Why did I bother cleaning the kitchen last night?

I was going to update my journal today, but got distracted making dinner. My degree of success in this endeavor remains to be seen, since I hate buying onions and instead begrudgingly sprinkle in a few flakes of dried ones and nearly always end up regretting it, as dried onions are horrible and strong. Also I'm using a kettle instead of a skillet,

That picture of the chicken parmiagana looked insanely delicious. How do you say "parmiagana" anyway? I keep looking at it and wanting to say "pig" in there somewhere and that's definitely not right.

And I'm going to the dentist next week . . . aieeee! It's pretty bad when I can SEE cavities. Like, four of them. Maybe. On just the bottom teeth, since I can't get a good glimpse of the top. Maybe they're just spots that will come off in the cleaning? I really hope so cause we don't have dental insurance.

Parmigiana = "par-mih-john-uh." Gia always makes the juh sound in Italian. Like when they name their kid Giacco and it's like Jach-o (a very questionable name if you ask me, but not nearly as questionable as the French Thierry for a boy).

Maybe they're just stains! I used to get those sometimes, and I would be terrified that they were cavities, and then they weren't. You know what's not fair, though, is having gibbled teeth so that they get cavities no matter how diligently you care for them. I think we've had this discussion before, so I will say no more. Except that I will forever feel nothing but disgust towards the people who brag about never having had a cavity but spend 30 seconds brushing their teeth per day and never floss.

Yes, we have had this conversation. I grumble about it to Jackie/Jeremy/Briana all the time. None of which EVER floss their teeth and brush for maybe 30 seconds.

AND drink lots of pop, and in the case of my friends around here, coffee too. I almost never drink pop!

Maybe one day there will be a reckoning. As we all step up to the pearly gates, people like you and me will get giant Patience trophies.
