For Beth

Since Beth is the only one who ever reads these things, I decided that I will personalize this blog for her. Beth, here is an update on my life since the last time I saw you, which I guess was...Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday were pretty much non-existent days in that all I did was work, sleep, get a darn cavity filled, sleep, and work. I have learned just how important flossing my teeth every night is. I have also learned that it is important for me to ingest less sugar. I do not like learning that I have cavities. I don't understand how Joe got out of there with none when he flosses just as little as I do. It must be the all the milk he drinks or something. Oh well though. I am thankful that we have good dental insurance. This last weekend I went and bought an electric toothbrush, some floss, and some mouthwash so I can have a fresh and healthy mouth that any dentist would be proud of. Bad flossing habits aside, I did like the actual dentist and am glad that I listened to your recommendation on who to go to:)

Today was rather uneventful as well. I came home from work and watched, "To Kill a Mockingbird." It was from the 1960s starring Gregory Peck. I thought it was a pretty good adaptation of the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. After that, I went to sleep for a few hours. When Joe finally woke up, I guess he watched it. He did not appreciate the movie as much as I did, but I didn't figure he would. He tends to have a lesser appreciation for black and white films. He did fold all the laundry that was in the second bedroom so that was nice. Tomorrow I will have to be diligent about making sure I get all the laundry I wash folded as soon as it comes out of the dryer so I don't have clean laundry piled up again. I hate when it gets unmanageable like that. When I finally got up and showered, Joe was not in a very good mood. Turns out that not being a church member for a year could have an effect upon whether or not he gets into seminary according to an admissions counselor. I tried to cheer him up by taking him shoe shopping. I thought he would be happy when I found a pair of shoes for Laura's wedding for only 15 dollars (in case the ones I love don't ever go on sale) that are semi-cute. He was somewhat appeased, but still kind of grouchy. We had dinner at Culver's, where the burger made him feel a little better, and then the highlight of my day occurred. I found a really cute cocktail dress at Macy's for the rehearsal dinner for L's wedding. You will have to see it; I got an AMAZING deal on it. Surprisingly, the good deal on the dress followed by looking at cookware and baby clothes made him feel better about his life.

Anyway, now I am sitting here bored out of my mind while he sleeps...I suppose I should try to as well since I have to bring him to work and I should try to clean my mess of an apartment tomorrow...
