quick one. we had a housewarming party on sunday, which was quite fun, although with about 12 people in attendance our living room started looking a little small. not an issue since how often will i be inviting 12 people over for dinner? ingredients cost about $50 or less in total, laughably cheap for the spread xiao an created. i did not take pictures because... i forgot.

we also just got our trash can, which was bent out of shape from the horrendous treatment it received by UPS, but xa got it back into shape with the clever use of our stove. speaking of know-how, we also fixed my lack of bed slats by sawing up some scrap wood (not really scraps, they were slats for a full bed that someone else threw out) we found outside our apartment and using good old jute twine (the kind we used to tie our old textbooks up with, remember!? :D ) to secure the slats to the bed frame. that bed is now being used as a sofa in the living room.

i know i've been putting off invisalign for a while now (mainly because it's expensive), but my teeth have been moving more recently and my lower retainer now fits funny so i guess i don't really have much of a choice anymore. planning to think about it a little bit more and make that phone call to the dentist by the end of next week. i'm a little anxious; i just know the dentist is going to comment on my fissure stains and worn-down canines. AND the retarded lingual retainers which aren't even doing their job right.

i also ordered bleach for ombre hair, but thinking about it now i guess i should've waited for my hair to grow out first, since bleaching dyed hair is never a good idea and my hair is too short to ombre anyway. it's at an annoying length right now, and will be for the next 4 months or so until it grows past my shoulders. bleghstxkpqwuisklh.
