Torment

Have you ever sat in front of a large swimming pool and not been able to swim in it? That is what I am forced to do on a daily basis! It's terrible! I haven't swum all year, honestly!! (I know that swum doesn't sound like a word, but it is.) Anyhow, Suzie is pestering me, so I have to give up the phone.

And so it Begins...

I went to the orthodontist today, and got many many head-shots. (Like, photos) And the orthodontist told me that I need to get braces soon. It's just the beginning of the torment, I'm sure. Braces, braces for a long time, and then perhaps surgery. Hopefully the braces will help to cure what causes me to need surgery, and I won't need it. The orthodontist did say maybe, and in orthodontics, maybe is often a happy word. And to think, I may have straight teeth by senior prom! (that's a long time away)

Other Things That Happened Today (and Yesterday)

Well, truthfully, nothing really happened today aside from that, but I am going boating for Young Women tonight. The thing that I really want to write about is yesterday. Our grandpa took us to the art museum, and when Li'l Bro was telling Mom about it:

Sis: Where did we go today?

Li'l Bro: Swimming lessons!

Sis: And after that?

Li'l Bro: The art museum!

Mom: And what did you do there?

Li'l Bro: We didn't touch paintings!

I'm Going to be Frank With You.

COMMENT!!!!!

IT'S ALIVE!!!

I have been working on my faith project for personal progress: planting a seed in a plastic cup. And it has sprouted!!! If I had the right cord, I would take a picture of it, and post it, but I don't know how to upload pictures to the computer from my camera.

Breaking the Rules

You know how at movie theaters they always say, 'No Outside Food or Drink', and everyone always breaks that rule? That's what we were doing today. At the counter, as we were buying our tickets, KD saw some Reeces and started pestering my dad to get her some. So I took her aside and told her that we were smuggling food into the theater, and by buying the snacks they sell at the counter would defeat the purpose. She was satisfied, and no longer asked for snacks.

Caterwauling

Which is another way of saying I have sib duty today. Watching the young ones, Caterwaul and KD. (Caterwaul's birthday was yesterday) And, frustratingly, my dad keeps calling. "Did you eat lunch?" and "Are you being kind to KD?" and "Did you eat breakfast?" He calls like, once an hour. It's sweet, and annoying. I CAN COPE!

Chasing Grapes

Today I have the runs. Not bad, but I know I need to stop eating grapes. But they're SO good. So, I had some grapes for lunch, and then forced myself to eat a cheese stick. It was a nasty cheese stick.

Drip. Drip. Dripdrip. Dripdripdripdripdripdripdrip.

We just had a HUGE cloudburst! It was all sunny out, but there were big, grey clouds. ( I don't friggin' care how you spell grey/gray!) I knew it was going to rain, so I waited. I was sitting on the couch with my mp3 player, when my aunt looked out the window and stated that it was raining. This was what I was waiting for. I immediately yanked out my ear-buds and ran out the door, with Anie (one of my other aunts) on my heels. Those raindrops were the size of eyeballs. (pardon my strange comparison) Then: We danced. We danced until the rain started to let out. Then, Anie remembered the potatoes that we were Dutch-ovening. And we even saw a rainbow.

Flipping

I don't know how, but my little brother has found out what sticking up his middle finger means. So, this morning I said something that made him mad, and he flipped me off. I knew he knew what it meant, because he was angrily pointing his middle finger at me. Though he had trouble getting his finger up by itself.
