Thaba Labohlano!!!!

In other words...HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Weeeee!!!

And the contest is on. First one to guess it wins an icon of their choice. Come now. I have given almost everyone their icons and they are spiffy! *preens* So let's have some guesses.

So I am recovering nicely from the dental nightmares. I really am. I ate pasta for lunch having starved last night. I could only have liquids really and a yogurt really late. I am on the big ibuprophen and those are niiiiiice. They really should sell them in this 600 mg size. I likes it a lot.

When you go in for a root canal they make you sign this legal document. It basically says that they can take your tooth out under certain conditions. Man that would have sucked to lose the tooth. I sat there praying that they would not have to take it. I suppose if it is damaged or cracked they cannot repair it. I had my fingers crossed in my lap the whole time, I kid you not. Childish, but true. Well, it worked and they did not have to extract it. I was so relieved. I almost kissed the dentist.

I just ate a big plate of pasta from Gypsy's Trattoria. I was so hungreh. I feel better. They over cook it at this place so it was plenty soft on the mouth. I can eat normal food tonight so I am having shrimp and steak at a friend's house. She was a little upset with me last night that I could not go eat with them but the mouth was in no shape for chewing.

We are going to watch Steve Martin's Shopgirl and have a relaxing night.





Have a good weekend y'all. Will update if I have time or anything enlightening to say. Not that anything here is brilliant anyway. You should be happy. I was going to post factoids about root canals and decided not too! Heh. *evil
grin*

Saturday Edit:

So the movie was good. Claire Danes is cute and *spoiler*


I love that she ends up with the geek boy in the end.


So here is the language answer. The above phrase is in:

>Sesotho...

Sesotho sa Leboa (Northern Sotho) to be precise the language spoken in Lesotho. See below:


LESOTHO: Lesotho is an enclave within the east central region of the Republic of South Africa. It is completely surrounded by the Republic of South Africa and the country has three geographical regions. (1.) The Western Lowlands which consists of undulating basins and plains that cover 25% of the land area. (2.) The cave sandstone terrace which is an intermediate region between the highlands and the lowlands. (3.) The Eastern Highland which include the Maluti Mountains and Thabana-Ntlenyana, the country's highest point. The country is drained by tributaries of the Orange, Caledon and Tugela Rivers. Major Cities (pop. est.); Maseru 109,400, Maputsoe 20,000 (1986). Land Use; pastures 66%, agricultural-cultivated 11%, other 23% (1993).

CLIMATE: Lesotho has a continental climate which is characterized by extremes in temperatures. Snow is frequent in the Eastern Highland while the lowlands can also experience occasional snow in winter. The summer season is from October to April with rainfall at its heaviest during January. Average annual precipitation is 725 mm (29 inches) and thunderstorms are common during the wet season. Average temperature ranges in Maseru are from -3 to 17 degrees Celsius (27 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit) in July to 15 to 33 degrees Celsius (59 to 91 degrees Fahrenheit) in January.

All those who guessed can have an icon. So send me an e-mail about what you would want for a subject. I will wait to hear from you. Cheers.

I need more coffee. I just had a lovely nap on the couch. It truly was lovely.
