It's beginning to feel more like Halloween...

I had to go to a different office because my orthodontist wasn’t available. They told me that bracket shouldn’t have been put on yet so they simply took it off. The wire has some slack now since that tooth was back a bit so now it rests between my lips and is making a nuisance of itself in the form of a sore forming…grrr.

Other than that, the pain isn’t as terrible as it has been and I am surprisingly finding plenty of soft foods to eat so I am not starving…it just takes me forever to eat then I get to spend more time than I would care to spend in the bathroom brushing, flossing, sticking wax places, picking around, watching them sparkle, more brushing, spitting, swishing, more brushing and finally, more brushing.

Skylar bowled a 300 series (well, 307) this week…87, 127 and 93. All over his average of an 82. It should bring him an award, according to the new awards system of USBC but the lady running the league is a bit whacked so we’ll see if he gets it. He got a new ball drilled today and he didn’t puke this time. He went up in weight 2 lbs so that should help him.

FunkyB had a sleepover this weekend. He modded the Xbox and gave us some free games so we played Tiger Woods 2006 then some Madden 2006. Mau had a floating holiday to use so he took Saturday off and we went to Fearfest. We must have some good timing because we are standing in line to buy tickets and some guy runs up saying “Would you guys like 3 free tickets?”. We all stood there like “Derrrr” because we were in shock so Skylar did the sane, adult thing and grabbed them. The people in front of us shot us dirty looks but we didn’t care because that guy saved us $90. Hell yeah. Just for that, we got some Starbucks inside the park.

The decorations were cool this year and it looked like more haunted attractions but we chose Psycho Path since it was so good last time (with Dementia & family) but it kind of sucked this year. Not the same at all except for the chainsaw wielding guys at the end but you saw it coming so no fun. The evil mop stuff was gone too. I did see FunkyB running ahead of us like a scared little girl at one point. He claims to have been trying to get ahead of us so we wouldn’t see the character jump at him so as to scare us more…uh huh, sure. One chainsaw guy spotted Sky behind me and chased him out of the end of the trail with Sky screaming “OMG! OMG!”. That was pretty good.

We got an almost-night front seat ride on The Beast unchained. That was awesome. It was fast as hell without those brake points. It had to be the best ride I have ever had! We also checked out the new ride this year…Italian Job Stunt Track thinking it would be stupid. It was short but pretty decent. Girlie screaming behind me the whole time turned out to be FunkyB. His excuse? “I just do that to mess with people.”. Again, uh huh sure.

We played a little short handed poker game last night with Edr0 & FunkyB. It was a good game with Edr0 & I battling for 1^st. My pocket 2’s held up until he made his inside straight draw on the river.
