Thank you all for your comments about Mira’s cavity. She was very brave and handled the situation far better than I imagined. I had to hold her hands and pin her legs at one point because it hurt a tad but on the whole she was very cooperative and did not scream (whew). The dentist made me feel better about the cavity, pointing out that it’s location is highly unusual and probably was *not* caused by poor brushing habits (whew again). I’m glad things went as well as they did considering that this man will be prying out 2 of my wisdom teeth next month. I just don’t think it would be a good idea to piss off a guy who’s about to perform a surgical procedure on you. If he was vindictive enough one could wake up totally toothless or with one eyebrow shaved off.

In other news this is officially party weekend. Ah yes Memorial Day, otherwise known as Fidget’s Birthday Weekend. We’ll be tipping some brews to honor soldiers, but we’ll be doing so with a dozen of my friends and family. Viva Le Birthday. I’m all a’twitter, I haven’t had a birthday party for myself since I turned 18. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t make the blogrounds this weekend. Between the cleaning and food prep (yes, I’m doing it all myself) and then the actual party on Sunday, I SHOULD be doing SOMETHING other than puttering around on the computer. Which reminds me if any of ya’ll see me on AIM yell at me to get back to work (I’m ErinCreates on AIM).

Now the good part, food porn. Our menu (as currently planned) with be Chili-Lime chicken kabobs, beef hotdogs, burgers, black beans, summer squash casserole, fruit platter, veggie platter, Brie, hummus, salsa + tortilla chips, cracker assortment, cheese cake, triple berry cobbler, and of course booze. I’m going to be off my diet and plan to spend Monday with a bad food hang over. If I plan this just right my birthday will start Sunday and continue straight through to my actual birthday on Tuesday.

And here is a bit of gratuitous cuteness to help you make it through the weekend. One of my best friends is getting married and Mira is up for the job of flower girl. Today we went to the bridal shop to hunt for bridesmaids dresses (no I will NOT post those pictures). We had Mira try on a few dresses and then for good measure we dressed Tessa up too. Ok, now everyone at once AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
