mushy.

has anyone ever heard of the baby food diet? well, if you haven't it's pretty simple to understand, let me start by telling you that all you eat is soft food-with a little baby spoon of course-and you are not allowed to chew anything. i'm on that diet right now and have been for the past five days. why? because i had to have all four of my wisdom teeth removed. i'm not a crazy woman who likes to try all these gimmicky diets-like the "eat cereal for 2 weeks and lose 2 inches off my waist" or the "only eat protein and don't eat any carbs for the rest of your life diet"-please, those don't work. we all know that. what does work is eating a balanced meal and if you splurge, you have to do it in moderation.

back to what i really wanted to talk about...

it was a seamless procedure. i have no recollection of the doctor informing me of when he was going to inject me with the anesthesia-i think i know why-why?-because i was scared of dying. i was scared of not being able to wake up. i have quite an imagination. all i remember were the nurses sticking the needle in my wonderful vein and injecting me with medicine to give me a very dry mouth.

i woke up. crying. panicking. when i started hearing voices around me i opened my eyes. i was incredibly dizzy. i saw my nurse hoovering over me-so dizzy i saw her 4 times. closed my eyes. opened them again. much better. i remembering wanting to leave the dentist and go home. my sweet husband drove me home and took care of me like a champ.

i don't remember eating anything that day. i was a complete zombie. when the next morning rolled around i was all rested and ate nothing but jello. i loved it. it was so refreshing. so sweet. i love sweets. so i ate jello, applesauce, sweet potatoes, and greek yogurt for the next couple of days. let me tell ya something, i am so over sweets (what a great way to get rid of that bad habit). i started adding in some mashed potatoes with gravy and  soups to help break it up a little bit, but it's not really working for me. i hate to whine, but i just really want some grains and chewy protein!

that is all....for now.
