Just drink 2 tequila shots

Yeah.........so I went to Mexico. Woke up at 4:30AM left the house at 6:15 to drive to my doom. This was the 1st time I was driving to Mexico and not looking forward to it. Saw my cute dentist, Dr. Erick, and right away he stuck needles in my mouth. I had 2 fillings and my teeth whitened by him. Then he referred me to an oral surgeon......now that sucked! Dr. Eduardo stabbed my mouth with anesthesia and pulled out my wisdom tooth. Felt like he was ripping my mouth open.......everytime I opened my eyes......2 Mexican faces were inches close from my face staring at my deformed mouth. All I can see are Mexican eyes.........all I can hear are Mexican words. (Good thing they were cute - that would've sucked to have an ugly dentist and assistant with nasty teeth.) But still........I couldn't look at them. When they finally pulled my tooth.......I asked them if I could look at that sucker. I should've asked them if I could keep it as a souvenir.........ya know - walk around and wear it around my neck or something. (Kinda what the ancient Mayans used to do with the bones of the people they conquered) LOL When I asked them.......so what should I take for the pain?.......They responded......."Oh...just drink 2 tequila shots - then you'll be ok." (Not really gonna hear that kinda advice from an American dentist!)

So......now I'm in excrutiating pain......I'm swollen.......I bit the shit out of my inner cheek.......and worst of all......the pain was worse than I anticipated.

Well.......the most exciting thing about my day - I tried a "Prickly Pear Cactus" shake today. Pretty exciting, huh?

Oh............and on Valentine's Day..........I got flowers from "Rich". How sweet......my ex thought about me after all. (NOT!) After leaving 2 messages on Rich's cell and writing this detailed "remember when we used to do this and that" e-mail.......I find out later that it's from another Rich. (Someone more thoughtful and sweet - Oh......and loves to cook)

By the way.........Rich - if you are reading this......thanks again for the flowers and reassuring me that there are still thoughtful, sweet, handsome good men out there in the world. Too bad you are 3000 miles away.
