Happy Hump/Ash Wednesday Day :)
I've been having consistant tooth pain in the tooth that I had a root canal on this past fall. For the last 2 weeks, I haven't been able to eat on the left side of my mouth. Which is totally inconvinient. I walked in to see my dentist this afternoon, and they took an x-ray of my tooth. Apparently, they missed one of the canals in that tooth. What well-educated dentist misses a canal during a root canal??? Riddle me that??? So I got perscriptions for penicillan and motrin, and I have another root canal appointment scheduled for next week. For those of you who don't already know this about me, I am 100% terrified of going to the dentist, and particularly root canals. So the fact that I have to go back and get another root canal on the same tooth is, well, scarey.

Is anyone giving up something for lent? Or incorporating something new into their lives for lent? And why are there H&M commercials aired in Tennessee when there isn't even a store in all of middle Tennessee? That's just cruel. What's everyone doing for Spring Break/Easter this year? I may be going to the Caymon Islands in April with one of my close friends from high school. I'm hoping it works out! I hope you all are having a good week :)
