I got a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday - and I haven't been doing too hot.

It took the dentist almost 45 minutes to just pull. The side of my face is a bit swollen and half of the inside of my mouth is blue and bruised. All I can say is "Thank you, Mr Dentist for the percocet." Seriously without it I would be doing much worse right now.

I've been mostly in bed - but have hopped on the computer at odd times to chat with my friends in the 'States because I am six hours ahead of them so its about my only opportunity to do so.

So yeah I'm in a bit of discomfort but hope to be back to normal this weekend. Keith and I had plans to picnic in Cambridge and such - but that might have to wait until next weekend. I think that's about it.

I'm feeling a bit loopy so back to bed I go!

Alright so we've done a lot recently and I haven't gotten to updating my blog to reflect that.

I am taking over the filming/editing of most the wedding videos at NSS indefinately. Do to us being in the UK now its impossible for Keith to film any weekday weddings because he'd lose sleep for work. Weekends are another matter - as long as he has notice he'll probably do those.

He and I went to Stonehenge last weekend - and got soaked. The ONE time we go out without an umbrella and it rains. What do you expect out of England, though? Any time we go out we normally take an umbrella and a sweater or jacket a piece. That's because the weather can (and has) changed so quickly that we've needed it. We enjoyed it anyway though. Wet hair and dripping clothes don't slow us down!

Then we went to Salisburry and saw the cathedral. It was simply gorgeous. After Stonehenge that cathedral was the 2nd oldest thing I've ever seen/been near in my life. I love how the entire place was pretty much open and you could touch anything there. The whole touch deal is why I love children's museums. You get to put your hands on a HUGE piece of history and that's just not something you can do every day. We stopped at a few altars and lit candles and whatnot - and by 'a few' I mean every alter we walked past. We also saw a page of the Magna Carta which is the U.S. equivalent of the Decloration of Independance. Same thing, really (as those who wrote/signed the Decloration of Independance were British :P) but much, MUCH older.

We had sandwiches at a little bistro before heading home. It was a full day full of laughs and such. I didn't pick up any postcards from the places though because i was afraid they would get wet and ruined. The druids were at Stonehenge though - which was awesome. The downside was that there was some American interviewing them and comparing what the druids do to your run of the mill sunday afternoon 'football' spectator. I got pissy and couldn't stand there to listen to it. Could the guy have BEEN any more condescending?!

I have been trying to catch up on my blogs over at Appearance Mode its pretty much pointless. Any time I post something its going to get buried by Sassy. I probably wouldn't mind if she didn't name drop the same people over and over again. Maybe its just me? I don't know. And that layout has GOT to go over there. You can't even read all the entries it shows on the page because it glitches and you get this whole double vision thing ... anyway. I did make a post over at Mean Girls which I'm sure will get me flamed but I couldn't give two shits. Everyone's entitled to their opinion - even if their only opinion is that they don't like my opinion.

Keith got around to making a blog but I can't find the link for it right now. I'll update soon - perhaps even a new layout. Who knows!

YaY!


Everything with our house is sorted! So we are moving in over the weekend - and we will be getting loaner furniture till September which will be delivered early next week :)

Things are just brilliant, honestly. I am so so excited to be in our new house. We've even got phone and all that sorted and we will even have internet in like 10 days.

Nothing has been even a fraction as hectic as I expected it to be. Keith and I both passed our driving test so we've been out driving in the Fens a bit and driving from Mildenhall to Hockwold (we don't live IN Hockwold but its on the way. We technically live in Feltwell).

We sit and enjoy the drive - even though the first trip though when Keith was driving I was a bit jittery in the passenger seat. We've each rubbed up against a curb (or kerb here in the UK)

I love love our house and area. Still lots of pics to come once we've settled in. I've tried getting in touch with Tree thinking she'd like to meet up since she only lives in Cams - but no luck yet. I'll make friends, damn it! Even if I have to make friends with Air Force wives. Alright I really don't want to stoop that low ..

So far so good! Though Keith and I have been drinking more beer and have most definitely the cider (omg we're major cider drinkers). We also really enjoy hitting pubs for food once a week or so. The pub near where we'll be living only serves food at certain times so I already know we're going to miss the 'food all day every day' thing we have here at Bird in Hand. All good things eventually come to an end, right? Even when its pubs!

Tomorrow will be the last time Keith and I use the cafe here at RAF Mildenhall. Of course he'll be working here - but hopefully soon the internet will e running at the house. We've already got our computers since we shipped those seperately.

Not sure what else to say ...

Willow - gratz on keeping the job! Oh and hurray for the normal scan! You're gonna be Mumx2!

Jelly - Sorry that I couldn't make the wedding :( Everything will be sorted soon.

Stef - WTF you're like never online when I am - and you keep a sleep schedule similar to the time zone in the UK! Rawr!

NURSE!


I finally set my appointment to get my teeth cut out of my head. Evidently its bad to have wisdom teeth. I had one pulled about 3 years ago cuz it never came all the way out and started setting up an infection ... but I still have 3 left. So yeah the dentist said the remaining ones needed to come out. I set an appointment for the 22nd to talk to an oral surgeon and then they'll cut on my mouth :( Me skurrd.

We're waiting for our house to be finished - then we'll move in. Our stuff won't be out of customs and crap until July 2nd so that means we only have to go like 3 weeks without most things. No biggie.

The camera cord is in with all that stuff so it won't be till we get our stuff that I'll be able to upload any pictures.

I sent a postcard back home - but it'll take a week for it to arrive (or so I've been told).

Keith is about to run to Taco Bell here on base to grab some food - and I think he's waiting to atke my order so that's all for now!

Not .. much .. power .. left
Alright there isn't much battery power left in ye olde laptop so I have to make all this quick.

Keith and I found a positively lovely place in Thetford which we love love love ...

Our car is paid for .. all we have to do is pass our British Driving Test ..

And all our things are scheduled to arrive July 2.

We thought we were going to go broke - but we're absolutely fine. Its been a hectic week and a half but we've gotten nearly everything taken care of.

The weather has been cracking for over a week now and we've been out walking around enjoying it. We're going to put the battery in the camera and snap some pics in a bit - but I'm not sure we have the cord for it in order to get the pictures off the camera and onto the laptop .. but we'll see!

If not .. we'll have to wait until July 2nd to get the pictures off the camera.

Hope everyone is doing well! Haven't had much time to sit on a messenger and talk to anyone at all, and I do hope you all understand.

Cheers!
