Happy Birthday Tara!

Let's see if I can attempt to update the blog while eating a little lunch. Nothing exciting to talk about. Finished up a study at work and now I'm faced w/ the data. So overwhelming and though I love numbers and stats I feel like I'm hitting a wall sometimes. I hate stupid Prism sometimes, too many choices, want to just get out some graph paper and do it by hand. So have multiple email exchanges w/ the fox every day, sending graphs and trying to figure out what he wants. Plus I have other projects to work on and though I'm trying real hard to stay focused it's not so easy. I'm doing much better than earlier this year so that's kinda good.

Went to the dentist yesterday for the first time in 7 years, the dentist I found on Yelp. Nothing wrong at all w/ the teeth, just receding gums. Damned if you do brush HARD, damned if you don't brush. No tartar or calculus just a little plaque on a couple lower incisions. They were all into me because I'm a doctor too and Dr. Joe kept saying I was a keeper and I got superstar attention. At one point Dr. Steve? asked if I had a significant other because I also was a grinder and usually single people do that, I don't know if I caught why, sexual frustration?? not sure but I had to say yes i did have one and then I said 'but he's kinda new' since before him there was not much for a long time and who knows maybe I was 'frustrated,' though I think I'm at least or even more frustrated when there's a guy in the picture. Anyway, dentist was fun, see ya in 6 months I guess.

Today is Tara's birthday. The original plan was to go to The Elephant Walk and it's extended restaurant week there w/ 4 courses instead of 3 so I was all excited about it but she changed her mind today. I think she's worried about the mix of people coming and the restaurant being too expensive. I said it's her bday she should pick what she wants to do...so no elephant walk this time. It'll be fun regardless, hanging out near Davis. Have to get my hair cut right after work (yes BJ i get my hair cut at the mall), thought I'd take advantage of the blow-dry Blanca does and go out tonight w/ 'styled' hair. Haven't had a haircut since March, it's soooo long! though it'll still be long, Blanca won't cut too much. She likes it long.

Went on a mission to CambridgeSide Monday after work for Sephora and Yankee Candle. Never spend money on makeup but what I had was all crappy and needed new and then Jezabell happened to plurk about blush at Sephora so I wanted to check it out. Ended up buying lots of stuff (this mainly for the dirty boy) there, not really sure what to get but I think I did okay. Just not sure if the money spent is worth it. Looking for this candle holder at Yankee Candle for a friend because she loves Halloween and is getting married in October but apparently they didn't make many and there's been a big demand. Who knew?? Just sucks because I didn't think it'd be such a problem to get and I really want it.

Going to Vermont this weekend w/ Beaky and the Bear to hang out w/ newly married Diana and Anton and some more of her friends. Technically the 4 of us are doing the Nike+ Human Race 10K, we were supposed to run it in NYC but have changed plans to go to Vermont so have to make up our own course) and going to the Brewer's Festival.
