this & that

it's so surreal that the creation of our new house is finally coming to fruition.  this is our design team... one designer and two architects.  our first meeting went great! we spent 1-1/2 hours discussing all the basics of the house (size, style, layout, etc) and creating a realistic construction budget based on our wish list.  the funds are tight and we've already had to compromise but i'm confident that we can build something that we will love...or at least i hope so.  hah.

here i am getting new nubbies put on my teeth.
this is the curing step of the nub process...each nubbie is cured so it doesn't fall off!

in other news, i'm back on invisalign.  omg.  turns out that my little refinement is not so little.  i have 15 new trays on the top and bottom...and a gazillion nubbies on my teeth...to make my chompers as perfectly positioned as possible.  these new trays are super tight and are pulling and rotating my teeth in sooooo many directions.  i feel like my teeth are going to fall out whenever i remove the trays to eat.  i don't remember ever having this feeling during my first and second course of aligning.  i guess their new teeth rotating technology works!

and lastly, i bought a new little refer for the hotel today to be used as a second refrigerator for produce.  i went to sears before lunch and was told that the refer was $569.99 less 5% discount plus $84.99 for delivery.  after thinking about it, i went back tonight at 8:45 pm to purchase the refer because i wanted it now now now and to my surprise, the tag now said the price was $509.99!  what the?!  i guess there's a sale that's starting on friday morning so they changed all the tags early and were willing to honor the price...and give me either a 10% discount or $15 delivery!  whooo-hooo.  i took the $15 delivery to save the hubby from having a cow about picking up the refer (and it was a bigger savings than the 10%).  

enough blabbing.  time to go to sleep.  btw - i'm not doing so well with my resolution to sleep earlier.
