kickin' up dust

Well, it's been over half of a week since I updated, that's a long time for me, eh?
Today has been pretty good. I got up, showered, devoed, did some work, loaded up the car, and headed to the office. Than I took this van over to the shop and was looking for the seats to put them back in b/c we had to take them out for a trip to the food bank, the seats were "nowhere" to be found. Than I decided I should check inside the van, they were already in there! Craziawesomecoolness! I was laughing cause I didn't see them when I got in and b/c I was happy I didn't have to put them in! I was on a time-shortage this morning, due to poor timing, but things worked out! I went to the office and than to the Cnfnc Cntr and dropped some stuff off and than off to a dentist appt! Which wasn't so exciting....I have 8 cavities. Can you believe it?! I was appauled. But the dentist-guy who is very nice and a Christian (Yay! I can't believe how much God blesses me!) told me it's just that time in my life when that happens. But I have some recession on two of my abnormally placed teeth =( and need to see a perodonist (sp?) who comes in from Colorado only once a month! Boo! But they said it could cost about $400 to fix only one of my teeth, that's ballpark, but still, that almost $1000 for two teeth. Plus the cavities and they want to put sealant on the ones that don't have cavities yet, so we're looking at about $2300 to fix my teeth and I'm not even getting braces!!! This is slightly perturbing. God is really gonna have to take the lead on this one, cause yeah. Saw the doctor, I have good blood pressure, woot woot! and they said that the second head growing out of my elbow should be just fine...heehee...just kidding. Obviously. What you thought I was serious?! Sick! So, I got out just in time to go to the ATM and back to pay the rest of the bill and than off to my voice lesson, which was very interesting. I have to spit on her, she wants me to. She wants me to practice these warm-ups called "raspberries" and yup, that's what they are. I was quite diverted and highly amused. She said she had to keep reminding herself that I wasn't laughing at her. That's alright, but I can't help it. I am naturally diverted, I guess.
Oh, this is what I concluded today after going to see two doctors: I'm the "irritating" patient who asks all those questions. I kept the dentist assistants in the room with me for at least a half an hour and the other one for another half an hour explaining dental hygiene and cavities and what a root canal is and this jazz, mostly to please my own curiosity, but they were all nice to me, I just feel awkward asking a bunch of questions. So I am healthy and right on target, but also very expensive. That's right, if sumone wantz me, itz gonna b rolls' an glitta an partees n jazz, cuz u gotta hav jazz..yeah. No, but my mouth is going to be pretty costly. It might be smart to start thinking about getting dental insurance, eh?
Things are good. Sorry this is more of a journal entry than anything else, maybe. Devo is really opening my eyes up about some stuff and I am challenged continually by God, especially these next few weeks! I'm also learning about time management and reading another book that is oh so yummy. I was driving to the dentist this morning and was thinking, I feel hungry. But not physical hunger, spiritual hunger. It's weird when you think about spiritual hunger and your mouth starts to water. I am again at a point when getting my fill of God will not happen. I am just sucking it all in, being very greedy, and yearning to sit, like Mary, at Jesus' feet while I rest and listen to every word He has for me. Man, am I HUNGRY! I'm gonna go eat something, eh?
Yeah.
(I read this again, as I usually do, I read these several times through, not sure why, maybe I am fascinated with myself..trying to learn more about myself....interesting...but I noticed, mostly b/c someone told me this once, but I find myself considering myself an inconvenience or that ppl look down on me or think I am dumb. Hmmm. Why? Not really sure. Just another random observation stolen from a comrade.)
