Root Canal Day

I survived!

I didn't feel a thing!

I have no need for pain medication!

The cost:
$150.00 copayment
$175.00 consultation
---------------------
$325.00

Not too bad ... considering the REAL cost was $731.00

Dental Work

I just LOVE my new dentist.

My teeth are clean.
My gums have been treated.

I feel better smiling already ~

Tomorrow is Root Canal Day ~ and I am terrified.
But Doctor Jordan said that the person he
referred me to is great ~ wish me luck!

Dance War: Week 4

Goodbye Charity!!

Team Bruno - 5
Team Carrie Ann - 6

I was really surprised! I thought TB had better choreography
than TCA ~ regarding singing styles, TCA was great when it
came to CALL ME ~ ofcourse because Mariel can sing great!!

This week, here is where my votes are going:

TB - Song ONE - 2 calls
TB - Song TWO - 3 emails (loved the canes)

TCA - Song ONE - 3 calls (loved the stepping)
TCA - Song TWO - 2 emails

One More Month Until Mom's 75th Birthday

My mom is going to be 75 Years Old in a month!!

9 Children
16 Grandchildren
1 Great-Grand Child

I really wish I could give her the gift to travel
the world!

So here it is, I am asking the Universe, PLEASE LET ME WIN
THE LOTTERY JACKPOT, so I can give my mom this amazing gift!

Dance War: Week 3

Okay ~ so I mentioned that I kinda am leaning
toward Team Carrie Ann ~ mostly because I'm
soo impressed by Mariel .. BUT TEAM BRUNO HAD
THE BETTER PERFORMANCE IN MY BOOK!

Both of TB productions was great ~ outfits and
choreography was great ~ I felt bad that Chris
mic wasn't working ... but if still ... I wasn't
impressed. I liked their 2nd song "Call Me"
but still impressed more by "S.O.S" ~

So this is how I HAVE to vote this first time:

TEAM BRUNO - 4 CALLS / 4 EMAIL
TEAM C.A. - 1 CALL / 1 EMAIL

Okay, so I can call from my cell phone and have
about three email address, I just need to find
out how to vote for both teams.

Mail Day

I've decided that I'll go to my P.O. Box every Saturday ~
Today I've got 3 items:

1. Pottery Barn Catalog
2. State Farm Insurance (coverage summary)
3. Flyer for Sylvester Cruz

I guess I want to thank Mr. Cruz for giving up his P.O. Box
this month. I just hope that I don't get alot of his mail.

Also it takes about 25 minutes walking from the Post Office
to my apartment. I could do this on Saturdays, I'll take a
look at "The House" for a couple of minutes, then walk home.
It's much faster than waiting for the bus.

Dental Evaluation

I've been putting off going to the dentist for a whole year.

Yesterday, I finally had my annual checkup, this new dentist
said the same thing that the other two dentists told me:

"YOU NEED A ROOT CANAL" !!

This dentist, Dr. Jordan (Jordan is his first name), asked me
if I felt any pain ... and my usual answer ... nope, not at all.
His explanation of this was "this nerve is dead" ~

So I looked at my plan and find out that the Root Canal would cost
me $150 ~ not a problem ~ but because I need a dentist that
specializes in ENDODONTICS ~ he referred me to another dentist
with a $170 consultation fee !! Costing me $320 for the treatment!!

Anyways ... it'll be at the end of the month ... so hopefully,
considering my "dead nerve" ~ I'm hoping I won't be in too much
pain.

Dance War: Week 2

The Teams Have Been Chosen!

I think I'm rooting for Team Carrie Ann, just
because of Mariel and Bradley being in the
team. Here is how I rank them

1. Mariel
2. Bradley
3. Quis
4. Elizabeth
5. Chris
6. Alyssa

Team Bruno does seem to have really great
dancers though.

1. Zack
2. Lacey
3. Kelsey
4. Tony
5. Phil
6. Charity

I kinda feel bad for Max and Corina ~ I actually
wanted Max to be in a Team .. not impressed with
Tony as much. But I could be wrong.

Can't wait for the competition to begin next week.

One Month Until I'm 33

This will probably be a very uneventful birthday.

I have my "Things To Do In 2008" (if I won the lottery in 2007)
calendar ~ basically I was SUPPOSE to spend Valentines Day in
Paris ~ right after I've spent a week in New Orleans celebrating
Mardi Gras ~

But now...I'm just waiting for the day I win the lottery this
month, and spend all my time getting "The House" ready for my
house warming...WHICH I might as well have it on my birthday.

But, should it be another month that I have to wail, I don't
think my 33rd day will be a big celebration. I usually get the
day off work ... this year ... I'm working until the end of
February ... when I take a much needed two week vacation.

"Un" Golden Globes

This year, I'm kinda glad that it wasn't a huge ceremony.

AND RATATOUILLE

I've Got Mail

Today is the first day I went to my PO Box to check
what kind of mail I received. TWO CATALOGS!!

1. J CREW
2. Williams Sonoma

I also went to my "neighborhood" Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
and walked around. I walked back and forth just looking
at "The House" ~

Can't wait until next week!

33 in 33 days

I'm turning 33 in 33 days!

It seems like a "blah" age ~ nothing like turning
30 ~ I have this new short "TO DO" list that I hope to
accomplish in 33 days just to make it a more interesting
age.

1. Write everyday!! AND COMPLETE THE NOVEL!
2. Exercise all 33 days ~ and maybe get the toned arms I want
3. GET "THE HOUSE"

TAXES FILED

Once again, I did my own taxes ~ this year I filed EARLY!

I was kinda hoping to get a larger tax refund, but I opted
for the "Large Paycheck/Small Refund" option for payroll ~
versus the "Small Paycheck/Large Refund" ~

I'm just hoping that I get it soon ~ I need it for vacation
next month!!

P.O. BOX

I decided to FINALLY get a P.O. Box ~

I did this mainly because I have to renew my drivers
license, and wanted to change the address. I'm planning
on moving and didn't want this current apt. address on
my DL.

Anyways, the post office is right next to "THE HOUSE",
so maybe it's meant to be ... that I could walk right
over.
