teeny tiny pain.

i had my 40 minute adventure with the dentist today.

i think i looked more pale than normal because he asked "what's so scary?" when he came in and saw me.
i told him that i'm afraid of needles and he said, "ok. then i won't wave it around in front of your face."
ha.
he's actually always been very good about that, but this time he was especially good and understanding about my fear. he told me to close my eyes when it came time for that part.

the only problem is that now... about 16 hours later, i can still feel where the injection went in and it's creeping me out so much!
seriously.
there is only a teeny tiny pain there at the injection site, but i can't sleep because if i don't keep my mind occupied, it's all i can think about.
ugh.
that big huge needle.
it makes my skin crawl.

in an attempt to get my mind off of it, i should probably talk about something else...

how about the olympics?
the games are seriously taking up my days and nights. i'm so into it this year.
did you see the white water event today where togo got it's first medal as a country? so cool.
the gymnastics was a little heart breaking. i can't believe how talented those chinese girls are though.
beach volleyball has been awesome to watch. i have to say that volleyball is probably one of the most fun sport to watch in my opinion, and the beach version is even better.
and the swimming. oh the swimming. it has quickly become my favorite event to watch. :]

oh and another paint update...
i warned my mom about it after i picked up from the airport monday morning [she and my dad went to visit the baby again. yes. i was jealous.] she actually likes it better than i expected, although i don't think she 100% loves it.
my dad came to reno tonight, and i'm fairly certain that he didn't notice. if he did, he didn't say anything about it... which would be unexpected. we'll see what he says tomorrow because i'm pretty sure he'll notice it by then since he's working from home here tomorrow.

ok. i guess i better go find another distraction now.
