Apologies for lame update post but there just is no time right now....

1. Last week I went on my first rescue squad call. Lights and sirens and everything. Wooo!

2. The godawful motherfucking wallpaper is gone! I've finally finished, using the iron/DIF/wine method. (Remove top layer by steaming with iron and bottom layer by squirting with DIF. Throughout process, guzzle wine.) And this week is spring break, so I'm working my ass off on the rest of the kitchen.

3. I'm back on track with the dentist. No cavities! And the hygienist says we can just forget that one ever happened. And I got brownie points for my choice of gum. She asked if I chew gum, and I told her I chew sugarfree. "Do you know which brand?" she asked.

"Orbit."

She smiled and nodded her head in approval.

"Is that a good one?" I asked.

"A very good one," she praised.

In other words, I get an A+.

(Which reminds me of a recent mini-story. We were having a conversation with my family about blood types. I asked Rob what his blood type was, and he said, "I think I have A-plus." And I chuckled and said, "You mean A positive?" And he said, "I guess. All I know is the card says A-plus." My brother laughed, then rolled his eyes and said, "Geez, even Rob's blood is really smart.")
