  Sunshiney Day
La la la... the sun is supposed to come out - though now it is raining - and it will be a beautiful day!
Hickteeth skips to her car, in anticipation of a wonderful morning. Then she remembers : the dentist appointment she has this afternoon. That's ok! Her new dentist is kind and gentle and so far so good. She's sure it will be fine! She unlocks the door - what's this? - a ticket? Hicky checks the signs and sure enough, it is the only place she can't park between 8AM-9AM. Fair enough. She should have looked at the parking indicators more closely.
Bus ticket in pocket - she put it there so that there would be no struggles at the bus stop, Hick makes her way to the bus shelter, sees her bus - 3 minutes early - pass before her as she walks to the stop. No problem, another one will come soon, says the lady waiting for the bus with her. The lady talks to her until the next bus comes and as they enter the bus where Hickster reaches in her pocket to find - that it's empty. The ticket is lost.
Another ticket later, the ride begins standing and ends standing - no seats today.
As the dentist appointment approaches, Hick sees the sun come out. Lovely! A sign of things to come.
A strange and new experience, the dentist replaces one filling with another. It is Hick's first experience with a "dental dam" and though she has heard wonderful things about them, she had never really associated them with the actual dentist before. This experience is not something she'd choose to repeat, though it did not cause too much disturbance or pain.
Mirror in hand, Hickatron checks out the new filling and what a beaut it is. No more ugly silver for her.
Swallow this - says the dentist and off goes Hick to the bathroom with her cup of activated charcoal. The black mud dribbles down her chin as hick realises her handicapped ability to swallow and keep liquids in her mouth - it being frozen and all. She tries to smile and a stretched, half-grimace looks back at her. Lips, tongue and teeth covered in the black powder.
Several mouthfuls of water later, she's on the street back to work - a little woozy and over-tired.
Flashback to the night before when Cuddles arrives at home an hour and a half late, waking Hick out of her first 5 mins of sleep - keeping her up while he showers and then promtly falls into a deep sleep. Hickypoo is still up. And quite exhausted.
Back to work, over-tired and under eating and swallowing capacity, our friend Hick is starting to feel that the sunny day is no longer reflecting her humours, which have taken a dip for the worse.
Her stomach growls and she reaches for her yoghurt which she hopes she can get down without too much mess.
Smacking and sucking sounds eminate from the flapping frozen lip, yoghurt escapes despite her best efforts, holding back tears of absolute exhaustion, Hick can do nothing more but log onto her favorite website and divulge her tale of woe. Woe and anguish.
She leans back in her chair at a job well done and quietly falls asleep... at work.

I never associated dental dams with the dentist either!!
 
I poetically write this entry about what a day I had - which on the verge of falling asleep and all you can comment on is Tom?

And the dental dam?

What about ME? don't choo care about ME?

I'm fine BTW - thanks alot.
 
Well Tom obviously liked your tale of woe. Or maybe he just did a quick Blog search for "dental dam" and that's what got us on the watch list.
Tom's a kinky bastard!
 
Hickteeth!!

How's your Hicktooth? did the dentist hurt you? Was he gentle?

I just felt so gosh darn awful when I read about the parking ticket and missing the bus. Man! That must have been a rough day. Are you alright?

Cyber-hugs!!! Toodles
 
Oh now you're just being sarcastic...

Fug-ewe (sniff sniff) just fug-ewe!

(recognize the line? for 2 points, where did I get it from?)
 
anthony michael hall,
breakfast club, dude!!!

how could i possibly not know that?!
 
i too was amused by ms's attention to tom, and lack of compassion for hick!
i see she has made up for it though! what a gal!
i was filled with woe and humour simultaneously, for as sad as the events were (from ticket to dental dam to dribble and beyond), that hick sure has a knack with the word!
oh ladies, you keep me laughing all the live long day (while i'm working on the railroad.)
(one more thing: fiurther to ms' inquiry about why tom may think that our blog would be a contender for top blog, i have to say this: WHY THE HELL WOULDN'T IT BE??)
 
And : How the hell were we supposed to know we were up for top blog?
How the HELL were we supposed to know?!?
