Miscellania

I feel like I've eaten a ton of stuff. I haven't, but I did eat way more dessert-type stuff than I normally do. Little Italian pastries to big Ghiradelli brownies, I had some. I am so not getting on a scale for a while.

I was just looking at a blog written by a woman who lives in the South, and I found myself wondering if people who live in the South think of us as 'the North'. I've always kind of liked the image of the South, personally. I would imagine that after living two thirds of my life in the Northeast, there'd be a lot of things that would drive me crazy, from the pace of life to the local stores (Piggly-Wiggly??? What the hell is that?), but the image I have is of people who pretty much like their lives. I like the image of Southern food, too, which is odd, because I'm not a foodie, and the idea of yams this and sweet potato that and biscuits and gravy just freaks me out. Why you would want to ruin a perfectly good biscuit.... but the image appeals to me. I don't know why.

I have a lot to read, but I'm tired, so it can wait.

Tomorrow I go to see the oral surgeon for a status check on these implants. I am betting that he will say they look good, and that I can use the appliance to chew if I want to.... occasionally. A little bit. But, you know, not too much. However, if he says anything more tense than that, I am going to seriously not be a happy camper.
