It’s been 4 days…
…4 days since I got my braces. 4 days since I could indulge on whatever I wanted, where ever I wanted it. And they aren’t entirely as bad as I had imagined. There is a slight pressure on certain teeth but it hasn’t stopped me from eating what I want to eat. Ok, that might be a little exaggerated as I had to stop eating the chips and dip we had last night while playing Scrabble. But if that is my only complaint, it can’t really be considered a complaint considering. I’m still able to eat my crunchy cereal and I may or may not have had a few nacho…

Back to the Future: Teenager Style
Check out my new grill! Check out my SWAG. All this better be worth it is all I can say. But I will say that they aren’t as bad as I had imagined. There are no colourful elastics. No big wire. Well, there will be but right now I have a fine wire. Adjustments and bottom brackets will come June 3rd. I was actually so pleased to hear that I didn’t have elastics around each bracket and I probably won’t need them. I won’t mind if I do but it’s a good way to ween myself into this whole process. I will have monster elastics down the road to adjust…

Smell is the strongest sense tied to memory
And I’m sitting here eating my bed lunch, enjoying a bowl of Fruitloops. It reminds me of my Nan. The first smell of the bowl just as I’m stirring it. Takes me back to Nan’s house sitting at her table after a night of WWF, Nintendo, sleepover. Fruit Loops reminds me of my Nan. It’s like a little piece of back home I guess. 🙂 Who would have thunk it?!

Last weekend braces free
So what does one do the last few days before they get their braces? Well it involves a lot of not-so-good good food….and some good food! It all started on Friday with BBQ chicken and Lays Ripple Chips with Onion Dip. With a side helping of Nibs licorice. Then Saturday we spent the day shopping while our delicious ribs were in the oven slow-cooking awaiting our sweet-ass BBQ. And while we weren’t shopping I was eating Mini Eggs. Lots and lots and lots of Mini Eggs. I did learn that there is no such thing as too much Mini Eggs though. So it was productive. I thoroughly enjoyed eating our…

So that’s what this is
So I awake today and feel different. I realize what buying a house means. I mean, I already “knew” that stuff but now I understand. It has sunk in. It means that I don’t have to move around anymore when rent goes up or if I have a crappy landlord. It means that we are building equity. It means we aren’t pissing our money away into someone else’s pockets. It means we are free to decorate any way we choose. I may need help in this category for sure. It means we don’t have to be as wary of our tv/stereo volume after 11 pm. It means we don’t have…
