Good news, Bad news

Good news: I didn't need a crown.
Bad news: I haven't had a filling in about 25 years, and I'd forgotten how much it hurts.

Good news: I'll probably lose a couple of pounds because I really don't feel like eating.
Bad news: I can hardly open my mouth because my TMJ tends to flare up after holding my mouth open for an hour.

Good news: I've got lots of shows recorded that I can watch while I convalesce.
Bad news: I'm already sick of tv.

Good news: Asia is incredibly patient with me as I whine.
Bad news: The kids never understand that Mommy doesn't feel good.

Good news: My insurance paid for everything, including the second filling the dentist decided to do "Since I've got you in the chair..."
Bad news: The dentist decided to do a second filling.

Good news: I know I'll feel better in a couple of days.
Bad news: I'll probably gain back whatever weight I lose once I can eat again.

So there you have it.

My mouth really hurts.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Look at this!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.
