week 1 in braces

i had a huge floss enshnarement on my brackets!! i can't floss and i don't even have a wire in yet! seriously my teeth are just soo crowded, now that there's brackets on them, i don't have room to get the floss in between them. a guy a work had a good suggestion for the time being until my teeth move...toothpicks.







i had to go to my first meeting with braces. there were contractors, business owners, police, utility representatives there... now these are people i see at least once a month, for over a year. no one said anything about the braces, yet everyone was staring! the one contractor always makes sure to get me a pink frosted donut because they're my favorite, so he point it out to me so now i have to eat this pink frosted donut with braces in front of everyone or i'll feel really guilty! so i rip it up into tiny pieces and eat it, then realize i forgot to put my hand mirror in my purse! (i inadvertantly put it in my makeup bag as i was applying mascara at my desk). i will now never be without a mirror in my purse!

yesterday me and the braces went to the beach and as i'm walking down the boardwalk i notice this really cute teenage girl (ok i do realize i sound a little creepy right now) but she was all punky with cute clothes and cute hair and then she starts laughing and she has cute little braces! so it is possible to be cute in braces....if your 15 i guess. then later on i see two not cute chubby boys in braces, and i was thinking thank lord those parents got their kids braces cause they didn't have much else going for them in the looks department (i'm going to hell). sidenote: i walked all the way to the end of the boardwalk which i haven't done in a couple years, i generally jsut stay in the sawmill/beachcomber vicinity now that i'm of legal age, and i saw that they still have stands that do hairwraps! HAIRWRAPS!!! i haven't seen such a things since 1997...the last time i had braces...whoah flashback! i wonder if used to match my hair wraps to my ligs? haha

last night i had pizza (my favorite food ever) and i honestly thought i'd eat alot less of it since i have to cut it up into tiny little pieces, no i ate 3 whole slices (minus crust), one more than usual!

looking forward to my first night at the bar in braces!
