There they are!

I am happy to report that my face has returned to normal sensation. I am not happy to report that my jaw is aching from the shots. I guess I'll console myself with the knowledge that I am no longer drooling on myself and can successfully make the "ooooh" shape with my mouth again!

Where, oh where, have my lips gone?

I went to the dentist today for a filling and they pulled a fast one one me --- they did two fillings! I told them that novocaine has no effect on me, so I think they gave me elephant tranquilizer instead. Two little fillings and I can't feel my tongue, my throat, any part of my lips, my right cheek up to my eye or the little part of your ear that sticks out closest to my cheek. It's been two hours and absolutely no return of feeling. I'm beginning to fear I will be permanently numb and sound like a mentally disabled person for the rest of my life :(

Laundromat etiquette

I went to the laundromat on Sunday, instead of my usual weeknight trip, so it was crowded. When I got there, there were six full washers that were done. I waited for ten minutes and finally this woman came and took her stuff out. It turned out that only five were full. She had closed the lid on a sixth and put her laundry basket on top of it, instead of leaving the lid open, like you are supposed to. I was sitting studying for an exam during my wash and I could see this woman sitting outside in her car, talking on a cell phone. Five minutes before her five dryers were done, she took off. Five minutes! I waited and waited. I starting talking about the situation to a guy that was there shortly before me. Turns out the done washers had sat there for at least a half hour before I got there, so she really left them for 40 minutes or more. He emptied one of her dryers for his own use. I waited a total of 10 minutes after they were done and did the same, with the help of a kind girl who felt my pain. I dried my clothes and folded all of them and this woman STILL hadn't come back. We are talking about leaving her dried clothes in five dryers (about half the ones there) for over an HOUR on a busy weekend afternoon. I was so peeved, I left her a note saying: "Please respect your fellow patrons and not leave your laundry in the dryers for over an hour, especially since you are using so many of them at once on a busy weekend day. Thank you." In the interest of human decency, I left off the "dumbass!!!!" that I really, really wanted to stick on the end! She's lucky all we did is put her stuff in a cart. I could have thrown them all in the parking lot in the pouring rain......

Private affairs

I was driving to work the other day and some guy was walking down the street brushing his teeth! He had his toothbrush, of course, along with the tube of toothpaste and a cup of water for rinsing. Now I am all for multi-tasking and I run late in the morning just about every day, but there are some things that should be kept private. If he'd started brushing his tongue, I probably would have to run him over.

MIA Makeup

Oh, and my eye makeup has completely disappeared. Again. I don't know where it goes, but every day by lunchtime it's like I never put it on. Does it evaporate? Do microscopic beings lick it off? Does it absorb into my skin? And if so, is it slowly killing me through my eyeballs??? These are the questions I ponder instead of scheduling yet another meeting my boss will reschedule four times............

Good hair day gone bad

My hair was looking great this morning. I am talking top notch, A+ hair day, which doesn't happen very often. I just went to the bathroom and it looks like crap! The lift is all gone, the bangs are going wonky and it's just not working at all. That is so disappointing! Good hair days are rare and should last ALL day. And I have a presentation to do at a conference in an hour and a half. ***sigh***

Dog days

Thank goodness it's Friday! Tonight is the big debut of the coconuts, so that should be a blast. This is really fun: http://www.gone2thedogs.com/ I am an English cocker spaniel - fun and playful, but doesn't like teasing. Outgoing, sensitive and independent. That sounds about right! On to the weekend!
