If I could title today, it would be Marisa and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
INT: DENTIST'S OFFICE -- DAY
Marisa is laying down on the dentist's chair for her basic cleaning. There is a dental hygienist looking through Marisa's file.
HYGIENIST: (stretching)
I'm sore from starting up kickboxing again. Oh, and the basic clean you scheduled is now going be a deep clean because you waited a year in-between visits. Have you heard of 'The Cavinator?" Get ready because you're going to get a facial from all the splattering water!
Marisa trembles with fear and you can tell her mind is racing.
MARISA:
Gulp. I hate facials.
This photo I'm sharing is one of the most unattractive shots I've ever seen of myself (sneaky iPhone photo in-between quadrant scaling, laying down on the dentist's chair, while the really nice, in post-workout mode, hygienist was refilling "the cavinator". Yes, "the cavinator" exists - it wasn't just for my faux movie scene. I had to share because A, we're close pals and B, I hope none of you have to experience the toothal pain I felt today.
I tend to floss less regularly than I should. I tend to fall asleep on my couch blogging and then drag myself to my bed at 3am and skip flossing for a brushing when that happens. After today, that will never be an excuse. I'm ordering a Waterpik and am going to be on a flossing rampage. Queen of floss? That has a ring to it!
Because today hurt my face and I've only had liquids and the toppings from a frozen pizza, I'm going to do a giveaway!! I figured this would make others happier than I am at this moment - and for the next 24 hours per my hygienist - offering up a final batch of fabric samples, some Velcro, and a little travel-friendly sewing kit!!
Let's just say that today's events have given me a new lease on being appointment diligent. Planning future visits - already in the books because I'm not allowing my teeth to play another mean joke on me. Do you guys have one of these? Share with me a mean joke/frustrating moment/your Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in the comments below to win the goodies. A random winner will be chosen next week. (Congrats to Blair Burnette for winning last week's goodies!)
Back on the saddle sewing machine tomorrow and lesson of the day...
"FLOSS YO GUMS".
