i took a stupid pill that afternoon...

I get mad at myself a lot. Most of the time, it's for a good reason.
Take Saturday for example.
My man and I are eating some subs at Steak Escape. I had taken out my retainers (yeah...I have retainers) and rolled them up in a napkin.
I THOUGHT I'd put the rolled up napkin containing expensive and very important retainers into my purse...
About 20 minutes later, after I've long left the restaurant, I notice that they're not in my purse.
I pause. Silently curse myself, but stay calm.
I HAD to have thrown them away. I bet a damn dollar (hell, let's go with 20) that I set the retainers on the tray and then threw them out with my leftovers and assorted dirty napkins.
Damn it!
Fuck!
Luckily, I have a temporary retainer (i.e.- uncomfortable) for my upper teeth. Nothing for my bottom. I don't have to money to buy new ones, so I don't know really what to do. The girl that works on my teeth told me to wear the temp. retainer and that if I notice anything different to come in and have new ones made immediately. I can't go through all that hard work and then have my teeth go crooked.
I had braces one other time too, when I was younger. I didn't wear my retainers for a week and when I went to put it back in...it wouldn't fit. My teeth went crooked.
My parents aren't happy, of course, because they paid for braces and retainers both times. This last time WITHOUT dental insurance.


In other news, I had my first instance of my boyfriend being a snoop and I'm surprised I didn't say anything to him.
I stayed with him this weekend, and on Saturday I went to work...leaving my cell phone with him to charge. I get back and he tells me I've got a text message from that ex-guy friend of mine I've had a falling out with (over HIM of course). Then he says, "I see you've gotten a lot of text messages from him. You never told me about them. I mean...I'm not mad...but I saw one dated in February...You just never told me you still got texts from him."
For some reason, I didn't get mad at the time, but now that I think about it...I'm unbelievably pissed off. How stupid!! I should have said something. What the fuck is he doin' going through my text messages?! Fuck that! I trust him and he trusts me. There shouldn't be any reason for him to go through my texts. I don't care that he hasn't paid his cell phone bill in for-fucking-ever and has all of his friends call me to get to him. Hell no. You don't go through my texts. That's for me only.
Damn...I'm pissed now.
It's Monday...is it too late to say something to him?!

Steak Escape sounds like it would be my fave place EVAR if I lived where you do.


Snooping isn't cool, but we all are tempted. I never go through my girlfriends things, but I can't say I haven't thought about it. I would say something to him...it's never too late to bring up something that's bothering you.

Steak Escape is orgasmic. Best cheesesteaks evar!!1!

He brought it up again. He said if I looked through his, he wouldn't care because he has nothing to hide. Whatever! I don't either...
It's now become a non-issue. Thank god.

You might want to set a good boundary though. Having nothing to hide stiull means he needs to respect personal property and separate lives. I have nothing to hide AND i expect my boyfriend to respect my belongings and life.
