This week with the Shaw's

Wow, what a crazy week!!!

Last weekend, Josh and I decided to celebrate our upcoming anniversary by purchasing a Wii!! What fun!? Who knew a child's toy could provide so much entertainment... but I guess it could be for both kids and adults, especially when you purchase Wii Fit! (which of course, I had to have)

Then Tuesday, I was off, so I cleaned house, got my hair highlighted (VERY BLONDE) and got ready for an anniversary date with my husband! We ended up going out with friends to celebrate and what a great time we had. It was also Cinco De Mayo, so that made the night even more lively!!

Wednesday, is when the real fun began... (sarcasm)... I decided for lunch that day, I would have a Quizno's salad, which I haven't had in ages! I was sooo excited about my chipotle chicken salad, until it happened. The one thing I have dreaded since high school when I found out I would have to have a bridge. OUCH!!! My tooth completely cracked right in the front of my mouth. Thankfully, the bridge was still attached to another tooth so it wasn't too noticeable, and I was able to get into the dentist quickly.

Then the shocker came when I went to the dentist on Thursday. You would not BELIEVE how much a procedure like this costs and the time it takes to fix it!! Just today, I had to have 3-4 shots in my gum, my existing bridge removed, and multiple impressions taken of my mouth. Now I have a temporary bridge and have to go back in a week for custom color and go back in 2 weeks to get the actual replacement!! Who would have thought so much would be involved!??! The dentist also informed me that the average life of a bridge is 12 years, so you can see what I have to look foward to in upcoming years!! UGH!!

All I know is I will be stearing clear of Quizno's in the near future. (I know it wasn't the restaurant's fault, exactly, but it's not an experience I care to repeat) Let's just hope the rest of our week ends on a better note!!

  1. So glad to hear you're enjoying your Wii, but sorry to hear about your tooth. I HATE visits to the dentist -- they're the worst! (Hey - what happened to you guys coming to Austin?!?)
