petulant peonies

while at the dentist yesterday, i got chastised by the hygenist for not flossing often enough, but she said my brushing is really good, so my teeth and gums are still in pretty good shape (for someone who doesn't floss, that is). we also talked about the fact that my dentist has had the same artwork on the walls of his office since, at least, 1985 when i first went to him. the only thing that has changed at all in there are the colours of the walls (just last spring), the staff and the waiting room chairs, although i think he just got the fabric replaced because they're really sinky-into. i had the best sleep ever last night. for the first time in i don't know how long, i fell asleep and slept right through until my alarm. even after, the time went slowly, so the extra half an hour i snuck felt like much more. the dreams were kind of weird, though. mummies, motels, running around naked trying to buy clothes, smarmy coworker leering after my ass. i love dreams. so, you do realize that it's only 16 days until my birthday, right? that's almost exactly the perfect amount of lead time to send me something pretty! i like flowers. and dvds. and books. and digital cameras! but, honestly, i'd be thrilled with a card. my expectations are very low. that doesn't give you permission to forget, though!
