Some Fun Stuff

Yesterday your Bits girl had a dentist appointment. I hate dental appointments. Long story...I've had a lot of dental drama and trauma, and the mere thought of a dentist absolutely petrifies me. I went in a bit worried that something would be wrong {history lends itself to this}. Everyone around me told me I was overreacting and everything would be fine...and in some ways, it was. But I was diagnosed with periodontal disease, which means I'll have to go in next month for some extensive work under sedation.

God bless sedation. :)

Anyway. Because of this news and all the mental stamina it took to get through that appointment...today's blog is less of the eternal significance and more of just pointless fluff. But I hope you enjoy it anyway.

And if you want to start praying now about that appointment for later...please do! :)

I am stealing these questions from a blog post Natasha did earlier this week. Thought they were fun ones! And jut for funsies...I'll have Ryan answer as well!

What movie have you watched three or more times?
Ryan: {And I quote} Oh EASY! Dumb and Dumber!
Bekah: Where the Heart Is
...and therein you see the difference between us. HA!!

What was the first blog {if you can remember} that you read?
Ryan: {To me} Actually, probably yours. The only blogs I read are yours and the Colts blog.
Bekah: Hmmmm...I think the first one I read was Deb Wuertley's blog, called "Wuertly, Overtly." She doesn't blog anymore and I miss her.

Do you listen to the radio? If so, which station?
Ryan: I listen to you anytime I can catch you.  {Isn't he a good husband?}
Bekah: Do I listen to the radio? Um YES! Which station? Better be WBCL!!!

What is your favorite summer time activity?
Ryan: Anything on a lake. Except fishing. I would probably even do that if it involved coffee. And sandwiches. And cookies.
Bekah: Obviously anything on a lake goes without saying. But in the realm of my real world, I'd say anything in the pirogi: hammock, eating outside, fire pit - any of that outdoor living.

Who/what was your first concert?
Ryan: I think it may have been John Michael Montgomery. I was a country fan back then.
Bekah: Truthfully don't remember, but I think it may have been a Gaither Vocal Band concert. That would shock everyone.

Do you camp? If so, do you tent, trailer, cabin, RV?
Ryan: I've camped in a tent. I've stayed in a cabin.
Bekah: I've camped in a hotel.




Where are you in your family? (First, Middle, Youngest, Only?)
Ryan:  First in the birth order, and you can tell by my oldest child quirks. You know, organized, good looking, athletic...ha ha.
Bekah: Youngest in the birth order but raised as an only child, since there was a 16 year age gap between me and the closest sister. You can tell by my quirks. You know, organized in theory, weird, non-athletic...ha ha.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Ryan: mint chocolate chip
Bekah: moose tracks

Do you have an entire CD collection of one particular singer?
Ryan: Oh no. Maybe Weird Al. But that's it. Just kidding. Maybe.
Bekah: I used to...and then I sort of gave up! Maybe it was from working in radio all day? I used to have EVERYTHING by Point of Grace and the Gaither Vocal Band and David Phelps. {Obviously.}

Do or did you have pets?
Ryan: Yes, we have Braeya Jo. We had several dogs when I was growing up. I was traumatized by their deaths on the farm.
Bekah: Obviously Braeya Jo now...and some of you long time Bits readers will remember her older brother, Kaegan, who died in 2011. I had tons of cats growing up and a few dogs too.

Pie or cake?
Ryan: Pie. Pie every day. All day. With coffee please.
Bekah: What is this OR word? Why not pie AND cake?

Thanks for hanging out with us for our random words of fun...hope you enjoyed!! Feel free to tell me any of these about you if you'd like!!

I went to that concert with Ryan. It was an interesting ride home. Lol. Good times.

Tamar SB said...

Hotel camping - amen!!
AND yes - AND - the best word when talking about deserts. Can we ad the ice cream to the cake AND pie?

Totally relate to the "only" child. My sister is 7.5 years older than I am - my mom says we were two only kids!

I'll keep you in my prayers for the dentist!!

Hey there! I believe I have made my feelings about the dentist well-known over the years on my blog. I just wanted to let you know that I too had to under-go the same procedure that you will (caused by avoiding the dentist for too long). I won't say it was fun, but Zoloft and laughing gas make the dentist A LOT better. I've had worse things done and once it's over, you shouldn't really have to do it again if you keep up with cleanings every 6 months.

I have my next appt. next week, so I can commiserate with you!

Natasha said...

I love that answered these questions! I really love that Ryan answered them too!

And I will be praying for the dentist appointment. Yay for sedation!

Bekah said...

Shari - Big bummer!! Do pictures of Braeya help??

Mark - five of you kids? I've learned something today!!!

Shawn - I can ONLY imagine

Tamar - YES!! Ice cream and cake and pie. And can we have it now???

Christina - how are you feeling? Not from the dentist but from your back? I'm glad to know you go through it okay - gives me hope!!

Natasha - Thanks for providing my inspiration!!!

Bekah,

Well, I don't know what you've heard or not, but I did indeed re-herniate the same disc, only even worse this time. Thankfully, the pain is not as bad, but I can't let it get that bad again.

I go for a repeat surgery in two weeks (Aug. 14th). If this doesn't stick, then things get tricky and a lot more complex (think rods and screws and bone grafts!!!)

Please pray that this time works for a good long time (I don't really believe I'll be able to put off the fusion procedure forever, but I hope it will be many years from now.)

And yes, you are having the same procedure I did. My gums were sore for a few days, but it wasn't terrible. Did the dentist mention doing this in two sessions? 4-5 hours is a long time for anyone to have to keep their mouth open like that.
