Invisalign Finish Line

Nineteen months ago I had my first orthodontist appointment

for those nifty adult braces that are clear plastic and

almost undetectable while you are wearing them.

I'd always had a slight overbite and over recent years

had started moving my teeth with my stress-induced

teeth grinding at night.  Good grief!

So, I went back to Taylor's orthodontist since we

liked him so much and because he helped invent

the Invisaligns, too!

Oh..and because he's just so much fun!

Here I am with him for some of my 'after' pictures today.

Remember Jack winning that Cutest Pet Photo Contest?

That was from his office, too!

He really knows how to enjoy his job. :)

I had permanent retainers put in so I can't grind them back

 into a crooked position. haha.  We know my stress isn't going

 to go away, but at least my smile will stay! hahaha.

If you're in the area and need some work done, I highly

 recommend him.  Click HERE for his website.  He said I look

like Hollywood glam...and thanks to him, I feel like it! 

P.S. Thanks so much for ALL the love on my last post. xo

O is for Op. Post-Op, that is.

"O" could have been for orthodontist, since I did have an appointment today.

But how boring is that?  I waited 25 minutes in the waiting room, had a 15 minute appointment, got 5 new sets of Invisaligns and came home!   I thought kitty post-op would be much more fun!

And the photographs certainly are more fun to look at. lol.  Hope you aren't tired of kitty photos!  I promise this will be it for a little while at least!  Everyone is doing very well.

Lots of catnaps, drinks and eating.  The weather has been

wonderful for lounging in the sun and sleeping.

Charcoal, watching a butterfly.

The girls, Grey and Oreo, with Bleeding Hearts and Crab Apple blossoms.

Marmalade and the lovely Redbuds

 And Domino, who's ears picked up the sound of the

camera's shutter even though I was 25 feet away!

Would you believe Marmy is the only one of these cats I've touched?  Of course, he's from

the original litter and they are all friendly.  I have made progress, though, in that they all will come inside and eat from my hand.    Their wild mothers taught them well to be distant.

At least they didn't run off and don't seem to be holding a grudge against that scary vet trip!

I'm doing the A to Z Challenge for the month of April!

We're celebrating the letter "O" all day Tuesday the 16th.

What I Did Wednesday #11

please click to enlarge

1. Noticed the morning sun making silhouettes with the lilac bush.
2. Enjoyed the fall colors from the front door.
3. Set out the Halloween candy for the trick-or-treat kids.
4. Put new flannel sheets on our bed. It's been getting down into the 30's at night! Sams Club had sheets, grey with gold accents, just like our room!
5. Used some pumpkin puree from the garden to make pumpkin bread. It's still in the oven as I write this post. Yum.
6. Smiled at two of my cats rolling on our neighbor's warm, sun-soaked driveway.
7. Assembled a new hamper sorter and put it where the upright freezer used to be. Took me an hour. ha. The instructions were weird. Ever have that happen? But it finally came together.
8. Picked up my Invisaligns at the orthodontist. I've always had a slight overbite and then over the last 2 years have watched several of my teeth begin to overlap each other. Turns out my teeth grinding at night is moving my teeth! In 16 months, they will be completely straight and better than before. Can you see the braces? No? Well, that's because they're invisible. lol. I'm so impressed, really, at the whole process.
9. Enjoyed the drive to run errands today. Fall is just gorgeous!
10. Picked even more green peppers and tomatoes from the garden. They just don't want to stop! I've canned lots of salsa and soup. Yum.

Just a lovely, ordinary day!

I hope your day is going well!
