eye doctor

Today was yet another doctor visit. One more tomorrow... and its the girly doc for the girly exam. Hip, hip, hooray. I made all these doctor appointments for this week, because I have my mom's car. She is out of town and she let me use her car while she is gone. Normally, if I need to make an appointment, I would have to take Chris to work. It's a total pain in the ass. So I am taking full advantage of having 2 cars. Anyhoo. Went to the eye doctor today for my annual exam and to get new glasses. My current glasses are falling apart. One side is held together by a wire where the screw should be. The paint on the inside at my temples has chipped off, and the metal turns my face green. I have to paint over it with clear nailpolish to keep that from happening. Also, some of the bling on the sides have fallen off. They are 2 1/2 years old. So, I get there early so that I can look at all the frames before my appointment. I didn't know if she was going to dilate my eyes or not. Its hard enough to look at frames without my glasses on, then add dilated eyes and its tough to see at all. Before they called me back, I had it narrowed down to 3 pair, but really leaning toward one pair. The doctor tells me that my astigmatism has shift, especially my right eye. So my prescription changed a lot. She said that can happen and there is not reason why. Whatever. Everything else is good. She actually didn't dilate my eyes, which was good. After the appointment, I decided on my glasses. Here they are:
The picture does not look very cool, but they are. I like them a lot. I hate that I have to wait a week to get them!!

dentist. grrr

I had my first dentist appointment in a couple of years, today. I stopped going, because our old dentist office was by our old apartment. That is over 25 miles away. Chris found a new dentist near his work and that was the dentist I went to see today.
There was good and bad at the dentist...
BAD: More cavities than I feel like saying. Slightly embarrassed about that. I have to get a crown over the tooth that I had a root canal on. After the root canal, the dentist just gave me a filling, instead of a crown. Now that filling has cracked, so I need a crown. I should have gotten the crown in the first place. So, crown and cavities. Plus... I grind my teeth and have issues with my jaw. When I open my mouth wide, my jaw locks. Sometimes so much that I have to hold on to it and pop it back in place. Most of the time it goes back itself, but it does slide back and forth and pops when it closes. If I keep my mouth open too long, my jaw hurts terribly. The dentist took a bite impression that just about killed me. I had to sit there with the stuff hardened and I was seconds away from grabbing the dentist's arm to make it stop, when he took it out. They also got impressions for a top and bottom night guard. It will help with the teeth grinding, but he said it should also help my jaw. They also did a test for TMJ. The dentist only glanced at the results, but he said that it didn't look as bad as he thought it would. That's a good thing. Mainly because he said that if the night guard doesn't work, then he would have to refer me to a specialist and the typical treatment is surgery. grrr. No thank you. So, filling and crowns and night guards. Oh my.
GOOD: This is the first dentist (or doctor for that matter) that has ever cared about my jaw issue. I am not sure if the treatment plan is gonna work, but at least someone cares to try to help me with it. Also, I feel like this dentist is much smarter than the last one we had. Chris is really happy with him and I was today too. We shall see. Trying to stay positive here.

look at this little chunky monkey!!

gotta love her..

SHE LIVES!!

me to my sister: Why do you always call me when I am watching Jonas?

After that short, random comment, let me explain why I haven't blogged in ages. Actually that comment does explain why. Twitter. Blogging in 140 characters or less. For so many people (me included), blogging has become micro blogging. How to say what you need want to say in short sentences. Straight to the point. Not repeating the same sentence in a different way. (Geez I'm silly.) But honestly, twitter is not the only reason.
My dad, father, sperm donor can still read my blog. I didn't want to share anything too personal about my life, because I felt like he didn't deserve to hear about it. I still feel the same, but I am been giving him too much power over me. My stats show that he doesn't even check here anymore. So if he's not thinking of me, why should I worry what he reads?
For the faithful people that do still check here occasionally, I want to bring you up to speed.
- Still unemployed. Grrrr
- Still loving Jason Castro. Music is coming really soon.
- Went to San Diego to meet my friends in real life. Amazing time. Love them even more now.
- Went to Ohio for Chris's sisters wedding. It was a great wedding. Nice to see the family. Bachelorette party. Drunk. Fun. I took tons of pictures. See them here.
I think that's it. I have been traveling a lot and I really like that. I wish I could travel all the time. I also think I just really like getting out of the house when I can. With having only one car right now, I spend 95% of my life in the house. I would walk, but its too fucking hot right now. I started walking early morning at the very beginning of summer, but now even the mornings are 90+.
Not much else has been really going on with me. But if you have been reading my blog in the past, you know that I blog about the most random things. So, I am gonna get back on track with it. Still gonna tweet, but I have a lot of nothing to say.

Oh and by the way... I actually was watching Jonas when I wrote this.
