don't cry.

So.  I actually wasn't going to write about this.  I was just going to act as though it wasn't happening.  But seeing as that would be lame and also seeing as I don't think anyone that I know in Real Life besides those that already know have read this...I'm over it.

Tomorrow I am going to get two teeth pulled out.  (My #9 & 10...for those of you involved in dentistry) One of the front ones and then the one to the left (my left) of that.  FUN TIMES RIGHT?!? 

Cliffnotes of WHY: Summer 2001 I was at stunting at cheer camp.  Girl comes down...elbow connects with mouth...teeth in hand...tears...panic.  The doctors/dentists just shoved them into place and said in awhile I would have to look into something more permanent.  It has been awhile.

Rundown on PROCESS: Teeth pulled by skilled oral surgeon.  I am out cold.  I wake up with "partial" in my mouth...fake teeth.  In February I go in and they put in implants....some time later I get fabulous new porcelain teeth.  We are looking at about 6 months of this.

And I just typed it out and it seems like words.  Seems like a diagnosis for someone else.  I want this to not be a struggle for me.  I want it to be an inconvenience that I am able to deal with.  DAMN.  I want it to not happen.  I really do not want to be bitter at the beginning of 2006.

So for the record...

<---this is my smile.  We'll call this the before picture.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
