dental work

I had my tooth filled just because the dentist recommended that I did it now so I don't have severe tooth aches later on. Since I have a very low threshold for pain, I gave in to her advice and had two of my teeth filled.

two weeks later:
I can now feel hot or cold drinks inside my teeth (new development) and can not help wondering if i created a problem for my self that was non existent before now, and even paid for that problem to be created sef.

I have read several things on the internet and hope that this is normal but I'll have to wait and see.....

I was also told I have a slight gum infection which needs to be treated or else i run the risk of having my teeth fall out one after the other. The question i keep asking myself now is 'should i ignore this?' After all, my parents and grandparents never saw dentists and they managed to keep all their teeth till VERY late in life, in fact my parents still have all theirs complete and i don't remember them brushing their teeth more than once a day.

so is living in 'obodo oyinbo' making my teeth more prone to falling out???

becoming an active blogger




I decided today to become an active blogger for a number of reasons:

..I want to share my tots without being judged
...I want to document how I feel and how my feelings are evolving over time
....I want to come back here a few months down the line and laugh at some of the things I write

I have been a silent member at blogville.....reading many blogs and following quite a number too. I must say that some have been encouraging, inspiring, entertaining and educative.

Anyway...let me give a quick update since I last blogged....

About two years ago, I did not believe in Love and blogged about this. Then I found love a few months down and loved love . lol

I am happy to say that I am now engaged to be married to love (story for another day). Yes. I'm walking down the aisle five months from now and I can't wait to be married to the best man ever. I can't wait for the days when we will wake up together and fall asleep together, eat together, laugh together, and do everything together.

With respect to preparations, all we have done is book a hall and book the musicians. I haven't even bought a dress yet.

I must say that I was inspired to blog about my experiences by 'Studio 5i' and 'down the aisle', journey down the aisle, and a few others, too many to mention.

Now I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with you and take you along on my journey to becoming the Mrs.
