I forgot I wanted to remind everyone, I think this tuesday is free scoop day at Ben and Jerry's. We have so many local ice cream shops, this is the only time we go there, but it's always a fun time.
Yum. We don't have a Ben and Jerry's close to us or I would find my way there on Thursday. We do have a Marble Slab and that is yummy. As a matter of fact, the Marble Slab closest to my office is owned by a client. One time I did a favor for him and when he came in to sign the papers, he came with several containers full of various flavors and mixes as a thank you. Let me tell you, those didn't last long.

I've never had a root canal, is it as bad as I have heard it is?
Your old people date night sounds like a great time to me, what does that tell ya?

Love those lettuce wraps.....
This evening we have to attend a sports award function at Kyle's school and will probably be going out to dinner after with some of the other parents.
The root canal wasn't really all that bad. I think the horror stories about the root canals go back to the days when you had to have them done over a week's time. This was just a little worse than a filling. I was really just telling you the story to prod you back to the dentist if your fillling is still bothering you on Monday. Sort of one of those "don't end up like me" examples. KWIM?
I love the lettuce wraps too and I have been craving them. This Chang's just opened up about a month ago and this will be our first visit. We didn't have one close to us before and I haven't been since my last trip to Atlanta.
As for Kyle's awards banquet, every time you mention one I think about Forrest Gump. You know, the part where he said "So I went to the White House. Again. And met the President. Again. And got a medal. Again." Except I think so I went to the awards banquet. Again. And was awarded MVP. Again. And got a trophy. Again.

Seriously, I hope you have a great time.
Hailey's doing great BTW. She has learned to buckle her own seat belt by herself and will do it without us prompting her to. Which makes her smarter than the other two according to Kenny since they still forget. We are anxiously waiting for the pool to open since she loves to swim and it's still too cool to go out on the jet ski.
She's having a tough weekend though. The ball she sits on ALL the time and bounces on burst on Monday night. I ordered a replacement from the therapy catalog and on Thursday it still had not shipped. Thursday morning I called the company and asked them to ship it Next Day Air. Well, yesterday afternoon I tracked it and UPS didn't manage to get it from Ohio. I called the customer service (if you can call it that) and spoke with the very unhelpful person on the other line who told me it was still in Ohio and wouldn't be delivered until Monday. When I asked about Saturday delivery, she said I had to pay for that service to get Saturday delivery. I went nuts and told her I had paid for next day air and that today (Friday) was the next day and that technically Saturday would have been 2nd day. She was unhelpful and unapologetic. I told her this is why my company ships FedEx and why I turn down the UPS rep who stands in my office once a year asking us to switch. Sorry for the rant but it makes me furious to see my child frustrated, looking for her ball and not understanding why she doesn't have one.
OMG! You poor thing with that dental experience!
Have a great time tonight! My mac salad is very easy but very good. I will post later today.
Your cake sounds good. I cannot bake or else I would ask for the recipe!
I had a really bad experience getting veneers years ago...the temporaries were really ugly, fell off and hurt like a SOB, then I got the veneers and they were not to my liking and then they did not bond them right and I wound up getting a piece of pork chop stuck between my real tooth and the porcelain!!!

Not a memorable experience but I have to get them redone soon so I guess I'll be going through all that again...
Thanks. I would appreciate the recipe. Especially if it is easy!
The cake is good and easy too because I don't bake either. It actually starts with a mix, which surprised me because of the taste.
I think you win the dental horror stories. Mine was more funny than bad. That poor dentist kept telling me over and over he did not want to deliver my baby in his office. He said when his child was born he wouldn't even cut the cord.

He must have asked me a million times if I was ok. If I had the veneer experience you went through I don't know if I would want to go through it all again either.
