whew! i just spent the last 8 1/2 hours redoing my layout. it's kind gritty still, so if you find any gliches or just have some advice for me, please send some feedback. i had the most awful time trying to get the darn blog to skin the scrollbar. it's quite picky, you know? anyway, my boyfriend nick is coming for the weekend (from where you ask? well, he's attending summer school at ohio university) and he should be here within the next two hours. yay! then, we're going out to dinner with my friends amanda, tiffany, and candice. candice turned 20 and got engaged on monday, so we're gonna celebrate. yay! and i got paid today! yay again! well, this has just been an exhuberant entry, hasn't it? maybe it's because i know i'm not going to have to look at this stupid layout again for two whole days! yup, that's right, i'm going to ignore it until work on monday. it will be blissful....

anyone want to hit the hut with us tonight??

it's been a long day for me. this webpage design/building stuff is addictive. i think i need a support group, but maybe i'll just wait a day or two and see how it goes. anyone want me to link them?

i had to go to the dentist yesterday. unlike most people, going to the dentist never really bothered me. until yesterday that is. first of all, i had to take time off from work, then there were no parking places in front of the building. that was ok, i thought, because the building sits on a hill where you have to park at an impossible angle and pray your car door doesn't slam back on you and squish you when you get out. so i parked around the corner.

when i went in, the receptionist (who always remembers my name because her name is Teresa too) told me that they were running behind today, but that they would squeeze me in. great, i thought. i had only taken one hour off. i setted down on the early 90's pastel couch and proceeded to read natural history magazine, being the geek that i am. is that all they had, you ask? no, they had virtually every magazine anyone could ever desire, but after glancing at an old issue of Time and an ancient Seventeen, i settled on natural history.

it was pretty interesting, except for the occasional disturbance of wet suction noises from farther back in the office. after 40 minutes, i was called in. my regular hygienist missy was off for the day and some clumsy-but-perpetually-cheerful young blond chick scraped my teeth. she didn't even do a good job, and she dissed my oral hygiene. she said i need to floss more often. when she was finally finished and the dentist came in, he said i had been blessed with good teeth. i wanted to take that compliment and shove it down her tripping-over-the-trashcan throat.

ooh, that was long. agression is fruitful! at least i got a tooth brush and floss out of the deal. $88 and sore gums not-withstanding.
