My deep, dark secret!

Please don't get angry when I tell you
that I have been keeping a big, deep,
dark secret from all of you. Sorry!
Back in August (while at the beach house),
I had a tooth abscess. After numerous Dr.
visits, it was decided that I needed to have the
tooth pulled. No biggie, right!?! Well, actually,
since I admit to being a total tooth snob, it was too
much for me to handle! I had lower braces put on the
day before the tooth was pulled to assure the quick
movement of my teeth (to hide the hole). :0)
So, since August, I have had braces on my bottom
teeth. Sure, look back at previous posts and see if
you can see them....a game of sorts. :0)
Well, the tooth snob can no longer hide!
TOP BRACES....AHHHHH!
I will have these beauties for a few months and
then go back to normal...hopefully!
Yes, I did have braces once before in Jr. High.
Yes, my dad's not too happy about the fact
that I needed them again. At least this time
I have a husband that has to pay for them
(and they cost twice as much now).

No, I'm not thrilled with the way I look in them!
People say it makes me look 5 years younger
(they are just being nice, I know),
which would make me 30. So, does that mean I'll
look 5 years older when they come off, making me look
40?!? Oh, my! This 35 yr old looks ridiculous!!!

They do make you look very young...but only because we associate braces with teens...
