Rants of the Tinsel Teethed (Toothed?)

"Someday, when you have a BEEEUTIFUL! smile...you'll be glad for all this pain."

SUREEEE I WILLL! but right now i have to deal with all this hardware in my mouth.
sure its great to know that if someone is shining a uber powered light in your face you can get revenge simply by smiling and showing off your grill...but seriously...as i sit here and contemplate the ratio of pain to the growling in my stomach, i dont find it worth it at all. all these promises of someday, SOMEDAY! when right now im just worried about being able to survive until that promised day!
apple sauce...overcooked mac&cheese...apple sauce...overcooked mac&cheese...apple sauce...
you get the idea, im sure. and i haven't even had these buggers in my mouth for a year yet! its felt like ages! only 523 days 4 hours 49 minutes and 12 seconds to go.

NOTE TO SELF:
Things to be grateful for this Thanksgiving:
1) God's everlasting love.
2) Family who loves me because they have no choice.
3) Friends who, if they dont love me, at least put up with me.
4) Mac&cheese and apple sauce for the days I can't eat anything else.
5) A beautiful smile (someday) courtesy of the metalworks in my mouth.
6) An orthodontist appointment this week instead of the week of Thanksgiving.

you make those who have been blessed with never needing braces feel bad. Eric always says... and I'm sure by now he believes, that i'm going to be one of those people in their 30's or 40's with braces... then he laughs at me. haha... but at least I don't have to worry about metal detectors going off while I go through =]

bravo applesauce...
bravo mac&cheese, it's not your fault you're burnt.

i'm looking forward to piles upon piles of mashed potatoes.... with rivers of gravy, and little corn pebbles.
