Things That I Keep Meaning to Blog About...

...but I've been too lazy busy to do so. I'll get to it eventually:

1. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne - review
2. Rufus Wainwright's new album
3. Sweet cherries
4. More dental woes
5. Preparing for a yard sale
6. Shoot "The Good Guy" Trailer contest - winner chosen!
7. The Good Guy by Dean Koontz - review (pending pub date)
8. National Bingo Night

So this list serves two purposes I suppose. 1) To let you know, dear reader, that I have been meaning to post several times over the past couple weeks, and 2) to refresh my memory as to what the heck I wanted to write about because for some reason I'm having a hard time with my short term memory lately. I feel like I've aged immensely in the past year, and my brain is showing it I think.

'Til next time then...and at least then I'll know exactly what to post about. Gotta love the good old ordered list!

Cavity Central

Yesterday, I went to the dentist to have a cavity filled. This was an anxiety-ridden trip for me because I haven't had a cavity in at least ten years. I'm not kidding! I had a pretty good run with great teeth for a while there.

But now, as she took an xray to check out the progress the cavity had made before she filled it, she discovered two more cavities. ARGH! Two of them are in the tough spot - right in between your teeth.

I really don't get why I'm having these dental problems all of a sudden now. It's frustrating because my reign as the "No Cavities" Queen has ended. And I'm sad because I had completely forgotten how much novocaine sucks.

She gave me a pretty good shot I guess, because I was still a bit numb 6 hours later. Of course that didn't stop me from enjoying dinner out at my favourite cajun seafood joint with friends though. At least this time I had an excuse for spilling my food and diet coke. "No, really, I'm numb on that side!"

Reminds me of that old Bill Cosby bit that he did about going to the dentist. Anyone remember that? Oh-buh Kay-bee. :-D
