Went to the dentist for a check-up and cleaning this morning and grrr... two cavities. Not that it is a real surprise, b/c I keep getting cavities ever since I turned 18. It's just real annoying to have to schedule a trip to come home just to go get cavities filled when I take as good of care as my teeth as anyone. I mean, I brush at least the requisite twice a day (I have even been told by the dentist I brush too much... back when I hated to leave the house without brushing them first... seriously, who does that?), and I'm much better about flossing my teeth and using Listerine and all than I was back when I was younger, but still. So I've come to the conclusion that I just need more flouride to toughen up those pearly whites.

Anyway, enough about my oral hygiene.

I also went to the drugstore today for some fun purchases - a pretty, sparkly (but subtly so) lipstick, Holiday Collection Lip Smackers, and some semi-permanent hair dye. I'm not sure when I'm going to dye my hair - I'm debating between doing it just after Christmas before I leave for Washington or when I get back before school starts. For some reason, I am nervous about dying it before I meet the parents, lest they think I am some kind of punk-ass freak. (Not that it is a crazy color or anything, just a darker red than it already is, but I've already got the tattoo going against me.) But I'm bringing goodies, so at least I am a career-oriented, yet home-makery, punk-ass freak...
