Root of The Problem, Blood
I got back from Donna's on July 2nd. I basically want to summarize the little bit of stuff that's gone on since I got here.
Root of the Problem
The big thing I wanted to get accomplished while I was here was getting my hideous tooth repaired. Half of it's missing. By the time I was able to actually get an appointment w/ a dentist who said they could do my filling (on another tooth) within a day of the consultation, it was too late to get the other one fixed. Why? Apparently I need a root canal, ow. I've never had one, I heard they're painful, but my dad says it's not that bad. Plus I have a high physical pain threshold. Anyway I can't get it done while I'm back because I head back to MD w/ Donna next Friday & you have to come back 2 weeks after the first procedure to finish it. I did get the tooth filled on Friday though & it wasn't too bad. Yes, it was my first cavity & I'm 24, so that's not so bad.
Blood
I donated blood at the hospital yesterday after I got my cavity filled. It always takes so long. Probably one of the reasons I haven't donated since last October. She missed my vein the first time & I'm a little bruised, but big deal it's important to donate blood. Plus sometimes you get a good story. I always like to talk about the first time I went & I almost fainted getting off the cot, so they yelled "Prefaint" like it was an emergency, stuck me on this thing that looks like you should be moving furniture w/ it, & wheeled me to the snack table. Then I proceeded to actually faint for a second at the snack table. That was pretty embarrassing. Luckily nothing like that's happened since. This time it was mainly hospital staff donating. This totally hot young guy was sitting across from me waiting. I looked at his tag to see what he did & it said attending. OMG, a completely hot funny young doctor. I'm too much of a wimp to do anything though. I know he was funny cause he was talking to the elderly lady who always mans the snack table at these things.
Activities Parentus
I've been doing some stuff w/ my parents to spend time w/ them. First we had a cookout on the 4th. We had to eat fast cause it was about to storm, but the food was good. I went to the Chinese buffett w/ my mom, which is her favorite restaurant. We went on a Saturday & everything was nice & fresh. Never go on a Monday, I swear it's the food that's leftover from all weekend. My dad & I went to the big flea market we don't usually go to (it's further than the other one) & I picked up some stuff for Donna's bday. Plus they had sno cones this year. Yes, I got chocolate, my favorite. Aside from that I've been picking up a bunch of stuff for Donna's bday. I even DIYd some gifts, so that's cool. I also saw 1408 & thought it was pretty good. I'd read the short story years ago, but didn't really remember much going in. I reread it afterward & they definitely added some stuff & changed some stuff, but they both had the creepy vibe. John Cusack is starting to look a little old, but I still like him. I should also add that my dad likes to do funny stuff w/ my dog. So look below for pics of him playing w/ part of a rubber hose & hiding in a box during a storm.
Crazy Double
I went to bingo w/ my mom three times. We only won over what we spent once. I like to go to spend time w/ her though. She's in her element there. You know there are a lot of characters at bingo. I will just say that they didn't have cute Hog Roast shirts for sale this year, which I wanted & the cute underage kid wasn't wearing his huge shoes for some reason. Plus at the other bingo the 2 ladies we sit w/ warned me against exclusively seeing a guy, then balked at my luau pic w/ Jason & Mike. Yeah, I have nothing going w/ either of them, so that was kind of funny. They also mentioned that I looked like my trip had done me well. Apparently excessive drinking makes me look better.
I've also been posting a bunch of entries I wrote while at Donna's. So if you want to know what we were up to, you can just scan my journal. Or just scan it to look at the pics & slideshows I posted. There was a lot of drinking involved.
