gum disease, suits, and leftovers

the day after christmas was quite as eventful but far more painful than christmas. i had to get up at 8am for a dentist appointment.
i got this hygenist named sharon who practically cut my mouth to pieces. i was squirming in the chair trying not to cry because i had passed my
threshold of pain. the dentist ans hygenist were like "it's not good when your mouth bleeds like this. it means you have gum disease." and i'm like, "what do you expect to happen when you stab my mouth with razor 2000 times!" well, i kept that to myself but i was in so much pain. my gums still ache. the funny thing is that i floss more than anyone i know but i have the worst gum bleeding. even my brother's mouth wasn't that bad according to the dentist.

jerms and i went over to his parents house after that and had some homecooked breakfast. i had strawberry crepes and sausage. it was good. it was also the first time i had breakfast in months.

around 10am we set up to go shopping with my friend jennifer for clothes and shoes. i ended up getting 3 pairs of jeans so now i don't have to wear the same one over and over again. i wanted to get some brown boots but nothing i tried on was perfect. i've learned my lesson about shoes. if they don't feel comfortable on the first fit, don't buy them. you're not supposed to break in shoes with your feet. we dropped jennifer off at 1:30pm so she could go see the two towers with her family. we then headed back to my house to fix us some leftovers from christmas dinner.

we watched a dvd and kind of napped until it was time for jeremy to go. he had to have dinner with his folks since his parents were cooking his favorite dish..chicken fried deer. i wanted to eat with my parents, so i stayed behind and called up our friend Hani. He, his sister Ramona, and her friend Jon, and I went to Men's Wearhouse to find Hani a nice outfit to wear for his New Year's Eve party. Ramona was going to buy this suit for her brother as a Christmas present. Jon was there because he likes to shop, one of the few men that i know who does. I was there as a fashion consultant. hehe. Man oh man. that is some high class shopping. there's this person who follows you around with a measuring tape and makes sure everything fits you. they then try to find every parcel of the outfit they think you'll like and buy. We finally found him a nice black turtleneck with a leather jacket, grey dress pants, a fancy belt, monk strap shoes, and even socks. a tailor had to come out and mark the fitting so she can take parts in and cuff the pants. she had to grab the butt part of his pants at one point and he practically jumped. hehehe.

we dropped ramona and jon off at hani's store (maggie moo's ice cream) and then headed back to my place where we were supposed to be having dinner at 6:30. however, when we got there, only my brother was there. we ended up snacking on cookies and chex mix while i got dinner ready for when my parents and nat returned home from shopping. i had on my maggie moo cow spot apron and it made me feel like a real chef for some reason. i was only warming up food but i felt like a professional. just as hani and i were about to give up and just start eating, my parents showed up around 8pm. by then, jeremy returned and we all ate together.

that night, hani, jeremy, nat, and i played spoons and started working on my 1000 piece pooh bear puzzle i got for christmas. i gave up after the border was done. i was so tired i crashed out. the rest of them worked on until 2am or so. they decided to call it quits cuz they have to wake up before noon tomorrow. we're going to go eat lunch with an old friend...or I was going to..but i needed back up help cuz this friend is a dominant talker and i need ammunition to back me up.

so now its morning..or late morning. i'm a bit tired and my back hurts a little. i'm wearing this new scent jennifer got me for christmas and my new jeans. i'm kind of in the mood to go shopping again..but with what money?
