Special Remembrance
I just have to say that the loss of Michael Jackson has affected me tremendously today. I sincerely hope he is remembered for being an amazing entertainer. RIP MJ
OK enough is enough
Back in March, I posted a blog entry entitled "YAY for the Endodontist". I am retracting this statement unfortunely. It appears that my root canal has failed. Yep, you heard me right!
It failed.
My sister in law works at a dental office in Denton and I have been experiencing some dental pain for a few weeks now. I honestly kept it to myself and hoped it would dissipate. Since it has continued to be bothersome, Alan and I felt it was necessary to go to Chanda's work and have Dr. Fickey look at it.
He tapped on my teeth and used his little dental tools and he came to the conclusion that the root canal I had done in March is failing. Of course, I have already had the crown put into place on that tooth so this complicates matters even further.
His best advice to me was to either have Endodontic Associates retreat this tooth or get my money back and go to another endodontist to have it corrected properly. It will probably be like "pulling teeth" to get our money back. (That was a bad joke, huh?) But seriously I hope they will understand and help me because money is very hard to come by and dental work is terribly expensive. Plus, toothaches are the worst.
Please pray for me that my teeth problems will be a thing of the past, and hopefully this problem will be resolved quickly and painlessly.
In other news, my husband and I have really gotten excited about a new XBOX 360 game. It is LIVE and it's called 1 vs 100. It may sound dorky, but we have actually bonded over this game and we have enjoyed playing it together very much.
Oh, and this is very random, but do you remember when you were a little kid and the ice cream man would come down your street? You could hear the jingle music on that truck a street over and you got so excited? Remember?
Well, the ice cream man (actually it was a nice lady) came through my neighborhood yesterday and I bought myself a treat. For some reason it is so different getting that yummy confection off of that truck than it is getting it in a box in the supermarket. I got myself a Screwball. If you can't recall, that's cherry flavored ice cream in a cup with a gumball at the bottom. SO GOOD! The treats on the ice cream truck are not as cheap as they used to be though. I can remember only needing a quarter or two to buy something, but now you need a couple of dollars or more. It was a good memory for me. It's the simple things in life that make us happy sometimes, right?

I got zapped
Ugh! I got zapped with a lovely summer cold. I have the chills, a nasty cough, sniffles and runny nose, sneezing, congestion... the works. It is awful. If I can't knock this crud out in the next day or so, then I will be forced to go to the doc.
My husband is so sweet. He said, "My wife is sick and there's nothing I can do to help her." He really means it too. He did make me some lunch and told me he would check on me later when he gets a chance at work.
I shouldn't even be at the computer right now, I should be in bed, but I had to check a few things on ebay and I wanted to vote for my favorites on I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of Here. That show really surprised me. At first, I thought it would be kind of stupid, but I actually really like it and the celebrity contestants have really grown on me. I hope Lou Diamond Phillips or John Salley wins. I also like Torrie Wilson.
I will make this a short post because I need to get myself back in the bed. I really hope this sickness works it's way out of my body fast. Yuck.

The Simple Woman's Daybook
I am starting to morph into the happy little homemaker since Alan and I got married in February. I am LOVING being a wife! I was just introduced to The Simple Woman's Daybook and I want to share some thoughts with you.
Outside my window ~ What seems to be another sweltering day in June in Texas. Whew!
I am thinking ~ How lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband. He takes care of me and I take care of him. We are very blessed. Incidentally, I am also thinking I need to hurry up and get in the shower because my sister in law will be here any minute. We are going to the mall to buy Krisha a lingerie gift for her bachelorette party. Even though I am not going to the party, I still wanted to get her a gift.
From the learning room ~ I have just began doing some bible studies on my own and I am kicking myself for not having started this sooner.
From the kitchen ~ I just made homemade quesadillas (chicken). I just love it when Alan sits down to eat and I hear Mmmmm.
I am wearing ~ Pink tank top and capri jeans, barefoot
I am reading ~ Besides the bible, I am reading James Patterson "Pop Goes the Weasel" and about to start Tori Spelling's "Mommywood".
I am hoping ~ I can finish cleaning this house by this weekend. I am still clearing out boxes and books that we need to either take to goodwill or ebay. One room at a time right?
I am creating ~ New recipes for Alan to try, so far so good. :)
I am praying ~ For a family member in crisis and for my father who is undergoing a back procedure today.
Around the house ~ Almost got everything in it's place after all the wedding gifts. Still have some loose ends but for the most part, we are looking good over here.
One of my favorite things ~ Our new blender, it is so great! I have been making some great concoctions with our new little blender. It's one of those really nice ones with the multi blades. It's great for crushing ice, too.
A few plans for the rest of the week ~ More cleaning, going to Walgreens to print some wedding photos for family members who are upset that we haven't distributed any wedding photos yet. We know it's already been 4 months people, we apologize. Also, I have a date with my husband to go to Olive Garden on Saturday and then Sunday, we are going to Arlington to see my Dad on Father's Day.
I am looking forward to ~ Seeing my Dad. I haven't seen him since the wedding. I am also looking forward to continuing this daybook!
Have a wonderful day!
