So what's new?
Well my bloody teeth hurt again. i know it's kinda stereotyping about us brits having bad teeth but bloody hell I'm sick of this.
I just had to spend 170 at the dentist. Bastard.
Anyway, Racing. Just over a week to go before the next one. I'm a bit nerous about it as my business partner is in Austalia so I'm running...

I didn't get back to TN today yet as planned. That only leaves me 3 days at best at mom's...DAMNIT!!
It sux because if I drive to NC then I don't have anywhere to store my car when I leave for iraq. If fly in, there's no one to pick me up at the airport or even to drop me off in Nashville.
People suck when you need a favor.
I'll call if I get to my mom's...k?
If not, I'll have my computer here next week to use instead of this public one.
