Google Wave and The Dentist...Two Peas in a Pod

I don't get it...I'm not one to give up easily but the stupid thing keeps telling me I am offline. Obviously, if I am viewing the page then I am online. If you have any clue how to use Google Wave then please comment on this post. 


Anyhooooo, I thought going to the dentist would be the low point of my day but Wave has taken it's spot on the lowest rung.  Southern dentists refuse to let you leave the office without a $7000 treatment plan. In NY, the dentist takes your money and tells you to come back in 6 months. The Southern dentist attempts to convince you that you need to whiten your teeth, get 2 crowns, root canal and remove your remaining wisdom teeth. My Second NY dentist told me that I could keep my wisdom teeth if I wanted to. By the way if the dentist gives you the option to be awake for the 20 minute procedure, don't do it! The pain was not awful but the crunching sound of the teeth is worse than any other noise in the entire world. I took a xanax and wore an iPod but I will never forget that noise. I tried to go back the following week but when I was told the dentist was an hour behind, I ran not walked out of the office. Hence, why I had a second NY dentist. At least the Southern dentist gave me a pretty neon green toothbrush for listening to all the ways he wanted to torment me further!

NYP, Daily News & Shirts Have Arrived!

Huge thank you to the best Mom/Mother-in-Law in the world! She went to two bodegas and the post office at 7am on Thursday mornng. Finally found Yankees World Champions shirts in Charlotte. My husband was a big help in finding the, needle in a haystack, 600 miles from New York. Went to pick them up after work and they look awesome. Almost as good as it looked on Jeter...almost!


Wish I could receive The Post in print everyday because the web version does not do it justice. I like to fold it a certain way and read it on the train. The newsprint on my hands is annoying but a great feeling. I guess it makes me feel like I'm grown. Remembering when my dad used to read the local paper with a glass of orange juice and make quips about what he had just read. That is whatI see when I hold a paper in my hands. Okay, that's just sappy but my point is clear. Reading the print version of the paper is not as popular as it used to be, but it still only costs 50 cents. Besides 30 minutes at a parking meter in Great Neck (Long Island), what else can you buy for 50 cents? Maybe half of a small fry at McD's...


Missing my daily dose of The Post...

I Cried. Twice this Week

I don't cry unless I'm hurt, for instance I walk into coffee tables like it is my job. I cry for the loss of a life. Never have I cried for two reasons that neither I or the G-d of my choosing could alter. Until Thursday!

Work up with the alarm clock even though I stayed up to watch the Yankees win the World Series. Brushed my teeth, Listerne'd...yada yada. Out of nowhere, waterfalls. I was crying because I was unable to attend the Yankees parade. Yes, I was aware it would be on television but for some reason crying seemed to be the only option. My husband, who already thinks I am slightly Looney Tunes, tells me that he will DVR the parade and there is no justifiable reason to stand on B'way with 3 million people. He was right and I knew it but the tears kept rolling. This scene was not half as bad as what I did on Friday...


Went to the Old Navy on my lunch hour to find a pair of jeans that fit because 3 people could fit into the pair I was wearing. I know, that should be my biggest worry...but seriously, it is & this field trip get's better. Looked at the sizing charts and noticed they stopped making short length for sizes 0-2. Two options at this point, find a tub of cream cheese at the Target next door and shove it down or ask a sales associate if the chart was true. I opted for the latter. Apparently, the men (could not be a woman who made this decision) at the home office decided to cease making those sizes. Hello...have you ever been to NY? I am tall and fat there! Calm down Emmy, be rational. I had no other retorts so I left the store and called my husband. My favorite man with the Bachelor of Arts degree always knows what to say. "Always" may be overstating it because he bombed on this problem:

"You should buy the size 4 short or size 1 regular and take them to the dry cleaner to be hemmed."

Okay, I am going to spend $19.99 on jeans and $12 to hem them? I should just invest in a pair of $120 jeans and then spend $12 to hem them. At least it would seem cheaper to customize them. This was the point where I started to cry. I even contemplated eating that tub of cream cheese again to fit into a size 4 short. Nope, that idea was a fleeting thought. My alternative was to sing Empire State of Mind at the top of my lungs and cry like a drama queen.

Both of my problems would be solved in NY but I came to terms that I am living in Confederate territory and I needed to deal with it.*Sigh* NC lost major points on my pros and cons list on this endeavor! Next step, write a letter to The Gap (parent company of Old Navy, Banana Republic and Gap) and throw a hissy fit. :D

Until Tomorrow,

A Tale of Two Jeters

Tonight the boys from the Bronx make their 2nd attempt at winning a game 4. I just remembered I forgot to vote yesterday and re-elect Council(man/woman) Jeter. That's right, I don't have a clue if it's a man or woman but with the last name Jeter you cannot go wrong. Maybe it is a good thing I didn't vote because I would not have been making an educated decision.On a positive yet odd note, Charlotte elected only the 2nd Black mayor. Yes, it is the South but I am shocked he is only the 2nd. Congrats Sir..yep, don't know his name either. I watch the news during lunch while I eat and tweet. Today I managed to add reading USA Today into that already busy hour.

Two hours until my favorite Jeter takes the field. I would never forget to vote for this Jeter!


Until Tomorrow,

Interesting Encounter

Overheard at the Store this morning. A mother to her son.: You can't live off of cereal. You need vegetables, too.

I beg to differ my Southern friend, unless you are feeding the child Fruit Loops or Apple Jacks. Crispix or Corn Flakes with fresh fruit is healthy and delicious for breakfast or the occasional dinner breakfast. Sausage Gravy and Biscuits has more fat and cholesterol than a Big Mac with Lettuce & Tomato! Alright, I will get off my soapbox now.

Halloween was a bust because my husband fell asleep. My Goodwill costume was June Cleaver and I would have made a great happy, smiley, bitch. She ruined lazy wife-ness for all of us but I was going to be her for a few hours just to see what it would be like walking in her shoes. At least, I was able to watch the entire Yankee game so no love lost.

Until Tomorrow,
