Identity Crisis

This is what my car is supposed to look like (pictured above).
My car is very confused right now... Apparently my loyalties are split. No seriously, I'm a Utah Girl, but this is what happens when you live in the same neighborhood as a whole bunch of BYU hoodlums! Actually this is some payback for putting Utah stickers on a friend's car. I didn't even notice this sticker until I was driving somewhere. Also, I'm too lazy to scrape it off - plus I think it's funny. So I'll probably just leave it until I get around to doing something about it!

25 Birthdays

Yesterday was my birthday, and it was pretty much awesome! Even though I had clinic and class all day, my awesome dental school buddies made it a pretty good day.

That night we went out for sushi at Hiro. That is one of the things I love about Omaha - they have pretty good sushi! (However, compared to what is available in Cedar, almost anywhere would have better. Haha.)

Ever since freshman year of college, I have loved sushi. It's my very favorite "snob" food. I was so excited they took me for sushi!!

Dave, Armando, Diana, and Fatima with our "boat" of sushi! Yes, we ordered so much sushi that it required a boat.

Fatima, Brandon, and Anne.

Me and Kaiyra. Yes, I received some birthday balloons. And yes, one has Elmo on it!

Thanks for the awesome birthday dinner!!!!

Danger under the water

For some reason I keep injuring myself. Also, it's a little sad that I don't have much else to talk about on my blog other than my random injuries! Ha ha. Anyways, apparently it is birthday season because last week two of my friends had birthdays the same day. A big group of us from the dental school celebrated Qi Qi's birthday on Wednesday by going out to Lake Manawa in Iowa. A friend had two jet skis, so we had a blast zipping around on the brown water of Manawa. I did take the opportunity to toss my friend Armando off the jet ski... poor guy. However, he did almost toss me off when it was his turn to drive! I like his style, ha ha.

However, when we were coming back into shore I was going shoe-less on account of the thick black mud that acts like quicksand. That's when my foot encountered a broken beer bottle under the water... Ouch! It actually wasn't too bad of an injury, but I had a bunch of mini-dentists trying to help me (including myself)! Luckily I can still walk fine, but if you see me limping, now you know why!

Evil wildlife

I walk out my door this morning to find this:

I used to have a bunch of beautiful, multi-colored flowers planted in this box. I was so totally confused, because I couldn't figure out what had happened to them! I was trying to decide if it was incredibly windy, or if a hail storm had destroyed them during the night. Then I looked down to discover these:
Stupid deer!! Seriously, why the heck are the deer eating my flowers? I have decided that the wildlife around here is pure evil. What with the black squirrels, and the raccoons that hide in the dumpsters to terrify me. Honestly, can you buy deer repellant for your plants?!
