In honor of Leslie's blog about what annoys her, I am going to tell you a BIG annoyance of mine that happened today! (And don't worry it doesn't involve gross pictures of teeth!)


1. Why is it that if you order Water that means you aren't thirsty? Today at Quiznos, I ordered sandwich, chips, and a water. They pulled out the smallest cup! It was the super small styrofoam cup for coffee that you have maybe at a church gathering...although, the cups we use at Prestoncrest are Route 44 size compared to the one they brought out from below the countertop. Normally, I wouldn't have said anything but my throat hurt today with all the allergies blowing around and I wanted to drink a lot of water and have a cup for later at work. I finally said, "Listen, I mean, Can I have a regular sized cup?" So, she gave me a regular logo'd cup sized small and charged me $.23! How ridiculous is that!! I mean come on! At least at Taco Bueno when you ask they will just give you a large one - free of charge. Even Sonic gives you the big cups with yummy ice for free. I might just have to boycott Quizno's for a while!


2. Why do people think they can talk on the phone and get their teeth cleaned? I had a patient today that had 3 phones - one of which was one of those "Nextel" walkie-talkie type phones and it just kept ringing and dinging and making noise and he would talk every chance he got. I finally asked him, "Can you turn that off?" He leans up, picks up the phone, REPLIES back to the guy with the full "10-4" good buddy lingo, and finally sits back down for me to finish cleaning his teeth-(of which it had been 4 and 1/2 years since his last cleaning!) Please People!!! I didn't feel so bad either when he said at the end..."Man, that really hurt!" I really wasn't extra rough, but when you are moving all around, messing with your phone, and not cleaning your teeth at home anyways, it might be a little sensitive!


The good thing is that I am REALLY not bitter! :) Actually, I had a good day other than sneezing constantly all day! Oh this time of year-love the pretty flowers, budding trees, and green yards but they sure do a number on my nose!


The great thing about today was our dinner! YUMMY! My sister introduced me to the new Bertolli "Dinner for Two" meals. They are in the freezer section and take 10 minutes to prepare! IT WAS SO DELICIOUS!! We had the Shrimp and Linguine with peppers and garlic sauce! Fabulous. I had some grilled chicken left over that I tossed in and also some sundried tomatoes that I need to use up as well. It was ready in an instant and was so good. I try really hard not to make pasta too often but these are going to be kept in the freezer now for sure! It is a great back up! Brad wasn't sure on his schedule the past few nights - he has been working like a dog - and so when he called and said he was on his way, I popped it out, put in in the pan, and Viola! DINNER IS SERVED!!! (And I think they are only around $5 at Walmart!) I think I might add this to the dinners I take to people when they are sick, had a baby etc - I will make them a homemade dinner and then have this to throw in their freezer! There are LOTS of varieties-check them out on Bertolli.com!!


Ok, hopefully this blog entry ended a little more positive than it started-I didn't mean to complain! Have a great week everyone!
