Good morning everyone. Got shorts out yesterday because it was 80* Friday. Now back in the 60's.

Yup, it's definitely been a Monday. The air conditioner on the car started acting up today, on what will be the hottest week so far this year. Then, I'd earned a Swagbucks reward, and the fast food place I took it to wouldn't redeem it. Apparently the new owners refused to install any software that accepts anything besides physical gift cards.

Our weather is more like end of June beginning of July this week, mid to upper 80's. That is actually kind of worrisome because we are already having fires.

A late Good Morning to you all! I had to get up early for a check-up at the dentist. You'll get to call me Princess again, because there's another crown in my future. But, it depends if my insurance will help to pay for it, if I decide to get it this year, or try to wait until next year. This getting older isn't for sissies.

Busy, if insurance won't cover, sometimes the dentist will negotiate a price. Doesn't hurt to ask.

busymom Sorry for the need for another crown. Thanks for mentioning the dentist. I had to call and pay my bill.

The dentist is one of my least favorite places to visit, ners. It probably goes back to bad experiences when I was a kid. It's one of the few places that can trigger an asthma attack for me, probably due to stress. Good Morning Kids! I'm up early, once again. I'm taking the car in the get the air conditioning fixed. It's tough being a responsible adult, but I try.

I got to sleep in slightly this morning. Instead of driving to the office I will be going to another location for an all day training session. Less commute and a later start, nice to do something different for a day.

I didn't get Novocain when I was a kid, either. And, I have sensitive teeth to boot. Remember how hot those old-style drills were when you had a cavity? That was in addition to the pain.

busymom I detest the dentist as well. I have learned it is a necessary evil. I hate the dentist so much one time I was training and the buzz word was "drill down" . I asked the trainer if he could change the word to delve deeper as drill down reminded me too much of the dentist. Trainer said it was inefficient since it was more syllables.

I don't even like anything where the sound is close to a dentist's drill, ners. It's worse than fingernails on a blackboard.

Good Morning Kids! Is it really Thursday already?
My dentist back in my home state told me the two best snacks for not doing damage to your teeth (they won't add to the decay) are nuts and cheese. But, cheese is bad if you've got problems with cholesterol (my family & friends with heart issues have told me), and if you bite into a hard nut, you can crack a tooth. I guess there are no perfect foods.

Mornin Muffins! Yep! I sure do miss those old dentist drills. (not) I take a pill for the cholesterol. So lots of cheese for me. Of course, I no longer get so many cavaties - metal doesn't decay.

Good Morning Kids! Happy Friday! DH, DS & I took a beach walk early this morning. It's going to heat up quickly, then we'll be getting rain later today. Hope you're feeling better ners. And Bluerobin, do you have allergies to tree pollen, grass, or both?

Hello my mothers of all peeps! Happy early Mother's Day to y'all! There will be brunch tomorrow! Got home from my triathlon at about 1:30 after a stop for lunch with a friend. Really hot out there this morning. It was an all women's race, which I'd never done before. Experienced athletes 50 and over actually got to go out in the first swim wave. Never had that chance before, so it was nice to be first for a change. I feel pretty good, just still getting fluids back. Doing a last load of laundry and beef stew with onions and carrots is in the crockpot. Making Yukon Gold mashed potatoes to go with that.

And it is official -- my washer needs an additional setting. I have grass, blood, wine, dirt, but I need stinky. Or seriously stinky. Or offensive. Or damned-your-clothes-are-gross.

I'm sorry I didn't realize you could smell me all the way across the country. I have mowed two lawns and have one deck swept, working on the second deck and the patio, had to stop for a bit to cool down. I am dirty, dusty, sweaty and down right stinky.

Ugh! I took DS and myself to get our hair trimmed, but the gal working on my hair took off more than I wanted. I didn't know one inch equals 4 inches in the back. It's a good thing it'll grow back, but it'll probably take most of the Summer. DH mowed our lawn yesterday, and came into the house afterwards just dripping in sweat. Which frankly, is unusual for him. So yes, I need a "sweaty clothes" setting, too.
