wise no more

For years I wanted to join the club of having my wisdom teeth taken out but my dentist continually dashed that dream by saying I would never have any to remove. I was so jealous of my mom and brother who HAD to eat ice cream, pudding and pasta for all of their meals and got to lay on the couch and watch all the tv and movies their hearts desired.

This past Sunday, I JOINED THE CLUB!!!! One day over the summer a wisdom tooth grew in and my dentist decided it needed to come out.

I must admit the experience seemed to be anticlimactic. I was awake for the entire procedure, my mouth still hurts a few days later and while I was having to eat soft not hot foods Mikey was eating things that smelled sensational. I was willing to do anything to eat regular food as the wisdom tooth diet proved to be less awesome at 25 then it seemed at the age of 14...EXCEPT for ice cream

In our house we eat out of ice cream bowls about this size, enough for 1 scoop as Mikey does not require large amounts of desserts. I figure this is a good excuse for me to practice eating in moderation.

This week however I have had the excuse of eating ice cream out of our cereal bowls! oh the joy and bliss of this experience!

As my pain subsides I am realizing I will lose the excuse of filling the cereal bowl with anything other than cereal and must revert back to utilizing the ice cream bowls we were so generously given by Dana and Addie.

So long sweet heaping amounts of ice cream, so long the wisdom of my tooth...hello real life and moderation
