Working at Home

I have a lot of paper work to review and an orthodontist appointment this afternoon. It wasn't worth the trouble of driving in this morning, so my boss let me work from home again. I'm taking a break from the review and enjoying my new iPod. Damn that thing is cool! And the iTrip radio tuner is wonderful. I can't wait to go on a long car ride again.

In the controversy of those who think President Reagan was a saint or a sinner, I'd be curious at your answers to the following:

Who would you classify as...

1. ... the saint?
2. ... the devil?
3. ... the ultimate comic?
4. ... the great onscreen lover?
5. ... the grande diva?
6. ... the person whose 15 minutes are nearly up?
7. ... the celebrity most likely to end up in porn?

Free from the shackles of braces!

After working half a day at home, I headed to my orthodontist. I love her, she's so funny.. and she sings! She saw my iPod and immediately wanted one. After having her tear my brackets off with pliers (no joke!), she polished my teeth and got me fitted for my clear retainer. You can't even see it when I'm wearing it.

I had this enormous gap between my two front teeth. I've always wanted it gone. As a grown-up, I finally could pay for it myself. After 16 months in braces and hellacious flossing time, they are off and they are straight. The pictures below are my before and after type pics. One with the gap is from two years ago, one of the few that I'm actually smiling in. The other is from today. Did I mention I love my orthodontist???? She's so cool.
