Abby and Alice in the Box...

Don't you just love it when you buy kids a nice toy and all they want to do is play in the box? Our neighbors bought a gift for their kids and when Abby went over for a visit, she and Alice had a great time playing in the box. They had one fantastic tea party in that box.

Gearing Up......

I'm gearing up for our fiscal year end at work. I work with my peers, consolidate revenue and expenses for our EVP on a daily basis (including weekends). This all starts a week from Friday and lasts about 3 weeks. I'm gearing up for the long days and the fire-drills and the phone calls and chasing down information. I'm already tired, so I think I need a couple days of just sleeping to store up for the upcoming craziness (I'm taking this Thursday and Friday off).

After the craziness is over, I'm going to tackle a very large stack of freshly washed fabric. I want to make things. My creative outlet for my very numbers intensive job. I want to make another dress of for Abby (she loves dresses, but is so active she trips over them frequently), a couple tops for her, I want to make some aprons after being inspired by my blog/facebook/high school friend April, and I want to make some baby items for a family members August birth of their first child. The fabric stack will wait until mid June and then I am going to town on it...

What does flossing your teeth get you? Another visit to the dentist...

I hate going to the dentist, but I love my dentist. She and her staff understand me, I don't have to explain my behavior in the chair and they make getting any work done relatively easy. I travel 25 miles to my dentist, though I bet there are plenty of competent ones closer to home/work. My theory is, why fix what isn't broken.

I went to my dentist a couple hours ago. This morning I did a really good brushing followed by a really good flossing (which I don't do as often as I should). My really good flossing resulted in part of a filling coming out. I didn't think I was flossing that thoroughly.

So I have to go back to the dentist, ugh. Thankfully I know I'll be well taken care of. The big decision I've been given is to redo the filling or get a crown. A crown, really? I'm not looking forward to either, yikes!
