Monet Smile

Well, after many, many, many years thinking about doing something about my Monet smile, I am officially DOING something about my Monet smile. You're asking yourself, What's a 'Monet Smile?"

Cher: No, she's a full-on Monet.
Tai: What's a monet?
Cher: It's like a painting, see? From far away, it's ok, but up close, it's a big old mess.

P.S. Clueless is one of the GREATEST MOVIES EVER!

I digress. So, I had an appointment with an orthodontist this morning. Who was not at all like the orthodontist I had when I was 11 who made me feel super uncomfortable and would not stop talking about how "cool" it was that we had the same name. And he was a man. Ugh. Because, yes, I had braces when I was younger. I wore them for two years, and then they came off. And then he gave me a retainer, which, admittedly, I wore not as often as one is supposed to wear it. But then it broke when I was in high school and I made the [bad] decision not to tell my parents about it because 1) I hated wearing the thing and b) I didn't want to add money stress. Soooo, long story short, I am now going to be almost 3o and wearing braces. Hot, right? Maybe I'll start wearing low-cut, tight shirts to divert attention. :)

Getting my teeth situation straightened out (pun intended) was on my Mental Bucket List for Turning 30. The things I didn't write down on paper, but still wanted to get accomplished. I won't have perfectly straight teeth by the time I'm 30, but I will by the time I'm 31 :)
