I want to be an expert who appears on CBS Sunday Morning. I love the way their pieces are written and edited on that show. Thus I want to be one of their experts who appear in a segment.

So two *more* of my teeth have been hurting and because they're hurting the same way, I have a feeling that means I'll have to get 2 more root canals. Which sucks, because it would be on the roof of my mouth and the shots to numb that up hurt like a motherfucker. I mean, just thinking about it hurts my mouth. Shots in the cheek or on the bottom part of my mouth don't hurt as much as the roof. I actually screamed when I got my last root canal when they put the shot in. Matt heard me scream in the waiting room. Eep.

Dad is back from Japan. I made him a welcome home sign when I went to pick him up at the airport. He really seemed to like it. He got lots of cool Hello Kitty stuff for me. :D Very fun.

I tried to help wrangle some dogs that were loose in the neighborhood today. They had collars and tags on, so I wanted to get them so we could see where they belonged and call their owners. But the dogs kept running away from me. I followed them for a while down the street, but they really didn't want to be caught, so I eventually gave up. I just hate dogs getting loose in our neighborhood because we live on such a busy street and cars drive too fast around here. :( But they finally got off our street and went into some of the back streets and that's where I left them. If I hadn't had to cross the street I would have used Zoe to lure them to me, since she's such a friendly dog.

It just makes me sad to see dogs walking around, obviously not at home. I know how sad I was when Lucy ran away the first night we got her. I definitely don't think she'd run away now, but if she did, oh crap. I would be even worse than I was that first night.

Speaking of Lucy she's now pushing up against me. I better go get to pettin her cause she won't stop!

Well, it's better than it was. I had to get a root canal yesterday. :( I was not happy. It actually didn't turn out as bad as I had thought it would be. Totally glad for the invention of Novacaine, that's for sure. & I only got faint once. So that's good.

Also, no more job worries for me. Well, at least at the job I've talked about on here, because I got laid off on Thursday. Totally lame and I'm totally gonna make sure that they at least know you don't treat people the way they treated me. But I'm looking at it as a positive thing. I hated it, and this way I'm not miserable while I'm looking for a new job. Of course, there's the fear of not finding something fast enough and bills coming in and all. But I did sign up for unemployment and really I can always sign up for temp work. I've definitely got the experience for it. So I'm just battling the fear that creeps into my head every now and then.

Those are the most interesting things in my life right now. I spend my mornings sending out resumes. Well, my nights too really. I'm nursing my tooth. I'll be glad when the pain is gone cause I can start working on the house. It needs to be picked up. The dogs are keeping me company. It's nice to have them around while I'm home by myself during the day. Doesn't make me feel like such a loser. Even though I know it's not my fault that I lost my job, I still feel like a loser. It's a blow to the ego, definitely.
