Three years ago you came into this world, and every moment (mostly) since has been an absolute joy.

...on things you're supposed to do every six months, but I haven't done in over 7 years.... (ie. the dentist.)
So I went for to the dentist today to get my teeth cleaned, mostly because I know I have a cavity. What I didn't know is that the cavity is almost (if not already) to the pulp of the tooth. If it is, then I get a lovely root canal. So not looking forward to that.
At least I've still got some percoset left over from my last surgery to get through the pain!
And I get to eat some of Josie's b-day cake the night before...

Today is my 10th birthday. Tonight will be so different than my first, but I will be surrounded by people I love, and who love me unconditionally. Ten fucking years since I left the church, my family, and every so-called friend I ever had behind. There's been a lot of pain in the past 10 years, but it's been worth it.
Ten years ago my b-day was on a Tuesday. I showed up at (hair) school late and hung over, then went to work at the Fox & Hound (on Metcalf). The night ended with me being driven back to Kristina's house by a friend because I was falling off the chair drunk (literally!).
A few months later I met Keith, and the rest is history!

It seems like every year, something big goes wrong in our house. Last year it was our upstairs A/C unit. It died. In the middle of August. Which, if you live or have ever lived in the Midwest, you know how miserable it can be without a/c. We've recovered from that finally.
This year, thanks to a potty training princess who liked to use to much toilet paper, we had a flood.
Basically, there was toilet paper stuck in the pipe from a previous usage, and when she flushed it, the rubber stopper in the bottom of the tank did not seal, so the toilet overflowed and ran for 15-20 minutes before I noticed the issue.
Now, I don't have any pictures of the bathroom while it was flooded. In fact, the bathroom has no damage what-so-ever. But there was an inch of water in my bathroom.
The kitchen, however, was not so lucky.

There was half an inch of water on my kitchen floor, and an inch in my stove top.
And the basement under the kitchen? Well...



So now our kitchen ceiling looks like this:
And our basement ceiling looks like this: 
As of right now, we have not taken down the sheet rock in the kitchen, but there is about the equivalent of two sheets that need to be replaced. We have taken down the nasty pop-corn crap and Keith has started the refinishing of the non-damaged area so we can paint when it's repaired.
Anyone have a set of sheet-rock stilts that Keith can borrow? His neck hurts.

A few years ago, Keith and I took ballroom dancing lessons through one of our local YMCA's. Due to lack of a babysitter on Sunday nights, we no longer attend *dammit*. One of the many dances we learned (that I really no longer remember) was the Tango.
But this? Just...
Damn!
