Over the past couple of years he has really been having trouble – he needs a couple of root canals, a couple of his teeth have broken, and a couple have fallen out. I have a really hard time to understand how and why this is happening to him; I haven’t even had a cavity in over thirty years! I’ve bought a water-pik for him to use, but he won’t use it, and when we moved down here I don’t even remember unpacking it, so it may still be packed up in a box in the basement somewhere.

I feel badly for him because of his teeth, they cause him a lot of pain, and unfortunately our dental plan does not cover it all, and we can’t afford to spend the money that needs to be spent to save his teeth. I’m afraid he will have to have them pulled. And I’m afraid we will not be able to afford dentures.

So imagine my surprise when I didn’t have to cook dinner today – my son did it all and it was delicious! He cooked a nice lasagna, a green salad, and cheesy garlic bread! What a nice treat – I could get used to this!

It just drives me crazy to have to wait until the last minute to have to find all the presents that are required of me to purchase for our ever growing family. With Christmas less than two months away there really isn’t a whole lot of time left especially since I do most of my shopping online and you have to wait for your purchase to be delivered, which of course takes time.

I have been buying my son’s and my husbands underwear for as long as I remember and now I have been purchasing them online which has been a time and money saver, both of which are awesome. I can usually find good deals and free shipping is always a must when ordering anything online, if not those shipping and handling charges can really rack up the final total bill and we can’t be having that these days.

I remember working at an office back when I was nineteen. My boss walked in wearing a new pink shirt and I complimented him on how nice that pink shirt looked on him and I was told by another office employee that I should never say that a man wears anything pink, that I should refer to it as a “light red” shirt.  LOL

Anyway, it seems that there are more and more breast cancer awareness products being offered to the general public and I would love to find something that I could feel good about wearing to help support this worthy cause. Good thing I look good in pink!

His girlfriend sent me an email today informing me that she thinks that he needs to see a Periodontist and is asking me to step into the picture and urge him to find a Periodontist that will take his insurance and is taking new patients. So I have decided to do a bit of the leg work for him and went to smilegeneration.com to see if I could find a Periodontist for him. I love how the Internet makes a task such as this a much easier task to tackle, it sure beats thumbing through the Big Yellow Book trying to find what you want and need. I don’t even have any phone books in my house any more, they were just taking up space and collecting dust so as soon as one arrives at the end of the drive way they go straight into the paper recycling bin and good riddance to them all.

So I did find a couple of Periodontists that fit the bill and I have sent him an email with the information that is needed and I can only hope that he takes it from there, if not I guess I will have go into my “nag” mode and I really don’t like going there any more than I have to.

So, my best friend came up with a great idea and sent me the link to http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ and told me to pick out a set of cotton scrubs that I wouldn’t mind wearing in public this summer. I was amazed to see all of the varieties of medical uniforms that are out there for our good folks that are in the medical field. So it didn’t take me long to find several outfits that I wouldn’t mind sporting around town. I put my order in and they should be arriving in short order and I’m excited to find out how they look and fit and mainly how they feel out in this outrageous heat. Thanks BFF for the idea, hope it works!

It isn’t going to be a huge area, but sufficient enough for some Picnic Tables and a scattering of Park Benches along with one of the new fangled playground equipment that is safe and durable, most of it made from recycled materials, which was a key selling point for everyone.  As a matter of fact if I remember correctly most of the Site Furnishings are to be made of recycled materials.

Too bad we couldn’t convenience them to put a few of those comfortable Adirondack chairs for the adults to sit in instead of the hard park benches that you see in every park all across the country, ugh. But you can’t have everything and I’m grateful for what we are getting. The whole neighborhood will benefit from it, we have a lot of good folks that live around here and not too many trouble makers to worry about.

I can’t wait to see how it all comes about. If you stand in our front yard and look down the street you can see the future site, so we will have a bird’s eye view of the whole process from beginning to end.
