Wisdom Teeth Extraction: What Can I Expect? (Updated.)
This entry has been republished with a correction and many…many post scripts. I am very excited to say that my long anticipated Wisdom Teeth consult is tomorrow. I’ve been in moderate to severe pain for a month now and am excited to get the ball rolling on removing that pain…forever. I guess that’s how you get over your fear of the dentist – stay in immense pain for a month. Then you’ll take Voldemort himself examining your teeth if but to give... Read More
Saying No
Sometimes I’m very glad that my memories of my own teenage years are so vivid. I can sincerely empathize with the pain and the emotional stress that they go through. I recall the anxiety of trying to keep my grades up while trying to also develop some sort of social life. I remember the wounds left behind when trying my best to find a place I fit in.

Maybe I Should Just Buy Myself One Of Those Barbie Heads?
Some daycare teacher when I was 9 taught me how to french braid. I’m not sure if there’s anything special about my hands, or if the joy I got out of playing with other girl’s long hair motivated me, but I had a knack for the braiding.

Fast-forward to high... Read More
Someone Who Is Actually Worse At Apologizing Then I Am
I recently wrote about how sometimes I suck at apologies. I came to the conclusion that if I have to add the, “but…” to my apology to defend my actions, then I’m probably not sorry. If I truly am sorry? Then I should leave that part out, no matter how much my pride wants to put it in there. Well…I’m glad to see I have celebrity company in this trend. It seems as though a certain A-list celebrity is also kinda crappy at apologies. I know I don’t... Read More
I’m Feeling Quite Awesome, Thank You Very Much
I recently shared out this entry written by a friend of mine from high school. It totally motivated me to finally re-paint NikkiZ’s Dora table, which I had been wanted to do for awhile now. I bought the table with some other furniture for dirt cheap in a post-Christmas Sale at Wal-Mart before AndyZ was born. I paid $50 for the whole set which included the table, stools, shelves and toddler bed. The table and stools are the only things we still have from the set. Since... Read More
