**WARNING*** Gross Factor

So these were another option from a store called "Deals" I let pass. The straps were too tight

Here is What I went with. I only did one where I put the feather Boas all around. The rest I left the bottoms bare so it would be easier to see the different. Which one do you think looks better?



Next. I've had bloody nose problems for a long time. When I don't have Vaseline stuffing my nose, I usually have about 3-5 bloody noses a day. This morning I was breathing through my nose half asleep and I started making weird noises and I could feel something dripping down my throat... It took me about an hour to get my nose to stop bleeding. I'd like to add that when I have a bloody nose, It can't just come out my nose. Half of all of it has to go down my throat :( When I went down stair to make something to eat. I was choking. I couldn't breath!!! So I leaning over the sink and coughed up this Giant Clot that was clogging my airways.

Of course I couldn't leave it alone. And because I'm fascinated by this gross factor (like I assume most people are) I recorded it. Not only that but I played with it. If you listen close enough you can hear it plop when I drop it (the best part) Enjoy! :)

Don't worry I cleaned everything very well.

Tooth Fairies

We are required to do at least one service project that SADHA organizes. And the Second year dental hygiene students are the leaders for each project. I'm the leader for Enchanted forest. I did it last year and I was brush bear. Basically a lot of little kids walk around doing trick-or-treat things in a path along a wooded park and there are several booths. We have a booth and we have puppets that we have the kids brush the puppets teeth and once they do we hand out toothbrushes and toothpaste instead of candy.
This year I decided instead of just having one fairy and one brushbear, we should have 1 brushbear and everyone else be a fairy.
So here is what I found at Dollar General. Little Tiara's and wings. I'm thinking about having everyone wear their scrubs.
The wings are a dollar and a little small so I'm trying to decided if this is what I want to use. Also I'm trying to think of ways to make these look more tooth themed.

This is what a classmate of mine made and let me borrow incase we wanted to make our own, these are bigger but to buy all the supplies would cost more.
I'm working with the president of the dental hygiene school Ms. LoGuidice and she told me if I bought them at a reasonable price (all 8) That I would be reimbursed.


So I need to make the choise today. Hmmmm....

To Kill a Hummingbird

On the way to class I saw a sick hummingbird. Sara and Shana came up and helped move it out of the concrete stairway into the bushes.




It was a beautiful bird, with metallic grean and yellow feathers. So we put some leaves in front of it and went to class.


After class it was in the same spot so Shana held the hummingbird and I drove us to the vet and they put it under. Sad.

Rare Food

I don't bye produce much (because it's expensive) but I indulged.

Yumm...
  • 1 lightly sliced Bell Pepper
  • 1 lightly sliced White Onion
  • (cooked in traditional Ragu)
  • Placed on top of Wheat Angle Hair noodles...
Yumm :)

This picture came out pretty good don't you think? I love how easy my camera is to use.

Anyway, What is going on with bell Peppers, where are all those annoying seeds?

I am sitting in the Case Study lab working on my abstract and special needs projects, while procrastinating with my blog. The one thing that keeps popping into my mind is...

...IT'S COLD!!! Seriously why does it have to be so cold in here that it makes my fingers reluctant to move?!?!?!



So here is where i'm sitting, in the back of the room, sitting on my hands inbetween sentences...

2 ft x 2 ft

When I arrived at school just now, I saw something that was glowing. I park in the garage and in the middle of all the gray cement was this bright green grasshopper looking insert



When I went home for Labor day I got to see my baby.



We are required to make a TWO FEET x TWO FEET tooth model that little kids can floss between... Seriously.... So here is my attempt on #29 and #30.



I used paper mache (newspaper and 1/2 water 1/2 Elmers glue) and duck tape...I didn't know how else to make it.
My brother Russell helped me blow dry in between layers (3 layers) It was frustrating and took me more time then I anticipated. My mom told me she didn't think they looked like teeth and had troubles picturing it together... Yeah...



Here is how they started.
