We’ve had a very busy day! 

I had to go back to the dentist and it was most unpleasant! It ended with me crying. I thought this visit was just to finish up what he could not fix last week and come to find out there was more to it. Even though I was the one crying and in pain, I felt so bad for him and his assistant, because they felt terrible and kept telling me they were sorry.

We spent the day with my sister-in-law and her sweet babies. She had a dentist appointment today too, but she’s a big girl and can go without the help of medication. 

Well, that’s about it. Nothing much really went on today. I did stop back by goodwill to pick up a couple of candle holders to paint red. I feel like our living room just needs color and I think red will be really pretty with the black.  

Remember Jennifer, the girl I “met” here in blogland, and was like, sitting right beside of her  at the beach and didn’t know it? Well, she tagged me for this fun little meme!
