Merry Christmas!

This year we went to Parowan, UT for Christmas! It was so fun!

Merry Christmas Janelle

My Mom got us all matching jammies this year!

We got a little crazy

Karaoke stars: Rock on Ben!

Donkey Konga--my Dad was really competitive

Sledding! Dad almost fell off

Dress up Dolls--one of them was a Vegas Show girl--don't worry,

we did talk about modesty

Holidays with the Baughs

Who knew? A chocolate Santa!

The Family: yes, that is my halo.

The kido's

Oh, there are so many comments I could make on Grayson's face!

It's official...I'm getting older

So today I went to the single's ward and there was a boy I used to babysit there. Yeah, that was weird.

Yea for Honest People!

So my dad called me yesterday and he asked me how I was doing? I said I was good. And then he said are you sure? He then began to cry. He told me that a Hispanic woman, with her broken english, called him at work and asked him if he had a daughter that lived in CT. He said that his heart began to race for the fear that something bad had happened to me. But when the lady finally got out that she had found my wallet in the parking lot at the mall. He was relieved and I was relieved. He gave me the number and I called her and went and picked up my wallet at her home. Not to get all sappy, but I really am grateful for kind and honest people.

are there good people in Connecticut?

Today I lost my wallet at the mall. I don't know what happened but it's gone. Sad day. Hopefully it turns up even though I've already canceled all my cards.

this really is a clean blog

I just looked at my last two posts and I sound immature... I'm really not, I promise.

what the?

Today in my Oral Pathology Class we were reviewing for our final exam. The class usually consists of looking at slide after slide of crazy diseases in the oral cavity. I looked down at my paper to highlight something to study and glanced back up at the slide and a picture of the male genitalia was huge on the screen! I guess that oral disease also manifests on the genitals. Probably the funniest part of my day!

i swear i didn't pee my pants!

FYI: if you have something on your pants, don't try to get it out by pouring water on it while driving.

trick or treat?

During our community rotation, we are in charge of putting together a bullentin board. So, I went big! It was during October so we did National Orthodontic Month. This took me back to the Student Council decorating days..

Call me Dr. Baugh

A couple weeks ago we learned how to place sutures...on hot dogs! It was so much fun! Unfortunately, I can never do this on a patient but I think I did a pretty good job. It's just like sewing!

Firefox

I love the browser Firefox and I just wanted everyone to know that. Especially the new Cooliris application. Check it out

i got bit

So I went back to the store, Steve and Barry's, and tried out the Bitten line again and I liked it again. So moral of the story, I like the line now. Come on, let's be honest. A nice(semi-nice), heavy, stylish coat for $19.98? How can you argue with that! I suggest to anyone that they should fly out to the east coast and check it out...and see me!

yams and sweet potatoes

what's the difference?

10am-3pm

Yesterday I saw a patient who was a refugee from Burma, who spoke no English and has never been to a dentist before. In his culture they chew on this beetle nut which in turn wears down their teeth tremendously as well as covers every surface with a nice black stain. (pictures to come!) I spent 5 hours cleaning his teeth with no lunch break and a few times to take a breathe of fresh air! And I didn't even finish! About 15 of us have these refugees and it is so amazing to look around our clinic and really feel like we are making a difference to these people.

bitten

Tonight I went to the store that has the sarah jessica parker clothing line, bitten. They had some good deals on clothes but not that much variety. All the advertisements made it look cuter than it was. Maybe all the good stuff was picked over. Oh well, still I love a good deal.

happy nevada day!

I always thought nevada had the coolest state birthday

i gave in...

I hope Abby and Kate are happy...
