Aren't Braces Bad Enough?

So, I went to the Orthodontist Wednesday....And I need Braces, which is what I was expecting, what I wasn't expecting was needing an Expander. :/ And that freaks me out, and you have to turn it with a wrench every night.

Ummmmmm am I the only one who would be freaked out by something like that??? I didn't think so......I knew, know, I need Braces. I was expecting to need Braces, that's the only thing I was expecting. Ya know, I thought I'd go in they'd say 'Yeah, you need Braces, but you wont have them that long' then they told me I need a Expander, and that just threw me off. Really off, I was mentally prepared for Braces. And it took me awhile to get to that point, now I've got to get to the point were I can think about having an Expander and not wanting to cry....Yea, you heard me! I'm an sixteen year old girl, we cry about everything, OK?
Anyway, I need to stop stressing out or I'm going to be a walking Zombie from lack of sleep.

Has anyone else had an Expander?? If so, do you have any advice? And does it hurt?

Red Lobster Biscuits......

I made Red Lobster's Biscuits today! Their sooooooo good!!

If you've never had these before, you must make them! Or go to Red Lobster and keep getting them to bring you basket after basket of them. (Like we do when ever we go! lol)

So when I made them I doubled the recipe........because I'm a pig and will literally stand in front of the oven and eat them right after they come out of the oven.....(So, I'm just going to give you the normal measurements. Then if you want to be a pig like me you can double it. lol)
 First get your stuff together and preheat your oven to 450.

Then put 2 cups of Bisquick, 1/2 a cup of Cheese, and 2/3 a cup of Milk in a bowl.

Then stir it all together until it's all wet and sticky, like so:

Then make them into balls, I used my hands but if you don't like getting messy you can use a spoon.

Then you pop them in the oven for 9-10 minutes, after their done take 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/8 a teaspoon of Garlic powder and melt that in the microwave, and brush it on your Biscuits! Then dig in!.....But try not to eat them all at once.

Yyyyyuuuummmm!
Have a nice day!

Swamp People......

Have any of you ever watched Swamp People??? If you haven't, you need too! It's about alligator hunters. I watch it with my dad, there's this one guy named Willie that we like to make fun of. "Daddy don't like pistols!" "Daddy! Don't shoot me daddy!" *lol Inside joke* I'm going to warn you though, if you click that link you might get scared, because it's a picture of Willie, and he's scary.....*But you really should click on the link, lol* Anyway in the newest episode he killed an alligator with a knife! A Knife! A freakin' knife! And he so frigin' ugly! And some woman married him! Say it with me now, EEEEEEEWWWWW!!!!!!! lol
My dad thinks it's fun to tease me about liking him. Which I don't, he's nasty. Like really nasty lol.

 In other news! I got to babysit today! :) My Nephew is so sweet!....And cute!....and cuddly!! =D

Also, in case you were to afraid to click on the link:

 Yep, that's Willie. lol

Have a nice (Nightmare free!) night!

Jedi Braid...

So, I went to see Star Wars: Episode 1 in 3D with my brothers this weekend........Annnnd I wish I had put a Jedi Braid in my hair when we went to see it....but I didn't, so I did it today! And I'm going to tell you how.
First: Put you hair up into a pony tail.
Second: Take a sectioned of hair from behind your ear and pull it out of your pony tail. Like so:

Third: Braid that sectioned of hair. Then take down you pony tail. Annnnnd!

There you have it! An Obi-Wan Jedi Braid! (But, mine doesn't look as good as Ewan Mcgregor's)......Nerdy I know, but I think it looks cute.....And it makes me want to watch Star Wars! lol
*Also, you probably notice I showed you the other side of my head in the first pic, that's because I already had the braid on the other side of my head! lol*

Well, I'm off to get my hair cut! Have a nice day!

J3P0

I'm a Auntie!!! My sweet little Nephew was born on the 24th!

His name is John Douglas Wood III. And he is so cute! I love him to death already! :)

My brother (His daddy.) teased that he was going to call him J3P0. Ya know, like C3P0?! lol
Here some more pictures I took of him.

He wasn't even a day old and he already acts like his daddy! lol

Then he was waving at me! :)
He's such a sweet baby. And he smells so good! I love how babies smell.....and he's so soft! Perfect to cuddle with! :D
Have a good night everyone!

Randomness Number 2......

I know, I'm awful! I just can't come up with anything to post, or I'll start a post and then trash it....Oh, well. *Note: This post is going to be random. You have been warned! lol*
Anyway. My Sis In-law still hasn't had the Jelly Bean yet! He's too stubborn....Hhhhmmm....Sounds like his momma and his daddy! lol
Also, I'm getting really sick of my hair! It's gotten to the length where I just keep it in a pony-tail at all times. About three *Maybe four, or more* years ago I had super long hair, it came half way down my back. And then I cut it.....And ever since then I've never grown it out past my shoulders. (Maybe a little past my shoulders, but no more than that.) And I keep telling myself "Your not going to get it cut, your growing it out again if it kills you!" lol
My dream is to have long-curly-beautiful-not-frizzy-at-all!-hair. Like this:

*I love Taylor Swift!* But I've got this:

Yea, it doesn't looks too bad. But I never have it down any more. So I'm thinking about getting is cut....I thought this was cute:

I'm always looking for something different than I've had before, so if you guys have any suggestions let me know! I'd really like it if you did! :) *Just no Lady-Gagme hair cuts, please!*

Have a good night, and a good week, everyone!

What did 2011 teach You??

Sorry I've been M.I.A. :/

So, Happy new year!
2011 had it's up's and it had it's down's.

The up's:
I passed the test and got my learners!
I found out I'm going to be an Auntie.
I stopped driving like a granny and drove through town.
I got to see some of my cousins, who I hadn't see in years.
I met new people.

The down:
My Grandma passed away the week before Christmas...I miss her so much already, but I know she's in a better place now. She had problems with her health for so long, and had gone through so much. We knew it was going to happen for awhile now, but it still hits you hard when it does happen.

Now I have a question for you. You don't have to tell me the answer if you don't want too, I just want you to think about it.

What has 2011 taught you?.....Maybe it didn't teach you anything thing, but for me?
2011 and all of the things that have happened during that year taught me to slow down, step back and enjoy little moments. Try not to miss anything....Because you never know what you have until it's gone.

I miss you, Maw

Have a nice night
