Went to dance today and we added a bit to our routine.

After class we went to eat at this place called California Cafe on 23rd across the street from Shephard Mall. Me and Beth ordered salt and peppered quail. I at at least 3 quail. They were little and split down the middle. Took me about 2 halves before I figured out how to eat them efficently. Yummy! Yummy

Delphi ordered half a roasted duck and Sue some sort of roll and dumplings. We all ate on each other's dish. All in all, we did about $40 damage to some seriously good food.

Has one of the biggest menus I've seen for an Asian resturant. The only problem was the waitress would stand right next to me and lean across my plate with her arm in my face when she refilled everyone's water/tea. Finally I snapped my jaws at her elbow and I think she got the hint and didn't do that again. If she had, I would have used her white long sleeve to wipe my mouth on.

My jaw is still a wee bit tender from the surgery.

Sunday Tommy called me up to invite me to lunch with him, Andy and Grant. I said sure since I was looking for a reason not to do laundry. After lunch I went home to get K-PAX and they went to rent a movie and we all ended up at Andy's. We watched K-PAX first. Tom came home after volleyball and hockey games, took a shower and joined watched too. Tommy had a game at 9 so he left during Bandits.

After the movie Tom channel surfed for a while then Jen and Andy went to bed. Me and Tom sat on the floor watching the end of Quills before I said I needed to leave. After about half an hour of kissing Tom in the foyer I did finally leave.

Wednesday I learned that Tommy had been hurt in his hockey game and had a splint on his leg. He's also loosing his job at Hertz on Tuesday due to cutbacks. "I've known about it for a while now, sorry I didn't tell you." he said when I expressed concern and sympathies for him. Apparently he has quite a sizable sum saved up and he's taking a month, maybe two off and bum around before looking for another job.

Either my dentist/oral surgon is a pain management genius or I'm tougher than I thought.

The last time I had this done, with a different doctor, I was in terrible pain and needed the lortab he perscribed. This time my new doctor didn't think I'd need anything stronger than over the counter pain relievers but gave me a prescription for lortab anyway. Never got it filled. The pain is minimal. My jaw hurts the most where I got the shots at. When I brushed my teeth there was no bleeding. It wasn't as sensitive when I tried to eat.

There was no drooling sensation when I was numb.

I'm having oral surgery tomorrow. 8am.

On the plus side, since I'm going to be home and in pain all day and not wanting to look at a messy house, I got a bit of cleaning done. Cleaned the kitchen, did a load of laundry, straightned a bit and vacuumed. After coming back with the laundry I spotted my grocery list on the table and realized I had forgot to grocery shop. I do need soup if nothing else.

I have no one to take care of me tomorrow. I've mixed feelings about that. Part of me says fine, I was raised to be tough and independent. Part of me says, give me a warm body, a heartbeat and a pair of arms to wrap around me to keep me safe and warm and make the pain at least a bit more bearable.

I've asked Ray a few times if he'd mind stopping in and while he says 'sure' I'm not counting on him. I've learned that lesson the long and hard way. I'm stocked up on ice cream and have a pharmacy right close to the dentists office that takes my insurance so I'll be able to get my perscripions filled quickly. I'm going to ask that they be phoned in when I get there that way I don't have to wait when I pick them up.

So I'm off to the grocery store and get soup, bread, sugar and milk.

I called Tommy this evening to apologize to him. I didn't mean to freak him out. He in turned apologized for being freaked out.

Never in my life would I ever imagine myself apologizing for kissing a guy. The reaction I got was exactly like that scene in Back to the Future when Michael J. Fox got kissed by his mom.

"I'm scaring you aren't I?" I asked after the kiss
"Yeah, you are, actually. I just don't have much experience with this." he said.

I kissed him again. Then worried that I freaked him out. It wouldn't surprise me if he's a 27 yr old virgin.

So, the House of Three Men is currently reigned over by Jen, keeper of Andy who is the owner of the House of Three Men. That leaves me with the 2 Toms. I like them both equally but Tommy's innocence isn't in his favor. I don't mind 'training' him, but neither do I want the job of breaking his heart either. Some other woman can fuck him over and then he can come to me. I prefer my men broken in.

Tom and Tommy are friends, teammates in hockey. I don't want to mess up their friendship. I'd rather see Tom in the hall and think of his lips on my neck than lie in his arms and think of the friendship I destroyed.

I was at the grocery store the other day looking at sweet potatoes and guess what was right next to it? Twice washed, Idaho flavored shrink wrapped baking potatoes. Poke a few holes through the potatoe, pop in the microwave for a few minutes and there's your baked potatoe.

That's just wrong
