Scary!

I was working at the Plastic surgery office yesterday when I saw the most horrific and graphic thing I have ever seen! Over the weekend one of Dr.Davis' friends called asking him to meet them at the hospital. They were in desperate need of emergency surgery and only trusted him so he rushed right over to see how he could help. Well this family had a lovable family dog which happened to be a pittbull. They never had any othe problems before but with their instincts sometimes accidents happen. Well for no reason what so ever the dog attacked the mother and bit her entire lip off. It was not pretty at all, im still gettin queasy just thinking about the pictures I saw. Luckily Dr. Davis is absolutely amazing he actually had to make her a new lip to sew on her and it came out amazing. I wish you could see the transformation he did, there is scarring but we have plenty of things that can heal most of it, but it will take awhile! The really hard part for the family was that they had to put the dog down bc what if it was one of their kids he had attacked. Accidents happen, and pittbulls aren't always known as the nicest dogs even if you do train them to be friendly! So next time anyone is thinking about a big dog such as a pittbull or doberman etc. please keep this ladies story in mind! You don't want to see what I saw at the office yesterday!! (shudders) and please pray for the family the mom who prolly is in some pain right now, and for the kids who just lost their best friend!

loving on the kids lol

For some odd reason I have always been really good with kids!! Now I have over a hundred kids so I have to be good with kids lol I really don't have a choice. Well the other day as I walk into the studio there was a baby that saw me so of course i was smiling, waving, talking to her, and then she reached for me to pick her up. Now keep in mind I don't know this baby or the mother b/c it was one of kim's students moms but she didnt mind at all. Then one of my students mothers goes, "damn ali you really have the magic touch with kids. What is it that you do?" Then all the other moms started to agree with her it felt nice to hear that im doing a good job and that they all trust me with their kids even if they don't know me. lol well the secret is everyone.... that I just honeslty love and enjoy kids and I love to make them happy, so thats what I do, and apparently it works. Now one of my fellow co dance teachers just had her baby boy a couple days ago, and he is absolutely adorable, im already in love. I can't wait to watch him grow up, he is gonna be such a cutie. I'm so excited for Becca she totally deserves the happiness of motherhood. She and her husband work so hard for everything they have, they never mooch and the house they just bought is soo darling. Its so perfect for the new family of 3. Im going to visit in the next couple days and will have pics to post up!! I can't wait

CONGRATULATIONS JENNA ON THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BABY I HAVE EVER SEEN!! HE'S SUCH A HANDSOME BOY!!!!

Job Perks Rock!!!

What would a job be if there weren't any perks? I mean Jon's job is helping him learn more about cars by actually working on them...experience is definitely the best way too learn, not to mention the 20% off discount he gets on anything in the store, I dunno about you guys but I love buying stuff for cheaper than it actually is hah. My dance job I get soo many of the wonderful perks as normal teachers get... teaching a little one self discipline, confidence, how to dance, seeing their faces light up when they finally get a new step, just knowing that your a huge part of their life is wonderful. Also the completely free dance lessons don't exactly hurt either :-). My magician job's perks involve traveling and seeing new things I've never seen before for instance I would have never seen the balloon festival if it weren't for my job. It was def. a cool experience and staying in nice hotels for free is also kind of fun... like a mini vacation with my friend Andrea who is also an assistant with me. My third job's perks are also pretty cool and actually brings me to my reason for this post. Every year at the plastic surgery office we get drug reps who come in with brand new products that aren't on the market yet, but have just been approved by the fda. They give the entire staff samples, and we decide that if they work really well than we will sell their product. Well last year it was the clarisonic brush, it was actually on oprah's favorite things list last year. Its one of those extremely expensive high tech face washers that works awesome. I love it, it takes off the heaviest amount of make up (when i perform i have to overdue the makeup and look close to a clown lol)and deep cleans better than anything out there. The year before that it was the zapper. Its for if you have pimple you put the zapper on it for a couple of minutes and by the end of the day your zit will be gone. It's the only thing out on the market that can make acne go away in the same day its pretty cool considering I used to have acne problems. Well Yesterday at work I found out what this years product is, and Im really excited about trying it. It's called Latisse and what it does is make your eyelashes grow. It's this serum that you put on like eyeliner on your lashes before you goto bed, and apparently in a couple of weeks my lashes are supposed to grow double in size and become fuller and longer. I really hope it works, but we will find out soon enough. I get the product in a couple of weeks so its just wait time til then. I know these are all silly things, but its the silly simple things like small job perks that make me happy. They just remind me on why I work so hard. I feel like in life that if you work hard enough, you'll see results, and be rewarded for them. lol well....... at least thats what i would like to believe :-)

Super Bowl!!!

Woot Woot I love Superbowl time!!!! My family as usual threw a huge party with tons of friends and food. We had an amazing time! We also had another block pool which is always tons of fun, although this year Jon and I did not win like last year, but thats okay we can't win everytime lol. My parents of course made wayyy tooo much of the most amazing foods, they make the best home made food in the world, I may be a lil biased.....but all of my friends were raving about the food so im still very confident in saying so. Spending the day with people who care about you is such a great way to end the weekend. Im so glad I have a loving family with no crap drama. Im so thankful that they're the least selfish people I have ever met, yet they have the most fun out of any older people I know. Now im just bragging here for having awesome parents b/c when I was younger I didn't realize how good I had it. I thought they were unfair and was not exactly the perfect child... so to make up for all that lost time I like to tell everyone just how wonderful they are. Soooo thanks to the Dukes... ya know the ones that always made sure I had clothes, food, shelter, dance lessons, etc. :-)Goodnight
