DENTISTS........AGHHHHHH...
Talking with a friend this morning we got to talking about dentists.It seems she has the same kind of fear as me.
It would be minimalistic to say that I am petrified of them.It would be minimalistic to say that I would rather swim through ariver of Pirhanas than go to the dentist...........
The problem here is that I have to.I know that Japanese dentists are terrible.I know that you have to return 5 times just to get one cavity done.I know that in japan you have to grin and bear the pain.I know that in japan NOVACAINE is a word that doesnt get used often let alone the drug.I know that I will cry like a baby in the reception area and completely embarass myself Like only Sarah can do.I know that it will be an agonising few days before I even get there. But I have to go.......Damn and blast I just gotta go.
Hypnosis may work but the only hypnotherapist I know lives a way away and costs a fortune. Valium may definately work .Knocking me out with a big hammer would definately work but kinda defeats the purpose.
The problem is that the fear just get s worse............I dont know where it came from,although there is some philosophising in my family that it could be from the fact that when I was 7 the dentist threatened to break my jaw and re-set it if I didnt stop sucking my thumb.Maybe it could also be the fact that when i was 8 my grandmother had fixed dentures and didnt stop bleeding for 3 days and all I remember is my ususually genki granny deflated with a mouth full of congealed blood...........christ if that isnt enough I dont know what is! Its massacre......
Dont get me wrong.I fully appreciate the wonder of a good set of teeth.They are marvelous inventions.How would we ever be able to consume such delicasies as caramel corn,gorgeous bread with wonderful crusty outsides,Spring rolls,.......I mean come on crunch crunch crunch.I dont want to spend my later years supping away on soup with those little inverted gummy lips..No No,that just wouldnt do,but somehow the two just dont fit.......the Fear,The reality.Like I said Pirhanas !
I usually take a loved one with me to the dentist,someone to faint on,throw up on or to cry on.Its pathetic it really is............but the time is looming near when I will have to choose
Pirhanas or dentist.

Sushi on the barber shop floor
Neil was a friend , admittedly he never let me get that close but he was loved all the same.We shared some tears,some laughter and mostly a wonderful journey together for an all too short a time.
Neil commited suicide 3 weeks ago.
I can only hope that he is in peace now,rather I should say (which is what I feel) HE IS IN PEACE NOW.

Thought for the day!!
I keep a little basket of angel cards next to my work station here..........periodically I dip my hand in and yank out a card for a little inspiration.Today mine was passion.............( for those not in the know they are 2cm by 1cm cards with a one word reminder) .
So here I am wondering to myself about what I need to be passionate about...........Any inspirations from the depths?? I could figure on a few I guess
My blog
My sex life
My job
Boarding
My weight loss
My quitting smoking
blah blah blah..........Oh the list is endless,but a good way to get the old brain tinkering.......I guess you could always make your own up and get yourself inspired!
Oh and by the way to all you cook freaks out there,I tried to get passsionate with my New Moosewood cookbook and made lentil burgers.........I think I was a little too passionate and toaaaaaaaaaaaaaasted them..........i think they were yummy(hard to tell when all your orifices are blocked with snot!

You will go to the ball.......
On my trip to Oz on the many shopping trips I took I happened (just by accident,the money never left my pocket and found its way on to the counter,it just kinda fell out.just in the same way that the dress happened to just fall onto my body in the shop..oh you kow how it is.. ) to purchase a ball gown........actually I managed to aqquire two(one a gift).
I was a tad worried on my return that I might not have the opportuntiy to wear them while my tan was still fresh and the excitemnet was abound.
Thanks to my darl of a friend I did go to the ball.
I went to the Ozzy ball..........oh and it was ozzy in all its glory with cheezles and twisties and as much champers as you could hold!
Here we are a little sloshed and haveing a fantastic time!

Head over Heels.
It was delightful to go to oz to visit my family and get to see two wonderful additions to our family.Thomas and Benjiman! Two litle bundles of Joy ,laughter a few tears and a whole lot of yummy fun!
It wasnt a lazy holiday as one would imagine when one takes a break away from the metropolis of Tokyo .I was woken up every morning with the squeals of the boys ready for a new day.Excited and raring to go.
I was taking camp in the living room so invariably would be awoken at 8 by thomas (the early riser ) tottering in to cautiously take a look at the comatose bundle under the duvet.
Now,I am not an early riser and it seems that the majority of parent talk is surrounded around legnth of sleep.India its the consisitency of your pooh,Thailand ,the number of buckets you drank,U.K ,the state of the weather,U.S,The state of the state blah blah blah de blah.In parentdom its sleep.I have to say I am not a mornning person but for the two weeks I was visiting I looked forward to the morning.It was pure magic to see the smiling faces and the pure focus on the tractor or the Wheels on the bus or the litle piece of string found in the carpet....basically anything that can be toyed with......Joy, Pure joy.
20 months is the legnth of thier time so far with us and its amazing to see them hoover up new words and ,in my time there making sentences.I think they got my name but it came out as "rah".They certainly understood the meaning of "Sarah Swing" which consisited of me scooping them up and swinging them from side to side with great Gusto and throwing them (gently of course ) onto the sofa! This would invariably have them in fits crying "mo,mo"
Anyways I witter on and the reason I guess is because I am head over heels! I miss Thomas and Benjamin so much.Yea I am broody Yes I want some sprogs at some point and yes I will.........but for the time being while I get my house in order I will adopt these!
