The Dentist

I went to the dentist today (and no her name was not Crentist) to see if she could pull my wisdom teeth. She said that she can't, but she made an appointment (herself - not her assistant) with an oral surgeon for me. I was excited to learn that the tooth extraction will only cost about 40 bucks per tooth -- this includes the anesthesia, the doctor looking in my mouth, and the extraction - which should only take 10 minutes.

My visit today only cost 300 Estonian kroons. That's about 25 dollars for a consultation and x-rays.

Sweet.

Buttermilk Brulee

So I was all set to make some Creme Brulee for Hannah's b-day. Then I found out that there wasn't enough cream - so I thought I could just substitute buttermilk, but I'm in Estonia so it was actually keffir. Then I found out there was barely enough sugar. Then I found out that the cream that we had was spoiled. So, I made "Keffir Brulee". So, it was the Estonian twist on Creme Brulee - which wasn't terrible.

Then I found out that we don't have a broiler...

My First Play-Date

Well, it happened. I went on my first play-date today with Natalie and Rebecca. I never thought I would wind up there. All the mothers seemed very nice (not cooky at all). Rebecca went in an hour early so that she could come to the play date, and then she went to a meeting with parliament. She wishes she could come home and change the baby's diaper, and I wish I could be meeting with parliament.

I found this article today on Msn.com. Fitting, eh? "Moms and Nannies: A Complicated Relationship" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18942392/site/newsweek/?GT1=10056
