Great Moment
It was a whirlwind of a week but it ended nicely.
On Friday I visited my dentist who told me that I still needed my every 4 month teeth cleanings - an extra 200.00 a year ;( because it helps my teeth out a lot. I will go 3 times a year - not 4 though. My teeth are doing ok - which is great. 
I’m a bit anal about my teeth.
Ok, that was a crazy sentence.
But it’s true. I’m a freak about dental hygiene…. I’ve got boulders in there but hey - at least there’s no bad breath and yellow teeth. Ugh.
Then I hit up a different venue for the botox shot. Yep, ain’t no recession goin’ on when it comes to face management especially when you’re still trying to hustle a husband. I must say though - it cost me quite a bit less than my regular dermatologist. It was 240.00 for the crows feet shot by a an MD at UCSF. I guess it’s their way of making a little extra. I stood next to a willowy brunette whose face looked ’stretched’ to say the least. She was as tight as a drum…
But what’s great is it’s gonna take a good 5-6 months before I have to do it again and it’s a lot less than before….
Then as the day progressed I met up with Long Beach and WOW she’s pregnant again 11 weeks…. She miscarried for her first time so we’re all honoring her and wishing her the best.
I had a sweet time with her - we went to see Toni interviewed by Michael Krasney (NPR guru) and she was absolutely fabulous - friendly, warm, personable - funny - she tickled herself and laughed so much during her time. It was a true pleasure to see the only living American Nobel Laureate So proud to see her. It was a great moment.
So this morning, dropped sweet LB at the airport and she sold me her books for the LCSW exam.
Then I went into work and met up with Shopaholic. We both grinded from 11:00-4:00pm - taking a short break for lunch. It was fairly productive - but honestly I don’t think you can ever get truly completely caught up?
Oh well.
Tomorrow I’m flying out to Denver for that monthly nonsense and flying back again on Monday with teenie bopper in tow. Couldn’t do a round trip in one day because I’ve been feeling sniffly so I’m glad I did this for myself…
Shopaholic gave me her copy of Mercy - Toni’s new book and I can’t wait to read it tomorrow! So great.
Seems like the goddamn grooming never ends - now the greys are peppering my hairline like nobody’s business but I know to do it right I’ll be sporting a Munster hairline so I have to do it next week ;( so I can wear a hat for about 3 days. GEEZ.
Exercise.
Still haven’t gotten around to that yet and it’s really impacting my mood as well as my growing waistline. NOT CUTE.
But I’m feeling in control of my work so that’s good.
Just gotta get that other stuff in line…

Sparkly teeth and smooth skin will attract one kind of man, but I’m glad to see you’re not slouching on exercising what will attract the most worthy type of man — you brainpower, sister!
I am SO jealous you are reading A Mercy - I saw it in hardcover in London and it was $45 so I held back (it’s also quite a small book so it seemed ridiculous to pay that). Maybe if Toni was getting the money directly I’d do it, but I knew it was a chain bookstore making the profit… I’ll have to wait a few more months to find it in paper…

I love a day at the dentist. I go all the time too as I am also a freak about my teeth. I remember a dentist telling me one time that nothing will age you faster than bad teeth.
The botox sounds great, I need to get there again, but have put it off cause of the cost..need to investigate further.
Love ya babes

Oh yeah, good luck on your flight to Denver.
I am trying a new skin regime, it is called Philosophy and got it at Sephora and BAM, does it ever make your skin beautiful.
Pricey but worth it..
Of course I am not discounting the botox, that is next
