A Mixed -Up Post

I finally got a retainer! But I'm not that happy about it. I am certainly grateful that its not that noticeable, and I do want to get it, along with braces, out of the way. The thing is...it hurts!!! It hurts taking it off and on, and then it hurts while off or on. I know that's its going to be good, and I'm not saying that it's all bad. I'm maybe just not used to the feeling, since I did just get it. Oh well. Lucy was very sweet and said I wasn't talking funny like I felt I was (though she did go on to complain how I never let anyone else drink apple cider because I drink it all myself).

Now I feel like talking about apple cider*. Anyone that lives in the same house as me knows that I am the biggest fan of apple cider you will ever find. I looooooooooooooooooove apple cider. I am alive because of (1)weekends (2)friends and (3)apple cider. I love to drink it hot or cold, but you can't beat Mom's spiced apple cider. Sometimes I'll just put some in a cup and warm it up for 30 seconds because it warms you up just as well as hot cocoa. Hot cocoa fans might think I'm crazy, but I think apple cider totally beats hot cocoa!

Apple cider makes think of Fall. As I had been saying earlier today, Fall defines me. I love Fall 100% more than any other season. I love the crisp air, the beautiful leaves, the perfect wear-a-jacket kind of weather. The food is always the best, because there's thanksgiving, the no.1 food holiday. And there's always pumpkin food, apple foods (Yes, apple cider!) different pies, I could go on for ever! And I would never forget Halloween (or my birthday being in fall, for that matter). I actually had a dream that I missed Halloween, and my sisters all had big bags of candy, and I had to ask them for candy, yet again**. I love how there is always a sort of excitement you can't bubble up that comes around during fall (during Christmas/Winter there's that magical feeling of love and happiness that I love, too). I feel like every one gains a certain energy in Fall. Why do people send their kids out during summer? It's too hot. We personally live outside during Fall, if not in school. I could go on and on about Fall, but it would be safer for me not to, because I would literally never stop! The only damper on Fall is that it means school. But i can deal with that.
*Apple cider even deserves it's own color!
**Since in Junior High, we don't have little parties on Valentines day or season-themed parties (which is kind of nice because friends give you personal gifts, and its something they wanted to do, and weren't forced to do it so it means more) they all get a piece of candy for desert, I need something so they have to give me something, and don't worry, because I do fully appreciate this.

Again?!

We have no school AGAIN!!! Apparently there are still a lot of people with no power, and blocked roads. I almost doubt now that we'll even have school this whole week.

Just a Little Tip

Today I was talking to my BFF and she said that she couldn't figure out how to comment on here. My guess is as good as yours, but this is how I'm guessing you do it:

• Click "comments".
  
• Write your comment.
  
• Beneath the area for writing comments, there is a little white box.
  Click the arrow pointing down (there is not one pointing up).
• Choose what you want to be seen as. You could choose anonymous (I spelled "anonymous" right the fist time!) or "Name/URL". For this you can choose NOT to put up the URL and only your name (that tends to be what I do but with this blog it shows my profile).
• You can hit "preview" to see what your comment will look like.
• Hit "publish" and you're done!
  

Just a Little Shout Out...

To my Best Friend! I hope you see this! I also want to put up this little poem I made for Beth when she and Claire and Abbie were at the doctor's office and I was at home watching Lucy and Ruth (I can't really count Ruth because she was asleep). I got tired of watching Batman the Animated Series so I stole Beth's journal and wrote a sweet note about Beth's great qualities and warned her to not turn the page. Assuming she would turn the page, I put on the next page, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TURN THE PAGE HAHAHA!' and warned her again to not turn the page. Again assuming she would turn the page, I made this up randomly (quick note: Beth's nickname is "Boo" because that's how Lucy would pronounce it when she was a baby):

Oh, Boo,
Crazy you!
You stink up lots of rooms,
'cause your feet are like brooms.
They pick up lots of crumbs,
I would also suspect gum.
Oh, Boo,
Crazy you!

How I shall explain this?: Do not go near Beth's feet! They do tend to smell bad if you get to close. Beth really enjoyed the poem and the little note.

Good luck during this storm!,
