*I had a root canal yesterday. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I had my iPod while the dentist drilled and filed away, keeping my eyes squeezed shut. Afterwards, I felt okay, albeit extremely numb. A couple of hours later I was feeling like someone ran over my face and took a vicadin and went to bed. This morning, no numbness, but just an ache in my jaw. Not something I'd care to repeat, but not the worst-case scenario either. The cost was another matter. $1500!!! That's after insurance. gah.

*Under the super-cool department, my Snape Travel Bug, got his picture taken in front of a London phone booth! It's made it's goal! OMG, where should I have him go now? I'm thinking that I want him back, but I think he needs to have his picture taken with every Lily he comes across. *snickers* Any other ideas on where Snape should go?

*I am not happy with M's new softball coach. First strike - at Sunday's game, she played right field for the entire time, despite attending extra practices for catching. The girls are all required to play at least one inning infield, she did not do that. We were also told after the game that they would be playing the same position for the entire season. Uhm, no. Fall ball is supposed to be about learning as much as possible. J wrote an email to the league president about this, and hopefully it will be addressed. Second strike - M was in tears after practice yesterday. Her coach yelled at her because she ran home from 3rd base after a hit was made. Exactly what she was supposed to do. He apparently didn't see the hit, and chewed her out for "randomly" running home. Not on, coach.

*Portus is in need of a Chair of Editing and Publishing. I know there are a ton of talented betas out there! The event is entirely volunteer-run. You don't have to attend to be able to contribute, and it's a great resume building if you're just starting your career. You can find more information about the position here.

Good weekend, spent mostly outdoors. Beautiful weather too! It's best summed up as 4 softball games, 1 karate class, one jarred knee (M's) and a sunburned nose (mine). Both girls' teams are still in the playoffs - so at least two more games on Monday and Wednesday nights.
