cleaning that day also, and the hygenist said I was her story of the day. I haven't had a cleaning in like, 15 years, and I had nothing. No tartar build up, no redness, nothing. Wow!!!! I was even impressed:)

Hmmmm, what else to up date on. Nothing much. I've been playing bassoon a lot in various groups. I've been working normal hours. I've been trying to go to the gym as often as possible, which, unfortunately is only about 2-3 times a week. Hence the scale and the worry about being a fat ass.

Other than that, everything else is the same. I'm tired and usually sick, Eric is busy, and those are our lives!!!! hope you are all doing well!!!
