Regional 4-H Demonstration Contest / My Surgery

Yesterday, myself and a few buds of mine went to the Regional 4-H Demonstration Contest. We all carpooled with our car. Again, I did my science fair project: Microwaves VS. Nutrients. They seemed to like it pretty well. I got a 1st place in my division. For this, I got a ribbon and plaque. It was pretty exciting! This can go in my 4-H portfolio at the end of the year in October. Portfolios are books that 4-H'ers put together of all the leadership, citizenship, and other 4-H activities they've done in the past year. It is really a pain to get it all together, but well worth it. We get a medal at the end of the year for completing it. Today at 8:00, I had my four teeth pulled at the oral surgeon. They were all four of them right next to my eye teeth. Actually, it wasn't bad. I'm so glad they put me to sleep. I think it was the right decision to go there instead of a dentist. My "holes" where the tooth used to be are so deep I can't see the bottom. I can't imagine how much that would have hurt. It was kind of weird being put to sleep for a little while. I think the last thing I remember was her taking my glasses, I think at least..... It was kinda cool though, a neat experience. So, right now I'm sitting in front of the computer with gauze in my mouth. They just won't stop bleeding!! Hopefully, it will stop before bowling and I can convince mom to take me. We'll see. Today is the last day of bowling, and then the party is next week. sourpatch

The Visit

The visit with my cousins really went well! My grandma and cousins family went to their first book signing at 9:00 on Saturday. He also went to my aunts book store in the afternoon for another book signing. Bryce did his wonderful speech and presentation on the Civil War twice there and twice at the one earlier. I couldn't stop smiling during the presentation, it was so good. I'm proud of him. We had hamburgers and fries for dinner, too. That was a plus. This Sunday, we went to church, and then Rachel and I came right over to my grandma's house. We organized her closet and got rid of her outdated clothes and things she didn't wear. It looks really good in her closet now! I'm proud of that, too. It turned out good!! There is so much more space in there now! For dinner tonight, my grandma cooked this frozen pizza that she got at Aldi's. It was about $4 each, but it was almost identical to Digornios' $6 pizzas. The brand is Mama Ocozzi. They were really good!! Too bad we don't really go to Aldi's all that much. We use the fundraiser card for Kroger's, so we go there a lot. Tomorrow, I have an appointment with a dental surgeon for a consultation to pull 4 teeth. The orthodontist says I need 4 teeth pulled; although at first I didn't see why that was necessary. I guess they're pull one on each side top and bottom. That still seems like a lot though. I hear that science class has been pretty boring without me. I bring the humor I guess. I've missed it a lot, so I'll be glad to be back again. sourpatch
