today...

I got to assist in an oral surgery!!! I got to help the dr as he pulled what was left of a lady's teeth. There were lots of roots to pull as well. It was awesome! Although, I will never look at candy corn the same again...

first day (again?)

Today is my first day of "community service" as my brother puts it. Fun in the "denture factory" as I like to call it. Not really gaining any time back in my day, however, the time gained from my commute will now be put to use working for free! Let the countdown begin! 320 to go!

eeeeewwwww, get me the lysol, the cat left

oh, wait, that's not the poo I thought it was, just a lego ladies hair! (How close do you think I was to tell that?)

last day!!

Today is my last day of actual school (for now)!!!!! Monday begins the first 185 of 320 hours of FREE labor at an office. I got placed in a denture office. I shudder every time I say it. Oh well, it's only approx 5 weeks...

Oh, and there was fabulousness in my yard yesterday evening... hopefully will get time to detail it...

Miss Fix-it

On the tail of the successful (yet embarassing) cup removal from the garbage disposal, I decided to take on the bathroom sink. It has had a drip for some time, that has gotten increasingly worse. I took off the aerator (sp?) and took that washer into the hardware store. They told me that was not going to solve the leak, and asked what type of faucet I had. I replied the ugly ones that came with the house, they laughed, and showed me where I might find what I need. I saw some replacement parts on the aisle that sparked my memory and I was able to tell them the brand. They got me the right parts and made me keep the receipt in case it didn't work, making sure to tell me to turn off the water to the sink before I started. Got it done in no time, only to turn the water back on to the house (there isn't a shut-off under my sink like there is the toilet, a future to-do), the sink was running non-stop. So, I took it apart again, put it back together, and it worked! I think I was unsuccessful the first time cause I wasn't showing any crack (a first, especially at home!). Tomorrow is the other bathroom, and then more supplies for the kitchen! Like my bathroom theory, it is best to change all at once!

random thoughts

The crowd at a daytime demolition derby is a different crowd than at night. Not as many of the Joe Dirt/Kid Rock combos going on. The pre-show people watching just isn't there!



I think I may have an addiction. To mascara. After 10 coats I still have yet to acheive the Tammy-Faye look. So now it is a challenge to see how many it takes.



I have 9 more days of actual school left. Then I will get back close to 2 hours of drive-time!



The boy has taken the challenge of eating as much cereal as I can buy. He is going through almost a box a day. Maybe I can talk him into a review.



The girl is still torturing the cat. After accusing everyone of messing up her doll bed, she sees the cat sleeping in it. Does he get yelled at? No! She acts like it was her plan all along!

Lastest (big) drama

Became a missionary opprotunity for my lawyer and the local police department! I got to explain how wards are set up, boundary wise, and how my (mormon) church isn't the one the kids dad would go to if he decided to want to find God. And how I consider it harassment to pop-in on my weekend with the kids, and sit behind me, and try and talk to me while I'm trying to listen to the Stake President talk! Things the kids dad already knows! Maybe he forgot...
