Truth Bomb

I saw this quote on Facebook: "You're Always One Decision Away from a Totally Different Life." How is that for a truth bomb? We all could make a decision or multiple decisions that would change our lives respectfully!  Whoa!!! 

In 2017, I want to dream bigger! I need to sit down and ponder what I want out of life when I'm not just surviving, and then I need to (*gasp*) plan how I will achieve these so called bigger goals! A lot of people around me are changing their lives by going to school, moving, having babies, or getting married. Whereas I was thinking along the lines of flossing and eating healthier on a regular basis. Although I'm not currently ready for a drastically different life, I want to plan so that one day I will be. One day, my teeth, gums, and waist line will thank me. 

Dentist, Haircut, and Dyed...Oh My!

Despite being busy this week, I found time to take extra good care of myself. I'm still feeling great. *knock on wood* I went to the dentist for the first time in four years this week. I originally stopped going because I cancelled my appointment back in 2010 in order to go on vacation and I never rescheduled. Life got busy, other medical bills piled up, and I just finally got around to going back. My insurance doesn't cover dental, so it's not the cheapest thing in the world. I don't even care that my insurance doesn't cover it because it covers my meds for Crohn's. Surprisingly, I didn't have any cavities or problems with anything else! Damn, I'm good! I saved over $1,300 by not going to the dentist for four years, and I don't have any cavities! Yeah, I feel like I won at life! I don't want to push my luck, so I'm back on the schedule for cleanings and x-rays twice a year.

To treat myself extra nicely, I got my haircut today. Okay, it was just a trim. I love the part when the lady shampoos my hair. I mean, wow. Why does it feel so damn good when someone else does it? I need someone to shower with so that they can shampoo my hair. I like that shit! Perhaps, I can cut arm holes in my shower curtain so that someone can just stick their arms through to shampoo me. I'm cracking up picturing that in my head. I'm too cheap to get my hair professionally dyed, so I went home and dyed my own hair after my haircut. It's an elegant deep bronzed brown. It seems to have covered the grays, but that will likely change in a couple weeks.

I'm packed and ready to head South after work tomorrow. I've got the Vodka and Oreos and can't wait to celebrate Taylor's birthday!
