what is this, work??

So it's Tuesday at 4:45 PM and I have done pretty much nothing this week at work. Yesterday I didn't get in until 2:30 because I spent the morning and a good part of the afternoon at the Dentist office getting my teeth bleached (Christmas present from my mom) with this Brite Smile stuff...

Just FYI - they call it a "gentle and relaxing" procedure. Umm, no. I do not call three hours of having your mouth stuck open with sunscreen lathered on your lips and face, bleach applied to your teeth and gums, and then microwaved (or something) either "gentle" or "relaxing" ... and that's not even discussing the major pain for the 24 hours following... the fact that my teeth physically hurt, and that I couldn't smoke... both painful.

Yes, I smoke. And drink red wine. And coffee. I guess that's a lot of drugs for one sentence? But I digress.. clearly, these vices are why I needed my teeth bleached (or so my mom thinks). I will say, they look quite nice!! I mean, seriously. It worked well.

Was it worth it? I don't know... for one I didn't pay for it, and I hear it's pretty spendy. But I will say I definitely wasn't a happy camper with the dental assistant during the procedure, as she kept repeating "Beauty is pain" ... seriously... and I couldn't even tell her to shut the f*ck up please be quiet because I had a dental dam in my mouth.

Moving on....

Kind of, but not really. Because it feels like time stands still between Christmas and New Years. Is there really any reason anyone goes to work this week? I have done very little.. and that is putting it... optimistically. I can't help it... I'm counting down ... to.....WHISTLER!!!!

Yup, going to Whistler to celebrate New Years and I.CAN'T.WAIT. I did spend a good portion of my day researching New Year's Eve parties and sending out e-mails to our crew to gauge pre-reservation-making level of interest. (I'm the planner of the group, if my Type-A personality hasn't clearly shone through in my blogging.)

Anyway, I am not going to be too hard on myself about this whole lack-of-working thing, because after all ... it's Christmas Break!! Or at least it was for the first 23 years of my life, so I'm going to go with, umm yeah! I don't have to do a damn thing. 

Except wait... until....

2010!!!!
