But we showed up anyway. I was a week early and when I tried to get out of it, they managed to "squeeze" me in anyhow. But at least we moved the appointment up and I got the morning off with Jered to eat at Panzone's ($.99 tacos!) and lay out at the park. This dentist experience wasn't nearly as traumatic as my last one. I recall facebooking something having to do with seeing the fine dust of my tooth enamel floating in the air before my face. . . Of course, this time I came prepared. My dentist has CD walkmans (walkmen?) and a plethora of CDs to choose from in order to "drown out the sound of the drill". Love it. Of course, their cd collection leaves a little to be desired so today I brought my Ipod. I figured the occasion was ripe for "Barb's Best" playlist and while having my teeth drilled does not rate very high on the list of things I like to do, I did actually find myself tapping my toes a bit during the procedure. Such is the power of music. And to top it all off, I kept my appointment for next Tuesday to do round three of fillings (out of four). Since normally there's like a 4-week waiting list to get into this place, I consider myself more lucky than condemned.
As I type this I was moved to get Itunes up and running and I am now listening once again to my playlist. Nope. Not ruined by torturous dentist memories. Just had to check.
Awake My Soul!
Love it.
Speaking of music, on my list of songs were some from albums that I just began listening to this past summer. Laura Marling's The Devil Spoke and Death Cab for Cutie's Narrow Stairs and Collective Soul's Self Titled II. Man, I can't wait for summer! I can't wait for swimming and camping and hiking and road trips :)
Twelve days till we go camping in Weston! Yay for anniversaries and chances to get into the woods!
Missouri River at Weston
Just hope we don't get ticks. Ick.
