Remember my complete obsession with Lime Tostitos? Actually, it was an obsession across all of our suite members.. especially with Mountain Dew. It was the best.
Well, now I’ve discovered Miss Vickie’s Lime and Black pepper potato chips. They’re a dangerous thing. At least I have only been buying them in the single-size servings.
This just goes to prove, I am quickly obsessed with anything that has lime in it.
So, what have we been up to?
Oak’s birthday was over the weekend. I crafted him a delicious icebox cake, and he made chicken legs and delicious mashed potatoes for everyone. Yummy! On Sunday, a large amount of baking ensued, including a “Sky high breakfast bake,” blueberry muffins, and a giant challah bread that nearly took over the oven. Pictures soon.
In other news, we’re also busy getting thousands of dollars worth of dental work done this month. Last Wednesday I went and got a mold made for some new veneers. That was the first time I’ve had that done… you have to sit with this slime in your mouth for 8 minutes. In the meantime, I had to swallow, and ended up choking and nearly spitting the mold out. I was a little scared that I was going to have to sit ANOTHER 8 minutes, but apparently the first one came out okay. In 4 weeks, I get the veneers done. I didn’t realize this was such a process – I thought I’d be walking away with them done last week!
Then, yesterday, Oak got some surgery done. He’s on soft foods and has a bunch of stitches in his mouth. He showed them to me, and I wanted to run away, proving that I probably wouldn’t do so well as a dentist. However, I feel we all need to seriously consider this profession considering the fact that all services cost a small fortune (or at least 5 house payments). They must be raking in the dough, big time.
We’re putting all the dental drama aside for later this week, when we’re heading to the Outer Banks for 4 days with Oak’s family. Finally, the beach!
Samantha Thompson Smith, one of my favorite columnists from the Raleigh News and Observer, discusses the entry of shorts into the workplace.
I haven’t gotten a pair of “city shorts” yet, but I do have to note that wearing them would probably be completely acceptable, considering the fact that I even see the “traditional midthigh length shorts” that Samantha says are not appropriate.
I also think that white sneakers should be banned from all offices. In fact, let’s ban them from anywhere but the gym and Walt Disney World. Thanks!
See pictures of my 25th birthday!
I’m trying to finally update my digital photos section, as I have been majorly slacking off. Problem is, I can’t decide what photo management tool to use, so some link to local galleries, and others link to Flickr. I’d probably use flickr if it didn’t require a paying membership to post more than 3 galleries. Oh well, at least we can find everything now! Stay tuned as I post more updates to the digital section.
