Merry Christmas From My Office!

First and foremost, before I get to my office, I just returned from having the infamous FIVE cavities filled and, as much as I would love to milk it, it wasn't that bad!  My new dentist is FANTASTIC, quick and funny.  All good qualities in a dentist if I do say so myself.  When I left this morning for my 7:30 appointment and realized it was snowing I was ECSTATIC ... until I realized I only grabbed a "fashiony" not so much warm scarf and NO coat!  What?  I'm a Texan, I don't think about coats!  We only need them for 6 days out of the year down here!  What do you expect?  I then arrived at the dentist and had a cleaning BEFORE my five cavities were filled (double whammy, thanks for that surprise) and, of course all the TV's that are there to take your mind off the horrendous noises coming from your mouth were not working, because of the beautiful snow.  The hygenist then proceeded to walk me back to the "special cavity room" after my cleaning and asked if I would like some happy gas.  I'm having five cavities filled.  Do you really have to ask?  The doc was a bit late and she went ahead and started me on the happy gas and let me tell you, by the time he got there he could've said "Okay, I'm going to go ahead and cut your leg off." and I probably would've nodded, smiled and given the thumbs up as "happy" as I was feeling.  However, he did say "I'm not sure how much numbing you're going to need, so just raise your left hand if anything starts to hurt" ... my immediate thought was, "I'm sorry, did you say you're not going to numb me?" (happy gas all the sudden isn't enough anymore) "Did they tell you I have FIVE cavitites?" "Did YOU have some happy gas this morning before making this decision?" "If you're worried about having to give me a shot, don't, I like the sound of that MUCH more than the sound of that tool drilling into the root of my tooth!"  You can imagine my alarm.  Thankfully he was right, I only had to hold my hand up twice and it was really preventative before it got REALLY bad.  Alas, I'm still alive, not numb and/or drooling and am able to be at work and be productive the rest of the day.  And speaking of work, let's get back to the task at hand ... here's a little glimpse of my office all Christmas'ed up! 

My teal tree (if you're a new reader I am OBSESSED with teal, just ask my hubs ... or my family, or my friends or my cell phone cover ... he had to reel it in when I wanted to make our house a teal decorating explosion) with all my girly ornaments.  This is here because it would NOT fly in my house ...

And all my girly ornaments.  I heart them.

And more ...

Oh, and some more ...

And maybe just one more ...

And here is a comprehensive picture of my whole office ...

And last, Merry Christmas from Mobi (as in Moby Dick - I like it spelled w/ "i") my sweet little betta fish, he is very friendly and swims up to me to say hi anytime I get up or sit down ...

PS - I know he looks rough, that's why I bought him.  I saved him from Petco where he was in the bottom of a disgusting cup that hadn't been cleaned in ages.  He was clear white and looked the worst of all the bettas and I just KNEW no one would buy him because he wasn't the prettiest color.  BUT, to my surprise, when I got him in clean water, took care of him and fed him, he turned red!  Sweet boy. 

And that's a little Merry Christmas from my office!  I hope you have a fantastic day in this winter wonderland-like weather!!!
