Wired Lady...Makin' a Difference

After Michelle's speech tonight (and yes, I will admit, I was getting a little misty-eyed), I get an email from my sister that reads...

"Mom is making you get a Barack t-shirt. Which one do you want? Email me asap."

Hmmmm...ok...so, here's the one I want...

Ew. Seriously. Gross.

Soooo you learn something new every day, right? Wellllll today I learned when searching Google Images for 'braces' Wired Lady (me, myself, & I) show up on the page 2. Cool, right?

Um...no, not cool. Why? Ooooh because I show up directly under a naked woman with a rubber mechanical 'tool' (so-to-speak) in her hand!!!!

Chalk that up to another act of daily making my mother proud...

I will vote for the president who implements a new crack down on people with braces fetishes. That's a high priority in this country, right?

You Look Different

Tonight I treated myself to spicy vegetable soup and pad Thai from my favorite 'B' - rated Thai restaurant, Piriya. I hadn't been since surgery and on top of that, haven't even ordered for lunch delivery at work. I knew I was walking into a battle zone -- as the owner, no matter how often I order, always gives me crap for not ordering enough.

So, I walk in and the owner, says ..."You look different." After 13 hours at work, I didn't feel up to playing the "Let Me Explain My Bizarre Dental Scenario Game." So, I played dumb. "What?! Ohhh? I just look really tired -- that must be it."

Her response. "No, no ... you look really different. AH! I know -- you are ... taller!"

We chalked it up to the Kors heels and said our goodbyes.

Sometimes people are worth the investment of time and energy to explain why one would have her mouth wired shut -- and some ... no matter how good their shrimp and noodles are ... are not.

Pick your dental-explanatory battles wisely.

Meet My Hero

Wish I had thought of it.
Special thanks to Laura for brightening the Wired Lady's day.
