Big News for Rowie

saffronhareThing the first: Her braces come off on November 12th in a double-appointment orthodontia-palooza! It's been more than two years. She says she wants to eat a caramel apple immediately.
Thing the second, and the one that's got me going all SQUEE: Her Chamber Choir (Chanticleers) is going to DC in May. But this is no ordinary trip...they'll be performing at the Kennedy Center. For Memorial Day.
It's one of those things I wish I knew how to make all big and bright and sparkly, you know? Their choir director sent in an audition recording; the Kennedy Center liked it; and now they're ON. I'm sort of spun around by what a big effin' deal it is...as you can imagine, and as I've already mentioned to grandparents, this trip will not be cheap. The first payment installments (thank goodness they're spreading it out a bit) will be coming due in a few weeks. You can all expect to be hearing about fundraisers. Direct contributions to the OMG DC Fund will always be welcome. :)
Whee!

Date: 2009-10-27 02:03 pm (UTC)Speaking as someone who has Been There Done That on the braces, though...er, she ain't gonna be eating no caramel apple the day she gets her braces off. Or maybe even the day after. Her teeth are going to feel loose and rubbery and just plain weird for at least 48 hours.
If the braces are coming off on the 12th, tell her to shoot for a Saturday Eating Excursion. She's going to be mighty sad if she sits in that chair getting those things yanked off, dreaming of crunchy/chewy, only to find there's no way she can chew afterward.
