CHOKE AND PUKE

Tuesday, June 08, 2010 This afternoon at three I had a dentist appointment, actually a “cleaning” appointment. Our dentist is Jeremy Mathews and I always ask for and have my cleaning done with Lateesha. Lateesha is young pretty, tall and comes close to keeping up with me in humor. Today I had an edge on her in the humor department. I WAS ON ONE! Poor girl she couldn’t keep up and several times was so flustered she was covering her face with both hands and shuttering; a little in laughter, a little in bewilderment. To top it off, with Jeremy came in at the end he teamed up with me and the poor girl didn’t stand a chance. On another note, Katrina Kropushek is now working there. She ushered me back to my cubical and took my X-rays. If you recall, Katrina is the young lady in our ward/neighborhood who ran for Miss Saratoga Springs and made first attendant. (See my previous blog.) I think she had just the right mix of friendliness and professionalism. I warned them all in advance that this morning I woke up with a bad sore throat but one by one, first Katrina, then ‘teesha then Dr. Mathews said, “No problem, I’m wearing a mask!” Oh well. Dr. Mathews said jokingly, “I wish I could say you have cavities since you don’t brush your teeth, but I can’t. You haven’t any.” Today is our granddaughter Sierra’s sixteenth birthday she is getting a surprise birthday party for her and her friends, at Noah’s given by her father, Chris, and the rest of the adults in the family. I am sure it will be chronicled by her Mother, Jenn and by Niki on there blogs. I will refrain from putting this on my blog until later when I’m sure she won’t go online and see it pre-party time. Sierra will be getting her new/used car; the car Chris has been driving the last few years in Houston. Since he spends little time actually in Houston and little of that time driving, the 04 Hyundai Elantra has very low mileage. Corey and I drove it to Salt Lake a month or so ago. It has been hiding out at Greg and Niki’s this whole time. Thur, 10 June, 2010 I woke up the morning before last with a killer sore throat and head cold and except for a dentist/cleaning appointment I have done nothing but lie around. I am thinking I might force myself to go out at noon and get me a sandwich or something. Wish me luck.
