I'm a child of the 80's

Let me start out by saying I LOVE candy. Love.it. Sweet, sour, tart, chewy, you name it. Love it.

My fabulous co-worker received this box.

Well guess what? She was NOT a child of the 80s. We had talked about it one day, and of course, I forgot about it. Then one morning I find it sitting on my desk. She and her hubby picked thru the candy and she brought the rest for me.

Check out what was inside waiting for me!

 One of my favorites, Laffy Taffy. I love those stupid little jokes. And this one took me back, candy cigarettes. What the hell were they trying to teach us, that smoking WAS cool? I don't think so! I mean, don't get me wrong, I had my fair share of candy cigarettes, but I preferred the gum cigarette, where they were rolled in white paper and when you gave them a puff, powered sugar came out. Man, I thought I was so cool.

Any who.... I am going to leave you with two jokes today.

Q: How does a Mule open a locked barn?

A: With Don-keys!

Q: Why did one skeleton chase after the other?

A: Because he had a bone to pick with him.

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

My light just went dim.

Just when you thought there was a light at the end of the tunnel and you could actually see the light ...45 minutes into what is supposed to be your LAST dental appointment, your dentist discovers the crown doesn't fit. And guess what, that light that was once SO bright, just got a little dimmer. So, the crown has to be sent back. And you get sent home with an incomplete set of teeth.....again.

***sigh***

3 years later and what seems to be adding up to a hell of lot of money, and I have to go back. In two weeks.

But lets look at the positives here. At least the other crown fit.

In the last 3 years, I have had a crap ton of work done. Here is the break down:
* Compacted Wisdom teeth removed
* 18 months of Invisalign
* Bone graft/Sinus Lift
* Schedule Implants
* Get KTFU with B2 - put next surgery on hold
* Implants are now scheduled
* Implants have to heal
* and heal some more - at least the oral surgeon is easy on the eyes
* Get molds made for crowns
* Wait for crowns
* Crowns finally comes in, only one fits
* Reschedule for 2 weeks out

Oh and I suppose you are wondering WHY I have implants and crowns to begin with, ahe? Because the nut job of a dentist I went to years ago jacked these two teeth up and they had to be pulled. And they are my meat eater teeth and I just wasn't happy without them. So I figured, WTH else am I going to do with my insurance money?

Brush and floss daily kids!

Weekend Review

I am shocked that I only posted twice last week. What's up with that? Most have been a slow week.
My weekend over all was BoRiNg! I was hit by the nasty cootie bug going around work. I would love to be able to breath out my nose.

Is it sad that I don't even remember Friday night? And it's not because I partied like a rock star. I think it has something to do with the amount of cold medicine I was taking.

B and I did get some QT, as Brendan went and spent the night with Nana and Papa. We attempted to go to dinner and movie. We had planned on grabbing a quick slice of pizza at Sbarro, but guess what? The damn place is closed. So we did a little window shopping in the freezing ass cold. I think it was 11 degrees. Can anyone tell me why Uggs are so damn expensive? Even on clearance they are $105! For real people, come on now. Back to the story.... As you all know, I LOVE Marky Mark. He is beyond hotness. With that being said, we saw his latest movie, "The Fighter".  Not your normal rags to riches, boxer gone millionare type movie. It's based on a true story.  B wold recommend that you go see it, I recommend that  you wait for it to hit VOD. It was good, not worth my movie pass or spending my own actual money on....but then again, it was Marky Mark....

I had a USMC cake to make this weekend. I'll post pics of that later.

I cleaned out the junk drawer. You have no idea how long that has been driving me nuts. I hate clutter. I hate junk. I hate not being able to find anything. B kept putting so much crap in that drawer, it was falling out the backside. I think he is sad the drawer is no more. It's not the drawer isn't there, it's just organized. And I promised him that if I find anything that doesn't belong there, I am throwing it away no questions asked. Then I proceeded to tell him he was like his father in the respect that he won't throw anything away and sooner or later one of them is going to end up on hoarders. LOL.

I leave you with this:

Attention Kroger Shoppers

I can not make this stuff up. This is the kind of stuff that just happens.

Last night while I was at Kroger doing my weekly grocery shopping, I hear this over the loud speaker.
"Attention Kroger shoppers, if you drive a gold Grand Am, license plate # ------, would you please move your car. You are parked in the cart corral and we cannot retrieve carts for our other Kroger shoppers. Thank you."

I stood in the isle and said out loud "stupid asses". Seriously, WTF does that? Was the parking lot crowded? Sure. But does that give any one good reason to park where they did? How does one even fit their car there? Suck it up and park out in the boonies like I did.

I went home and told B about it. We laughed for a few minutes and he says I can never go to Kroger without coming home with some sort of story. It's true. Something interesting always happens when I am out shopping.

Weekend Review

I have SO much to talk about today.

The Browns: After yesterday EMBARRASSING loss to the Shitsburgh Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach, Eric Mangini has been fired at this mornings team meeting. You have no idea how happy this makes me. I am hoping and prayer that they hire John Gruden. If this happens, you bet I will be looking into season tickets. Gruden and Peyton Hillis... HOT STUFF!

My BFF ( I know, I am not supposed to use that word anymore) Joyce got engaged over the weekend. I am over the moon happy for her! It's been a long time coming. But now when she asks me when I am going to have another baby, I don't have my "when are you going to get married" question to throw back at her. She tells me I have a year to save up for a ugly bridesmaid dress. I say screw the dress, when is the bachlorette party.

All the holiday festivities are over and I am glad to be back to a full working week, with a full paycheck on the way. This 24 hours and 32 hours crap is for the birds. I have bills to pay people. My least favorite this time of year is getting the dog licenses renewed. Seriously, $25 per dog. I will be glad when I can get back to my normal workout schedule. Being as I will be wearing a BM dress with in the next year. I refuse to look as horrible and fat as I did in Nicole's wedding. But if anything, those pictures are what keep me motivated.

Totally off topic, but listening to people scarf down eat their lunch drives me batty. I can't stand to hear people chew their food to begin with. But when I can hear the person in the cube next to me eat as thou they haven't ate in 2 drives, make me want to stab myself in the ear. And the constant scrapping of the yogurt container, give it up....it's gone! That's almost as bad as the people who insist they can get more out of the straw when the beverage they were drinking is gone.

Oh, BTW, Happy 2011! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Let's talk common sense

I swear some people did not come equipped with common sense.

Do people NOT pay attention to what is going on around them?

Citation #1: People down the street put their trash AND recycling out. Problem with that is, it was not our week to recycle. Did they not realize they were the only people on the entire block with a BLUE bin out? Common sense would you tell since no one else has a blue bin out, its not recycle week.

Citation #2: People down the other direction of the block have their Christmas tree at the curb. Do you see anyone else on the block with a tree at the curb. I am sure they saw the news or even listed to the radio that specifically said the City of Toledo Refuse Service was NOT picking up trees curb side, but there were however, several locations were you could drop you tree off.

Citation #3: Girls at the gym who talk on their cell phones while "working out". Seriously? Seriously. I know when I am working out I can talk, but I can not carry on a conversation. If you can carry one a conversation without having a hard time breathing, you are not working out to your full potential. Hang up the phone and kick it up a notch.

Dusting off the blog!

I've decided to get back into blogging! YEA! I know you are all so excited....I know I am.

I thought about changing the name, but I decided to keep Baby Cakes. Instead of just writing about Brendan, I decided to write about all things.

So stay tuned. As always, I have lots to talk about.
