I'm having major surgery to break & reset my jaw sometime in the next year.  (Visit my blog, http://www.happygoplucky.com/) To prepare for this surgery my teeth will be pushed, pulled, & prodded into different positions. I will have a gap between my two front teeth large enough to put my thumb through - horizontally. (Take a minute to look at the width of your thumb - this ain't no cute Madonna/Lauren Hutton gap.) I'll have braces, along with a scary device called a palatal expander. This is all going to be painful & I'm going to look semi-to-very weird for at least 6 months. 

My blog & youtube channel are going to explore all things that make me happy, as well as document the jaw surgery process. My hope is that if I focus on what makes me giggle & fills me with joy, I won't have as much time to feel sorry for myself. This is going to be difficult enough to go through - why be miserable & depressed too?
