I promise Ill start blogging and using pictures that were taken with my digital camera or even James nice expensive camera. For now though-This will have to do.

Happy St Patricks Day! 

About the only thing fun James and I did for St Patricks day was wear green. I even bought a special pair just for the gym! (Which I would have bought anyways-buuuuuuut I had to make sure I wasn't gonna get pinched)

My current FB picture on my profile

Why am I posting a picture of myself? Because this is whats new. See that picture up above ^. Thats my typical closed mouthed smile. I smile more like this then I do open. I've always been little paranoid about my teeth. They aren't perfect and thats OK.  I've done a really good job at accepting the beauty within myself and realizing I will never fully reach perfection no matter how much I try. Still... when I think about family portraits, and things of the nature, I really would like my smile to be improved upon. They are not terrible. In fact all of my teeth are aligned except for one tooth and  I'm not going to get braces. (Too expensive,too much time, and I kind of feel like Im a little too old now-even though thats not really true) Besides I already had them once but didn't wear the retainer- hence why the minor flaw.

Luckily there is a alternative. I can get a cosmetic crown put on. I have not decided what I am going to do. I need to find out how much it will actually cost it get it done. They gave me a estimate and I was OK with the price they gave me-but Ill know in a couple of weeks if its more or less and I can decide then. It's a big choice. I will probably have to get a root canal if I get the crown (that was estimated in the cost as well) but the feedback I've received sounds like root canals shouldn't cause any potential cavities and by the sounds of it most crowns don't fall off.

 I'm really hoping that I can get this done and if I do Ill post a picture open smile, but if I don't I'm most definitely not gonna let it effect me one moment longer. I refuse to be self conscience when I can celebrate so many other good qualities about myself.  I choose happiness! Take that world! ;)
