Dessert for Breakfast...

Last night my dad came home with new retainers for me. My bottom teeth are definitely messed up from lack of retainers. So for my bottom teeth my dad got me this retainer that has springs on it and will help my teeth move to where they are supposed to be. This morning at 6:30 a.m. I was awakened by pain--pain in my bottom teeth! It killed! So I took the retainer out, and it hurt even worse. So for 2 hours I took Advil, watched a movie and tried to distract myself. Finally I fell back asleep. After that, I didn’t wake up til noon....NOON. AH!!! I hate sleeping in that late. I got ready quickly to not waste time in my now very short day. I then headed downstairs for food, and I saw strawberries, pound cake, and whipped cream. Yep. That was my breakfast. I figured from having such a rough morning I deserved dessert for breakfast.

Lessons learned:

• When you get braces, wear your retainers after forever!
  
• When you have a new retainer to fix your teeth…take Advil in advance
  
• 6:30 a.m. is an extremely boring time to wake up
  
• Dessert for breakfast makes you feel good :)
  

Sleep. Soccer. Cousin. Weather.

Oh my. I think there is something wrong with me or I'm just trying to catch up on sleep. Last night I went to bed at 1:30 and set my alarm for 10. When my alarm went off, I thought to myself, "Why wake up? Nothing to really do...might as well sleep!" So I didn't end up getting out of my bed til 11:40. And yesterday....I sleep 11 hrs, and then during the day took a 3 hr nap. Honestly, I think its my body trying to catch up on the lack of sleep I have acquired at college. This really isn't like me, I usually HATE sleeping in, but lately it has felt really good.

Today I have a soccer game. I love socce

r. It is like my release time! I think my happiest moments are when I'm playing soccer.

I miss my cousin. I pray for him daily. I hope he

can figure things out.

I hope the weather sticks, and summer comes quickly!!

Notice When I Leave...

So one birthday of mine, my grandma told me that there are 2 different people in the world: there are the type of people that when they enter a room everyone notices and the other type are people when they leave a room everyone notices. She told me I was the second type. I have thought about this a lot lately for so random reason, but do people really notice when I leave a room? And which type of person is better? Ya...these are just some random thoughts that started to pass through my mind last night as I was falling asleep. I think both type of people are good. But usually the ones that enters a room are sometimes loud, outgoing and the "life of the party." So does the person who leaves the room...are they quiet? boring? Is everyone relieved they are gone? haha I'm not getting down on myself I'm just wandering who I am to others...I hope I am the person I think I am. Maybe it means I leave an effect on people...if that's the case then I would love to be the second type.

I gave a talk today and was so happy to see my dad in the back. I am in a really good mood with no reason, and I like it! I am making dinner for my family tonight and I am excited. I love Sundays.

New to this...

Well I have started a blog! Hello blogging world! Well to start off I want to explain my name for my blog..."From Where I am Standing," it is a song by Schuyler Fisk. I first heard this song in a movie called, "I am Reed Fish." It was an interesting movie, but I remember being in love with this song when it was performed in the movie. About a year after I watched the movie I finally found the song, and was able to buy it off eMusic (trust me it was the only place I could find the song to buy...iTunes disappointed)! This song has so many different meanings to me, but mostly I think of it as we all have different perspectives of everything that happens to each of us. So my blog is my perspective of how things look from "where I am standing." This blog will be filled with random thoughts of mine, pictures of my adventures and stories of the things I experience. :P
