Yesterday sucked! I went to the dentist. Uggh. How is it that my brother has perfect—not a filling or even the beginnings of any cavity—teeth and I will need enough work to put my dentist’s children through four years at Harvard! (Yes, I am exaggerating) It’s just not fair! Genetics can be so screwy. He got naturally blonde hair and long eyelashes. I got blonde eyelashes and mousy brown hair; now I pay $100 for my blonde streaks! I guess I lucked out in the melanin department; he is quite fair and burns easily, at least I can get a nice golden tan. I love him though.

Last night was good however. Hubby got up early to watch the beginning of Monday Night Football and I cooked us dinner. I went all out with homemade both eggplant and chicken parmesan but got tired halfway through so there was no salad or spaghetti, just bread. I have decided to cook one maybe two “meals” a week and the rest just cook light and maybe do salad with grilled fish or chicken. It’s summer and I don’t want to spend all of it in the kitchen. Besides I have made a vow to exercise more and eat healthier.

As a perfect way to end the evening I took a long hot bubble bath with rosemary-mint bath salts and read for over an hour. I was still soaking when he came in to kiss me good-bye before going to work. **Sigh** No doubt there is something about a hot bath that is hella relaxing. I slept like a baby. :-)
