There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Thirteen Bits of Trivia About Me
Snagged this from Megan and I'm following her format of things to mention. ;) 1. I am about 5'5 1/2" tall but I always say I'm 5'6" because I figure in shoes I am. 2. I weigh around 115lbs. I've been basically this weight for about ten years now. Before then, I was less. I didn't get over a hundred until I was around 16. 3. I wear Jr sizes normally since Misses are always cut WAY too wide. But I can wear a Jr's 3 or 5 or a Misses 2, 4, or 6 depending on cut, brand and item. 4. My shoe size is 6 1/2. I love it because I can almost always try on the display shoe. 5. My hair is a natural medium-to-dark brown with lighter brown highlights and it desperately needs to be cut. (I tend to get it cut about once a year much to my aggravation. I always want to get it trimmed far more then that but I never have the cash.) 6. My eyes aren't any one color. They are sometimes blue, blue-grey, grey, green, or a blue-green/aqua color. Depends on mood, clothing, lightning and other factors I've never quite figured out. 7. I had an extra tooth way up in the roof of my mouth under my sinus cavity. We found it with pre-braces x-rays. They had to remove it to ensure it didn't shift and wind up in my sinues. It's apparently a freak gentic mutation that runs in families. 8. I have my tonsils and appendix though my wisdomw teeth were surgically extracted when I was around 16 because they were under my other teeth, lodged sideways in my jaw. They had to put me to sleep for the proceedure and chip them out fragment by fragment. 9. I have never broken a bone or required regular stiches. (Other then ones for your mouth that disolve from the extra tooth surgery and the wisdom tooth surgery.) 10. I am 28 but I will be *gasp* 29 on May 16th. 11. I have one hole pierced in each ear and nothing else. My ears have had to be re-pierced around three times because the holes always close up. They'll start to close in a matter of a couple days even though it was originally done when I was around 6 years old. 12. I have no tattoos and no plans to get any. I can't fathom anything I'd want on my body for the rest of my life nor any place I'd want it to be. 13. I am now and have always been nocturnal. As a kid, I used to stuff clothes under the crack in my door so I could stay up and read by flashlight or such. My mom thought I'd grow out of it and I never have. I utterly and completely can't do mornings. So there you go. :) Random factoids about M.
Lost - Timer down to 000:00!
Ok, that was a tense moment. And of course, I rewound my dvr and watched the flipping many times to make some observations. Then I hit the net. Because I can't cut here, I'm going to direct anyone interested to check out my lj entry about it. I have a ton of cool screen caps and a possible - *gasp!* - solution to what exactly the hieroglyhs mean. It's spoiler centeral so don't blame me if you click but didn't want to know. ;) But if you're a Lost junkie like I've become, you'll want to know. So go read and feel free to add your thoughts and findings and guesses too. Damned addictive show!

Frost In Florida!
I know most of you live in places that see actual snow (and this week a lot of it!) but here in the Sunshine state, it rarely gets below freezing. Even less rarely do we get actual frost. I'm very close (a mile or so) from the water and the Tampa Bay Area especially due to being surrounded by both the Bay and the Gulf, the warmness of the water keeps us from reaching the frost point. Other more inland and northern areas might get frost a few times a year but for us, it's a rare event. So imagine my surprise this morning to actually see it when I got up to see Love off to work! The grass was white with frost and the cars were all iced over. We actually had to scrap our windshield this morning! Can you believe it?   Click here to see larger images and a few more Keep in mind, we'll be pushing 80F in two days. So this kind of weather is freakish for us and just plain odd. I bundled up in Love's coat and had to run outside to take some photos. It's not often I get the chance to have frosty images! The ones I took of the grass didn't come out but I think this will still give you a good idea. Anyway, just thought it was amusing and wanted to share. This is a big event for us funny as that may seem to those in non-subtropical climates!

Success!
I just got home. I did all three fillings today. No problems. No complications. And thank gods, none need anything further! I'm done. All I have left is a $54 cleaning and to pay the remaining $380 left over for the root canal. But no more work. It's all over. I'm through. I can't tell you how relieved I feel. It doesn't seem real. After dealing with it for so long, it's amazing to think it's really, truly and finally over. I'm really sore right now - the numbness is wearing off - but knowing it's the last time I'll be dealing with it makes it a lot easier to deal with. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and support. It means so much to me. And I really think it helped get me through.

This, That, The Other
Weather - Brr! It's cold in the sunshine state! It's been a whopping 46F today which is absolutely frigid for a daytime temp for us. Most winter nights don't get that low overnight around here. Lots of weather advisories this afternoon. A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect for the entire region through 9am Monday, so bundle up in layers when heading out the door. ...a Freeze Warning is up for the entire region through 8am Monday. A Freeze Watch...Monday night through Tuesday morning.It's supposed to be 35F overnight tonight and only 33F overnight tomorrow. Brr! I say. Brr! (In typical Florida weather fashion though, the forecast calls for us to be back around 80F by the end of the week.) Soreness - My neck's been in bad shape the last few days. Big, stiff knot that just won't move. My neck is really locked right now from how tight it's gotten. And with the cold, my left wrist has decided to ache something fierce for the last two days. It's just killing me and everytime I try to use it - more then you realize even though it's my non-dominent hand - it painfully flares and reminds me that's not possible right now. I can't pick anything up even. Ugh. So annoying. Most times, my wrist is ok but some times...man. It reminds me it's not actually ok, it's just not painful enough to notice it on a daily basis. Dentist - So I admit. I'm freaked out about going to the dentist tomorrow. There's layers of reasons. My fear of the dentist has only gotten significantly worse over the last year through all the work I've had to do. I dread it more then I ever have and I get so anxious and sick to my stomach thinking about it. (Because, everytime, it's no fun and it's hours of pain.) I mean, big surprise I'm getting more and more gun shy, you know? Then I'm absolutely terrified that because it's been so damned long since I started this process, that the remaining three cavities are going to turn out like the last one - into a root canal. And there's no way I can afford to do another root canal. But the remaining teeth are much more visable and if I had them extracted, I'd totally fuck up my other, surrounding teeth. So I'm completely scared out of my mind. I've been trying to think positive thoughts but...man...it's hard. I'm so worried. I'm also not sure if I'm going to be able to endure all three tomorrow since one is on the top and if my neck continues to be as stiff as it's been, I won't be able to move it back for an hour so they can get up to the top. It's just a bad situation all around. Anyway, I'm dreading tomorrow. And I wish the weekend weren't over. I'd appreciate warm-wishes, positive thoughts and good energy for tomorrow. I want this to just all go smoothly and be done, finally, once and for all. I want to stop worrying about it all and dealing with the stresses it's caused emotionally, physically and financially.
