"Why do I need a new mattress and pillow" you ask? The simple answer is.....BED BUGS!!!!!
The longer answer is: You know the rhyme "Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite! And if they do, take a shoe and beat them 'till they're black and blue." Well I let them bite. A lot. I was a giant bug bite for weeks. Still am actually, but not as bad as I was before.

Oh, yes....bed bugs are very real...

...horrable blood suckers that they are...*shudders*

We tossed my mattress and pillow outside, but that may not be far enough (We hope to burn them soon though) 'cause when bedbugs are deprived of their 'blood meal' they will do one of two things: hibernate for up to a year, waiting; or travel up to 100 yards to find a new one!! UGH!!!
Bedbugs will feed for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, they don't care where they bite either!!

Oh, well, apart from bedbugs I have had other things happen. For one I and my older sister Dragontongue are in a Japanese class!! (I'm having real trouble with telling time in Japanese...) I know the teacher through M.O.P.S, I babysit her youngest son there! So I'm learning loads of Japanese!! I can even read and write some! Dragon is better than me though.

Also I have just gotten braces!!!! I'm very excited, except....I'm kinda in pain...and I can't chew ANYTHING!!! I also have to take really good care of my braces 'cause my top brackets are clear and my bottom brackets are gold. As the lady's at the dentists office say "I've got some bling going!!"
