stick it to the man!

I just ate a bunch of oreos for breakfast because i'm mad at my dental insurance. Tooth decay and all that. (in hindsight, this will probably backfire on me, but it tasted good!)

Understand your policy before you go to the dentist! We have a new insurance this year, from husbands office. We found out the hard way that we're only covered for $1000 per year (that's roughly a cleaning and 2 metal fillings), and that even though they say we're covered for major work at 50% (up to the $1000 of course), we're pretty much not covered for anything, ever. They have this sneaky little "waiting period" set up so that you don't qualify for any major work (crowns, root canals, bridges, etc) until after you've been a member for a year*

*more specifically, until after EVERYONE IN YOUR OFFICE has been a member for a year! ie, when we switch to my company's dental in the fall (which there is no doubt we'll be doing) everyone in husband's office will have to restart their waiting periods! Isn't that absurd?!?! How do these insurance companies get away with these things!!???!!??

Rant complete.

Cookie's Revenge

I broke my tooth on a cookie. OOOooohh, the irony!!

I bit lovingly into a soft chocolate chip cookie, and suddenly i felt like i was eating a rock (not typically found in soft delicious chocolate chip cookies). A porcelain filling came out! and then, THEN, i bit down on the broken filling, and broke ANOTHER filling! And it's all the cookie's fault! Or maybe the dentist's. I think I'll blame the dentist. Grrrrr!!! Two holes in my mouth! And no cookies, because I'm afraid to eat! :(

Where the heck did June go?

Ok, so i've been a terrible blogger. But that doesn't mean i've been neglecting my cookies. Actually, I think I OD'd on cookies yesterday, i even woke up with a belly ache in the middle of the night that i fear may have been cookie induced. I love my country, I love my cookies.

I've been so busy! I don't even know what I've done in the past month of not blogging. Well i guess i do know if i stop to think about it... i've gained a few pounds. So, number one on the list of things i've done this month is eat.
