Oral Surgery and Too Much TV

Just a quickie from home today since I had the laser oral surgery today and I am attempting recovery so I can take my oral final in Spanish tonight. I’m kinda uncertain on how successful I will be. My mouth is pretty sore and I feel like I could hurl at any moment. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed tonight.

In the meantime, I have been overindulging in daytime TV. I am so sick of hearing about Miley Cyrus and the Vanity Fair photo shoot. Sorry, but I can’t imagine the parents not having an inkling as to what might be involved in the shoot. I bet it was just a bad call at trying to expand her audience and offers for films, TV, etc. Now Disney is playing the game of CYA.

A Weekend of Webkinz, Pizza & Wiis

As most moms know this last weekend was the Webkinz Extravaganza and of course we had to go to our local Webkinz retailer. My main goal was to get B clothes & bows but her goal was to score Webkinz and well she did. We left the store toting 3 new Webkinz and a super cute leopard print carrier. B now has a grand total of 9 webkinz. Wow! It looks like a webkinz invasion on her bed.

Then it was on to the tastiest part of the weekend. Let My People Eat….. Chametz. It was officially the end of Passover and at sundown we met the Jacobs family at Savastanos to for the BEST Chicago deep-dish pizza in the world! (or the best in my neck of the woods) -This pizza is cheese-a-riffic! It also adds a little junk to the trunk so I will be putting in some over-time on the treadmill to make up for it.

Sunday evening we hung out with the Zelkinds for more pizza (New York style this time). They just purchased 2 new Wiis and while C was fixing their computer B and I played games on the Wii. (C & Mr.Dr. Z came to play with us to break from the computer repairs.) Let me just say, I am hooked! I want one sooooo bad. I played the tennis, boxing & bowling games. Tennis was kinda fun and the boxing game will give you a major workout but for me the bowling was like game system crack. I totally rocked at it also. On my first game, I bowled 163!!! Can I get a woohoo?!?! Oh yeah, and I have to brag, C only bowled a 133 on his first game. So Score for team Kally!

Not Feeling Like a Ninja Today

Yeah, I know I am supposed to come up with something yet it is not happening. Today my brain feels like scrambled eggs & matzah = confused & gross. The reason.....Allergies!

Anyone who suffers from allergies gets me on this one. The pollen count here is so high that I am reduced to an all out mess in Kally form. This means absolutely no effort for make-up, hair-fixing or great attention to clothes. I am certain if a picture was taken of me that it would have that black strip across my eyes and land me right in the middle of the DON'T section of the last page of my favorite magazine.

*Left field thought of the day: I have been thinking about up coming summer weather and attire and wishing I had a tan. -Normally I am 1 of 2 shades: Linen White or Lobster Red.

Weekend Update/So Many Seders

It’s Monday and so far the Seder count is:

Me: 3
B: 4

Seder #1: A couple of weeks ago B & I went to the Women’s Seder at the Temple. This was freakin’ awesome because no boys/men were allowed! (Plus it was a dessert Seder. Yea, no gefilte fish!

Seder #2: Saturday Night -The Family Seder: Our family & many other families were invited by friends from temple to their family Seder. Approximately 50 people attended this Seder. (Glad I didn’t have to cook!) The food was more traditional but the setting was still pretty laid back. **This is when I started to get Seder Burn-Out.**
The family owns a couple of very hairy and shedding dogs that wandered around the room while the Seder was in progress. Of course, my allergies decided to flare up. I went bed with stuffy ears and nose. Gross. :(

Seder #3: The Temple’s Congregational Seder: Thank goodness I was able to help serve and clean up. –Really- it made everything seem to go along much faster. The food was good and the conversation was GREAT! Glad we got to sit with the Jacobs and Cook families. I jokingly told JJ I thought we were placed in the “loud section” because of the kids.
My allergies were still crazy because of some bug spray/ perfume that continuously wafted in my general direction.

Today I am barely making it through the day because of ye old allergies.

**Sooooooo….I have been to so MANY Seders that my pee still smells like grape juice! (I just can’t bring myself to drink 4 cups of Manischewitz.)

**B went to her school Seder Friday, which I was told was an hour and ½ long. Way too much for kids to bear! –Only my opinion.

It's Still Ninja Thursday (barely)

Almost forgot....What makes you a ninja this week?

me: I got $250 knocked off a procedure just for speaking my mind and expressing my expectations. Yea me!

Oral Surgery on the Horizon

Helpful Definitions

diastema - space between teeth (particularly between the top two front teeth)
frenum - a fold of tissue or muscle that connects the lips or tongue to the jawbone
frenectomy - the procedure done to remove one of these folds of tissue

I went to the Orthodontist today for a tune-up. I am now sporting a chain across my top teeth again.
-*Flashback*-
6 moths ago I told Ortho Doc that my regular dentist recommended I get a frenomectomy. Ortho Doc was reluctant to accept that my frenum was the cause of upper spacing. He felt it was due to: bite, tongue thrust, etc. Not The Frenum!

}}Fast Forward to Today
I am sitting in the chair having bite and tongue thrust tests done to determine the cause of the offending diastema when Ortho Doc quietly says to me.....I think it's the frenum.

What the @*/@*\ ?!?!
I kindly but firmly inform him DUH! After further consultation he decided to knock some of the $ off the cost of the procedure I will have done.
April 29th I will have a frenectomy along with the removal of excess tissue behind my teeth.

This will be done with LASERS! Gulp.
I admit I am slightly freaking about the whole laser thing. I promptly questioned Ortho Doc about his skills with a laser. I don't want to lose a lip or anything. Gulp gulp gulp.

Purim Penguin

I know it's a little late but here is a pic of B with her penguin mask she created.
