I’m being a blogging slacker. Does anyone else just go through periods where they have a lot to say and periods where they just don’t? I’m in one of those “quiet times”. The Braces are fine. I had a slight toothache yesterday in a tooth that has moved quite a bit, so I’m not too worried about it. I feel like I have been eating a ton lately. I’m not entirely sure if I’m eating more than normal, or if I’m just spending more time eating due to the careful-chewing factor. Eating actually wears me out sometimes!
I have a cleaning in two weeks and an adjustment a few days after that – I’ll get a new wire, I’m assuming. I wish time were moving faster. While I preach patience to everyone else, I really possess very little myself! I just want this to be over! I’ve gotten increasingly aware of people staring at me. Since I don’t really notice The Braces as much – I can talk and eat without too much hassle – I forget they are there and then wonder why people are looking at me funny. Then I remember! Damn metal mouth! Last week I attended an art tour and made the mistake of trying to socialize while snacking on chips and guacamole. Everytime I took a bite, someone would try to talk to me. Grrr…
I got a letter about my 10 year high school reunion. I was planning on skipping it, mostly because of The Braces, but I’d kinda like to go. I don’t get home very often, plus its during our County Fair, which my husband has never witnessed. So, maybe I’ll suck it up and go. I’ve done quite a bit with my life since high school – may as well go back and rub it in, huh? :-#
How is everyone else doing?

I've been feeling the same way lately. There's very little going on. I also haveto say I'm right there with ya on the preaching of patience but possessing very little myself. I tell my husband all the time that I feel like I'm wishing my life away. I'll try and relax, AFTER these babies come off! Good hearing from you again though!
I am also a blogging slacker right now. =) Everytime I sit down to start a new post, I draw a blank. I third the patience thing. I have a one track jaw sugery mind. It's pretty much all I think about these days... I wonder what it's going to feel like to NOT think about it every day.
Great to hear from you. Maybe just maybe I will write a post tonight!
definately! sometimes weeks at a time pass and I have not posted anything but i think i check on my ortho buddies a few times a week. i think i spend more time on the internet than anything else and I'm trying to get out of it.
I'm also in the same boat. Dental discomfort kinda comes and goes. I celebrated a friend's wedding over the weekend, and hung out with some friends from 8 years ago when I was newly engaged to my husband. It felt really strange to be in braces. When we all first met, I was in love, felt lovely, and everything was roses. Life has grown more complicated in the years since then. Strangely, I have no problem meeting strangers wearing braces, but when I am with old friends, I want to put my best foot forward.
Ditto, to preety much all of the above.....paticularly the occassional bout of slacking. I think it's normal just like the other highs & lows, busyness and quiet, of eveyday life.
HaHa! I've been pondering the same thoughts as a notice of my class' 10 year reunion just showed up...amazing how one piece of paper can be so exciting and fill you with dread at the same time :)
I, too, have been slacking on the blogging. I think you should go to your reunion - braces and all.
