The last day of my normal life

My "normal" life consisted of many things, the most interesting (to ME) being shopping and traveling. Mainly in Dallas, but I've had my moments in KC too. Today was the beginning of the end for the rest of the year. I signed my life over to my orthodontist beginning at 9:30am. I've already gone through this in my teen years, but apparently I have to go through it for 18 more months now. Sigh. Oh well. THIS time I'm determined to keep my teeth perfect. But, the downside, it means that I will have $175 less each month for shopping and traveling. I'm just going to have to get more creative. Hmmmm......
