I've lived to tell about it...

I finally had it done! My wisdom teeth finally came out today after last week's postponement.

Needless to say, I was extremely nervous but my best girl pals gave me pep talks and lots of encouragement to assure me I would infact survive. The doctor was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. He was funny- but not in that corny doctor way. It all happened pretty quickly- he explained everything to me for about 10 minutes, then they took me into a different room and took off my glasses (which was a blessing b/c I was then unable to see what was going on- you know, all the huge pliers and giant needles there were about to use in my mouth).

They then put the oxygen on my nose and very gently inserted the IV sedation. Clearly I'm a lightweight having never been a drug user, and the meds hit me pretty quick. I told all the doctors over and over how funny it was that since today was Feb 29, leap year, next year I wouldn't have a anniversary of my wisdom teeth extraction (because at this point in the sedation I was pretty certain i would be celebrating this joyful occasion... yea.) After that I was out like a light. When I woke up it was all over. Apparently I then proceeded to thank all the doctors and nurses profusely for being "so nice." Ha, very typical of me.

I'm all home now and have been all day. Also in a lovely amount of pain. My swelling is pretty minimal at this point, although my post-op instructions say the 3rd day is the worst for the pain and swelling.

So that's all the news about the wisdom teeth. I'm just glad to have it all over and done with and now hopefully all my teeth and sinus problems will be alleviated. I also want to get those clear Invisiline things to straighten my teeth, but that's a story for another day. Time to zonk out on my pain meds.

Thanks so much for everyone's encouragement and for refraining from telling me their horror stories until after mine op was all over :)

Tacky Christmas Yards

This site is too funny. They have pictures of homes decorated for Christmas that are rather excessive. The captions and titles are the icing on the proverbial gingerbread house. Check it out at http://tackychristmasyards.com/

Len has been "busy" so I wrote another entry for him for Life At 25. Check it out here.

She's f*ing Matt Damon

Two videos that you must see.

A little backround if I may... Jimmy Kimmel and Matt Damon have this on going "fued" that is more of an on going joke. Kimmel ends his show each night with something along the lines of "Apologies to Matt Damon, we've run out of time again..."
So Matt Damon got together with Sarah Silverman (Kimmel's long time girlfriend and comedian) and made this little video...
Personally, I love how excited Sarah looks as she sings... I mean, who wouldn't be thrilled about that? Matt does look mighty hot. Then Jimmy Kimmel responded last night...

Both videos are hysterical and Jimmy's features some major A-listers... can you spot them all??

I'd write about the Oscars but they were so boring I fell alseep.

Alright, I didn't really fall asleep, but in hindsight I wish I had. I suffered through the entire show including Red Carpet on E!. I must say, the red carpet coverage with Ryan Seacrest was the most entertaining. Most notable was when weirdo Gary Busey attacked Ryan and Jen Garner. They all felt so uncomfortable and Ryan tried his best to contain the situation but even he had to laugh it off eventually and admit to not having a clue what was going on. Video footage of the trainwreck below.

Speaking of Jen Garner, I've always been a little reluctant to give in to her charm, but she won me over last night. She was best dressed in my eyes- she looked stunning in a beautiful black gown with her hair tied loosely back. Very glam, yet very Jen. Bravo Mrs. Affleck.

Johnny Depp was also there, nominated for Best Actor for Sweeny Todd, and he looked as sexy as ever in a handsome tuxedo with his hair shorter than we've seen lately, looking oh so hot. And of course his signature glasses.

And that's all I remember about the Oscars. I did watch the Jimmy Kimmel videos this morning (see above) and all ten minutes of them out-entertained me compared to the 3 and half hour Hollywood love fest.

People will complain about anything

Seriously? People need to stop being so offended. This latest story from MSN discusses Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito giving a speech to Rutgers University students about how the HBO hit series "The Sopranos" is guilty of stereotyping.

"Alito complained that the hit HBO television drama not only associated Italian-Americans with the Mafia, but New Jerseyans, as well."

Well, Your Honor, its called entertainment. I'm pretty sure there isn't one person out there who, by watching "The Sopranos," is now under the impression that all Italian-Americans in North Jersey are mobsters. Again I ask, seriously? By your own suggestion however, I should assume that all women who live in NYC are bed-hopping shopoholics, all doctors in Seattle sleep together and have intra-hospital relations, all 20 somethings in Manahattan live in huge apartments and work in coffee shops and anyone who is the "boss" of an office must be horribly awkward and innapropriate.

Sure, that makes sense.

I hold my ground that its entertainment. How would he suggest they make a series about a mafia family that he doesn't find offensive?

Stop complaining.
