To quote my little sis...I love music!

I am all sorts of excited!! It is amazing how a song can do that to me. Anyway I was just surfing Thursday's primetime and Smallville was just ending, so of course I pause because Tom Welling is so hot. The closing credit song was a Breaking Benjamin song "Forget it" It is my FAV Breaking Benjamin song! I love it so much! I am so glad that they are getting more publicity! They are an amazing band. I am definitely a fan.

This reminds me of yesterday in radiology lab I was the TA and a song came on and I swear the singer was Scott Stapp (lead singer of what used to be Creed)! I asked the girls in the lab and they concurred! It was him. So naturally I was perplexed. Had Creed gotten back together, was Alter Bridge no more? Such questions could keep a girl up at night. Luckily we live in the age of internet access. After a couple of clicks I found out that Alter Bridge is still alive and Scott Stapp has released a solo album! Way to go! I am so glad. Now I have Alter Bridge AND Scott Stapp! I am going to have to put this cd on my list of ones to purchase when I get some extra cash--yeah, like that is ever going to happen--Luckily I have until November 22 to save up my money (that is the release date of the solo album--and my sis's big two O bday)!!!

I am so glad Breaking Benjamin, Scott Stapp, Alter Bridge, Fallout Boy, and of course ROB share their talents with me!! I know there are so many more bands I love and are not mentioning....Who is your fav?

8 Days 'til Rob!!

I cannot believe it is only 8 days until I am in the same room as Rob Thomas!!! I am pretty sure I will not be sleeping anytime soon! It is like I am a kid and it is Christmas Eve for the next 8 nights! The only downer is that I am truly a looser. I have not found a male personage who is willing to take my second ticket and sit with me while I drool and swoon over another man. I just don't understand, who would want to miss out on that?

Guess what? I might have found my board patient! I was studying my local anesthesia in the classroom today, when Prof Gall and McConaughy came in and said that Midtown dental had a great potential pt. I went in and took a look. I am going to take him for my mockboard this Thursday, at this time I will get a more indepth knowledge of his oral health, I mean I saw his bitewings...wings of calculus! How exciting!! I am all sorts of excited about life even though I cannot get a date, and my sealant for smiles day is cancelled (I hope I get all my community service completed), I did get my first set of bleaching trays today (Thanks Korbin), and I got my costume for Halloween!

Mixed feelings...

That is what today has been full of. Today was the last day of my VA rotation. I am going to miss meeting all those individuals who have a way of making my life seem blessed. These men were patriots and fighters and now most of them are mentally distressed and some are homeless! I really appreciate them.

The other thing is my brother is going into the army. He leaves on Nov 1. That is so soon. I am happy he is enlisting because I love America and the way of life I have. I am sad he is enlisting because I love him and will miss him very much! As with leaving the VA my feelings do tend to lean on the happier side. I am glad that he is going to do something new and different. He is going to go places, see and do things that I will only read about in his emails. It really is a great opportunity for him and I am proud of him. So, I guess my mixed feelings are now clear...happy:)

WSU SAHDA is #1

This weekend was the UDHA annual convention in Park City! Heidi, Melissa, Maria and I spent the night Thursday and Friday at the most dysfuntional hotel ever! Luckily we were still able to laugh all night long! I had a great time with them! They are so cute-I'm all sorts of jealous.

The best part of the weekend was the aromatic event at Redrock. You can get all the details at Maria's blog! I just want to thank the makers of Hanae Mori!!

I had the opportunity to serve as a delegate at the first house of delegates for UDHA. It was definitely an experience. I learned a lot about the politics of things. I also learned that voting happens via holding up a purple piece of cardstock-who knew? I learned that just like in high school elections, popularity does outweigh pure desire to serve. This kind of bugs me. I hope all the people who were elected will do a great job but I have a hard time believing that they will. I am afraid that they are just in it for a free trip. I mean there are such big issues facing the students of dental hygiene schools (and RDHs)right now that I really want to have someone in those positions who are passionate and of the same opinion as myself. I need to give them a chance to prove themselves. Maybe they will surprise me and step it up! I really hope so.

I want to thank all of WSU SADHA members for helping with the fundraiser! You guys are the best! I am so proud to be in this organization and school with you! WSU really is #1...I think my blood just turned purple;)

'I need to get a dime bag from my guy'

I work for a chain pharmacy. This school year I decided to float (I work at various stores depending on who needs help). I love it. I get to make my own schedule--if only I could learn to say no. Anyway one of my friends from Cedar City lives in Taylorsville now and I have been crashing with her so I do not have to travel so far when I work at a store not in Ogden. So the point is...I have been thinking about her and her choice of marrying her man or not. Last night I was driving home listening to a mixed cd from 2004 (thanks again Harry). Eve 6's 'At Least We're Dreaming' came on. I had forgotten how much I love that song. Some of the lyrics really speak to me-such as'I don't even know what I am looking for waiting for someone to come along and find me'. This almost makes me depressed. I really do not think he is ever going to find me. Luckily the song goes on and says, 'at least im breathing at least im alive as long as im dreamin everythings gonna be alright.' Then to end up the song I hear 'im alright, i tell myself twice in the mirror before I cant go to sleep at night.' So I guess as long as I keep dreamin I will be alright!!

I wish my friend the best of luck with her life and her man-who IS great in his own way!

FYI-I really do not need a dime bag for those of you worried about me!
