All of the outlets were being used for one thing or another and 5 seconds after I plugged a blowdryer into the last outlet everything just stopped working. My house is 9-12 years old can anyone help?

Did you check the breakers to see if one is tripped?

Since you mentioned it was a blow dryer you plugged in when it quit working, and assuming you are in a bath room, there may be a GFCI outlet or GFCI protection device on that circuit. If so, you may be able to just reset the GFCI if you have one.
