Good in the bad

Me and my bad teeth were lucky enough to have a surprise but necessary visit to an oral surgeon or two.

While it's easier for me to sit home in pain, being ornery and looking swollen, I decided that there are actually a good thing or two that come from the experience...

• I have awesome insurance that paid for all the visits
• I get to (or is it have to??) eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next day or two.
• Since I'm 'sick' the calories from the ice cream don't count, right?
• I have a job that is flexible and allows me to work from home
• I now have time to watch the last five episodes of Grey's Anatomy that my DVR has been saving for me
• Percocet!

So,the silver lining is turning out to be pretty nice. Back to the couch and my scoop of ice cream!

Word to the wise

When you find yourself in your pajamas and needing to run out to your snow enveloped car, heels may seem the best option to keep your warm feet from sinking into the snowy ground (which they certainly do), but they don't do much in the traction department. That is how you end up sliding around and eventually landing on your keister...along with being wet and cold. Opt for putting on your boyfriends boots instead. Your bum will thank you. Not that I would ever do anything like this...I'm just saying.

Hula Hoopin' Fool

Last night I was putting in some serious work with the Wii Fit. Towards the end I was spending a lot of time on the hula hoop exercise. I was really killing it...until I wasn't. Apparently hula-ing the hoop is too intense for my poor old back...it is killing me!!! My regimen of ice packs and icy hot is just not cutting it. Right about now I am really regretting breaking up with my Chiropractor. I may have to grovel my way back there if this doesn't clear up soon. :) I sure wish my Dad, who happens to be my favorite Chiropractor, made house calls!

In my defense, my back was still a bit skiwampus (sp?) from my last car accident, but I honestly thought that I could handle the hoop. I better stick to the yoga exercises for awhile! Man, I feel old!!
