HAGERD
Thats Kyle's nickname for tonight...well it possibly be longer than that-we'll see. His hair is quite hagerd tonight and it matches his mood. And when I told him that was his nickname he started making appropriate noises to match the name. Today was another great day. Enjoyed the practicum very much so. I went with Katie this morning to monarch to get hair supplies. Bought me some new shampoo and conditioner with plum vanilla sent. Im a sucker for vanilla. Then I was a little late coming back home to pick Kyle up for school. He was already waiting outstide for me, which abolished my original plan to go back in, pick up a few things such as hair cutting supplies so I could go to cut Dougs hair afterwards. After dropping him off and driving half way home I realized that I didnt have my keys, because I was going to be picking that up with my hair kit. So I drove all the way back, frantically looked all over for a parking spot before parking illegally and made my way blindly into his building. I say blindly because I had no clue as to where his classroom was. I had to peek in each door window. When I found him, he looked right at me and I waved, and he waved back....and just sat there. What was he thinking? That I just popped into say hi and watch him from the hallway and then leave again? I motioned for him to come out and he did reluctantly. He wasnt impressed that he had to hand his keys over. By the time I arrived at the office to cut doug's hair, it was 12. I had to be at practicum at 1. I hadnt eated luch. I told Doug I was ready to cut his hair and no nonsense. Well he gave me nonsense. He didnt come out for another 20 mins (he was in a meeting with Dad) By the time I was done it was 20 to 1. Doug offered to buy me lunch. He took me to Quizno's and Amay, I tried the chicken carbonara. Mmmmmm sooooo good! Bethany, how DARE you think that subway's better! Yucky processed subway! It was pure enjoyment, although I wasnt able to eat it until I was at my practicum. Thats how laid back they are. Good times. Well that was my day...in a nutshell.

The tuna bun in my lunch
It was a very delicious tuna bun in my luch today. I cant even begin to describe how each bite was a tremendously tasty adventure. Who knew that a tuna bun could be so good? It might have something to do with the fact that it was made with one of Tracy's homemade buns. Yum yum. I just might have to make some specifically so that I can have a lunch that I love every DAY. Can you imagine? A lunch to look forward to everyday? It makes me so excited my inerds quiver with delight.
Today was a good day. It went by quickly at the salon. I've been able to watch a lot of coloring. It was fun. I love colour. It interests me and it looks so good, the changes that can be created on peeps. Thats right, I just said peeps. Hey, Amays says 'rents and I think thats worse than peeps. Im going to see dance with me tonight and then we're having wingy. yay! wingy!
At my practicum I hear a lot about marriages going sour, affairs, or jerkish men in general because there are few girls who work there who have been divorced or separated. There's a lot of bitterness and some seem to think that if you marry young, then you're in for it. I just feel so lucky to have Kyle. We are so in love and we just keep getting closer and closer and loving eachother more and more. It also makes me feel lucky to have a testimony in eternal families. Families are great....and Im definitely a geek today.

Frumpled Fremlin
Fwuff claims that all the titles to my blogs sound like childrens' book titles. I say fwuff because I cant recall which one said it to me. Im leaning towards amay but at the same time I can picture Bethany saying it to me for some reason...hmmm thats the problem with twins, sometimes in the memory they blend as one. It was a fun filled week. Just had a conversation with Ann. Cant say that I kept my patience all that well. Every time I talk to her (ok, not EVERY time) she asks about a bed that she lent to martha, and who's sleeping in it and is martha moving and if so what is she going to do with the bed, is michelle still sleeping in it, hopefully not because if so it will surely break, and how many beds does she have, does she need a twin bed, I have a twin bed she can trade for the little bed, are her kids sleeping on two double beds, what do the boys sleep on, find out about the bed, how come you never ask her about the bed? Today we slept in and went to Nanaimo ward. Got a lot of guff about that and frankly I think its no ones business and no has the right to point fingers. So I missed my own ward, maybe I had my own reasons maybe I didnt, but I dont think I should be scolded. Im a big girl, I can decide for myself and accept the consequences. Needed to get that out. Got an especially mean scolding from Evan who said we are lame over and over. It was mean. Like he actually called just to say that to me. Who would go out of their way for that? I think my husbands handsome and I dont mind saying so. We played battle of the sexes today, just kyle and I and he beat me. The questions they ask the women about the men were so hard! I dont know anything about cars and football.

I enjoyed my new place a lot more. Its a lot more laid back, and Im allowed to watch. Some of the stylists are amazing! Eveyone was really nice too and fun to be around. Not too shabby. Yesterday I coloured karey's hair. It was an interesting event. Picking out the colour at the store was weird because I dont know a lot about box colour and I didnt know what would work and how. Then I also didnt bring any of my stuff, meaning I didnt have a colour brush, so we used an old paintbrush and we bought a pastry brush. (i put blonde and red in here hair) It ended up looking quite nice I must say. Aya did Elicia's highlights because we had so much left over. Lastnight Kyle wouldnt talk to me on the phone because he wanted to watch CSI. It was his one break from doing homework. What I didnt understand was why couldnt talking to me have been part of his break. So dumb. Boys. Their priorities are all mixed up. This morning I had to get up early and go pee. I hate having to do that, when there's still a good hour of sleep left and who know's if youre gonna fall back asleep? Who knows? Well Im off to my practicum...

Calm
bored outta my gourd. nothing to do, no book to read, no one to talk to and Im just here. Thats it. Just exist. nothing more nothing less. Today I went back to sukis, built up all my courage, planned exactly what I was going to say and everything. Well turns out that Kenny G isnt in again until thursday (the manager) So what was I to do? Stick it out until thursday? I dont think so. So I expained to the receptionist (it was a different guy today) that I was on practicum there and that I wouldnt be continuing. They said I could come back on Thursday and talk to Kenny then. Uhhh no thanks. Then I went to the back to get Elicia's umbrella that she entrusted me with yesterday and low and behold it isnt there. Well, all the people in the salon arent the same as the ones that were in yesterday, so everyone was looking at me like 'you look pretty comfortable snooping around a place you've never been'. This guy asked me what I was doing and then I told him and he helped me look for it. Gone. Tons of other umbrellas there but not Elicias. So I had to buy her another one and I did just that. So from there, I walked to Bambu, the original salon I wanted to go to, in Yaletown. Found my way quite nicely I might add. I went in, the manager happened to be sitting at the front desk. I talked to her, told her my story and she said that it wouldnt be a problem for me to start tomorrow. She took down my name and number, gave me a run through on what I'd be doing and what the dress code was and that was it. A whole new practicum with much nicer people...or so they seem. They must be pretty good if Laura would go there right? What I load that took off my back. The dress code is all black. I ontly brought one pair of black pants and one shirt. Truth of that matter is, I only own two shirts that are solid black and ones short sleeves. So I shopped around for a black shirt. Did I find one? Well I found many, but either the nice ones were too expensive or the medeocre ones werent worth dishing the cash out for. Ever had that happen? You go shopping specifically to buy and for some reason you cant bring yourself to spend the money? I DID find an extremely cute pair of black shoes at aldo that were regular $100 and on sale for $30. Oh how my feet yearned to belong in those shoes. I could hear kyles voice as it repeated for the millionth time " you dont NEED more shoes!" whatever buddy. Ill be the judge of that. And yet, I still couldnt do it. hmph. lonely. where are the fwuffs in a time like this?
oh right I didnt even explain my title. They have a little essence booth set up at pacific centre. they give out free samples of as many things as you want. So I replenished my old sample of the vanilla bean body butter and got a new kind called calm. A fitting name and smells delightful.

Suki's
*sigh* I wish that I could say that it was a good day, that Im thrilled about being at Suki's and Im learning so much from them. NOPE. Today when I got there, only the receptionist was there and he wasnt even expecting me, meaning the manager never informed anyone. Then, no one gave me any instruction as to what I should do, so I started watching a stylist cut someones hair. She was grumpy, ignored me completely and basically didnt want me there. Then the manager got there and said that Im not there to stand around and watch and that I need to sweep, do towels and keep everything clean along with the other apprentices. Now, the apprenticing program. Basically, if you can be an apprentice and trained by suki's. How that works is, you have class every wednesday night where you must present things you are taught on a model. Its like being in hair school on wednesday evenings and working in a salon during the day. In the salons you shampoo clients, get them things to drink and clean up. You do this anywhere from one to two years (two if you are starting without any hair background) or as long as it takes for you to pass everything "suki style" So, for me I was lower than the apprentices. I wasnt allowed to shampoo because I wasnt trained the suki way, I wasnt allowed to hold foils for the colorist because I wasnt trained the suki way. Im just doing all the crappy work for free. Not learning anything because thats not what Im there to do. So...the question is: what to do. I called my instructor Lynda and she said to talk to the manager and be upfront about wanting to learn and participate and if Im not comfortable there, then to find somewhere else. So thats what I guess I have to do. Im going to go in tomorrow and talk to him, an maybe we can work things out, and if not (most likely) Ill try and find somewhere else-maybe Aya's salon or maybe the original salon that I tried to go to before if they will take me on such short notice. we'll see. In the mean time I miss my husband a lot. In fact right now Im wearing my sweater because it smells like his cologne. mmmm...What can I say? Im in love.

yucky feelings
My stomach feels yucky this morning. Kind of like a bubbling cauldron. blech. On the bright side, its sunny out and thats always nice. Yesterday was a day full of planning my colour project video. It was fun, lots of work left to do though. Ummm, other than that I dont know what to w rite about. Today is a clean the car day, and who knows what else. I feel a little anxiety as the primary presentation is coming up and my practicum also. Sorry that my life is this dry. Nothing else comes to my mind as to what I should write. Kyle needs a hair cut and for some reason is holding onto his einstein (sp?) days for dear life. bye.

The new Bootaguses
Yes thats right-bootiguses and no matter what bethany might have to say about that, thats what they are, and they are mine. And I must also say that it was a purchase worth making. Im afraid that Im not consistant enough in writing in my blog and that I no longer have the write to just suddenly show up once a week and write somthing. I was worried of this when the fwuffs talked me into starting up. What'll I do if I get really busy, the computer's too dizzy? What'll I do?
Mine is a face of constant zits. Hows that to make ya feel perty? Next sunday is the primary presentation and I feel like I am more involved than the kids are. I had a dream last night that I went to my practicum place and everyone was really snotty and rude, and I wanted a hair cut and all they did was cut my bangs (and not very nicely at that) and did two small braids on one side of my head and snipped the ends off. (made me wonder what effect that would have in real life) Anyway, the guy charged me 40$ for that and sent me on my way. It wasnt until later in my dream that I realized I was totally ripped off and i intended to so something about it. I dont want a mean practicum *sigh*
Went to the temple on Saturday with Doug and Del, Jord and Tracy and oh yes, just me. I was the odd one out. Still fun though, except that I had to sit in the middle the whole time without any neck/back support. what was I to do? make tracy and her long legs sit there? or pregnant delanie have the most uncomfortable spot? Luckily tracy was willing to lend me a shoulder to rest my head on every now and again. we watched Johnny Lingo. Cute movie. I also bought a small version of the forgotten carols to read with Kyle this christmas. He's never even heard of it!

I think you all should know that my own husband doesnt read my blog. Hmph. Too busy doing "other" things. Today was a busy day in the salon. I had three clients. Thats a lot for me. For the next two weeks level three is on practicum and level one just started on the floor. We are on the floor all day everyday for the next two weeks, which technically isnt that long because we are only at school for two days next week and then practicum. Woo hoo. Im scared because what if they dont like me at the salons Im going to? What if they think Im ugly? Hmmm what else can I write about? Oh, I got an advent calendar already. For some reason i felt the need to get it once I saw it. Im so excited for Christmas. Excited to be home. Anyone got any ideas of something cool I can do for Kyle? Personally I think being his wife is present enough. kidding. I dont know why I dont have anything to write about. I just had a long weekend, you'd think something would have been worth mentioning. I saved up enough money from my tips to buy boots. But then I started thinking, the only time you see boots is when you wear skirts and my skirts dont necessarily go with boots all the well. I dont know.
