A Poem

Here is a poem I just wrote.....

The Selfish Miser
By: Jaime Robinson

How I love my house,
How I love my cars,
How I love my white blouse,
How I love my glass jars!

How I enjoy my pool,
How I love my rings,
How I enjoy my own rules,
How I love my things!

How beautiful my hair is,
How beautiful my face is,
How beautiful my mare is,
How beautiful my case is!

But how I need this,
And how I need that,
How I want everything
From skyscraper to cat!

If you observe the last few lines, you will notice that it changes from "I need this, I need that," to "I want everything." Also, you may or may not notice, that the miser is not only selfish, but also greedy, vain, and proud of his things.

Ps. I'm open to any critics.

Back From The Orthodontist

We just got back from the orthodontist at around 10:43 this morning. NO MORE BRACES!!

It wasn't too bad getting them off actually, except for when they scraped the glue off. Yeah, lots of pressure. Ehh, doesn't feel too great.

Felt kind of weird having no braces. I mean, I'd been wearing them things for a few years now. Made me feel like there was something on my teeth....like my lips! =D

Yeah, but it was cool! Look different now. Wow! Totally different from what my teeth WERE like. I was a bad case, man....

Going to get my retainer in a week. They did my molds. Apparently I don't get to choose whether or not I want the metal or the plastic... I was GOING to go with metal, but whatever.... Actually, now I think I'd go with plastic anyways, so...

SO YEAH!! Here's a pic of me and Will (Yes, he got his off same time too. NO FAIR!!) without braces. Um, by the way, that hat I'm wearing...I was just being silly that night, just so you know....that is the only reason I'm wearing it.


...and here's some more pics....

Braces

I'm going to the orthodontist in 7 min. Yep, they're taking my braces off!!! YAY!!!! =D

Here's a recent pic of me with braces. Yeah, I know I look kind of weird here, but that's me. Next post, you'll get to see me WITHOUT braces!!

Pole Green Park

We took little Mikey to Pole Green Park the other day. Will and Jaime mostly skateboarded at the skate park. Mom and I let Mikey play on the playground. It was pretty fun.

Mikey in his yellow race car.

Swinging.



Whoa!! Is that Big Foot?? (.) (.)



Weee!!! =D





Ah Ha Ha!!!



Yay!!



Me: Hey Mikey, don't you think that's a little dangerous?....(Next picture -->)



...Mikey: Naw Court, I'm a professional.



Climbing through the tube.



Hey Mikey, what's that behind you??



Climbing up the slide.



Sliding. Woohoo!!
