Thursday Thirteen....at least for today!

I have heard of this group that bloggers can join called the Thursday Thirteen. I don't necessarily want to join the group, but I wanted to write something today and I thought it would be a good idea to write about thirteen of something. Here is what I came up with:

Thirteen thoughts that make me smile:

1. This time next year Anthony and I will be married....woo hoo!

2. The thought of Auburn beating Alabama....again!

3. How God continues to bless me and watch over me....even though I don't always deserve it!

4. Babies feet...I know this is weird, but I love a baby's toes!

5. The way that my Grandma Helen calls my name sometimes....I'm amazed that with all that Alzheimers has robbed her of she can still remember it occasionally!

6. The kisses that Granddaddy Wylie would give me on my forehead and tell me to "rub it in."

7. The thought of one day having my own children...not the actual "giving birth" part, but all the rest makes me smile!

8. Rain on a Sunday afternoon....and the nap that comes along with it!

9. The Cosby Show....I just love that show!

10. How God calms my fears and eases my pain...even when I think it just can't be done.

11. Shoe shopping....that says it all!

12. I get to see Anthony tomorrow....I miss him daily!

13. This time next week Vacation Bible School will almost be over...until next summer!

You want to do what?????

So I went to the dentist yesterday for a very non-threatening teeth cleaning. After a few minutes of cleaning I heard the hygenist say "huh"...I didn't think much of it. I just thought she had discovered that I wasn't flossing...as usual. Later the doctor came in to "take a look" and I found out that they want me to have my wisdom tooth extracted by an oral surgeon. I didn't know that any of my wisdom teeth had ever grown in!

My philosophy about medical procedures has always been "if it ain't bothering me than I shouldn't bother it." I had all but decided that I wasn't going to subject myself to any "unnecessary" pain until....everyone said I should have it done. My mother is the only one who isn't convinced....I just think that is because she knows I am a horrible patient and she will have to be the one taking care of me! So for now I have agreed to schedule a consultation...I'm not making any promises that it will go any further than that.
