it's as real as it gets around here folks. an accident yesterday rendered me into something that resembles stu's fraternal twin from 'the hangover'.... so there will be an emergency dental visit tomorrow.

definitely not pretty. 

so, i have been amusing myself making new headers and watching old movies.  i did sneak down to my office today to leave some things for meetings i'm supposed to be in tomorrow.  i can join by teleconference....if i'm not in the chair.

it's just been that kind of weekend - the movie was so-so (the switch) and the food at my favorite chinese place was not so hot.  lizzie has decided that she loves pooping in my studio/den.  the weather is still hot.  but, in the grand scheme of things it could all be worse so i best make the best of it.  i have dental insurance now, jason bateman was adorable in the movie (so was the little boy), the chinese food wasn't so horrible that i didn't eat it...and the dog issue can be resolved with a bit more diligence in making sure she goes outside more often.... right?

  2. Oh my! This photo is so soothing in it's colours. Love it! It seems that sometimes life throws us a bunch of stuff at once, doesn't it? Glad you're trying to see the bright side. Makes it a bit easier to get throught to the other end of it all.

  10. Your sunflowers are just brilliant...wonderful photograph...and I'm truly sorry about the accident and the resulting dental work :(

    I know what you mean Char...I was just saying to my husband this afternoon that I know I have a really good life but when does all the peace, serenity and bliss begin? Is that too much to ask for?

  18. Sheesh, things seems a little annoying at the moment. Instant mashed potatoes were my friend after I had a wisdom tooth pulled. Maybe they'll help you too. Be gentle with yourself.

  24. Right.

    Just make lemonade. Always the best policy. And so glad to hear they can save your tooth.

  25. I guess it's easy to see the worst in things so I love how you turned this around... It's easy to dwell on the negative instead of thinking actually is it really as bad as it could be?
