25 Random Things about Me

Ok so I was tagged on Facebook to do this and thought I'd post it here too for fun! I wont be tagging 25 people since I don't know 25 people on blogs but if you like it please try it too!

Rules:
Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

I confess, I'm a self made wimp

Yup I admit it. I'm a wimp.

So I'm sitting in the dentist chair yesterday and freakin out. I was pretty much in tears and they hadn't started anything yet. But I can say I love my new dentist! She is sooo kind. She definatly made me feel very comfortable the whole time and it didn't hurt at all!! Well the needle to freeze did hurt a bit but not much.

Someone asked me what it was like and I had never been frozen before and I sat there as they were working watching "Little People Big World" I can say I love the TV at the dentist and it felt like a c-section happening on my mouth. Yup what a way to describe it, you feel nothing but pressure and that is exactly how my c-section went. I said that to D and he laughed and said so that's how it feels to have a baby. He said when he has his root canal next week he's going to think about that the whole time and it will be hard not to laugh!

Coming home was fun. I stopped in at Safeway for a few things and I couldn't really talk it was definatly weird. I felt like I was walking around all deformed and drool coming out of my mouth but I didn't. I felt like I had a nice fat lip! It took a while for that freezing to come out also. When I left the dentist they said it should start coming out probably 30 minutes from that time... they were wrong... it was like 2 hours later! That's ok though.

Now I know if I ever need another one I don't have to be such a chicken but I know I still wont be looking forward to it either.

A what, a root canal?

So I have a strong dislike for the dentist, very strong. I have such a weak gag reflex that even them cleaning my teeth causes me major stress!

I hadn't been to the dentist in about 5 years and one of my teeth were bugging me so D made me an appointment at his dentist and told them how scared I was! I went back in November for a "check-up" they just did x-rays and such. It wasn't so bad. But the first word out of the dentist's mouth is Root Canal. Yup I heard that and basically just blocked out everything else and I almost started crying there.

Back in grade 3 I was running down a hill and fell flat on my face and busted my two front teeth. It was a funny split. I busted half of each tooth in a downward angle. It was weird!

Well turns out I need a root canal on one of those. My dentist before said it was fine but this one noticed that I have a little bump up there and she was surprised I never noticed and it didn't bug me. So needless to say I made an appointment for it. The funny thing was this appointment was going to be before my first teeth cleaning. About 3 days before I chickened out, called them and cancelled. I told them I was too scared and I needed to atleast have a cleaning first. December I had the cleaning, it went pretty good! I was so proud of myself. So I booked the root canal... and the day has arrived. I have to go for it. I had trouble falling asleep last night just thinking about it I don't think I've ever been this stressed. I wasn't even this stressed being in labor!

Oh and to make it worse... my appointment was supposed to be at 11 and they called an postponed it till 12:30... talk about making the stressed out more stressed out!

Decluttering

Ok I need help. I have decided enough is enough. I need to declutter my house. I'm tired of having so much crap and not knowing what to do with it. I don't even know where to begin. I want to start with my kitchen but I know I really need to start with all the papers and crap in our spare room.

Ever since our "office" became E's room I have felt sooo disorganized. Everything from that room went into the spare room and the basement. We have partially finished the basement so that is starting to come together and be organized but there is still stuff in that spare room that I don't know what to do with. Don't know where to start. But to give you an idea, I've got stuff in there from our wedding preparations, and the room hasn't been organized since May and I have obviously not needed anything yet I'm afraid to shred and toss everything.

So where do I begin? Is there websites out there dedicated to decluttering? I'm sure I'm making my house sound worse then it really is but to me lately I am so frazzled. I just need to do something. I don't know if it's because I'm tired of tripping over the baby toys and I know this is just the beginning! I mean really she's 7 month's old I know it's going to get worse with the toys!! LOL

I think the hard part is doing it by myself. E is not a good napper so at best I get 40 minutes so I can't really get much done in that time. If I start something and can't get it done during her naps then I know it will take me a few days to go back to it. I just need some motivation!! HELP ME!!

Yeah!! I've been tagged!!

Thanks Bobbi!! I'm excited I've never been "tagged" in a blog before talk about making my day! But how ironic that it was just after my post on needing more interesting things going on? LOL

So I started this yesterday and had to take a break. I realized I had no friends, no blog friends that is. I'm still new to this whole thing so I didn't have many blogs I was following... count them.. 2. I solved that! I turned to my most favorite trusting website in the world...weddingbells. I found this site while planning my wedding (yes that was awhile ago) and it's an addiction I tell you. A big one. You can find the answers to anything on this website and the women are great. So I put the call out there for friends (sounds a little desperate doesn't it?) and I have lots! Thanks ladies!

So here we go!

6 (un) interesting things about me...

1. I LOOOOOOVE Peanut Butter. I wouldn't know what to do if my kid ever had a peanut allergy.
2. I love the biggest loser and secretly wish I could be on the show but I know I wouldn't survive that long away from my friends and family. And Jillian would make me cry, though I would want her as a trainer because she beats the crap out of her team!
3. I went to the New Kids concert this past year and it was the highlight of my year (oh wait! Other then the birth of my daughter)
4. I love road trips.
5. I am the best map reader around and love to search out different paths on our road trips.
6. I can't sleep a full night, I wake up at least 3 times.


So.... I'm going to tag:


1. Kelly (Kel, here's the nudge to get you back into it!)
2. Shannon
3. Kenzie
4. Deanne
5. Carly
6. Tatiana

Have fun!!

MIA

Yes, yes I know. I've been MIA. No real excuse either other then not having much to say!

We took a trip to Lethbridge the weekend of the 10th. Did my first real Tupperware party in about a year. I was freakin nervous but I did do ok. And as a result I know how another party down there, thank you Mandy :) I also have 2 other parties this month. I'm really excited. I know the opportunites are HUGE in Tupperware, enough that I wouldn't have to go back to work if I tried hard enough. It's just a matter of getting my act together.

Today E and I started swimming lessons. Oh she had a blast! This girl is made for the water. She was happy and kicking the whole time, loves the songs, and games! Even loved being dunked under water! She was a little shocked at first but then just started laughing! It was so much fun.

Other then that... nothing has been going on! We were sick last week for a good week and a bit! But are finally over it! Seems to be going around big time.

Hmm I guess that's it! I guess I'll have to start having a more exciting life to talk about more often!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Years!

Ok so I'm a little late on the Merry Christmas part! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas! We did. E got very very spoiled! I don't know where we are going to put everything! I'm very glad that D and I didn't go overboard on buying gifts we left that to our families!

I got sick on Christmas so that wasn't fun. I woke up Christmas morning feeling gross and had to cook dinner for 15 people!! Not fun I say. I stayed sick for the next 2 days after that also. I'm glad D was home to help out because I really wasn't feeling up to moving or anything but I'm all better now!

Tonight is New Years Eve! Happy New Years! We are staying in and relaxing. I wasn't very smart because I booked E's 6 month shots today. Yes, yes I know. I wasn't thinking when they told me the date. Not like we are going anywhere tonight anways. We'll sit at home and watch some movies and that is about it. Maybe order in Chinese food, we'll see what we feel like when D gets home from work.

I hope you all have a safe but fun New Years Eve!! Talk to you next year!
