Oral Surgery

Well, it's finally going to happen! I'm getting oral surgery done on Thursday! Yes, I realize that's not normally something to get excited about. But in my case, it'll be great!!! This coming Thursday at 8AM I am going in to get veneers!! I'm so excited!! I thought about posting a before and after picture but vetoed the idea because I really don't like my teeth (hence why I'm getting veneers). For those of you who don't know what they are, veneers are a porcelain cap for your teeth. It simultaneously whitens teeth and straitens them, enlarges or shrinks them all at once. Many people get them who have less than perfect smiles. The dentist will shave off about 1 mm from the front of each tooth and then seal the porcelain cap on top of it. They're doing at least the top 8, maybe 10 teeth. It'll be nice to have a pretty, white smile for once in my life. I'm maybe just a little nervous about them actually shaving off my teeth, something that will be completely irreversible, but I've always been a little self-conscious about my smile, so I think it'll be worth it. This Thursday they'll actually just be putting on a plastic covering while the sculptor is making my porcelain veneers. I'll post pictures once I get it done and later, once I have the porcelain caps, I'll post comparison pictures as well. I'm super excited and will be sure to keep updates on here.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all those mothers out there!!! I've found (and I'm sure everyone who's been a mother longer than I have knows this already) that being a mother is usually a very thankless job. But it's so fun!!! It's nice that there's a day set aside for everyone to stop and really thank their mother. So I wanted to say a huge

THANK YOU MOM!!!

to my own mother. I love you so much and I'm coming to appreciate everything you've done for me more and more; especially now that I'm a mother myself. I wonder, quite often actually, why in the world you ever put up with anything from me!!! Cami is a dear, but there's just sometimes that I want to scream! And she can't even walk or climb yet!! Thank you for putting up with me, demon child that I was. I'll be forever grateful. I love you.

On another note, I've been meaning to update my blog recently, but at first I just wasn't in the mood and now I just don't want to because it means playing catch up and you all know how much you hate it. I've lamented about it before, so I won't go into it again. I'll try to get to it soon. For any of you who care, stay tuned, I'll post something interesting eventually.
