My New Year’s Resolution Is Nothing Sweet This Year

Let me tell you about the two most unloved words in the English language...oral surgery. Unfortunately my Holiday could not be described as merry so much as manic. I managed to seal my soda pop addicted taste buds fate with a bad tooth that had to be removed at the exact time when all doctors office doors are closed.

I was so scared to have my tooth removed that I literally attempted a karate chop move when the oral surgeon headed toward my mouth. He was none to impressed by that move, though I thought my form was something to be admired. Go figure? In the end days and hours of fear and anxiety ended in about two minutes of tugging. I felt like a huge baby afterward, and from the look on docs face he fully concurred. So my New Year's resolution for this year......drink water like I just walked away from the desert and leave the sugary cola on the shelf.
