Long day. Got up far
Long day. <.yawn> Got up far earlier than is natural for a Saturday morning to go to the orthodontist. I got my first set of Invisalign. The things are COOL. lol. When they told me I needed braces to fix the front of my bite (my teeth are relatively straight, it's just that my top and bottom teeth don't hit, so I can't actually bite anything small with my front teeth... which could cause receeding gums... which is a bad thing), I freaked out. I did NOT want to be a 21-year-old college student in the midst of a job search and interviews with braces. And who knew you could actually pull teeth DOWN with something that is removable? I have to get these little porcelain knobs put on my teeth next week so the invisalign have something to grab on to, but it's still WAY better than a mouthful of metal.
But my teeth hurt. Oww. Poor me. =( lol. My cousins from Kansas and Wisconsin were all at my Grandma's today, and my aunt was like "Instead of a birthday party, we should throw kate a pity party," because apparently I kept making these pained faces. I didn't mean to! It was good to see everyone, though, and Weston (whose 13th birthday is 2 days after my 21st) and I shared a birthday cake. I mean that as in both of our names were on it, not that we each had half. lol. We actually got made fun of for the smallness of the pieces we cut. It was a cake made to feed 16-18. There were 13 of us there, and there was half a cake left. lol.
On a different note... here is a fun link. Tonya called it Spot the Popstar.
