My pants are too tight.....I think I'll go eat some more crap!

So I think I need to start exercising. My pants are fitting kind of tight. I don't want to lose weight thought because I'm actually at a very healthy weight!!!! And....I could actually, FINALLY donate blood if I want because I now weigh enough. LOL!!!

So things are pretty peachy keen with my life. I am sill incredibly in love with David and we will be getting engaged very soon..... at least that's what he keeps saying. ;) I'm guessing it will be in the next two weeks...I'm hoping! I do know, however, that he has purchased the ring. I don't know if he has it in his possession because it was or is still being sized. I have TINY fingers!!

Other than that, I'm just growing up. Things come up with my home, my job, and friends that I learn life lessons through. I'm learning who to trust and how to make the right decisions. I'm just glad that I have some really solid people in my life.

Random thing. It cracks me up anymore how everyone thinks they are amazing photographers. Granted, I think some of my pictures are really awesome, but EVERYONE thinks that they are so awesome. LOL! I think everyone can take great pictures and a lot of my friends stuff.....I would totally put it in my house. But that's what I love about it....they are good pictures NOT taken by a professional. Digital cameras are what's amazing ;)

I need to go to bed now :)

I forgot my password....

It's been almost two months since I have written on here.....that's what we call a while. But, now that I am being held captive in my own home I have time to write! What a concept :)

I don't think there's too much new to say that people don't already know about. I have the most amazing boyfriend in the world!!! I love him to pieces....well, not literally but we both do really like puzzles :D That's probably one of the reasons we... "fit" so well together! Tee-hee!

Other than that....I'm stuck at home with mono. I guess I could call it an occupational hazard because I DO work with spit all day. But in all honesty we don't know how I actually got it. David is no sick though. You have no idea how hard it is to not kiss your boyfriend! He is uber sweet though. He's been taking care of me day and night. I even woke him up at 6:30am this morning to get me food and make me feel better. It's hard because one moment I feel fine and then the next I feel sick again.

I also hate the fact that my house is a mess! I want to clean but David won't let me!!!!! Grrrr!!!!!!!!! It's not like I'll rupture my spleen doing that....sheesh! Ok....well, I could, but it's highly unlikely.

Oh! And one very, VERY important thing. Miracle Max was absolutely right about chocolate; it makes it go down smoother. Yeah....steroid pills (prednisone) taste nasty! So....if you coat them in chocolate they go down smoother! :) Seriously....try it!

Well, I'm feeling super exhausted and sleepy. I'm going to go let myself be taken care of now.

Only a season

I have been too busy. But....Christmas is over, my cats are fixed, and I get to keep doing too much till December, January, and the beginning of February are over. Ha.

My Christmas was good, we had lasagna Christmas eve, and incredibly good rib eye roast on Christmas. We played some cards, and the Wii, I had some friends come over, and I didn't want it to end. :) I also saw AvP requiem. It was good for the action but there was no plot...ugh!

Oh! Backtrack, I went out dancing on the 23rd and looked gorgeous! I felt so pretty :) I went with Stephen and Nicc and saw a bunch of other friends there too. I did get ready with Elizabeth beforehand though. We sorta got mini makeovers....the people there thought that it was hilarious that I don't know how to wear mascara. I hate that stuff!! But when they put it on my eyes popped! That and my eyelashes looked twice as long....weird.

I'm going skiing this weekend with my sister, her boyfriend Joe, Nicc and some of his friends; I hope I enjoy myself because it has been freaking forever since I went up on a mountain. BUT....I used to be pretty decent. I mean, I was doing black diamond runs when I was 8. But still...that was a long, LONG time ago!

I'm going to go make dinner now!

alkdtheg'l ;;' My gosh it's late!

Yeah...I shouldn't be writing this, but I thought that I would anyways since it's already freaking late. I had an alright 21st. Six people came (one I didn't know....), and I'm not including myself. I had a giant strawberry margarita, a shot of tequila, and another regular strawberry margarita. I was stumbling and got pretty chatty. All in all I felt like I was on Nitrous Oxide. It's fun at first, but then you get tired of it and want it to go away. The funniest thing I think I said all night was "Please tell me that picture is actually crooked!" Yeah, at Chevy's they have tilted pictures on the wall; everyone just laughed at me.

I did not wake up with a hang over. Ariel drove me home and she made me eat bread and drink four big glasses of water. I slept pretty well too.

Today I hung out with my mom, had an amazing lunch (we went to Red Lobster - my dinner contained half of a snow crab, a lobster tail, garlic shrimp, and breaded shrimp. I also had a salad, french fries, and part of a piece of key lime pie.) Then I went to a performance, after that hung out with Elizabeth, Josh, Stephen, and Nicc. We watched a very odd movie and stayed there till just after midnight.

Then I took Nicc and Stephen home. Then me and Nicc hung out for a while and I took him to his friend Brian's place where me, him, Brian, and their friend David hung out. They were drinking a little and Nicc and I shamelessly flirted; it's what we do. We've known each other for a little over nine years, and we are six days apart. That and we had crushes on each other about six years ago. Super sweet guy. I had fun, but now I'm exhausted and I want to spend time with my kitties!!!

Sorry this isn't very exciting or written with more gusto.

I had a good title for this at one point.....?

You know that so many things in this life aren't that important when you can't remember them anymore....I had so much to say this morning....oh wait! I remember. I got pulled over. Yup, first time ever. The officer was nice and it only took, hmm, five minutes - maybe not even that. I still got to work on time though.

Today...I worked, same thing, but I did have some very nice, sweet patients. Got a birthday present from work, a beautiful vase with two matching candle holders. LaDonna wanted to get me a nicer present so she didn't get cake; however, a patient brought in a devilish (and it really was) chocolate cake. I felt like I gain five pounds after eating a small sliver. I think I'm still gaining weight too. As long as I don't have to buy more clothes I'm fine. :)

So yeah, came home and felt kind of blah....I decided to get cleaned up and go out dancing. There was hardly anyone there, but it still turned out to be a pretty decent night. Thank you Christian, Larry, Robert, and Rick! They made the night worth it! That and I did get a birthday dance which was nice....I've never had a birthday dance before. I'm hoping to maybe go out on Saturday and get one at a place where there's a heck of a lot more people, but that's way out in Tigard.

I feel like tomorrow's just another day and nothing special. At least at this moment it doesn't seem to matter that my birthday is tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a good day, aside from the nine patients that I have scheduled. I guess things like holidays and birthdays don't seem to stand out to me any more. Why is any day singled out to be better than the rest? If we all strive to live life with a daily joy and zeal (which I know I have been lacking a little as of late) the world would be a better place.

P.S. I did get the COOLEST thing ever!!!!!!! It's a small fuzzy electric pig that walks and makes piggy noises while it wiggles it's nose! My cats are so freaked by it!

I'll hat you later

Aahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm crazy, but I'm headed towards and even higher level :) My day today was so busy, I had to take x-rays on every patient and it was a FULL day! Each appointment was filled and everyone came. That and my boss sliced her finger....it was really bad! We had to pretty much force her to go to urgent care next door and get stitches. It took eight to close up her finger. And this was only midday! We all managed to get through the day.

I made it to a meeting that I had at 6:00pm and 6:05pm. I get to teach first year dental hygiene students their duty for Children's Dental Health Day in February. That day will be crazy! Last year I was a part of it and we gave about 300 children free dental care. I worked everywhere that day. I placed sealants, I was a rover for bringing kids to and from where they were supposed to go, I took probably at least 100 x-rays if not more (I had a new patient in the chair about every five minutes for a little while....), I gave dental education and post operative instruction, and I assisted a dentist doing fillings. This coming year I hope to either being taking x-rays all day or doing fillings with Dr. Ris. I will probably be doing fillings.

Anywho, after that I went over to Beth's to finish wedding programs. Alison, Matt, Jared, and David were tall there. I also got to meet David's dog, Max. Oh wow this dog....is part cat I swear! Not only that, but his dog had this black frisbee thing and....well, he wanted me to play with it. I told him no, and David...wow, um....he said that it wasn't a frisbee but a diaphragm for a large black woman. Oh my freaking GOSH!!!! I can't believe I heard that come out of his mouth! Me and Alison laughed incredibly hard. Wow. Um, yeah. So now me and David have this thing (something different from the frisbee). He was spelling sherpa hat yesterday and spelled h-i-t instead. So when I told him goodbye I told him that I would hat him later :)

So I hung out with my boss this weekend.....

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised at how much I saw my boss this weekend. It was pretty cool actually. Gospel Christmas was absolutely wonderful!!!!!! I had fun getting all dressed up too and managed to actually wear makeup *gasp*. I really hardly ever wear makeup. The last time I did was at my graduation in June. That and when I do, most people can't even tell that I am. W00t!

Oh! I love the sound the heals make when they hit the ground. Just a little thing about me. :)

Other than that, I had brunch with my co-workers this morning (or....yesterday). I technically had my first official drink (yeah I know....only four more days and it would be "legal") It was a mimosa. Champagne and orange juice with strawberries. There was like....BARELY any alcohol in it. In fact I couldn't even taste it and it wasn't any different than drinking orange juice with Sprite. So it really didn't feel like I had a drink. I will have a REAL drink on Thursday. P.S. If anyone is up for it, I'm going to Applebee's with some friends at about 8:30pm. Highway 99. :)

Other than that, I got home after ensemble practice. I made a scrumptious dinner and needed to eat it with someone else (cause there was a lot!). Called a few people, then I called Beth to talk with her about this Thursday and she was busy making programs for a wedding and I offered to come over with food and help her with programs. Sad for Paul though because he called me right after I made plans with Beth....he was hungry.

I need to go sleep. Goodnight/morning.
