Whoops. It's update time.

I haven't been very good at this whole blog thing, have I?

Since going to the dentist for the xrays I have been back 3 times for one root canal and have to go back for a 4th time to finish it up. Ridiculous, yes, but at least I am finally getting the work done that I should have had done years ago. I am playing catch up and it is not fun but once I get my mouth back on track I will NOT let this happen again. Lesson learned. However, besides being annoying to have to go to the dentist so often it has not been a horrible experience. I really haven't been in pain after any of the procedures (besides for a few hours after getting the temporary crown on) even though they said I would be after each of the procedures. I take Valium before I go because otherwise I get all squirmy and twitchy in the chair. I don't think it's because I'm SCARED of the dentist; I honestly don't mind going to the dentist...pain-wise anyway. I have a really high pain tolerance IMO and have never minded shots, etc. I think it's more of an anxiety thing that started in college...probably due to stress. In college I would always have to sit in the back of the room with no one behind me otherwise I would also get all weird and twitchy. I am also like that sometimes when I get my hair cut or if someone does my make up...maybe I have some weird personal bubble issues. It's gotta be something buried deep then because I don't think to myself "Oh my gosh!!! Get away from me!!!" when people are close to me/my face.

ANYWAY...enough ramblings about my insane-ness.

Ooo, I just remembered I still have to do a post about our trip to South Dakota. Still gonna work on that...

July 14th - Nathan, Noah and I went to tour the Pabst Mansion because I had bought a Groupon a while back for a buy one get one free admissions and it was expiring (the day we went actually....oops!) We only made it half way through the house though, and then had to sneak out because Noah was getting cranky and needed his milk and food/drinks are not allowed in the mansion so we went to the Broken Yoke instead which is yummy. Yay huge run on sentence!

July 22 - We finally got our zoo trip in with Ruth (one of Nathan's classmates) before she moved away from us to Washington. :( It was really great getting to know her and I'm going to miss her. Hopefully we can make it out to Washington for her wedding next year!! Beauty of Facebook = we can keep in touch!
