The Dentist.

Yesterday, I went to the dentist. No cavities, twelve years and counting with none! (go David, it's your birthday) I am so glad because I would rather not have anyone drill a hole in my head. I do have a short story about how badly a tooth extraction can feel.

Long ago, I was eating corn on the cob while my front tooth was loose. A piece of corn was shoved into my gum without my knowledge, of course. Later I discovered that the gum above my tooth was HUGE and secreting some sort of nastiness. Once I arrived at the dentist, he shoved a needle in my big bulge and numbed me for the tooth pulling about to occur. Then out came the pliers (just kidding). They were pulling and pulling and I remember screaming very loudly! I was actually screaming so desperately, I was even covering my ears.

This is a reason the dentist's office is not my happy place.

David's Final Thought:

Be careful with those corn husks, people!

Christmas Budget.

If you didn't read previous blog, I just was given a raise on my allowance. Now that I am making so much more, I am required to buy my own Christmas gifts. At first I thought, "cool, finally I can buy my own gifts", but then I realized, "wait, that is a lot of things to buy". So, I have to budget my money carefully so I do not overspend on any one person. (which is really hard for me because money usually burns a hole in my pocket) By Christmas, I will have about sixteen dollars to spend on each person. (remember this is my first time saving for Christmas, so I will not be able to spend as much on everyone)

David's Final Thoughts:

I may have to start cutting the grass to make more. (Yeesh, what I will do for kinfolk)

Things Going On In The Smith Household.

First of all, we have work, work, and more work to do. We have to get ready for the next nine weeks in school, then we have to take down Halloween decorations. We are just a mess! In addition, Mom is sick today, so I have to try to take care of her, which I really don't mind because she is always there for me, so why shouldn't I be there for her?? ( I always should)

OH YEAH! Dad gave me a raise on my allowance. Now, instead of $0.25 a day I am up to $1.00 a day. Isn't that just great!! I do not get allowance on Sundays, so I get six bucks weekly. I am required to give an offering on Sundays, though.

David's Final Thoughts:

Thanks, Dad!

Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda.

I especially love funny movies, and this one I think may have topped Star Wars. It was hilarious! Even my Mom was cracking up. The name of the main character is Po (I think Jack Black did a great job compared to that silly movie, Nacho Libre. If I rated that movie I would give it a negative star...it was that BAD). Anyway, so Po has always wanted to meet the Furious Five who are all Kung Fu masters (if I tried something close to their moves, I would probably pull something), but he is stuck selling his father's noodles. It was announced that the dragon warrior was to be chosen. On his way to the Jade Palace, his father stopped him and requested that he take the noodle cart with him to make some money. There are hundreds of steps on his path to the palace which seems impossible for Po since he is a chubby panda. He wants nothing more than to make it to the top. Will he make it to the top or keel over before he can get there? Just for the record, this movie is out on DVD....enjoy.

David's Final Thoughts:

I give this movie 5 stars because I feel it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Fargo, The Weiner Dog.

Not long ago I was doing my schoolwork and I heard a loud CRASH!! I ran out to the living room, saw what Fargo did, and grabbed my camera.

It turns out while Mom was at Wal-Mart, Fargo used an ajar chair to jump up onto the counter. Then, he walked across the sink, ate a half-eaten hot dog, knocked the plate off, and broke it. Of course after that he was afraid to walk back over the sink to get down, so he just curled up and slept on the counter until I could clean up the mess and give him a hand. Sometimes our dog can be so ridiculous.

David's Final Thought:

Darn Dog!

Bugs Are Creepy.

I don't understand why some people like bugs. They have all those legs, some are dangerous, and they are slimy or plain unpredictable. When you step on them, goop gets all over the bottoms of your shoes. I usually scream like a girl when I see one. (not funny)

David's Final Thought:

Spiders are the worst!

Food Preferences.

There are many, many foods I like and even more food that I don't like. For starters, I really (really) don't like chicken pot pie (ugh, yuck) or the dreaded hot dog (barfaroni).

Some of my favorites are hamburgers, ramen noodles, french toast, and scrambled eggs. That is all I have to say about food.

David's Final Thought:

Even though I am rather skinny, when I eat, I eat rather large portions.

Old Journal Entry.

October 13th, 2008

I barely got any sleep last night. My bed was so uncomfortable that I had to sleep on my couch (which was still uncomfortable). So, I woke up late because it was so miserable. That means busy work for me today (sigh). I think instead of doing Math last, I am going to do it after my journal today. (Yay)...that means no goofing off. I might get done with school early !
