As I watch American Idol, I seriously think Paula Abdul is on drugs. Whether they are prescription drugs, or illegal drugs (or it could be alcohol, I don't know) she is on something. There is no person out there that looks and acts the way she does that is not on something. She seems to have to hold herself up while sitting at times. It's embarrassing for me to watch. Even if she's a good judge they should take her off the air. She is definitely a bad role model for the children watching...although they probably don't realize she is not acting quite right.
This past weekend it was nice and sunny outside. We went to Old Towne Alexandria and walked to the waterfront which, I must add, was not as impressive as Wilmington's waterfront. Then we walked to this Latin fusion restaurant and drank some mojitos. Afterwards we went into the city and ate at one of the many Ethiopian restaurants. I was SO full after eating. It was beautiful over the weekend in the 70's. It was nice not having to wear a jacket everywhere we went. On Sunday, we didn't end up doing anything much except going to the grocery store and to our staple Tex-Mex restaurant. I had a coupon for a free cup of soup (and they actually had one that was vegetarian) and I just ate the chips, salsa and guacamole for dinner. And I ordered an ice tea. There are few times that I drink anything but water when out but I felt feisty that day!
Today I went to the dentist for a cleaning. As always, they commented on how wonderful my teeth are and how well I take care of them. I have always had this one tooth in the front that was abnormal. It has a hole on the side of it that is covered by my gum. The dentists have always told me that if I didn't want to fix it, as long as I took good care to clean it out then I wouldn't have any problems. I've also had a couple dentists tell me that they would fix it for cosmetic purposes, but honestly, I can only tell that it isn't perfect if I intentionally search. So I've always said no to any work being done on it. This dentist told me that she wasn't going to make me fix it and that it was ultimately my choice, but she thought it would be best to fix it so that it wouldn't cause any problems in the future. I remember back when I was a child and they talked about fixing it, they said that eventually the fake part would discolor and you would be able to tell that it wasn't all real tooth. So I asked this dentist about that and she said that with the products they have now a days, that wouldn't be a problem. I think she is probably right since I had to have my bottom front tooth fixed about 5 years ago when it broke and you can't tell where my real tooth ends and the fake part begins. I also remember the color they chose when they were filling that tooth- A1. I'm pretty certain that is the whitest they have. Yay for my naturally white teeth! Anyways, I'm going back next Thursday to fill in the hole in my tooth. I hope I'm making the right decision.
And to those that I haven't spoken to since we got confirmation, we are moving to Beaumont, TX in July. I have mixed feelings about the move but I think it will help us financially. I think the weather will be nice, being near a beach again will be nice and buying a house that we can actually afford and still be nice, will be nice. I think we are going to buy a place that is newer to avoid the mold issue that I've had with this house. I will be looking forward to not having to spray Veramyst in my nostrils on a daily basis.
Michael left last night for Billings, MT where it was a high of 12 degrees today (ha ha!). Poor guy didn't get there until 1 am EST and then is on a plane right now coming back home. He won't be back until after midnight. I'm sure he's going to be exhausted. I hope he doesn't think he has to be at work tomorrow morning as early as he normally does, especially since his boss isn't even going to be there. That made me realize that tomorrow is Wednesday already. Time is just flying by. I can't believe that it's almost the middle of March.
