Well, hello again my dears. Time for me to update a bit my journal in here.

I am in braces. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to learn how to talk and eat with some metal thinggies on my molars and premolars. I have Damon orthodontic braces and I am preparing it seems for invisalign (invisible aligners, a very expensive but cool orthodontic system). I had some tooth aches .. I wasn't able to chew anything, I couldn't touch my upper and bottom teeth without cussing. Adi knows how it's been and little by little the pain disappeared. I celebrated my first loaf of bread eaten entirely (not only the soft part) 2-3 days ago. I also ate some chicken liver today (first meat piece in 2 weeks). My teeth started moving a bit .. it's weird, but I am OK. I am very informed in all my treatment stages, read a lot so it's normal. I need some wax to keep myself from getting canker sores from the brackets, but I am OK.

I need 20 months at least in the treatment (7 in Damon braces and the rest in Invisalign).

On the other hand I have my own design firm for 2 months now. I am working like crazy, have many sites to finish and it's OK. At least I do have some clients and really earn a bit ... The problem is that my time on my own sites is a bit limited, so don't worry if I seem a tad quiet. I am here

I also started enjoying life a bit more and try to get some time for me .. I am exercising with Adi at a Tae Bo class (and we always stay a bit more in the town afterwards .. it's OK since we don't go out too much) and we also plan to go to the pool whenever we can. In Romania it's summer, scorching sometimes. I do want to get some good tan (we're actually quite burnt after staying in the sun for 4 hours last Saturday).

That would be it for tonight. Have to finish a design for a client. Kisses

2008

Yes, it's that time .. we passed the big night and now we try to see the new year. I just spent a quiet night with my BF and his mother, made some more deals on my web design job, made some changes on the forums here, am ready for a hard 2008, since it's gonna be very busy one.

I hope you are also OK and can't wait to fill in as many details as possible

hey! you have braces too! lolz

I have mine for more than 3 months now and I still find it hard to bite using my front teeth so I always end up tearing foods into small pieces using my hands Its messy but it hurts a lot when I bite using those front teeths

I have 6-7 months already and it's better now. But we're gonna have some awesome smiles

Yup! that's the best motivation when I have mouth sores

I hope mine won't last for more than a year, my cousin have braces for 3 years now
