I rang the bell today!!! (and day 14)

Today I finished up a root canal, which was the last requirement I needed to finish in order to graduate. Yay! I would be happy if it was the last root canal that I do. :) So I got to ring the bell - it's a cowbell that has a saying on it something about how every time it rings a dental student gets his/her wings - and we walk up and down the aisles at school ringing the bell. Most people stop working and clap or cheer, so it's a lot of fun to do. :) It's a crazy/awesome/scary/thrilling feeling to be done with school. I've been in school for so long, I almost don't know how I'm going to do without consulting someone about everything I do!

So, tonight Wyatt and I went on a mommy/son date to the mall (okay, my hairdryer died this morning so there was an underlying urgency to our trip to the mall :) ) and we had dinner together at Panera. He enjoyed people watching and eating his cereal bar and bites of my bread dipped in soup. Then we went to Kohls and I got some new tennis shoes, as I think my old tennis shoes may be contributing to my left knee/calf/something hurting. Kohls was also having a 40% off sale on Fisher Price toys, and I had a 20% off coupon, so I let Wyatt "pick out" two new toys. Sometimes I think he gets bored with the toys in the basket. When we move, I am going to try to sort out toys and try to rotate them so there is always something different to play with.

Anyway, tonight was day 14 - two weeks! - of the shred. I'm definitely making some progress - I've lost just over 5 pounds and gone down a notch on my belt. Woo! I had a hard time getting motivated to do the workout tonight, but every time I do it, it goes so fast. So I still did it, just a little late. The only problem with working out later is that I'm fired up and don't want to go to bed. :) Oh well. I'll get there eventually...
