Il faut souffrir pour être belle

My mamma always said, "you must suffer to be beautiful." I didn't believe that the saying was quite so literal until I got braces.

Today I got my braces adjusted. They have moved from the easy-peasy lightweight wire to the hardcore rectangular, thicker wire. I don't know how many of you readers have had braces, but if you have not yet experienced this level of pain, you have not lived!

Disneyland March 2010

I have been on a 3-month hiatus from blogging. I'm so sorry to all 3 of the readers of this blog :) But don't fret, I'm working on a massive update (which I will just post-date and act like I was updating this whole time...). Here's a little post to tie you over until all that is online.

St. Patricks Day 2011

The Arboretum

Southern California has really cool opportunities to visit museums and such on their "free days." I went with Nicole and Jackson to the Arboretum.

They have free-roaming peacocks on the grounds. They are so pretty!
