Blogging Every Week in April

I've seen several people start BEDA (Blog Everyday in April) or VEDA (Vlog Everyday in April), and by the time I realized that I should attempt it too, I'd already missed several days. Last month I couldn't even meet my goal of ten blog posts in a month, though, so it's probably best that I didn't set myself up for failure. At the very least I can promise BEWA, however unimpressive it might seem.

Nothing out of the ordinary has happened in the past week, so blogging completely slipped my mind on my day off yesterday. The archivist I volunteer for was on vacation last week, so the only time I left the house was to have dinner with my friends one night. Other than that, I spent my time reading books, cleaning out my hulu queue, and making money at Target. This week looks to be exactly the same, except for the 'hanging out with friends' bit. It never fails that we can only find one night that everybody's free, and last night severe weather warnings canceled our plans (the worst part was that if we had waited to make a decision instead of canceling right away, we could have totally had dinner together because the storm didn't actually arrive until 7:00 and only lasted an hour).

I did go to the dentist yesterday, so that was probably the highlight of my week (and not necessarily in a good way). Ever since I got my braces off and my permanent retainers put on, I've been paranoid that I'll develop cavities on those teeth because it's so hard to clean around them properly. Apparently that shouldn't be a worry, though, because the two cavities that the dentist found are on the top of my molars, arguably the easiest spot to clean. According to my dentist, it's the rarest type of cavity, where the enamel wears away before collapsing and forming a small hole. The hole was probably there six months ago, during my last visit, but now it's starting to decay. I'll have to get that fixed in the next couple of months, particularly since my parents "suggested" I take care of it before I go to England and end up having a dental emergency there (thankfully they didn't crack any offensively predictable jokes).

I've got some exciting plans coming up, including the royal wedding and seeing Oscar-nominated movies at the dollar theater. But obviously I want to save those for another blog post.
