Dragon’s Den

Today Goldbloom gets the roto-rooter treatment (root canal) in Dothan, and the rest of us get to go shopping. How’s that for justice?
It’s hard to believe that school starts up in a couple of weeks. Where the hell did the summer go?? It seems like last semester just got over with. Maybe we can fit in one more short vacation before school starts. Maybe another haunted/ghost hunter trip?
Speaking of ghosts, Halloween is creeping closer and closer. Since I start celebrating and decorating on the first of October, Halloween for me, is just a little over 2 months away. Weeee! I’ve already started scoping out the Halloween prop sites. There’s some pretty cool stuff out there, but this year, since Goldbloom is here, I think I’m going to try and make most of my own props instead of buying. We’ve scrapped the haunted merry-go-round plans and went with something a little less complicated…like two zombies fighting over a leg. I’ve figured out how to get them to move, we just have to start building them. When we start I’ll put up pics, like when we built the guillotine and cemetery fence last year.
AND finally, speaking of zombies, I’m going to work on another chapter of the Zombie Chronicles tonight. Hopefully I’ll have a new chapter up by tomorrow. But for now I must be off to get Goldbloom rootered. Have a great day everyone.

Ohhhh this is the life…the luxury, the cars, the boats, the lawyers.

This week is a busy one. Goldbloom’s son starts Vacation Bible School, Goldbloom has a dentist appointment, as well as Mr. Dragon and Tess. Then on Thursday I finally get my stitches out and see how the bone graft took. On top of all of this Mr. Dragon is getting his parent’s old house in order to sell, we have to buy school uniforms (first year for it), and 3 of us have to get ready for the first semester to start. This is my list of classes for this semester…

Constitutional Law in Criminal Justice
Selected Topics (Crime and Tourism with a trip to Belize)
Survey of Law and Criminal
Computer Concepts and Applications

Hopefully this semester will be as good as the last one. I still have to find out the details of the 14 week class in London. You know, how many credits is it worth?…will housing be provided??…will I still be counted as a full-time student, even if it’s only one class, AND will the circumstances of that one class be enough to qualify me for a student loan to pay for the expenses while I’m there.

Also, you will notice a new blog on my blogroll. Jess and Tess have made a blog, and although they can be pretty ornery sometimes, they are usually pretty entertaining. So stop by and say hello to my kids.

I’ll give you a hint, I’m not talking about Goldbloom (her hand in the pic).

After finding out there will indeed be a Diablo III, I went to the site and read about a new character class, the witch doctor (which I mentioned below in the comments section). One of the spells he/she (you can choose either, a Diablo first.) can cast is “Zombie Wall”, where a wall of zombies is summoned from the ground and eats anything that comes near it. I saw a video of it and it was cool as heck! The “Horrify” spell was also amusing. When I get the game I’m going to start a witch doctor character and call it either Goldbloom or ohEEohahah (pronounced ew-ee-ew-ah-ah).

Hehehehehehe! I’ve waited years for this! Blizzard Entertainment is now making Diablo III! Woohoo!

Today I feel pretty much normal so after Goldbloom and I get done running a few errands it’s shopping time! The pushing, shoving, cart ass-bashing, and cutting in line. Ahhhh I love the smell of blood, perfume and fresh sales stickers in the morning.

I would like to say thank you to the people who have come to wish me well while recovering from surgery. It helped to know that there were some people out there pulling for me. Your thoughts and prayers were definitely appreciated and worked!
You’re probably asking yourself, what the hell did she have done anyway? So let me explain.
Because I was stupid when I was a teenager and didn’t take care of my teeth I developed periodontal disease. It didn’t matter that I took care of them later, the damage was done. Not too long ago my periodontist discovered, when x-raying for an implant, that my jaw bone was deteriorating. SO they put me most of the way out and took a chisel and a hammer and collected material from my nose and implanted it into my jaw, pulled some teeth, put in the thingies the implants screw into AND scraped my roots all at the same time. I’ve been on antibiotics, steroids, darvicets(sp?), and on some special toothpaste and mouthwash. It sucks…but not as bad as it was last week.
In a few weeks I get the stitches out and they screw in the implants. Tada!

I’m sorry but in this post I’m going to be a whiny little bitch.
Slowly but surely things are getting semi-normal, or in my case, abby-normal. The bruising and swelling is going down. I stopped using the pain medication because it was making me sicker than the aftermath of what the doctors did to me. Right now two motrin seem to be taking care of it nicely. Now if I can just get Goldbloom to quit making me laugh. It hurts my stitches when I laugh. So if someone could please come beat her up for me, or duct tape her mouth shut, I would be very appreciative. I have a special Mr. Lincoln for someone brave enough to give her an enema.

I feel like complete shit. My face is swollen, my head hurts and I alternately feel dizzy and sick to my stomach. Good times…good times.
