Tonight's my bachelorette party!

Except this week I had two root canals and got a pretty severe gum infection, which means I'm on heavy pain killers and antibiotics- so no big night on the town as planned. Yay for looking like a chipmunk and pretending to be 13 again with a bunch of chick flicks and ice cream. :(

Ouch, I remember looking like that when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I hope all the swelling goes away for your big day. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone's wedding pics!

And I am bummed. I thought I'd have Monday off since no classes, but apparently my boss decided to change my normal work schedule in light of the university's day off. So no day off until next month. =(
