Finally feel like my inner-Martha is coming back... Lost her for a bit, there. I spent yesterday cooking and baking... gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies, no-bake cookies, fudge, beer bread and strawberry jam. Here is my first fully assembled gift goodie basket of the season (I don't even know how to post pics on here anymore from flickr!): http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbarrington/4202788845/ Gifts are bought (waiting on lots of them to be delivered), most are wrapped, bring on Christmas 2009!

Watching football with K, Anna exclaims, "I'm voting for the Sandy Diego Packers".

Think I might have to make this!

This is what kind of day it's been:



Both locks on my car doors were frozen shut this morning. Couldn't get them open. Phil climbed in through the back and over the back seat for me and luckily we were able to pull the locks up.



Dentist. Joy.



Waited half an hour past my appointment time to be seen.



New dentist btw, my last dentist (who apparently wasn't that good... more on that in a minute) wasn't covered when my company switched insurance companies and I'd been lagging on finding a new one. Mainly because there wasn't one closer than like Hendersonville and I was lazy, but then it was like two years later and I was like, uh... I really should find another dentist. haha but this time the other dentist in Old Hickory was covered so yay. New dental hygenist (old dentist did the cleanings himself, in & out in under half an hour) was suuuuuuuper thorough. I was in the chair for 45 minutes. Then the dentist himself comes in and is like uh... you have a ton of cavities and your wisdom teeth really need to come out. Which is completely different from what I got 2 years ago at my last appointment - teeth look great, no cavities! Is it possible for that many to pop up that soon? I don't get it. Anyway, gotta figure out if my insurance will cover me going to an oral surgeon so they can knock me out because there's no way in hell I'm going to be awake for THAT.



Oh, and I left the house wearing two different shoes. haha



But I did just realize that it's Thursday and all my shows are on (excepting Supernatural but that just means I can watch Fringe on the TV instead of the computer) so I have that going for me.
