While my tooth saga continues right up to my leaving for the east coast tomorrow evening, I have to admit there are some good people in the world. I finally decided to get a second opinion on why I was getting the dental run around since March. (Which, incidentally, is the last time I had a good night's sleep. Wednesday March 26, to be specific.) I decided to get a second opinion at Sugarhouse Dental Spa because if I was going to have to pay, I wanted a massage and a latte out of the deal. Not only are the folks who work there fantastic, but they immediately whisk you into a massage chair while you fill out your paperwork, and offer you a coffee.
Dr. Graham there confirmed everything my dentist had said about the debacle that has turned out to be my whole mouth, but he explained it in a way that made everything seem all better, and while he didn't fix anything today, I felt okay about the whole thing. As soon as I get all squared away, I'll return in six months for my cleaning.
And another latte.
And a paraffin dip on my hands.
So I leave on a jet plane tomorrow night, and when I return, I'll get that pesky root canal and maybe finally a full night of rest. While I'm excited to head to Boston, I am continually amazed about the cool stuff we have right here in Salt Lake. Namely, Larry Miller's Motorsports Park. Having always liked cars (my mom says I got the name Holly after her favorite movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. My dad says I got the name Holly after his 1966 Corvette which had a Holley carburetor. I guess everyone won.) I found this particularly interesting.
The other night I met the host of the following video who had been out at Larry's raceway all day doing donuts in Mustangs and drooling over Shelbys. Rough job, for sure. And when I get back from Baahston next week, I'll have to play tourist in my own backyard and check out this great car museum we seemingly overlook here.
You ski. I ski. Hold on while I make this awkward.

Is that a picture of your Dad with the Corvette? If so, your Dad was way more badass than I ever gave him credit for. I mean, I knew he was badass, but I didn't know he was quite *that* badass.
One question though: how did he go from that 'Vette to a teal mid-90s Thunderbird? Seems like a huge step backwards.
I wish they still made shirts like the one your dad is wearing.
1. love the new header. pretty!
2. your dad = super badass.
3. i'm so sorry about your continuing pain. having just been through the most intensive sinus infection anyone on planet has ever had (this is proven i swear) i can't imagine tooth pain for more than a month. i'm so sorry. hope it is fixed soon and you sleep like a baby.
4. have fun in boston. i'll wave real hard at you sunday about noon okay?...wave back this way...maybe we'll get lucky and glimpse each other. :o
oh and 5. your drawing is coming...i started a sketch this morning...
Kris: Yep, that's The Dude. He's always been bad ass, and I'm glad you know he's even more bad ass than you previously realized!!
The T-Bird was NOT teal! It was Midnight Opal, officially, that sorta black/blue thing; and since he played in the latin band at that time, it was still bad ass. But he did always seem to have a thing for American made cars.
h.justin: There's your new calling into fashion design for men. Make a line of late 1960s t-shirts. When you're famous for it and showing your t-shirts at Bryant Park, I can say, "I knew him when..."
Kel: 1. Thanks! I need to tweak the picture and stuff to make it fit a little better, but it's always nice to have a new look. Your new header inspired me to make a change.
2. WAY super bad ass. I agree.
3. I should be over the teeth soon, but I was sorry to hear that you've been feeling so crappy. Are you about over feeling like total hell? I'm glad you're better, selfishly, because I miss your daily blog updates.
4. I'll wave at noon Sunday for sure. It'll be like east coast psychic friends connection. I want to head out to NYC sometime soon, then we can have frosty alcoholic beverages.
5. SERIOUSLY?!? You're awesome!! It will be a permanent fixture on my page, and when YOU'RE famous, I can say, "I knew her when." :)
(I'm also excited to see what a cartoon of me with boobs looks like) Thank you.
