Im so bored. Bored bored bored bored bored! Kyle's been gone all day. First he had his last day installing hardwood floors. Then came home for an hour and left to work at Amrikkos. I've been home alone and havent left the house once, and have no reason to. Thats weird. I dont know how many times Ive stayed in the house ALL day. It is not fun. Twins think I have cabin fever all the time? Let them see me now. I even talk to myself sometimes. Kyle tried to convince me to call up other couples and find out what they were doing for date night to see if I could tag along. No siree bub. I didnt want to wreck someone else's date night just because mine's wrecked. So here I am. I need someone to come and rescue me from the craziness that my mind cant avoid when being alone so much. I mean, I have talked to David Russell on two different occasions today. What does that say?
What is one to do, when stuck in a shoe
wearing lots of glue
and fighting cabin flu
What goes on at home, when Sarah's all alone
no one on the phone
and freakishly un-owned
Who is there to stop her, from sliding of her rocker
find a place to lock her
or youre in for a shocker
Now imagine me doing a really geeky dance to the geeky rythmn of this horrible poem and you might get the full picture.

Right now Im at Mom and Dad's house. Doing the laundry. I feel glum. I did my practical exam. Yikes. I was nervous and it got the better of me. I didnt do that badly, mainly all A-'s two A's and a B+. Not a lot I can complain about really, but I didnt do as well and I know I can and that bothers me. Moms cooking something yummy with barbeque salmon and feta cheese. Smells good. I cant type right now. I keep pressing the wrong buttons. Its bugging me. I wore my hair up today, something that I dont do often and it hurts. You know how when you rarely wear your hair up and then you wear it tight it hurts? Well thats what Im experiencing right now. I know why Im bothered by my marks, its because I want to be perfect. (I keep jumping from topic to topic) Im so hard on myself and I dont know how to not be. Kyle told me it doesnt even matter, if I get straight As or Cs, once I graduate no one looking to hire me will even know or care. That seems kind of like a rip off to me, for those who do well enough for some recognition. Rainy days are here. I dont mind particularly unless it wrecks soccer tonight. I was excited to be able to use my rainbow umbrella today. Why am I so easily amused by simple things? I watched Laws of Attraction today and yesterday (we stopped it last night because Kyle was tired). It was good. I really enjoyed Pierce Brosmans character and I feel that the twins would as well. Its a good one. A little corny at times but fun. I told Kyle that if he didnt take care of his hair, that Im cutting it. Earlier he had told me that it was my decision when it would get cut. Yesterday it just looked so not done that I was like Im cutting your hair tomorrow. And he was regretful of that so I had to soften up a little and tell him that if he didnt take care of it I would cut it. I fell like a mother, saying things like that. And to a boy! Hopefully it'll start looking normal. I dont want a husband that looks like a grandpa who cant do his wispy thinning hair. Know what I mean?

dumb-dumb
So I just realized that the entry I THOUGHT was erased actually got published and then I wrote another one the next day saying it got erased and repeated a lot of the stuff. How dumb do I feel? Let me explain that when I went to publish it it took forever and then nothing happened, like the page that shows up and says that its been published never came, and then what DID show up was the part that you write in only it was blank as if it had never been written in before. So Im not entirely dumb, but I DID assume. Apologies.

Woah. Just ran home from the bus stop thats right around the corner from our house and now Im thoroughly soaked. Just missed Kyle. He left to pick me up a little late because he was busy watching some lame movie, thus I spent two uneeded dollars on the bus which came from my tips. Jeeze not impressive. Hungry as well. Today I redid Kathy's hair. She came in earlier and had a colorance (semi permanent) and liked it so much that she came to have it done permanently, only this time it was a lot brighter because apparently when you switch from colorance to permanent its more vibrant. Well we didnt want vibrant, we wanted it to be the same, only permanent. Its the same colour I put in Katies hair, which was also quite bright to begin with so I hope it means that Kathy's hair will also fade. She said she liked it but who knows if she was lying or not. I hope I didnt wreck things forever. Oddly enough its almost more pressure when you are working on someone you know because if you screw up or they dont like it, you have to see them again and live with the guilt of knowing you didnt just make someone unhappy but someone you LIKE unhappy. And what can be done? I just hope it didnt turn her off me doing her hair ever again. I hope she didnt go home and cry. In the afternoon Aya and I both didnt have hair cuts until 2:00. (Aya's my friend at school if you didnt know that) She asked me to cut her hair, she wanted it layered a bit. So I went ahead and did that and it was fun. Looks good if I must say so myself. Nice to know I can still do a good cut even when Im not under the direct supervision of my instrcutor. Doesnt mean that will happen everytime. Going bowling tonight. Good ol bowling. Dont suppose Ill see fwuf there? They never like to do the fun silly games like bowling. Too bad. I like it when they come. I feel like my life is full of boring things to write about that only I find interesting, such as who's hair I did and stuff like that. Who cares? Kyles mother is in the process of scolding him over the phone. She does that sometimes. I have to study for my exam. Fun fun fun.

Ethiopians
Kyle was watching an olympic race, I believe it was the 10 000m race and there were three Ethiopians in the race. They were "dominatin" and Kyle didnt understand he kept saying "they're supposed to be starving" over and over again like he just couldnt accept it. Accept it Kyle. Accept it and move on. Today was a good sabbath. Kyle gave a good talk and my class was fun. My lesson was on Im thankful for food and clothing and at the end of the class we played upset the fruit basket. The kids loved it because I was in the middle the whole time and it was fun for them to be too fast for the teacher. Im beginning to really like my class, unfortunately its not really my class, theyre the junior ctr class and Im the sunbeam teacher and there's only one kid- a boiselle boy and he never stays, and when he does he is so distracting to the other kids. Thats it. Thats all I have to say.

ripped off
Yesterday I was ripped off. People probably just think that I dont write in this, well although I missed a day, I assure you that they are wrong. Yesterday I wrote such a long lovely piece of journalism and what should happen when I try to publish it but it get erased because the internet was too stupid and slow. I was soooooo ticked off and certainly in no mood to try and salvage it by rewriting it and it not being the same. *sigh* Oh well whats done is done and i cant take it back. I recently woke up from one of those naps that you cant fight when your eyes just want to shut and it feels so good and right as they do only to find that you cant wake up and when you finall force yourself out of the sweaty bed, how do you feel? dizzzzzgusting! Another way in which I was ripped off. As for Kyle, he went to his first tennis rally at the club with a guy named Uwe wich is pronounced Ooooover. I quite enjoyed it when he left a message on our phone. Apparently he's german. Some incredibly good stuff has been happening in my book and I wish to speak to Amay of it but she's not around. Where could she be? maybe she's with BRAD? *gasp* Yesterday despite being ripped off I had a good day. I had a client who came in for highlights and a haircut. The ended up taking years off of her look- she was around 55. She was so happy and it was such a good feeling (even though Sally my instructor did a lot of the cut- I still had a part in it and so I dont take full credit only some) Tomorrow I have a weddin to go to. Aimee, a friend of Kyles fam is getting married to her live-in boyfriend with whom she has already had a kid with. Im going with her to get her hair done to help her hairdresser with the bridesmaid's hair supposedly. But she hasnt called me about that yet, so actually Im not sure. Its date night but we cant go unless Kyle's boss pays him. He seems to be avoiding his calls lately. Not a nice man sometimes. Beetnick made yummy brownies the nerve of her.

sweat
Sweaty sweaty day. At first I thought it was a nice heat today, the kind that one would enjoy rather than try to escape. That was because I was in an air-conditioned building and only stepped outside at lunch for a little while. It was nice then. Now, I just feel like I shouldnt be wearing anything. Today was a good day. I practiced blowdrying in the morning and Sally-the most critical instructor of all couldnt find anything bad to say about it. Thats a first with Sally. Then in the afternoon I had a pleasing client, a middle-aged lady who came in for highlights and a fresh new cut. She ended up loving what I did (although Sally came in and did a lot of the cutting so I cant take full credit) and it always feels good to make someone look good and feel happy about the way they look. Kyles not home yet and im hungry. I thought it would be nice to go black berry picking. I came across a bush full of succulent berries of the black variety on my way home from school. Took the wrong bus home today. All I saw was city centre on the front, I looked away before reading fairview. Luckily it wasnt that bad, it stopped right by my street, it just wasnt as close as the one I normally take. Its weird that taking the bus has been a regular thing for me lately. Weird also that Im a student. I like it, except for the whole homework and exam thing. Last night I got to play soccer. At first I wasnt that into and I wanted Kyle to be on the other team so I could play particularly rough with him, we he did end up being. Unfortunately the rough thing was only minimal. Last night was the first time in forever that I havent been totalled by some big guy who sends me flying through the air (doug is one of my regulars, which could be why-he wasnt there) It turned out being fun good times, even though everyone we played with are people that all know eachother and we dont. If that makes sense. I dont want to explain. Had an interesting conversation with Dave today about nimples which apparently are "innie nipples" something that can occur when one goes from one extreme climate to the other such as from arizona to edmonton. According to dave who served in Arizona on his mish and now lives in Edmonton, one needs a mediating climate such as Vancouver island to aviod the effects that sunburns and frostbite have when meshed together so blatantly. Had a good laugh over that. S'pose I should cook din din, but that would require doing dish dish and its not my turn and hasnt been for the past three weeks, yet some how I always end up doing them. BOYS! Thats all they are-boys, they never turn into real men, they just give the deceitful exterior. And Im done.

lonely
Kyles gone, he left me. Im soooo bored, I hate being by myself. He worked in Victoria today and what does he do but call me at 5:00 and tells me he's not coming home for the night. I really am disfunctional when I have been left alone for too long. Why cant I handle it? Oh, and I hate being all alone at night- HATE. Yes I wouldnt care if it died. I wish someone could come over and spend the night. CYATINWOOD mall, eh laura? Houseboat was all around good times, as always, but it was dreadfully short. We were on the fun boat=Katie, Brent, Doug & Del, Fwuffs, Laura and Kyle and I of course. Kyle and I had a little loft bedroom. It was hot up there. Went swimming. Went down water slide. Played on seadoo. Sang around camp fire. Ate many a twin bagel. worked on Doug documentary. Got caught by the rcmp when picking up laura and Kyle in the dark with Jordan. Didnt get burnt. Made up a song with fwuffs for Mudsy's birthday which also caused Dad to get choked up. Played silly 20 questions game on the way home, a game in which Laura and I continuously picked ourselves over and over. Sang along to church music in immitation to Kyles weird thin throat-scratchy base line. Once we got to the ferry we had an hour to kill so we got some fish and chips and layed out our blanket in front of the ocean and watched the sun go down. It was romantic. The ferry was late....theres more I want to talk about but my writing isnt coming out very good right now and itll just be dumb. Already is. Im lonely.

Mornin Time
Turns out Im not the most consistent in writing in this every day. Oh well, what can you do? Yesterday was Kyles birthday! 25. Of course, he has this theory that everyone forgets. Thats not true, but with our family what do you expect? I got him a tennis club membership. Good-bye quality time with spouse. Just kidding. He really really really wanted it, and thought we couldnt afford it, so he wasnt expecting it. Not to mention that I acted like it wasnt going to happen. I was so proud of myself for being so sneaky and I was so excited to give it to him that I couldnt sleep like it was christmas or something. Then in the morning our alarm went off, and I rolled over and was like "Happy birthday, I dont have a present for you" and he was like "that's ok" because he wasnt expecting anything because we're poor and he had all the money we owned in his wallet and knew I didnt take anything. I said "but I made a card for you" because thats how the tennis people gave it to me-as a birthday card. So I got it out and on the front it said Happy Birthday Kyle and had pictures of tennis raquets and on the inside it said a one year tennis membership at westwood. Well it turns out that the combination of him just having woken up and me tricking him so badly, that he thought it wasnt real, like I was just saying that one day Id get him a membership. Jeeze. So he just put the card back in its envelope and was li ke "thanks" and rolled over. All in all it was a good day. Busy. His mother bought him a geee tar. Its blue and very nice. Spoiled brat if you ask me. Who cares if there are people who dont remember your birthday if you score good presents? I decided to colour my hair again and I did it yesterday. It didnt turn out how I wanted it. I wanted to brighten the red that had faded so much to a bit brighter than it was the time before and add a thin purple streak next to it. Well, now it looks like my main colour is red and the purple sort of blends in and doesnt stand out how I wanted it to. *sob* most of my natural is GONE!!!!! "Sarah, how COULD you? Your one beautay!" Oh and the red is quite bright. Now everyone is going to make fun of me. Why am I awake when I dont have to be you ask? Well, truth be told Kyle farted and it woke me up. Sorry kyle, its the truth and you dont have to be embarrassed because its a natural thing. Anyway, seeing as cheesecake is the last thing I had to eat lastnight, my tummy is hungry in that yucky way, and I need to get ready for houseboat! Wooo hoo!!!

yuck, feel gross this morning. Yesterday when we got back to mother-in-law's house I found Grandma Stratton lying on the floor in a crumpled heap. It was scary, at first I thought that maybe she was dead. Well she wasnt, she was talking but not making much sense. We didnt really want to move her because it looked like she was in a weird position so Ann called the ambulance. They came and checked things out and we thought that maybe she took a fall and that was all but she couldnt stand or sit up. So they took her to the hospital and we found out that she had a minor stroke. These are something that she has frequently-it was her seventh one. Ann was shaken up about it. The night before I was having a good little chat with Grandma. She was telling me about her late husband and how they met and how he'd keep her feet warm in bed. I love hearing old people's stories, and they seem glad to have a listening ear and someone to talk to. Never woulda saw the stroke coming. Its not like I need to write about the surprise birthday/anniversary party that happened for Kyle and I on saturday, except maybe that Fwuffs ditched early as usual, and it was fun and thank you everyone for coming. You know ann actually went out and bought that outfit I had to wear specifically for the occasion and expects me to keep it and wear again?! I thought it was just something extra she happened to have lying around. Ha ha. Today I have a haircut, a lady requested me who I dont know. Weird. Her name is Marjory marshall.

Gloomy day
It seems to me that too many people are glum today. First Karen, which you know, she has her reasons to be glum, but Kyle too. He's not glum very often, but when he is, I hate it. Its harder for me to be nice to Mr. Mopey because I take it personally. Fwuffs and I were supposed to finish our video, but they took off with Chip and Brad. Typical fwuff-ditch. It hurts. Boys will always come first for them. Bethany was also late for our sleepover last night. She didn't show up until around 10:30!!!!!! Got bangs trimmed yesterday and I must say that I like the results. Well I have a date tonight *wink wink* that's always nice, but not if its with Mr. Mopey. Hmmm, maybe if I attack him with vicious pokes in the ribs, he'll be able to forget that we're poor and want to have fun with me instead. Hi Laura.
