Enchanted Forest

A small group of us volunteering again.

(Kelly was the tooth Fairy and I was Brush Bear)

(Brush Bear is a full suit with boots and everything, I didn't wear the gloves so I could take pictures)

(my classmate Tonya)

THis time we set up a booth in Lenexa park and as little kids would walk around the trail in the park we would have them brush the puppets teeth and then give them toothpaste in place of candy.
It was raining but there was still a good turnout.

(this is me playing with the grape dog)

(Her wings had glitter on them)

(can you see my eye?)

(I was the only warm one)

Got Tapes!

My car for hopefully the next 3 years is the...


1993 Subaru Impreza


150,000 miles on it

Sold to me at $2,800.
It's a strange car, It says Manual on it and it has a Manual button...but it's an Automatic...apparently when you press the Manual button it puts it into 4 wheel drive.

Another thing is to lock the doors you either have to lock it with the key or you have to hold the handle up as you shut the door or it will not lock! I truly forgot that old cars do that!!!

I was really getting tired of walking 3 miles to school every morning at 5:30AM and coming home at 9:00PM (my last class ends at 8PM...yoga).

Plus it's about 50 degrees outside and raining and it's just a pain.

The first time I walked it it took me 1 hour and 5 min (I timed it) =light traffic

The second time it took me 50 min and it averaged that way.

It was a long week!

So I'm happy to have a car and I hope it last me 2-3 years till I have a job again and can buy my...newer car!
Also my dad made a yummy pecan pie for my visit back to find a car! Again I'm also greatful to all the help my parents gave me, they picked me up and drove me around and looked for cars with me! They always do a lot for me...

Another example...My mom bought me coffee today!!!! She does not support coffee (her religion recommends they don't have caffeine) but she went ahead and bought me some coffee beans today just because I like it! How cool it that!

Fall Break

We all knew it was going to happen. 7 years..... perfect record :(

I got some amusing pics tonight!

I think I got into that phase where you're pretty much home.... just had to go one more light and be home.

It amazes me that while going through all that, I somehow put it into park... long story.

Flobots were kinda lame but Tonya, Joe, Jason, and Amanda were fun!

When I'm not feeling well tomorrow to tomorrow and tell what happened tomorrow and what happpend. Tomorrow!

Odd That I can't even read now it's strange.

New Glasses!

My glasses came in today!


























Today in clinic we worked on taking blood pressure. My partner was Lauren. My Stethoscope and Sphygmomanometer (took me a few tries to say it right...) are black Lauren has the colored one.


It rained and I took this picture; I liked the colors.


Mom, my fat scrub pants work great!!! I can now straddle the chair without worring about ripping them!!!

This time tomorrow I'll be on Fall Break in Power and Lights watcing Flobots for FREE and then off to Topeka again.

Spoiled

Suzanne gave us her old furniture for our balcony. That is also the screen door, somehow Meghan knocked it off and I can't figure out how to put it back on. I tried for 10 min and decided to do it another day...

Also my dad asked me what I wanted from Myrtle Beach and I told him seashells because

1. They're free
2. They're pretty


He gave me a whole bag full of some pretty cool shells! He also gave me some shirts that say Myrtle beach.

I feel spoiled right now.

Vegetarian

I went home to Topeka this weekend! Clearly didn't keep up with 31 for 21 :(




Oy! I ate a LOT!!! We went to old Chicago and then I ate some fresh food for a change! I'm talking cantaloupe, Kiwi, salad...yum. I've been living off of Begals, Yogurt, Pudding, Granola Bars, and Pasta Roni. YES, I'm a junk food veggie. Also, Fiber bars should have warnings. DO NOT eat two in one day... Specially on days when you have yoga...

Whoever adds lard to their burritos, should STOP! Seriously, sometimes I rely on that to be meat free and then they go and put lard in it...

So supposedly I've been trying to be vegetarian for 12 years but you never know...

That aside, here are 2 more things I have issues with

1) Subway, I order a veggie delight and they cut the sandwich in half with the same knife they just cut the meatlovers sandwich with! Also the guy who puts the meat on the bread will often use the same gloves to put the veggies or the cheese on my sandwich!!

Oh man, one day I Flipped. I saw a small piece of dark meat fly up and onto my wrapper. I started: hyperventilating , sweating, biting my nails, I couldn't hear anything, and I gave a death stare at the piece until the lady saw it and flicked it off....ISSUES! (I did not want that wrapped in with my sandwich)

2) Going to a restaurant you know they cook the food on the same cooker they just cooked the meat on...

SOLUTION for self: STOP THINKING ABOUT IT!!!

(side note: tofu soup attempt last year=Disgusting! Yes, this pictures is over a year old I pulled it off of my xanga)

And Finally. This guy's videos make me cry.

Thomas- Volunteer animal rescuer!
(click above)

He has about 150 videos and I've only watched about 1/2 of them. Being a crybaby I sobbed through the videos and it took me 2 hours to recover.

Volunteering at the humane society... too sad. I don't see how I wont cry for every injured animal while trying to take them all home... someday I might do it...

Spoons

Saturday and Sunday Jessica came up and stayed over at our apartment and we celebrated her birthday! Mostly at Power and Lights.

(Misty, Jessica, Me, Meghan-my roomie)

(old coworkers!)


(good times)

Also Friday we went to Suzanne's (2nd year dental hygiene student) where we played washers and spoons and ate pizza. Kelly (another 2nd year) came over later and we went to Tanners.

(Suzanne)

(random guy #1, Me, Meghan, Kelly, random guy #2)

Busy weekend! Also I got my test back today, I thought I did really good and it ended up being an 84%...her tests are ridiculously difficult!!!

Seriously she asked:

What cusps form the transverse ridge on permanent mandibular first molars.

ANSWER: NONE!!! (there is no transverse ridge on man. 1st molars) -but yeah, I got that one right; still so TRICKY!!!

It's midterm week!

Meghan

Here is my roommate and I. Roomies since July 31st; we don't see each other much. This is good because that means there's less chances for us not to get along.



I'm ready for Fall break, I'm going back to Topeka to see my cat. My parents will be in California for a wedding so it'll be my brothers and I.

Lauren!

Things said today in our cubical...


Oh, your have a bone their?

I forgot your mouth ended!

Turn left, NO!

Turn ri-ru-re-right.

Did that hurt?
No, why?
You're Bleeding!

It wont stop bleeding!

Alright Hun-bun lets see what'cha got.

I can't seem to keep my hands out of your mouth and my arm off your boobs.

We probably just gained an extra year of life
How?
Because we laughed so much

October

October is National Awareness month for:

Breast Cancer
Down Syndrome
Dental Hygiene

And probably more.


(we set up a booth)

So people, rub those breast, respect those with an extra 21, and brush those teeth!
