Okay, time for a new post. I could have had a lot to post about this summer, but because there was a lot going on and a lot to post I didn't have time to post it. So, when I'm not doing anything and I do have time to post I don't have anything to post. But today we are going home to California and we have to leave two hours after Mom and she hasn't left, yet. She was having problems with the car and then she got a rental. So, now I don't know what she's doing. But anyway, yesterday was pretty exciting.
I got CONTACTS! I never posted that I was going to get them, but I talked to Amy about doing it with long nails and Lizzie said she thought I should get them, too, so I got them. I don't know if you all know that I tried contacts before when I was only nine. You can imagine how that turned out. Plus when I tried to take them out my mom wasn't even there. Some old lady was with me and started yelling at me. Afterward Mom felt so bad that she had left. Overall, it was just an awful experience. So, I was super scared when I went to try them out again. I knew three years had passed, but I was still super scared and nervous. I think the main reason the last time went so awful was because I was under a lot of pressure. This time everything was so much better. I watched a video where they showed me a new way to take out my contacts out and Diane's brother, Ryan, (he's the eye doctor. It helped having my step uncle as the doctor) talked to me and told me about when he got contacts. He told me I could take as long as I needed to put them in and take them out. So, then I washed my hands and sat down at a glass table with Ashley, a woman who works there. She was super nice and calm and gave me some tips. The video told me to take my index finger and slide the contact down as I looked up and then without moving my finger taking my thumb and taking it out. That way is so much easier than grabbing the center of my eye. It took me two or three times to put them in and then take them out and then when I put them in the second time I did it on the first try. I took them out before dinner when we got home. Ryan said to wear them for five hours. I got both contacts out by myself on the first try. I couldn't believe how easy it was. I'm going to wear them for seven or eight hours today.
Then, yesterday afternoon we saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2! I loved it. I was crying off and on the whole time. I can't really remember the book very well, so I don't know how close they did it to the book, but I still liked it. My step brothers weren't so easily pleased. They said, "It wasn't bad" or "It was nothing like the book!" They judge the movies way to harshly. They only really like movies that weren't based off of books at all or that are exactly like the book (and when is that ever going to happen?). But anyway, I loved it. It was hard crying with my contacts since it was my first day with them and I didn't know if they were still in or if I was crying them out. But it was great. I hope you all liked it. I love you all! :)
