Raise the Roof

Mmm I love rotting my teeth.

I've been OD-ing on Dumdum suckers the past few days. I just love them so! And at work there was a ginormous bag on sale for 2 bucks, how could I say no to that? Though I haven't opened it yet, I'm still working on the one I bought at Halloween. But it's down to two suckers.

I'm a bad candy eater. I don't eat a lot of it. Which I guess in the eyes of a dentist makes me a good candy eater. But in the eyes of Lauren I'm a bad person. I rarely finish a box of candy I get for a movie. Drives her nuts I can hold on to candy for so long. Though my teeth love me for it. No cavities ever! Woot! The only work I've ever had done on them were braces and wisdom teeth being pulled.

But suckers, ooooh suckers. They are the dark wizard of dental hell for me. Engulfing me in that magical spell of sugar on a stick. My weakness. They will be the ones to bring down my perfect record. And I'm guessing in the spectrum of things, suckers rank up there on the list of really bad candy. Next to something that sticks like laffy taffy...and I love me some laffy taffy! Gum also is on the list of things that are out to get me. But hey, according to the package my gum of choice is accepted by the ADA. Sweet. And I also figure chewing gum is better then chain smoking cigarettes which I'm almost certain I'd do if I didn't chew gum.

Ok enough about the suckers already.

I remember something I was going to say yesterday! Yay! It's about iPods and how useful they are. Yes they are great because I get to soundtrack my life like I'm in a movie but they have hidden goodness. Like I can be walking, doing my own thing, and in front of me I hear someone having a juicy convo. So I go ahead, turn the volume down and eavesdrop. Oh yeah. It's nice. And on the flip side, I can use it as an excuse. Oh what's that? You said something to me? No sorry I didn't hear you I had my music on and wasn't really paying attention. Sorry. Works like a charm.

Random alert: I love to say endoplasmic reticulum. Fabulous word combination. Biology is full of fun words, perhaps I'm going in the wrong direction. My love affair with words would be better suited in a science field. I could just say all sorts of cool things. Hemophiliac. Photosynthesis. Polypeptide chain. Xylem. Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, Cambrian. (totally remembered that when I took geology last year as DSOC. Dakota State Orange County)

Ok enough with the words I guess. I've made my point...with some over kill.

OH I FORGOT THE BEST NEWS!
I got a raise. Snatch! How sweet is that?! Pretty sweet. Sure if I was working there full time I'd probably be below the poverty line or damn close to it but still. A raise! And a biggy too! Went from 7.85 an hour to 8.15. Yeah. Last time I got a raise it was 10 cents. (That means I make 12.25 on Sundays and recognized holidays for those of you keeping track at home...which would be weird if you were)

I got stuff to do. Keep cool my babies.
