Redlight surprise!

As I was yapping away Monday on the phone it was like any other day, grap the mail on the way inside.  In my hurried state I gave it to Markus to continue my convo.  He loves to get the mail first so he shows me a letter and it was something from the state.  I was thinking the DMV cause it was addressed to both of us.  Surprise!  It was a ticket from one of the redlight cameras!  OH boy.  Markus was laughing and immediately looked for the time and date of this to make sure it wasn't him before he started with his I told you so's.  Yep it was me.  So conveniently I can't watch the video of the whole thing happening.  Grr.. I'm going to try it on my work computer to see if the ol' PC will work it's magic.  I was taking a right on red and supposedly didn't come to a complete stop on Florida freakin' Blvd??  Does anyone know how busy that road is??  Um I just don't think I would've done that in the AM.  But we will see.  I think I had a green arrow but of course the pics on the ticket didn't show a close up of the light.  So what was the money for these damn cameras going to??  Anyone?

Lastest Pics of Bogey

Everyday I wonder what I would do without this dog.  He really keeps Markus and I together.  We have grown to love him in a way that we love.  We call him Bogey Puppy these days.  He is just the life of our party.  There really is never a dull moment.  If this is what kids are like, I'm going to love every second of it.  There is nothing better than Bogey coming to me (couch, bed, etc.) and plopping as close as he can get even on top of me in my face just to cuddle.  The sweetest thing ever.  He's getting very fluffy and we just haven't cut him yet, but I love his mohawk.  Now if I could just catch a picture of him drinking out of the toilet, I haven't been successful.  His fav thing to do when he comes from the hot outside.  We caught him one day doing it and just laughed so hard.  :)  Enjoy!

My New Fav Pic of Bogey

I love his spotted tongue and mohawk.  Oh he's on my new bedding too.

If this isn't just sweet!

and sweeter.  Markus gets a kick out of this :)

I think they are playing the staring contest here.  Markus lost cause he's smiling.  Bogey is Mr. Serious!

An Update

I started rinsing/ gargling with peroxide on Monday evening (or Tues) I believe it was and today I'm starting to feel some relief.  Let me just say it's about time.  But I am happy to report I think it works.  It's no miracle in that one swish and you're healed or anything.  But at least it has slowly taken the pain away.  I guess it would've been no big deal (as some people I belly ache to say) had it only been the ones you get on your gums or inside of the wall of your mouth (which I had both), but the most painful one was under my tongue on the super tender part and every time i talked or swallowed it let me know it was there.  It got way bigger with little baby ulcers coming up all around the mama one before it got better too.  Ok this is weird, but for everyone who thought it was weird (like me) try it when you get one.  It works!  voila

Who knew?

I was belly-aching at work yesterday about how much pain these ulcers were giving me and one of my co-workers was like Jenn just gargle with peroxide.  HUH?  I didn't know if I heard her correctly, but that's right and the bottle I have even gives you instructions on mixing equal parts of water and peroxide.  Nothing like foaming at the mouth!  One day these SOB's will be gone.

My poor aching mouth

So right when I thought I was doing ok I see ulcers all over my mouth.  You talk about hurt.  See the root canal wasn't the bad part, it was how badly my mouth got torn up in the process.  I kept wondering why it was so hard to swallow.  I just need to get rid of these things ASAP.

I'm a BIG Girl Now!

I must say I'm proud of myself after yesterday's root canal.  I didn't take the valium as they offered nor the gas once I was there and edgy.  I managed to calm my nerves by myself (with the help of my IPOD).  People thought I was crazy not doing any of the above, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (after I calmed down) and it went much better than I thought.  Until he was going to fill a tooth and I felt him drilling.  That was scary, but they numbed me again and it was all good from there.  Now all I have to do is go for more fillings and the crown.  However, my mouth is sooo sore from keeping it open for so long that all I want to do is shut it!  Ahh.. how funny.  

Bad news is one of my other teeth might need a root canal, but he won't know for sure until he goes in there (how comforting, right?).  So we will see.  For now I'm taking it easy.
