I *heart* Novocain
Or, Why my post is so short today
I am blogging under the influence, chickies. Stand back!
Last week I told you guys about my family’s time-honored tradition of getting good and sick over the holidays, and this year proved no exception.
I spent the long weekend gulping down a wide array of over-the-counter pain relievers because a recent filling in my back molar decided to mutiny.
It hurt so badly for so long that by the time I finally climbed into the endodontist’s chair tonight, I was actually excited for my root canal. "Bring on the Novocain!" is my new life motto.
Then, when I came home, my mom and I got into a big debate about whether I eat enough protein/amino acids (me: yea, she: nay)
Now I am having a gigantic Ghirardelli brownie for dinner. (Mom, if you’re reading this: brownies contain eggs, which are an excellent source of both protein and amino acids! Plus, I had some organic spinach earlier!)
In the immortal words of Ice Cube: It was a good day…

You know, I've had two root-canal moments in my life, and all I can say is what a bloody relief it is afterwards.
Enjoy your Ghirardellie brownie, Beth - you deserve it! (It totally has protein.)

Brownies have flour which is made from wheat- so it is like they are whole grain. Butter is made up dairy- and everyone knows women need dairy to hold off bone disease, chocolate has known cancer fighting properties. It is basically a health food.
The Non LC Eileen who loves a good brownie.

Non-LC Eileen--
This is exactly what I am saying. Next time my mom starts up again, I am going to have her conference call with you.
