My Weekend Walmart Encounter

OMG I know most of you have seen the People of Walmart website or heard of Wal-martians.  Well I had a Walmart experience that was both hilarious and out there.   Anywhoo...  I was in checkout #17 which happens to be right in front of the restrooms. There is one older lady in the line in front of me and it's taking just a little longer to check her out.  No biggie.  A young man about 18 or 19 comes up behind me with a cart with just a few items in it and says to me and cashier "I'll be right back I'm just gonna run to restroom real fast."  No problem, she's still checking the old lady and no one else in in our line.  

So a minute or 2 later the young guy comes back to his cart of items, the cashier has just started checking my stuff out and he says to me "I don't know what was going on in there in the stall beside me but there was 2 guys in it and some strange noises."  I was like "oh really".  Just about then another young guy about 18 or 19 comes out of the restroom and guy with cart says to him "hey man, are you alright"  Guy #2 says "Yea, I'm good but my D8@# hurts." (you fill in the blank).  I busted up laughing Cart Guy says "well I wasn't expecting that response."  The poor cashier was so upset and distraught about the exchange of conversation that she was trying to call security to get guy #2 thrown out of the store but honestly he had already taken off.  I just wanted my items rung up but Ms Cashier was too frustrated and on the phone to ring them up and I was about to get over the whole situation.  

Finally some other cashiers came over to her rescue and took over for her so she could gather herself.  I finally get my items rang up and I'm outta there as fast as my little legs could carry me.  The things you see & hear nowadays.... LOL! 

Well, that's just what I needed...

Well, that's just what I needed...

Krazy Katie

Came home from work today and the first thing I do after I enter the house is take our our 2 dogs, Kassie & Katie.  Katie usually goes out first cuz she meets me at the door while Kassie is laid up in the back bedroom :-)  So I put the leash on Katie and we go out and instead of her usual quick pee she decides to take off down the hill with me.  As I'm running and screaming at her just just ignores me like I'm not even there and I think she's gonna get away from me. I have NO idea what the heck she is chasing after because there is NOTHING around us at all.  I'm yelling "STOP KATIE STOP"!!! My neighbors probably thought I was a crazy woman if they heard me. LOL  But she keeps on going and finally about after 30 feet of dragging me I just sit down in the mud because otherwise she's just gonna have me heading and pitching down the hill.  Sitting down is the only way I can stop this train wreck but she keeps going and now my scrubs are all muddy, my favorite Keens are muddy, I've be bumped and contorted into a pretzel, my left elbow is skinned up, my left hip slammed to into the ground and my right ankle & shin skinned.  Ugh!  What the heck was she thinking.  She's only done this to me one other time about  4 years ago.  She's a strong mutt I'll give her that.  Maybe I should hook her up to a dog sled. LOL  I'm getting ready to go on vacation in 10 days and I sure don't want to have to go in a wheelchair.  I've got big plans for this vacation...hehehe  Anyway I was really ticked off at her afterward and she just looks at me like "what mom...I didn't do anything" and gives me that big dopey look she has.  She totally doesn't get that I'm mad at her behavior.  Kassie on the other hand knows and curls up in the corner away from me thinking "I'm steering clear of mom she's sure is mad about something."  I already feel the soreness settling in my joints.  UGH Aleve here I come LOL  But I can't stay mad at a face like that now can I ...hehehe 

Until next time....

Keep Smiling... Sherri :)

What a Day!

Well...I'm off from work for 9 big days!!! Whoooooohoooo!!!  So today I went to help my mom do some finishing touches on her kitchen remodel.  Well...it was a slow start to say the least. Can't find this...where is that...you know the drill.... oh yeah where is the drill by the way...LOL  Anyway finished putting knobs on the drawers, the carpet cleaners finally made it over and carpets look pretty good now :-)  Just as the carpet cleaners were leaving the water meter man knocks on the door and tell us that the meter is running a mile a minute and there is a serious leak somewhere and there had been over 27,000 gallons of water used since the last reading... WHAT THE HECK!!!  OMG that's enough water for a 20' x 40' in ground swimming pool!!  There NO water standing anywhere around the house other than a small puddle in the driveway.  My uncle looked under the house and NO water leaking anywhere.  So where is this water coming from and going too. Not to mention the fact that it has rained most everyday for the last 2 weeks and even with that there was no water standing.  I don't get it.  So we had to start calling plumbers which there was not one in our town that was available.  What does everyone have a plugged up toilet or something in this town???!!!  So then we went out to my mom's other house to get the insurance policy that came with the house when she bought it but of course they don't cover if it's something from the house to the meter UGH.  Well..then it's lunch time so we run to McDonald's down the road and were just gonna get Happy meals cuz they are easy. We got 3 Happy meals and it was over $12 freaking bucks.. What the heck! And little did we know that you only get 5 fries with a Happy meal now.  When my mom opened the box on our way out of the drive thru and saw that she blew her stack and said "Go Back...I'm not paying almost $13 for this". So I pull up to the front and she snatches up the 3 Happy meals and the teaspoon of coke they gave us and marches right in and lets them know she's not being ripped off.  LOL I wish I had filmed it cuz she was so funny snatching up the stuff and getting out of my little 2 seater car.  I started rolling laughing.  OMG we laughed all afternoon about that incident.  Thanks mom for making my day :-)  We did however finally finish the trim on the cabinets.  But still don't know where the water is going or coming from...it's a mystery that has yet to be solved. 

Oh how I love the weekends :-)

That's how I felt today... hehehe Although Friday at the office didn't turn out as bad as I thought it was gonna be. All in all a good day.  All the patients showed up which is great. I turned an emergency patient into a new patient with my wit and charm plus I actually got to wolf down some easy mac & cheese around lunch time between patients.  Don't get me wrong most days I love what I do and my patients. Most of them are really good folks but dental hygiene is really hard on the old back and neck for us RDHs.  How any hygienists works 40+ hours a week I'll never know.  I can barely do the 30-32 that I'm scheduled.   

Anywhoooo... after a long week it's finally 3pm Friday and I decided to go tan. Yes, I know, I know it's really bad for ya but I just hate looking all pale and trust me I'm not addicted to it like "tan mom"  I may go 1 or 2 times a week if I'm lucky.  Then home to take my pups out and wait for the hubs to get home from work.  Then we're out for date night for our pizza at Antonio's.  They know us when we come in cuz we are there most every Friday and the seasoned waitresses know our order too... 2 diet cokes, 1 side salad no dressing and a medium cheese pizza crispy.  Well, tonight our waitress got the size of the pizza wrong but no worries, we didn't gripe her out we just ate and and teased her how she saved us some calories.  It's all good :-)

Tomorrow's movie --- World War Z with Brad Pitt  
Never was much of a Brad Pitt fan but I like a good zombie movie so I'll get it a whirl...hehehehe

Is the weekend here yet?

I really hate to wish the week away but OMG this has been a doozy of a work week and I still have one more day to go!  Saturday can't get here fast enough for me.  I can't wait to be sitting next to my honey at the theater enjoying our nacho and cheese together and watching World War Z.  That's our thing on Saturday...movies, nachos, cheese, popcorn coke zero and a tootsie pop LOL.  Then it's off to Wally's for groceries and such.  I know it sounds boring but it's how we roll on the weekend.

Today's Blog

Well, today mom had her big sale but unfortunately so did everyone else in town. We had a few rushing of customers but nothing liked we had hoped :(
I think mom did ok for a days work but you couldn't notice anything much missing from all the stuff she needs to eliminate before the move.  She bid on a house and I hope she gets this one because I think it's a really good deal. Now it's just the wait and see phase.  

I don't understand people when they come to yard sales.  I have a ton of practically new books and was asking hardly anything for them and no one would even bite but they will go to the local used book store and by 2 or 3 times what I was asking for the same stupid books.  I don't get that at all.  Same thing with games/gaming systems they'll go buy a used one at these same places and pay 2x what I was asking for a lot less and it's usually be abused to death. Mine are in nearly new condition with original boxes UGH Anywhoooo... seems I can't sell crap LOL 

Until tomorrow... Have a great night

My Pup Kassie

Kassie 10-12 Weeks Old

My pup Kassie has some real issues...LOL  We rescued her from one of the local shelters, McKamey Animal Center,  almost 11 years ago. She was a tiny little thing that stole our hearts with 4 white paws and tail tipped in white too. Playful and bouncy and a fast learner too.  We had her house trained in a few weeks.  She learned to stay in the hall bathroom while we were working and wasn't too destructive, unlike her adopted sister Katie. I'll get to her later. Kassie will be 11 this September and while she's a great dog, never messes in the house, never chews up stuff & such, she's got issues.  She can be a bit finicky about her treats.

Kassie's Favorite Position

She will not let you trim her nails and giving her any type of medication is a real ordeal. Changing her flea collar too can be a chore. She just doesn't like to be bothered.   Then their is the "cha ching" issue, yes, cha ching.  If she hears the sound of a cash register she absolutely just is scared and runs to you in a shaking fit. Shivering like you wouldn't believe.  I don't know why she does this but we have a commercial from a local business that uses this sound effect and if I don't mute the TV she has her little fit.  We noticed it when my husband would do his check book on the computer. Every time he made an entry there was the "chi ching" sound effect and Kassie would just go in to this shivering fit. Darnest thing I've ever seen... LOL  

Kassie Rolling

She also doesn't like when my husband works in his daily planner or he works in the kitchen. Not sure where those issues come from but she's run in the laundry room and hide by the back door...hehehe Craziest thing I've ever seen. Kassie loves to roll on her back and her favorite treats are green peppers, vanilla ice cream, & Dingo bones.

I'm Just A Lazy Pup

One of Kassie's Favorite Spots

This is Kassie now. A lazy spoiled rotten lab mixed cuddle bug. 

Woohoo it's Friday!

It's Friday, it's Friday!  Can you tell I'm happy cuz it's the weekend ;)  Today was my Friday to work and it was an uneventful day at the office, no mishaps and every patient showed up WOOOHOO!  In dentistry you always do the happy dance when all your scheduled patients showed up and your schedule is full but not OVER full.  

After work I went and tanned.  Yes, I know it's not good for ya but I don't over do it.  I'm not addicted to it or anything like that I just have no where outside at home to layout plus I just don't have the time.  I just want a healthy glow so don't condem me.  Then home to take out my baby girls and wait on the hubs to get home from work.  It's pizza night for the Bushes then the mall & Target. That's our Friday routine. Boring I know, but it suits us and I like it.  I did a little Vegas #RDHUOR shopping and found pair of creamsicle pants & a cute JLo top at Kohls. 


I think later me and the hubby will start a movie - Number Station with John Cusack.  Looks like it might be an interesting movie. A former black ops agent and the young woman he's assigned to protect fight for survival after a surprise attack.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I Need a Freaking Vacation!

Ok, all in all it was a good day when you really think about it but for some reason I'm worn out  I think it's because my last patient just frustrated the crap out of me.  Not because he was a jerk or anything but because HELLO use a freaking toothbrush.  I could get graphic about it but I'll just leave it to your imaginations.

We also had a communication barrier which made it almost impossible to get the point across.  That didn't help much. Tried to explain that he had bad teeth that needed addressed but all he wanted was something to numb the pain.  Tried to tell him that I can numb it up for ya but it's just gonna become un-numb in about an hour and start hurting again.  I had the doctor talk to him but still this guy just didn't get the fact that he had diseased teeth that needed attention. 

Then my poor niece's car get wrecked by her BF rear ending someone.  And while I know she's upset (I would be too) they are both ok, no one was hurt except the vehicles.  So in the grand scheme of things it's all good. Not sure how she's going to replace her wheels though :/  

My poor mom is dealing with selling her house and consolidating her belongings and my g'ma's. Which is a big under taking because my g'ma is so stubborn that she thinks she shouldn't have to give up anything.  My mom says she it learning from this experience and will try to not do the same thing to me when she is 94.  Thanks mom :)

Anyway...I'm pooped and I'm going to bed.. THANK GOD TOMORROW IS FRIDAY is all I can say :) 

Hump Day!

Well, it's hump day and I busted my hump at the office today but it's all good :-)   Busy day at the office again for me which is great.  I like busy but not so busy I can't take a potty break ;)  Pretty uneventful on my side of the office. Had a group of great patients today. We talked and laughed all day.  

My boss's birthday is this weekend and boy do we have a gag gift for him this time...LOL  Good thing he has a sense of humor.  Well, how shall I put this...a "strange" person told him that he should have gotten his dental degree from Wal-Mart. There is more to that story but I'll leave it at that for right now.  So anyway we took that incident and ran with it.  I made up a certificate that states University of Wal-Mart School of Dentistry on it with my docs name on it etc. and then found a Dentistry for Dummies book cover printed them out.  Then pasted the cover on to an old "dummies" book my hubby had and tada! Gag gift of the year...hehehe I can't wait to see his face!!  It's gonna be classic!!  Hope he comes to work in a good mood tomorrow...LOL 

I'll let ya know how it turns out ;) 

It's Tuesday but I Call It My Monday :/

Well, today was my Monday at the office.  Started off with our monthly office meeting which all in all went pretty good as far as office meetings go.  I really have to say my office is a pretty good place to work most days. The dentists are accommodating and let us dental hygienists use our brains that the good Lord gave us.  I work with 2 dentists and I've been at this office for nearly 16 years now.  I had a full schedule and all the patients showed up YEAHHHH. I have some really great patients that are like my extended family especially the kids that I've watch grow into young men and women who are now going off to or graduating from college.  Since I don't have any children of my own they are like my kids and many of them tell me "you sound just like my mom" when I try to give them advice :-)  I have laughed, cried and sent out too many sympathy cards over the years.  Dental hygiene has been good to me over the last 20 years and I hope to continue giving good care to the folks in my community. 

Oh... and I found out today that you can get your dental degree from Wal-Mart LOL... That's a story for another day....hehehehe 

Today Was a Good Day

Today was a good day :-)

Nothing much too exciting happened.  Didn't have to work, that's always a plus, woke up at 8:15 laid around until 9ish then decided time to get up. Ate my usual yogurt breakfast then coffee #1.  My 2 lazy dogs didn't even greet me when I walked into the kitchen.  I never seen too lazier pups..LOL.  Watched a little TV, well, actually a lot of TV...hehehe.  Drank coffee #2.  Lunch time!

  a bowl of steamed broccoli and sweet tea for this southern girl while sitting on the porch watching Rachel Ray and the Talk with my girls.  Then chatted with my mom on the phone and decided to run to Wal-Mart for a few things for supper and just some general crap.  I always spend too much when I go there. :/  


Got back from my shopping trip to find a small box at my back door and in it was the American Eagle XP instrument that I won for being #460 to like the Career Fusion Facebook page.  Gotta love contests!  Thank AE!!! Love XP instruments and if you're an RDH and haven't tried them yet, you just don't know what you're missing, buy some NOW!

Then I started dinner which was parmesan penna pasta with chicken.  It was oooooohhh so yummy too.  Had enough left over for lunch tomorrow too.  

Now it's time to do some working out, about 30 minutes worth which will consist of hula hooping, weights and stuff.  Then more TV!!!  Catch ya later!

Welcome

Well, I'm gonna give this blogging stuff a go.  Not too sure what I'll write about but since am a dental hygienist I suppose it'll most likely have to do with teeth and gums and crap like that most of the time. So bare with me while I cut my teeth (sorry about the pun) in the blogging word.
