Braces Back to Networking

The braces made an appearance last night at the "Digital LA" gathering a the luxie Sky Bar. And by 'luxie' I mean, ridiculously expensive drinks for no freakin' reason. $12 for a glass of wine?! Are you kidding me. That's 6 bottles from Trader Joe's!

Anywhoooo....the braces were out in all their glory. And of course, many mingling comments were received from strangers....

• the creepy guy who liked the braces
• the close-talker who points and asks
• the random, who comments on the strong handshake - as a surprise by fronting the braces

cool. just tryin' to make it work...

Braceless Batman

Last night I was lucky enough to score my seat to "The Dark Knight."

Enjoyed the film but just one, tiny criticism....um....no braces!

No where in Gotham did I see a wired individual. What's up with that? Anyone out there -- correct me if I'm wrong...

A Fishy Anniversary All Around

Last night Steve and I celebrated our made-up 'anniversary.' Yup, that's right. Blue Jam Cafe on Melrose is not just for breakfast anymore. Friday night BYOB dinner...um...yum!

I don't know about you all but I find that fish is the best option for post-surgery dining. Always soft -- always a good time. The secondary choice would be chicken, but last night's Halibut Special was definitely the way to go. While in this picture, my halibut is half eaten and sort of gross looking...I swear...it was delicious - just had to share...

Work Gatherings In Braces

I was at a work gathering the other night and awkwardly, in conversation, my braces were mentioned. Is it weird that 1 year and 3 months into this little 'adventure,' I have absolutely no feeling toward wire-mentions. Like...I am highly 'over it.' By that I mean, I don't take offense...I just laugh about it.

I know they look like sheeeiit...so...can we all just pretend they dont exist and move on with our lives?

Pretty please.

Fine. Be that way. I gotta go brush now...

Post-Surgery Derm Appointment

Soooooo you wouldn't think about your skin necessarily, when planning for jaw surgery. But -- you should.

Um...my skin seriously went through hell after my face expanded 10 sizes, then back to normal.

So, today I was back at the dermatologist for the first time. It had been a while. Literally, the dude was like..."Umm, yeah...we have our work cut out for us." Yah. I know. Thanks, Doc.

So, Save the Wired Lady's Skin is in full force! Really, every day I feel like I add a new doctor to my life. I have accumulated quite an 'entourage.'

Wired Lady Confession

Ok. So. What if I sometimes clean the gunk out of my braces with the back end of my earring?!??!

I'll fess up. Anyone got a problem with it?

Well, perhaps you would, if you too were sitting in your car, at a red light, wondering what they hell was going on in the car next to you....

Wired in Sin City

This weekend braces represented in VEGAS - big time!!! It was a fabulous weekend with my favorite girlfriends. Lots of fun, sun and some fantastic cocktails!
