On Hair Braiding and Sore Teeth!

Life's been interesting lately, busy and crazy. My mom borrowed a Zumba Wii Fit from a friend and I got to try it. It's really hilarious, lots of hip movement definitely! Yesterday I had my first orthodontist appointment in a very long time. I sat in the lobby across from a girl dressed as a pirate and went in, taking a seat across from a jersey clad football player and sitting back nervously in the chair. I was soon attended by a lady who informed me that if I'd only been more consistent with my brace bands and appointments I could've had my braces off by that point. She then cut the wires, making them supertight and gave me brace bands for both sides to wear. I went from there to the Fillmores', where we spent the next bit of time unloading gymnastics mats, beams and other things from a trailer to a semi. We began a tour of the farm but I had to leave with Nicole early to go babysit for the Dahms. Bryan, Rabecka and I painted rocks, watched some of the new seventh season of Mythbusters and ate bowls of cereal for dinner. Mythbusters has a new girl, Jessie, because Carrie apparently had a baby and is off the show. We colored, and painted, and when I tried to eat a bowl of cereal my newly tightened braces hurt my teeth with every bite. Bryan went to bed and Simon, Becka and I sat out watching tv and me reading Pride and Prejiduce until Randy and Esther got home. It wasn't until a half hour later that Mr. and Mrs. Anderson got there to pick me up and take me back to the farm. We talked on the ride over about people who used the right side of their brain or the left more to think. We talked about Savannah, and the scavenger hunt. When I got in the car Mr. Anderson turned back to me, grinned and said "So what are we looking for?" I looked out the dark window, "Maybe we just shouldn't pull up to anyone in the dark and ask them if they're old!" He laughed, rolling down the window and shouting out "HEY!" as we drove down the street. I got there in time to see Christian, Savannah, Andrew V and Claire learning how to play some game from Mr. Fillmore. He asked as I walked up "Where've you been?" "Babysitting," I replied, shaking my head. At another table Brenten was attempting to explain to Madison and Lexie how to play some game. I hugged, Savannah, Claire, Maddi, and then went back to watch Claire, Christian, Savannah and Andrew learning to play Ticket to Ride. Brenten then tried to teach Lexie and I to play Bohnanza, which I failed at. Madison preferred to stand behind Brenten, braiding his red hair into a tiny braid and proudly displaying her work, pulling his head to the side to show me. "Ouch," he protested lightly, as she laughed and took a picture for facebook. I went to find my sister upstairs and bring her back. We waited around awhile, I talked to Christian, who seemed to be ready to go, and sort of bored by this point. They told me about their games, and what it'd been like. We went home soon after that and heard about how Derek and Brenten have begun to hug back, how hilarious the braiding was, and more. I sat on my bed eating a can of cold spaghettios, something that didn't require a lot of chewing on my sore teeth. Today Lexie went home with Madison, they said soemthing about wanting to learn how to do their hair in a way that would look good in a hair net! Guess we'll see how they do:).
