Dentist, Amazing Race, and the Ft. Wayne Komets....

So i haven't posted all week. It was a pretty busy one too...just a lot of work.

So I had a wonderful weekend. Thursday I went home because I had to get my car's a tire (cost WAY too much money), get my picture taken to send in to the amazing race (i'll explain later), go to the dentist, and landon came home!!

my day:
Landon and I hung out at the office while Karen took a passport sized photo of me, then we went to get a new tire, then went to Puerta for lunch, then back to the office for pizza (I only had one slice and landon didn't eat any), and then we headed out ot westside park to take some photos for my photojournalism class. It was then time for the dentist, then dinner at Landon's, then Liz's senior project presentation, and then back to landon's to watch a movie....finally at 1 A.M. I arrived back at Taylor.

So let me explain about the Amazing Race. on Tuesday we were having birthday dinner for Rajeev. Tuesday morning I got a call from Phil telling me we were going to be filming our audition video for the Amazing Race that night. The birthday dinner was de-lish and we had a great time. We then filled out our application and filmed the video. You see, this season of the show is the family edition...so the 4 of us kids have applied. But, unfortunately Rajeev can't compete because he isn't a citizen. :-( So along with the many things we had to send in were passport sized photos. hence the needing Karen to take one of me on Thursday.

I also got to go to the dentist Thursday. have I mentioned that I LOVE going to the dentist. well I do. It is just wonderful. I have always loved going. My mom says when I was little (younger than 5) and the big kids got to go to the dentist I always wanted to go. Well, I still love going to the dentist. One reason may be that I have never had a cavity or had any major dental work done. I had my top wisdom teeth pulled (not cut) out and the next day I skipped school (I had my wisdom teeth out....i was getting out of school!) and went the chinese, a movie, and bought a prom dress. I did have one filling, but that was just because a tooth cracked and it was a preventative for getting a cavity. Well anyway. I was in the chair and Dr. Jennings (my wonderful dentist who writes poetry and paints) told me to bite together and then he told me I had perfect teeth. Once he was done with the cleaning, instead of saying "It's always a pleasure to see you" he said "It's always a pleasure to see such a nice set of teeth." So I think I discovered the other reason I love the dentist. My best physical feature....I have perfect teeth.

Then it was Friday. a day full of classes and then the weekend. This friday....was a great friday. After my first class I got a message from Landon that his dad was going to take us to the Ft. Wayne Komets game. They would pick me up right after my class and we would be on our way. It was grand. We ate in Ft. Wayn before the game, made bets on shots of goal and the spread (i'm SO cool...I know what those are!!), got Dippin' Dots! bought landon new skates (they are awesome) and even went to Applebee's to get Blondie's. I was surprise at how great of a time I had since I was so tired and had a headache when we left. But, I just wanted to say I had a WONDERFUL time and thank you for everything Dean. it was a great night!

Saturday I slept in and then went to work out with Mak and Nat. fun fun. I did areobic stuff and then we danced in the areobic room. We worked our abs and legs so much. The whole time we were dancing I was on my tip toes. ouch. My legs are a little sore...but not too much. but my hips hurt. oww! It felt good. I actually had a good time working out. yikes!

Saturday night I went to Pizza King with Karen, Rajeev, and Dad. then home to watch part of a movie Liz was already watching with some friends. I then read Liz's screenplay....I loved it. very nice work lij. I can't wait to see it on the big screen. heh....that just sounds like a movie quote. hehe.

and now I am headed to Chili's to eat dinner.
it was a very good weekend.
