Rubber Bands. . .

. . .have become a part of my routines:

• My morning routine. . .
• My afternoon routine. . .
• My evening routine. . .
• Any routine that involves food or brushing my teeth!

I have been flooded with bands:

• Orange bands. . .
• Black bands. . .
• Pink bands. . .
• Neon green bands. . .
• Purple bands. . .
• It has been pointed out to me that I need red bands! But Dr. R doesn't seem to have any of those in multi-color packs with orange and black. :(

My life has become very comical. Ever tried to wear bands and:

• Yell at a Bengal's Game. . .
• Pronounce words with the "awl" (like hall) correctly. . .
• Yawn. . .
• Eat something that couldn't be sucked through a straw. . .
• Kiss. . .

I am blessed that:

• I can afford to take care of my teeth. . .
• I am not too vain to have braces at my age. . .
• I caught this early enough and only have to have braces for one year. . .
• I had a pretty pain free experience for the first eight months I had braces. . .

But I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THESE RUBBER BANDS OFF OF MY TEETH!!!

Namaste.
