I’m one of those people that are always on time, almost to the point of being a little too obsessive about it. I get really wigged out if I have to wait around for people, and I don’t want anyone waiting around for me like that. Oh just thinking about it makes me heart race.

With me being so neurotic about time, you can probably imagine that I rely on my watch a lot! I know I have my cell phone and my laptop to tell me the time, but there is something about a nice pretty watch on my wrist that I just love. And I just love this Seiko Watch. It’s a bangle style which means it hangs like a bracelet on your wrist, and looks really dressy. The diamonds make it look really classy too. I love it!

For some reason getting these new shoes made me feel better about myself today.

How stupid is that? Do my shoes really define myself as a person? I’m pissed off at myself for thinking new shoes would make me feel better.

I really like them, and they look adorable on my feet, but I feel stupid and superficial for getting them.

Is that strange? Do I need a therapist?

I’m going to do a quick bullet point entry, because I just got a new batch of Netflix movies in, and I want to watch them.

• I got a really nice Christmas card from Amy yesterday. She’s got a lot going on in her life right now, so I thought it was really sweet that she took the time to send a card to my family. (Special note to Amy…I meant to comment earlier on your forum entry, but I got sidetracked at work. I’m thinking of you, hang in there woman!)
• The guy I was a Secret Santa for at work walked off the job on Tuesday, so I had to scramble to find out who his was, so I could take over the duties. I went to hell the mall after work and bought my new person the cologne that he listed on his “interest sheet,” Ralph Lauren Explorer. Thank the heavens above I don’t work around him. It smells like butthole.
• I am about 3/4 of the way done with my Christmas shopping. Express shipping is expensive. I don’t know why I wait year after year and spend more money on shipping than gifts. I need to get my act together next year. It’s ridiculous.
• And here’s a special Christmas greeting from me to you. Don’t say I never gave you anything.

I have a zit on the left side of my nose (on your right if you are looking at me) that is huge, under the skin, and red. There is no head for me to pop, so I sit here with this growth on my face, afraid to fire up Skype and video chat with my friends. They don’t want to see me in full zit mode, right???

Did you ever think in a million years that you can make money popping zits? You can! I’ve been online for over 10 years and have never once searched the phrase “zit popping,” nor did I think I could make money from doing it.

Well not until tonight…I’m an entrepreneur, what can I say?

I probably have the worlds worst sensitive teach. I also passed this trait down to my youngest son Justin. Whenever we drink anything hot or cold, our teeth just ache. We have both tried several different brands of toothpaste for sensitive teeth, with no luck, including Sensodyne. It usually last about an hour, then we’re right back where we started. It just doesn’t give much long term relief like you think it should.

I recently got a free sample of Biotene Sensitive toothpaste. I’ve been using it for about three days now, and I am already noticing a big difference in the sensitivity of my teeth. In fact, my morning coffee didn’t hurt my teeth at all, and I’m always grimacing when I drink hot coffee. I’m pretty excited about this stuff, and as soon as my free sample runs out, I’m going to go buy some more.

Now that I know it works, I’m going to have my son Justin try it out. Not only does it have Xylitol, an agent that helps prevent cavities, but it also helps prevent canker sores and mouth irritation. You can get Biotene sensitive toothpaste at your local pharmacy like Walgreen’s, CVS, Rite-Aid, and Long’s Drug.
