If you look at the top of the page, you'll see a new link there. Yup, I finally made my "best of" page! There's only one problem, I incuded a post that I don't think anyone ever read the first time, because it was one of my first posts, so, I don't know if it's really the best of anything. Now I want to know what you think. Is it deserving of the best of page? I'm reposting it, below and I want your input. Please let me know, is it worthy?

One Little White Pill
With sounds of Mother's Little Helper by The Rolling Stones, I start my day with one small little pill and a sip of water. Having never taken a valium before, I wasn't sure what to expect. It wasn't long before I found out what they meant when they said it would make me relax. I just hoped this "relaxing" didn't result in a mess in my shorts, cause this stuff was hitting me hard.
I gracefully stumbled into the oral surgeon's office, bouncing off the door jam with a diva's style and drunken grace. Up to the counter to check in, I make a grand attempt at appearing dignified despite the inability to even pronounce my own name.
With what sounded as nonsensical as the lyrics to One Week by Bare Naked Ladies, the receptionist began telling me of after care procedures, follow up appts (I think it's next week but I have no idea,) and prescriptions to be filled. I even made a payment with a blank! check! Should they be taking my money knowing I'm under the influence? and should I be signing forms? Did someone say "Go Ask Alice?" and Who's this Jefferson Airplane, or was it Starship?
I'm taken to a room in the back, hooked up to a heart monitor, and given an IV. Next thing I know I awake thinking "Wow! that wan't so bad!" "I'm not even sore." Then the doctor walks in apologizing for keeping me waiting (waiting, you mean we haven't done the thing yet?) Apparently while I was sleeping off my valium, some other patient thought they would be brave and have his teeth taken out while awake. This ill fated decison resulted in what the doctor described as "kicking and screaming" and "a battle to get the teeth out." Why, when given the option would anyone decide to be aware of their teeth being pulled?
So, I say "Doc, give me the good stuff!" feeling great, I slip off to dreamland. (Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue)
I awake to a nurse telling me I'm all done. My mouth doesn't hurt but I literally have cotton mouth from all the gauze packing. Because the anethesia has not yet worn off; she wheels me out to the car which is probably best after my not so grande entrance. And I drive off into the sunset...not really, my friend actually did the driving, I slept, and it's the middle of the day, so no sunset, but we did drive off to make our way to the nearest drugstore because when this stuff wears off I have a feeling I'll be nursing a nonstop headache and wondering why I'm sleeping with my clothes on.

Go Away, Mono!
I'm joining in on the all new Friday Follow-me, this week, go ahead and check it out, it's sure to be ♪unforgettable, in every way♪ (Nat King Cole)
Tomorrow is the last day to enter my giveaway for the One eskimO CD and Tshirt. Make sure you get your entry in.
Who knew how bad Mono could be?! I mean, it's just a little kissing virus, right? like a cold? You get a sore throat and you're a little tired, no big deal, right? Oh, I was so wrong!
Mono is awful! #1 has been dealing with this horrible virus for 3 weeks now. To make it worse, she couldn't follow the rules and start with the sore throat, so they could identify it, right away. Nope, she had to do it the hard way with vomiting, fever, dehydration, headache, & stomach pain. This combined with high liver enzymes, led the doc to believe it was something much more fatal, and it took a week for us to finally get results! Now, we are so happy that it's only Mono, but enough already! Go away! All she wants to do is sleep, she doesn't want to eat, and their is nothing we can do but let the virus run it's course! Mono sucks! ♪You're no good you're no good, you're no good, "Mono" you're no good♪ (Linda Ronstadt)
And, now, as if being sick isn't enough, now, her wisdom teeth are coming in!
"Mom, I think I've got a tooth coming in."
"Oh, it's you're wisdom teeth."
"Will they make me smart?"
"Yes, of course, instantly." "Duh"
Writer's Workshop: My wedding, or, Why it's Whack
When I got married, I was 17, and 5 months pregnant with #1. For months, I had been arguing with my mom about getting married, (who am I kidding, I was always arguing with my mom, this was just the latest topic...) HOLD UP! *screeching brakes* ♪ hold up, wait a minute, let me put some boom in it♪ (Salt n Pepa)
Let me back up a minute, this is important, so listen up!
No mother wants to hear their teenage daughter say that she's pregnant, but, it may happen, because let's face it: TEENS ARE HAVING SEX! Don't fool yourself.

Pouring my heart out: Some Days
I sat down to pour my heart out and this is what I got:
Some days I just can't focus, I want to be doing everything but what I should be.
Some days I feel all alone in my little world, life in my little square room where it is so quiet, my thought echo off the walls.
Some days I'm so crowded I can't think through all the noise and I just want to scream at the top of my lungs for everyone to just "SHUT UP!"
Some days I'm energetic, I bounce, I jump, I sing, I dance, I laugh at everything I can.
Some days I drudge on through the day, like in a bog of molasses, slowly, step by step with every bit of energy I can muster, I move forward.
Some days, I sit thinking warm thoughts of my pleasant existence, of my heart filled with love, and warm thoughts of you.
Some days I'm angry, and I can't help but let you know. I take it out on everyone that crosses my path so they may feel and know my wrath.
Some days are predictable with everything going just as predicted, blahseeblahseeblah.
Some days are surprise after instant surprise, again and again I'm hit with something new.
Some days are just normal, they just are, and I, just am.
Some days are good, as am I, and that makes me smile,
some days.
Followed by this fabulous guy singing in my head:
♪some guys have all the luck, some guys have all the pain, some guys have...♪ (Rod Stewart)

Hey Ho
♪Hey ho, nobody knows you're not coming home.♪ Love it! Gin Wigmore's sound reminds me of Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone. I 'm digging her deep sultry soulful sound. The dark campy-ness of this music video is so much fun. Check it out. And, if you like this song, find out how you can get a free download of her single Golden Ship.
