Jenny Rapson DDS

As it turns out, Jenny was right all along.

Yesterday I returned to the dentist’s office because I couldn’t take the pain any longer. As he prepared to do a root canal, I mentioned one last time that my gum was sore and that I had felt something sharp. He stopped what he was doing, did some poking around, and what do you know…

He pulled a piece of my bone right out.

Evidently a little bone chip had been floating around in my mouth since I’d had my wisdom teeth extracted circa 1999. It had just taken 13 years for it to make its way to the surface.

So, with that out, we decided to wait on the root canal (or, as the dentist now suspects will eventually be necessary, extraction) because the root of my tooth is for sure dead, but it may not have been the source of my pain.

Based on the last 12 hours? I think issue is solved.

I should have just let Jenny pull it out 10 days ago!

Can I borrow your Xanax?

I don’t know if it would be Jenny or me who would use it, but one of us is going to need to.

You see, Thursday we’re flying to Miami. And Sunday we’re flying home.

Which means, chemicals are in order.

Jenny is a bit of a nervous flyer. She’s also nervous about:

Missing our flight out of Dayton. Because, you know… well, I don’t know what could possibly happen to cause that, but whatever.
Missing our connection out of Atlanta. We have an hour and 45 minutes between flights, and both are Delta so I’d imagine the gates are both in concourse B. (ATL and I are going to be BFF after this week is over, as I will have been there four times in 11 days.)
Our luggage not arriving. I would say this is #1 on Jenny’s “things to freak out about” list. Basically, I think, because our luggage will contain our new fabulous Lands’ End wardrobes. And let’s face it, losing them would be tragic. However I don’t think it’s likely to happen!
Missing the Mom 2.0 White Party. Again, not sure what she thinks might happen, but believe me she is all hyped up about it.
— (This one might be my favorite.) A super-awesome person might ask Jenny to go on a photo walk, and Jenny won’t have anything to wear because all our LE clothes are dresses. Do not ask me how she dreamed that one up, but she was serious enough about it that she ordered a pair of LE shorts just in case.

What am I missing, Jen?

On the other hand, my list of much-more-reasonable stressors is as follows (shockingly, most are of the social variety):
Flying with Jenny. Fortunately, thanks to my stint in first class last week, I know that Delta serves vodka tonics. $7 a pop will be well worth it.
Hugging. I am so socially awkward that I never know when hugging is appropriate and when it’s not. Basically I never initiate hugs and then look like a jerk. Or at least I think I do.
People we don’t know not understanding that Jenny really does not take herself seriously. You see, she’s posted things like “I think I’m hilarious” and “I don’t know if you all have heard, I mean, you MAY have missed it but I think I’ve mentioned once or twice that Emily and I? Are FREAKING FABULOUS!” and whatnot and shameless self-promotion (even though she’s joking!) makes me nervous! But Jenny is about 1000 times less socially awkward than I am, so I’m sure it’ll all work out for her and she’ll have 45 new BFFs before the weekend is over.
Elevators. Jenny. Enough said.

So, yeah. Can I borrow your Xanax?

A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Words

Words with Friends? Soooooo yesterday. The interactive iPhone game du jour – DrawSomething. It’s basically the 2012 version of pictionary that doesn’t involve pencils or paper.

I just discovered it a few days ago and since then I’ve been obsessively having lots of fun playing with Tela and Celia.

I am really, really good at this game.

I mean, look at the picture I drew for Celia!

Celia decided this gem needed to be shared with the world, so she posted it to my facebook profile. Much hilarity and making-fun-of-Emily ensued. I didn’t want all of you to miss out on the fun, so I thought I’d share it here as well.

Who wants to play against me? I am willing to share my awesomeness. I invited Jenny to play but so far she hasn’t accepted. I don’t know why. She must be intimidated by my talent.

Oh, btw, the drawing up there? The word was pregnant. Get your minds out of the gutter!
