the best day of my life

Today I kicked off the first official day of Spring Break by going to the dentist. Yea me. I got a lecture on my lack of regular flossing (apparently 3-4 times a week is not enough). Then, the really cute (but of course, married) dentist who was filling in for my usual one found two cavities. He told that soft drinks were probably the culprit. Thank you Dr. Bishop for trying to take away one of the simple joys in my life. (p.s. I found it highly ironic that one my pastors posted a blog on cavities today-check it out here)

While the hygienist went to town on my gums, I tried to focus my attention elsewhere since the word "gentle" apparently wasn't in her vocabulary. The term "dentist office music" wasn't coined for nothin'. The songs were horrible. And then came Dido. There is only one of her songs that I can tolerate and it's only because it's in one of my favorite movies, "Love Actually". This was not the song playing, but rather, it was the one about "I want to thank you for giving me the best day-ay of my life.". So, I started thinking about what would make up my "best day". I decided that Tuesday March 17, 2009 would be a Best Day for Stephanie Shuler.

Here's what I plan on doing so far:
1. An early morning run
2. A bubble bath
3. A spa pedicure
4. Coffee/journaling/reading at a random coffee house (TBD)
5. Laying out and catching some sun and possibly taking a nap in the process
6. Eating whatever the heck I want for dinner without concern for caloric intake
7. who knows what else?!!?!

It probably won't be the best day of my life, but it should be pretty good.
