Easter Bunny is early!


Yes, the Easter Bunny came early.

Let me explain...

When I was 9 years old, I was home because of a snow day for school. I decided that it would be a "cool" idea to take my snow tube and go sledding down my hilly street before the plows came by to remove the snow. Holding my snow tube firmly in front of me, I got a running start. I then jumped on to my snow tube (belly first) and somehow....I missed. I remember hearing a crunching noise as my face hit the snow covered pavement. I reached into my mouth and low and behold, my two front teeth were missing large chunks. I searched the snow, crying of course, with no luck. I knew I was in BIG trouble. I made my way into the house and of course my mom  sent me back out to find the missing pieces. Days later I found myself in the in dentist's chair as he bonded my teeth and made them pretty again.

Fast forward 20 years later. My two front teeth weren't so pretty anymore. Because of my hard core coffee drinking habit, my teeth got stained. There were little cracks forming. The dentist discovered a cavity lurking in one of them, which resulted in two painful roots canals. Boy, did it hurt, well at least the novacaine. But it gets better....

So today, I got two temporary crowns. I look like a bunny, buck teeth and all. They do not resemble my originally shaped teeth. They are rather large and VERY white. They are longer than my other teeth. I kind of feel like Hermione when her teeth got all large. Luckily, these are ONLY temporary. I get my pretty porcelain crowns in one month. The bad news is that these temporary ones could fall off if I am not careful. My luck, they will fall off during my vacation to Aruba. I will be packing glue I think. 

Just call me the Easter Bunny. Better yet how about Babs from Tiny Tunes? She was pretty sassy...
