Boots!

Okay, for those of you who saw me this Sunday, you were probably curious as to my somewhat unusual footwear. Yes, I totally wore these sweet boots to church this Sunday. And I am the ward chorister, so I had to walk up to the front of the church - more than once - in them. (Don't worry, they are surprisingly comfortable, and this story doesn't involve falling!) Well these are actually my Halloween boots, and in an effort to get more use out of them, I am attempting to wear them in every-day situations. Ha ha, just kidding. I actually had a friend dare me to wear them to church if she wore her fake Halloween eyelashes. So that is why. It was actually super fun, and I freakin' like them. Too bad I feel somewhat hookerish in them, and I am taller than almost everybody (including the boys). However, I could get used to being able to reach the top shelf with those extra four inches! Whatever, at least I didn't wear this:

This was my Halloween costume. I haven't uploaded my other pictures yet. I'll get to that someday!

Weekly Ashley-isms

Here are some of the stupid things I have said both out loud and silently to myself this past week. Thought I would share!

• I just flossed the crap out of my teeth. I hate it when that happens!
• I wish they had Rockstar-flavored Coke. That would be awesome.
• I noticed you had a piece of food stuck in there. Maybe that is causing the sensitivity.
• What a weird shirt. I need to try it on! (Then I ended up buying it...)
• I miss Halloween...
• Why do I have so much energy? Oh yeah, I just drank a Rockstar...
• Hurry, turn off all the lights so no one will come to my house! (I ran out of candy on Halloween.)
• I don't remember his name. Something with "D". Can you be more specific? That's all the D names I have. - Jan Oh nevermind, I'll go look up his name. (I wasn't even close)

Thriller!

In honor of Halloween, here is Michael Jackson's Thriller. I love it, and I love it even more when people learn this dance and dress up like zombies. My favorite is that my mom used to teach dance lessons, and she said that she actually learned this dance and taught it to her students once. Isn't that the best thing you have ever heard? Someday I might learn the dance!



Next time any of you get a chance to see my mom, ask her to dance the Thriller for you!

Halloween!!!!

Okay, so I got way excited about Halloween this year. Actually I do every year, but who's counting, right? This year I am going to be a pirate, and I think that I will be a pretty awesome pirate. I actually just pulled most of my costume together, and of course I had to try it on. I didn't dare post it on facebook, though, because that will ruin the surprise (I don't think very many people have discovered my blog yet)! Okay, here it is. This is what I would look like if I had long black dreads!


Obviously you can't hardly see the whole costume, mostly because I'm not wearing it. I will get better pictures when Halloween actually happens! Until then, get EXCITED!!!

This was just for fun!

Heart attack grill

Okay, so my friend told me about this place, and she was very upset about it. I checked it out, and I too became very angry. I mean, honestly, why? The guy that runs this place is just insulting, especially to someone who is in the medical profession. Seriously! He runs around in a lab coat with a stethoscope, and hires glorified strippers to serve incredibly unhealthy food. There is something seriously wrong when a place can actually advertise that people that weigh over 350 lb can eat for free.

On another note, I actually went to a pretty good burger place this weekend, Five Guy's Burgers. It was delicious, but they definitely give you an overabundance of fries. If you go there, share your fries with someone!

Raccoons!

Okay guys, so here at Village Green where I live we get all kinds of wild-life. That includes squirrels, birds, the occasional frog on my doorstep, skunks, deer, turkey, and raccoons! According to the VG newsletter, they have caught over 20 skunks around here. I believe them because I've seen a couple of them wandering around the neighborhood, and was also startled one morning by one caught in a trap.

However, last night I had a somewhat unfortunate encounter. I finally decided to take out my trash when I got home last night around 10:00. When I lifted the lid I bumped into a raccoon hiding in the bottom of the dumpster! Well I tossed my bags in and ran away, terrified that it would take vengeance for having it's evening scavenge interrupted. I turned around to see one take off into the bushes, and another one crawling out of the dumpster! It scared the crap out of me. Man, those things are huge - they are like really fat cats, or medium-sized dogs. I bet they could do some damage if they decided to attack me! Anyways, I thought it was hilarious, and I bet if anyone was watching they probably thought I was crazy.

PS - this picture isn't my dumpster. The raccoons ran away too fast for me to get a picture!

This is the story of GI!

I was attempting to clean out my iTunes and I came across my old pod-casts from 1st year of dental school/medical school. (We only got pod-casts from classes we took with the med students.) We had this awesome anatomy professor who not only would teach us, but would write these awesome songs about anatomy! It was the oddest thing after sitting in lecture for an hour to see the instructor suddenly run over and pull out a guitar and bust out a song. It was awesome! Yeah, this file is huge, and I have no idea how to edit it. Sorry! Skip to like the last 5 minutes to hear the song - unless you are a nerd like me and you actually want to hear the whole lecture!

This made me feel oddly nostalgic. I certainly wouldn't want to go back (Freshman year totally sucked) but I admit I had some good times!

Okay, I lied, the file won't load on here. I will keep trying later!
