Dinosaur Round-up

Happy Dinosaur Round up Days! Vernal sports a three day rodeo starting July 12. The powers that be once again decorated ole Rex for the occasion. 

I have been working for Dr Turnbow in Duchesne one day a week. It is going very well. They keep asking me back and keep paying me as I leave. Right now Dr T is doing 1-2 days a week in his old office in Monticello. His Duchesne office was built with 4 opertories. Only 2 have chairs. His other 2 chairs are in Monticello. I anticipate that in a month Dr T will move his 2 chairs and I will be a permanent addition to the office staff. I would really like that. The hour commute is long but I have really enjoyed it lately due to the Vernal library's audio book selection! 

My only moments of uncomfortable-ness is when we have morning huddle and pray. I have been trying to decide if I like the morning prayer or not. There is nothing wrong with it; so why do I feel uncomfortable about it? Maybe it is my years and years of working with out morning meeting prayers. I know many dentists in Utah pray before they start their work day I have always found this to be odd. I think prayers should be offered in private. Maybe the public display of religion make me uncomfortable and I am ashamed of that. I am proud of my religion. I find great peace and personal reward living my life according to the teachings of the LDS church. I have been conditioned to keep religion out of many aspects of my life and that is not right. Anyone should be able to bring aspects of their religious practices in to all parts of life. I will embrace this practice of Dr T and take from it the most I can. 

Long hair is so easy to braid and pull back for working as a dental hygienist. My hair has gotten so long. I now work less days than I am off and I am tired of doing my hair. It is hot, the air is dry, the wind blows and making general hate of my hair. 

My hair is the longest it has ever been in my life. It is pretty boring.

I cut it off today.

I did not think about donating it and I should have. Looking at the pictures I cut a lot of my hair off. I know my hair is thin and dry and boring but it was healthy. I feel bad that I did not think about donating it until I saw the pictures and saw how much hair I did cut off. 

First of all I want to say how great the spots on my mirror are-sheesh. Next my hair looks flat and sad. When the girl styled my hair it was big and looked great. Then I got into my black car and melted. It was so hot inside my car-as always. I need to go buy a blow dryer today and some hair product. It has been a very long time since I have had to do my hair. . . but it is cooler and lighter and Scott loves it! I warned him I was cutting my hair off and he said 'whatever you have to do'. I know he prefers long hair so I was nervous for him to see my drastic move.  I was surprised when all night he kept complimenting me. Even this morning with bed head he made me feel sexy and attractive by telling me 'Mmmm that hair cut looks great on you,' and then kissing me and telling me to go buy a blow dryer. 

Scott does spoil me. He needs new boots for work and wont get them because they are quite pricey. Yet he lets me get whatever I want. I am so thankful he is so generous to me. I need to find a way to pick out a pair of work boots and hope they are the right fit and comfy and good for work. . .
