The Dentist..Final Step

I finally finished up the last of the work on the top arch in my mouth. I had one crown/tooth that was 'angry' when all my dental work was done in July. (That is was the dentist called it). So it had to go in timeout for a while and so the crown was put in temporarily while it made up it mind. The choice was calm down or root canal. So we waited until today to find out. It came off when I ate a jelly bean last friday and has been waiting until today to go back in. ( I did get it to hold with toothpaste).

So this morning, bright and early it was off to the dentist. After a good cleaning of the tooth and the crown, it was determined said tooth had decided to calm down. Great News and the crown was put in permanently, but what was even better it was done without any numbing medication!!!! (And it didn't hurt!) Yeah!!!!

Good now, I can say 'All Done!'

The Actual Birthday day

I start my day off with some beautiful berries pictured below...picture taken before I add the whipped cream. Yummy! I followed it up with a bubble bath and chocolate!



Then it was off to work with Mr80grit driving me and setting me up with my normal lunch which today wasn't bad because Mom stopped by with coffee from my favorite local hut. Yummy! She visited with me and then was off again.

Mr80grit picked up wonderful gluten free cupcakes and then made dinner at home. See his blog to see how big a deal that was. It was totally a delightful day.

Day One

Okay..first day of my new age. Things I am hoping to accomplish this year. To blog everyday but be okay with myself if I only get 5 of the 7 days blogged.

I am going to make healthier food and lifestyle choices.

I am going to knit projects that I really love not ones that should be done!

Some examples of projects I am enjoying are the following:

This beautiful pink stole...

Mr80grit's birthday socks...I really like Lorna Laces yarn!

So now off to pamper myself for my birthday before work!

Just to clarify..

my birthday is not today but tomorrow the 24th. I know I was confused when I did the post too.

The day before...

it is the day before I start my journey of my last year in my thirties. I decided that I am going to use this year to prepare for the next decade. I have set some goals to reach each day, month and quarter. I wish I would have done this when I turned 29 but you can't go back. My 29th year was crazy anyway. So I am using today to set the goals up, finish off a few things to get ready. It isn't that I am dreading the next decade, it just takes time to get use to a think but I hear that they are great years. So let us see!

Wash Day at our house

Last night was wash the socks night. I was only able to do about 15 pairs due to that is all the room I have.

Here are the red/green socks:

Not very exciting Friday night but we at least had fun together!

Fridays are amazing

It has been a while since I understood that whole TGIF thing. (for fellow blondes that doesn't mean toes go in first). I am getting more excited about weekends with each passing week. I love that I get to hang out with my hubby all weekend long. Yes, we are each others best friend. We really need to focus on the house this weekend. But it is already has the makes of a busy weekend, band practice on Saturday for like three hours as the contemporary band is learning a new song. Plus they are doing photo shoots for the kids in the different bands for work tomorrow too and I might wander there as they are in the same building as our practice.

Fridays are short days in the office for the teachers too. They only teach until 6 pm instead of the normal 9 pm. So I usually close the office up on Fridays. Tomorrow a few of the teachers have lessons so I have to print there schedules and leave it for them.

The downside of sitting by big windows that face south is that by 4 o'clock in the afternoon on really sunny days like today the front office area is a sauna even though it is cold outside, Crazy I know but I can handle it! I love having windows.

Knitting - I really need to do some knitting especially on mr80grit's thank you socks as I am ready to be done if you know what I mean!

Does this seem like I am rambling??? It does to me so that means I sign off for now!
