Well, i don't have a ton to update about, but i did go home this weekend to spend time with my parents. Boy, it was nice to see them and just relax. I had a great time with my family and really loved laying around like a bum. Thanks Mom and Dad, for the awesome weekend.
Tonight, i'm going to drive Josh to Shakopee to pick up his new car. He decided to get a little Ford Focus (2001) to replace is white cavalier that died a few weekends ago. I mean, of course it's not a dream car, but it'll be a nice car for him to bomb around in for a year or two until he can afford a new car. Kinzie is coming over once i get home. She wants to see my new place, and i can't wait to see her! hopefully i'll get my place cleaned up before she gets there. i have one picture hung in my place so far. Chat Noir...If it fell during the day today, i'm going to be devastated! once i have it cleaned and organized, as i promised almost a month ago, i will take pictures and post them on here. but, until then, just know it's all falling into place.
Well, i hope you're all having a great week. Happy "almost end of August" to you! Enjoy the rest of Summer! I am getting excited for Fall! WOOO HOOOO! can't wait!

To My Sweet Little Abigail Lee.
I'm so sorry you got sick, little girl. We didn't want to see you suffer any more, and so now you rest with the angels in heaven. 9 years ago I found you in the video store. The crazy cat lady of Kasson was trying to find you a home, and I felt a connection to you instantly. We brought you home and made you a beloved part of our family. Since that day you have been loved and cared for. Babby, you had a very good life. I'm so glad I got to be there to give you pets and kisses, to let you explore the great outdoors and to see you sleeping soundly on the blanket atop my bed when I came home from school. I loved finding you on your cat mat in the living room, quietly passing time. I always knew you wanted a good scratch behind your ears and under your chin. You remember that scratch, the one that made your back foot thump and your eyes roll up towards the ceiling. Oh I'm going to miss giving you those scratches. You know, one of my favorite things was coming upstairs, when I was staying at home with mom and dad, to find you snuggled up with your papa purring and getting your pets for the night. I know that Dad loved that time with you. It was your special time together and you both loved it more than the other knows. Abby, you were such a beautiful cat. I will forever hear your little half hearted meow whenever I look at the place in the kitchen where "your" bowl was. I love how you couldn't eat from any other bowl, just yours. you silly little girl.
Biddy is really going to miss you. You were her best friend and her sister. She'll be lonely for a while, but don't worry. Mama will take care of her and tell her why you went away. They'll miss you a lot, but Lilly and Izzy still have each other. They will be ok.
There are so many things I wish I could have told you before you went away. But know that you are with God now. Jesus and the angles will pet you and kiss you and love you just the way we did down here on Earth. Be at peace my sweet baby girl. I will see you again someday, when I join you and Sophie and Leo in heaven. I promise to think of you often and continue to love you, forever and ever.
Goodbye, Abigail Lee. I love you.

Well, i haven't fully unpacked my new place yet, so i don't have any pics to show you. But i promise to have some soon. I do, i promise.
In the meantime, let me tell you about my dentist visit(s). I was on my way up to Lake of the Woods to surprise Kate for her birthday when i noticed that my right, bottom molar (#3 third from the back, #1 being my missing wisdom tooth)had chipped on the side and was basically crumbling off. According to josh it looked "SICK" and "disgusting." thanks honey. i love you, too. *rolls eyes*
Anyway...i decided that since the dentist had told me i would need a crown on that tooth someday, that maybe this was a good time to start thinking about that. (even though i know it will cost me $500+) I went to the dentist, and he was sure glad i came in. "wow, this tooth is in bad shape. good thing you got in here, it's just full of decay" i hate that word. please don't say decay in my presence. just say, it's full of bad news.
Well, he gave me the Novocaine and drilled and scraped until he was ready to put the impression gunk in there to take a mold of my tooth. Or maybe he did that before he drilled and scraped, that would make more sense. It doesn't matter, the point is, he did both. He fit me for a temporary crown and sent me on my way, asking me to come back in two weeks for the real deal.
i suffered slight pain every time i chewed on something for two weeks. whatever. pain happens. My mom would have advised to just "take some ibuprofen and wait two days. if it still hurts, then go to the doctor". let's just say, it's a good thing i never busted my leg. I'm not sure I'd be walking today.
Ok, back on track...i went into the dentist on Tuesday, this week, to get my new bling. I laid in the chair and he gave me the Novocaine again. He grabbed onto my temp crown and ask if i could feel that, as he pulled slightly. with a wince on my face and a shaky voice, i replied "uh huh," trying not to swallow the cotton gauze he had stuffed in my mouth. so he gave me another half shot of Novocaine and i was numb. awesome. He yanked the temp crown out and within 30 minutes, i had a brand new tooth. shiny, slippery, and white. It fit perfectly into place without any sanding or further alterations. It was perfect. My mouth eventually came back to life about 3 hours later. I'm happy with it. but my bank account won't be happy for long.
Here is a picture of my beautiful new molar. (molar--molar...say that word out loud. molar. it sounds funny.) I'm sorry to those of you who don't want to see the inside of my mouth, tough it out. it's life!
And, here is a picture of me in my bathroom at my new apartment, sweating, per usual. It's always hot in there. i hate sweating...thought i'd share.
