Braces

Before

After

And So It Begins...

Today I'm going to get the bands on for my space keeper. My popcorn eating days are now over for two years. It's bittersweet I guess. I like popcorn and I'm sad that I won't be able to eat it but I'm looking forward to having awesome straight teeth! Hopefully I won't be like Lauren was. When she got her braces off as soon as she saw me she whispered, "I look like a person that would steal candy from babies." My goal is not to look like one of those. And so my orthodontic journey begins.

Update:
Nevermind, my bad. I guess they were just taking molds with the little bands on. As soon as she got the molds done, she ripped those bands right off. Good riddance too. They were hurting my cheeks. So now, I'm getting everything on next Tuesday. One more week of popcorn eating, yay!!!!

I Hate To Admit It But... (And Other News)

I'm feeling just a little bit loser-ish. This week has been busy. The Geography Bee on Tuesday, Spelling Bee Wednesday. I bombed the Geobee and my losing word was allocation. I'll never forget how to spell that. On the bright side, I beat a couple of my friends and made it to the sixth or seventh round? Just thought I'd update everyone on that. In other news, I had an orthodontist appt. on Monday. Next Monday I'm getting a weird mechanism called a space keeper (or something or other) and on the 24, I'm getting braces. I'll post pics of my new smile but, you may have to remind me. And lastly, I'm entering a writing contest to win an all expense paid trip to the premiere of The Hunger Games!! The story had to be about a future gone horribly wrong and had to include what your dystopian world looked like, when the society developed, how its laws affect its people, and where your character fits in all crammed into four pages. Miraculously, I just made it. So that's all for today.
