I have been so busy! I have been a traveling fool lately and loving every minute of it. A month ago I went to Iowa (Des Moines) to visit one of my favorites, then the following weekend went to Atlanta to visit another favorite and then the past two weekends I have been in Orlando with friends and family. My weekends have been filled of laughter, memories, sunshine, Zac Brown Band concert (again), pooltime, and of course ice cold beverages. I am taking advantage of doing things like this while I am not tied down and have the opportunity to do so. I have been really happy and grateful for chances like these and the memories being made.
I'm trying to think of things that are new and exciting with me so I can share with you all..
I attended my first hockey game last week with my neighbors. It was the Tampa Bay Lightning playoff game and it was such a good time!! I have not really been into hockey before but I have been following lately and learning it and really becoming a fan. Plus the single, hot Canadian boy that sat next to me during the game explaining everything to me really helped the situation. "I'll teach you some hockey ay!" Sign me up. Too bad he was just visiting for the week from Canada for this hockey series.
I made 100 beers at World of Beer! 100 different beers! Does that sound like I have a problem? Sounds like more of a good time to me! I am the first girl to get my name on the board of loyalty members. How proud are you mom and dad? Plus I love the bartenders there and of course they enjoy when I am there too. I even have one of the hot ones wearing a Hawkeye hat. Boom
Me and my girlfriends now have a new obsession of learning Nicki Minaj raps. You want a fun challenge? Learn one of her raps. The best was when a couple weeks ago Jess and I were sitting at the bar and Super Bass came on and we rapped the whole thing. Talk about being surrounded by impressed men. It is super fun and challenging. Give it a try! :)
And now my most exciting news that is new with me..I HAVE BRACES! I know, it looks like I had a beautiful smile with perfect teeth, but looks can be deceiving. My gleeming white teeth are what have helped me get by. My top teeth have always been okay, but my bottom teeth are crooked. (my brother received braces when he was young, and obviously I didn't...sore subject. haha) If I wasn't in the dental field and didn't spend everyday in people's mouths, then I probably wouldn't care that much...but I do. So now I am officiallly a braceface at the age of 27 years old. And like I have said, I am probably increasing my odds of being single. I look like a 17 year old that is not sure how to eat or talk. I now have a lisp as saying s is showing to be quite difficult for me, plus I think having no upper lip does not help the situation. (awesome family genes) I was so sore for the first three days. Miserable sore. I barely even talked, which is so unlike me. But now as its been almost a week, it is getting better. I can finally relate to my patients and how they are feeling so I am really happy about that. It is just a huge change for me and something I hope I can get used to! It's still hard to eat some foods and goodbye to corn on the cob this summer! :( We will see how this whole experience goes and hopefully I won't find myself sneaking into the office some weekend and taking them off myself because I can't stand it. So for now, I will try my best to rock the braces!
Today was Oprah's last show ever. I have been glued to her final episodes and honestly I have watched her over the years growing up. Today's episode was my favorite yet. As it was just her..no guests, no surprises, just lessons she has learned. It reminded me of "The Secret" but coming from Oprah's mouth. My favorite thing that she said today and a saying I really want to have stick with me forever because it is so true..
"What is life? What is every flower, every rock, every tree, every human being? Energy. And you're responsible for the energy you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others. Don't wait for somebody else to save you, to complete you, to fix you."
Food for thought as I end this blog.
Until next time....
