i have internet access again (cue triumphant choir)! i am now once again connected to the rest of the world. no more long conversations with Marley, my plant. sadly, i think Marley has taken a turn for the worse, and is slowly dying. heartfelt supplications and pep talk have not worked--i think he needs sunshine.

so it turns out that i do not have any cavities, thank goodness. no drills last saturday.

i bought two cases of wine yesterday, ostensibly to give to friends for christmas, but i think i just want an excuse to have too much wine on hand so i can drink it whenever i want.

i'm going to Lawry's tomorrow to celebrate the holiday season with a large, juicy prime rib, creamed corn, and spinning salad. one day, i will marry a Lawry's chef, use him for all the prime rib he's worth, then dump him for another Lawry's chef with a bigger medallion. now THAT's a goal.
