Activities

I just realized how long it's been since I've posted. I don't think I've told you about the 4-H scarf making project. The whole 4-H Honor Club got together with their sewing machines and we sewed 80 fleece scarves for, I think, an organization for homeless men. It was for charity; it was also really fun to sew all that stuff! I was scared that my sewing machine was going to give out, too! Yesterday, while I was bowling, I accidentally hit the ball on the inside of my ankle; on the bone that sticks out. It hurt really bad!! I have a bruise there now. Then the rest of the game, I could barely get the ball down there because I was so paranoid about hitting it again. I feel so strange that I haven't been to science class in a whole week. I usually go twice a week. I miss it actually. I have some homwork for that, too. My braces are hurting a little bit today. I had to cut up the pizza I had for lunch into small pieces. But overall it's not as bad as the spacers. I got dark blue on them, since it's my favorite color, but it's a little too dark for my taste. I think I'm going with a lighter blue next time. Does anyone know how to get "paragraphs" into my posts? Even if I type it with paragraphs, it doesn't keep them when I post it. Also, Rachel thinks the music sounds off-tune. What do you think?

Well, I hope everyone has a good weekend!! Tell me what you did with it! ~ sourpatch

Braces

This morning I went to the orthodontists' office and got my braces on. I have 16 brackets all together. They are just starting to hurt, so I think I'll take some Aspirin, but so far everything is good. Thankfully it didn't hurt very much when they put them on. I think I look a lot different with braces on. It is sooooo hot outside!! We don't have the air conditioning on yet, so hopefully it will cool down. It's supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow. Thank goodness!! ~ sourpatch

My Orthodontist Visit

We went to the orthodontist this afternoon. I got x-rays, pictures, made molds, and spacers. I had to get 8 whole spacers! They are tiny blue rings that go in between your teeth. They had to put them in to make room for the braces that I am going to get next Wednesday. I have already had braces, but that was when I was 7-years-old, so now I have to get the "second phase" put on. I will only have to have them on 1 1/2 to 2 years. I got braces when I was younger because my teeth came in sideways. My gums were inflamed all the time because of this, too. But, saying that, we basically straightened my baby teeth which all fell out. So I took some Tylenol and dealt with the pain for a few hours. I finally got some taquitos for dinner. That's it! sourpatch
