White Easter
I supposed everybody's seen the flooding around St. Louis on TV. Luckily, there isn't any flooding here at Casa de Cud. I did have a shock to my system when I looked out the window at work yesterday and saw it snowing its ass off. It snowed, then stopped, then snowed, then stopped. At one time it did something I don't know if there's a name for. It was like a cross between hail and snow. Not little ice pellets, more like tiny snow balls, or maybe aerated hail. The ground was warm enough it didn't stick, but it was very pretty coming down. Just not what you expect for Easter. At least the snow waited until the afternoon when all the kids were finished hunting for eggs.

New Choppers
I finally made it to the dentist Wednesday and got two of my teeth worked on. I was going to get one crown, but The Man thought since we had the money to do both teeth now we might as well go ahead and bite the bullet. So now I've got two temporary crowns. It wasn't that bad. Not as bad as when I had to get a root canal. Not that I would recommend going out and getting your teeth whittled down and covered up with fakes. It does beat getting them yanked out, but it's not really a fun thing. When the dentist was grinding down my teeth it smelled just like my vacuum when the belt sticks. Pretty rank. I was feeling sort of sorry for myself until the dental assistant told me a man was in earlier that day getting 5 crowns. And a filling. Perked me right up.

Pissed
When The Man got his big guvmint check we decided each of us should get something special to make up for not getting anything while we were broke on our ass. I picked a printer, and The Girl decided she wanted a Wii. We've had it a couple of weeks now and it's not too bad. I'm not a big video game person, but it's something to do besides turn into a zombie watching TV. The Man decided he wanted to get a new water bed mattress. We used to have one for a long time, then decided to try something else and got one of those memory foam astronaut beds. He decided maybe his back would feel better if we went back to a water bed.
So, we got a new mattress and filled it up with tap water that felt like ice water. It took 3 days to warm it up enough to sleep on it. Yesterday was the second day on the water bed, and I woke up in a puddle. I'm still not 100% sure what happened. At first I actually thought I might have peed the bed, but the only place my pajamas were wet at was right on my hip. Bone dry everywhere else, so it wasn't me. It wasn't coming from The Man's side of the bed, either, there was just this puddle right between us. The bed didn't seem to be deflating, or leaking. My best guess is the dog peed the bed.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Must Have Cooties
Our clocks are still messed up at work. Now there's something else messed up. There's a note up saying not to use the ice from the ice machine. That's too bad, but the way they worded the notice was strange. It said the ice "was not as it should be" whatever that is supposed to mean. You mean it's not frozen? What? I finally asked someone at the desk and she said the ice was dirty, but she didn't know exactly how it got that way.
