I went back to the dentist today, where he checked out my teeth and gums and told me that I should keep up whatever I’m doing ’cause everything looks good. (!) I’m pretty sure I have never heard that from a dentist before. Yay for me!
I think our bed is just too comfortable. I make irrational decisions while trying to rationalize going back to sleep. This morning, my plan was to get up at the normal time (6:30), run, and get to work by 9 o’clock so I could minimize the number of vacation hours I would have to take for my trip to the dentist. The alarm went off, and I got up and dressed for running. The light was on (John was going to get up and run, too) and I even had my shoes on, when I turned to John and said, “You know, I don’t really have to go to work before my dentist appointment. No one expects me until after noon. We could go back to bed for another hour…” He agreed before I even finished my sentence, and I was in bed with the light off within five seconds. It was SO nice to sleep for another hour. And because my appointment wasn’t until eleven, I still had time to run. Too bad I can’t do that every morning.
I finished my book (Red Seas Under Red Skies) this morning over breakfast. The author has only written two books so far (this was the second in the series), but I really like them. And now I’ve started Twilight. We’ll see what all the fuss is about. Megan (who is slightly obsessed, by her own admission) let me borrow the first book. Every adult I’ve talked to who has read them has said they’re impossible to put down, and at least three of them are people who have recommended books that I have really enjoyed. I’ll let you know.
