Today is going to be the BESTEST EVER. I get to go to the dentist! Now before you go feeling all sorry for me, you might as well know, I’m a freak of nature. Never had a cavity. Neither has Steve. :D We have good teeth. Nevertheless, STILL. HATE. THE. DENTIST! We used to have one in California that Steve and I called Captain Hook. She was getting up there in age and when she used the hook thingie she’d slip and she’d cut us. Totally cut us, man. Going to try a new dentist today. My palms are already all sweaty and I’m practicing curling my toes while they poke at me and wedge my jaw open. Mmmm. Fun. Almost as fun as the gyno. Where the same thing happens with sharp objects, sweaty palms and curled toes but….Moving on……

So guess what? GUESS. WHAT?!?! *I* received my next belt in Hapkido last night! WOOO HOOO! I am now no longer the lowest belt rank! I was so giddy I had trouble falling asleep last night. I do have one complaint though. Whenever the senseis in the dojo decide they’ve got a problem area or ate too much over the holidays, somehow I end up paying. Last night Sensei says “We’re going to do crunches tonight because I need some ab work.” I couldn’t resist saying “So this is like when Sensei Yoda comes into sparring class and announces he has a muffin top and needs to spar?” Sensei laughed and said “Exactly.” That was the day Yoda broke Steve’s ribs, all because he ate too much over Christmas. In case you were wondering, *I* did not need the crunches as I’ve done my 500 for this week. At least it wasn’t push up night. I *HATE* push up night when Sensei decides his arms are flabby. No wait, “I’m going skiing” nights are way worse. I *HATE* it when he’s going skiing and says he needs to get his ski muscles in shape. Sigh.

Anyway, can you believe the train wreck that is Britney Spears?!?! Hasn’t slept since Saturday…Ok, I’ve gotta run. The dentist is waiting with his implements of pain….
