Jimmy my love...

My heart just skipped a beat....I thought Jimmy had finally come to his senses. Damn solo tour!

Full Steam

I don't mean to post twice in one day but....I just recently started to get into David Gray's latest album Draw the Line. I have been lovin' "Full Steam" not knowing who the other singer was. I just looked it up and of course it's Annie Lennox. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Annie, I just have NO idea what she's doing in this video! Someone comments under it that she should have gone into acting because she's so expressive in her music. To me, she makes a mockery of this song! To me this song is about someone passing?? Maybe not, but that's what I got and I feel like her hokey antics in no way reflect David's emtions in the video or the lyrics themselves (besides tacky direct translations!).

Egg-tastic

I got these in an email forward for Easter from my friend Laura. I initially didn't open it (I'm not a fan of forwards), but decided to have a run through before I deleted it. I'm glad I did!! :)

Mental Dental

Dear lord I hate going to the dentist. I make myself do it though because I, unfortunately, have to. Getting the bad teeth gene in the family, I was always compulsively brushing my teeth only to find that I was the only one to have cavities after every visit! I've had so many drills in my mouth I can't even count them on 2 hands anymore. Not only that, my compulsive brushing led my soft teeth to then become even more sensitive! I had one dentist tell me, "I know you are only in your 20's but, honey, all your roots are showing!" I had to switch to a mechanical toothbrush for a while, but I still did not feel my teeth were clean enough. The only thing I'm blessed with are how close my teeth are together! Even though I have a quarky smile that I wrestle with on the daily (do I love it or hate it today?), the closeness doesn't allow plaque to build up! That helps since flossing comes in spirts for me. I guess the smart move would be to cut out sugars...not happening. So, I have to endure every year going to the dentist and them finding yet another little cavity. Yesterdays was really tiny and it didn't take long at all. I had so much anxiety built up to going! I was clutching my wrist and digging my nails in until I left marks! I hate the long needle. It's only painful for a few seconds, but boy do my eyes tear up! What DID make me feel better was a conversation I had with my dentist about his oral health...

Dentist: This is just a small cavity. Mine are big and deep!

ME: But you're a dentist; you're not supposed to have cavities.

Dentist: Are you kidding me? Why do you think I became a dentist? I was tortured as a kid.

This made me feel not so bad about the situation at hand. I relieved my stress by booking myself a hair cut last night! It's shorter than I would have liked, but it was nice to be pampered after a day of being a ball of nerves. I'm ready for the warm weather :)
