Armageddon In My Mouth

Some things are a party in your mouth.  Like the vinegar sauce at The Smokin' Pig.  That is a party.  In. Your. Mouth.  Or the cake batter for this homemade funfetti.  Best cake batter ever.  Again, its a party, in your mouth.

Wanna know what is not a party in your mouth?  Getting 3 wisdom teeth pulled.  That's more like Armageddon, in your mouth.  Its also what I did this morning, plus one filling and a bit of polishing, just for kicks.  The dentist kept asking if there was a bad taste in my mouth.  Uh, yeah.  "You're gonna feel some pressure" he says.  Liar.  Its more than a little pressure, and "a small pinch" is also a misnomer.

12 minutes.
Next time you eat yogurt, time yourself.
Then you'll realize how ridiculously long that is.

All the same, today was the scheduled day for armageddon to happen to my mouth, and although my tongue is still half numb and it takes me 12 minutes to eat one yogurt, I'm glad that I didn't bolt halfway through like I wanted.  Seriously, I was sitting there, half numbed up, and I couldn't stop thinking about escaping.  I also couldn't shake the feeling that the DH was trying to drown me, but I'm sure that was all in my head - she was actually a darling southern girl.

In related  news, I heard the best southern phrase today, for my collection: "This question is really for old ladies.  They bruise like peaches."  [note: be sure to read the highlighted portion softly, with a southern drawl. Amazeballs.]

But Armageddon or no, tonight is a night for dinner out with friends, and hopefully some good times with my played-it-once-and-couldn't-get-it-out-of-my-head-so-I'm-saying-its-my-favorite, favorite game, Curses.  Because even though the evening after AIMM (you can figure that one out) (its the title of this post), when good friends are moving and you have one night left to see them, you do it.  You suck it up (but not too hard, don't wanna get dry socket) and take your big kid (and pain-relieving) pills and you just do it.  And it will be good.  And I may or may not have already made that cake recipe, and eaten a bit of the batter.  The fun has already begun!
