So this could be my last post….ever. Going to the dentist today. I decided it was time to put my big girl panties on (*wink* Lisa) and just do it… at this rate, if I survive, I may be bungee jumping or alligator wrestling by next week. Bare in mind, that’s a pretty big if.

Yes, I am terrified of the dentist. I have delivered 2 babies, naturally. I have been hit by a car, twice. I had a 3rd degree burn on my finger once, did not hurt at all…even after they sewed it back on. Case in point, I’m typically a bad-ass chick just not when it comes to the dentist.

I feel like I have said it a million times, “Going to the dentist tomorrow.” “Yep, finally got in to the dentist.” “Oh, I would love to, but I have to go to the dentist.” “Is it Wednesday already? I need to remember I have an appointment today…at the dentist.” in hopes that one, just one person will respond with a, “Pssst, the dentist ain’t nothing!” They don’t. They gasp. They’re eyes bulge. They reinforce my fear. God I love my friends.

Maybe the dentist will put my fears to rest, perhaps it will just turn out to be a ruptured eardrum or something. Perhaps it’s nothing a few pain pills and ice cream for a few weeks can’t cure, or a quick swab of antibiotics. Then, on my way out the door I will be allowed to stop at the big, huge treasure chest and pick a new pencil or a sticker. I dream.

Someone I will update you later today. I’ll be o.k., I should be o.k., (Pssst, this is the part where you say, the dentist ain’t nothing…you’ll be o.k.!)

* just in case: Boys- you will have to fight over who gets to drive my car, like you did in high school. To my sisters- yes, I was the one that told on you. Dee- for you, all my ground beef. Chuck & Lisa- please carry on my FB legacy. Mom- you told me there was a tooth fairy!?!? Rich- Keep checking under my pillow (you know, just in case)
