Life just keeps laughing..

Life: 1.
Michelle: None.

Mondays are relentless.
A hell of a whole lot has been going on lately.
And so I cave..

Have you ever heard the saying,
"An apple a day.."
Well, I'd do just about anything to keep the dentist away.
I've never had any dental work done before but I hear that it's pretty awful..
until now that is.
In August, I found out that I'm not only going to have to have one dental procedure done but rather a series of two or three oral surgeries in which would be drawn out over the period of about a year.
So for the past two months of my life I've spent every holiday/day off at my (what seems to be newest home)..the dentist office. I have gone from having just one dentist to a series of four dentist w/in a two month time period and I'll be spending my half day off tomorrow meeting with yet again...dentist number 4.
I'm supposed to be having a bone graft on my jaw next Wednesday, and I call at lunch today only to find out that dentist number 2 put the surgery on hold until further notice...in which I was unaware of.
After planning around a dentist and an oral surgeon's schedules, my employers schedule, my class schedule, my personal schedule and already taking days off next week, to say I was a little upset to hear that is an understatement.
I already hate going to the dentist and I'm afraid that this love I have for him is only going to get worst before getting better. I'm just ready to get it all over with, and I surely hope that a year from now I'll forget that this ever happened. I know that I need be thankful that it's nothing more than what it is, but I'm absolutely sick of my life revolving around my dentists. You see, the worst part of it all is I'll have to miss a week from work and I won't be able to eat "real food" for two weeks after (and this is only for procedure #1)...I just can't think of a worst punishment! With each appointment, the process just continues to get lengthier and more drawn out, and we're trying to divide having to take these days off between two calendar years (2010/2011). I know that I'm going to have a much prettier smile when it's all said and done, and I know the sooner it starts the sooner its over...but to having it "hanging over your head" per say is just not much fun.
So to say that I'm a little overwhelmed is quite an understatement. I have a test tomorrow, a tax return project due in December, two comprehensive final exams, work, and of course a bowl game mixed in with the holidays..as if that's not enough in and of itself. Each weekend in both November and January are already filled. And they think I've got time to re-schedule?
Until next time..

You Might be a Redneck if..

Your blog consists of posts like this:
Yep, it's that time of the year again.
Talladega, that is.
One of the few times out of each year in which every redneck within a 1,000 mile radius gathers in one city located in the middle of nowhere Alabama to watch cars race around in a circle to see who can finish first.

Living in the state of Alabama on race weekend:
Priceless.
Thank you Nascar fans for the pure entertainment that you provide to Alabama residents two times out of each year. Seeing you around town in your mullets and jorts with your campers in tow truly made my weekend that much better.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife..

People are crazy.
Statement just confirmed.
I got a call on the way to Meridian today from my dad.
When his conversations start with,
"Well I didn't get much sleep last night.."
it's usually a given that something is wrong.
Someone threw a brick into the front door of the store around midnight last night.
It completely shattered the glass door, leaving a very large mess to be cleaned up.
He's got it all on camera and of course I watched it this afternoon.
A man dressed in all black ran to the door, threw a very large brick, and ran off.
The cops were on the scene within minutes and we're just thankful that no merchandise was damaged or missing.
Apparently, these men hit four businesses last night and have hit numerous churches throughout town, as if it might be a gang initiation of some sort?
"Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, they rapin' everybody out here."

Monday, Monday..

Does anyone else just absolutely dread Mondays as much as I do?
Thankfully, this Monday wasn't as bad as expected.
I spent the weekend in Starkville for the Homecoming game, it was so great getting to catch up with friends and family!! And of course we had a blast, as always!! I hurried back yesterday morning to study for an Income Tax test that I had tonight. Needless to say, I went to bed around the 2:00 a.m. hour and woke back up around 4:00 due to the terrible weather. Got to work this morning, had a meeting during lunch, Income Tax test as soon as I got off, came right home to clean and try and get ready for tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'm headed to work in the morning and Meridian tomorrow afternoon.
Then Starkville again this weekend!
Not to mention the fact that I should be studying for my Intermediate Accounting test next week and I still don't have a Halloween costume!!
Any ideas?
