Yes I am writing in here today. Woke up at ten today, feeling slightly lazy, but then considering I went to bed at 2- I got a reasonable eight hours. I might add that Kyle wanted to stay in bed longer. Now, he's watching the Cosby Show, an everyday favorite of his.
Last night was fun. I like having people at my house. The fwuffs ripped up the dance floor with their astounding dance dance revolution moves and Kaitlyn, Andrea and Katie serenaded us with touching pieces such as Abba, Christina Aguilera. Good times. I probably should have had food to offer seeing as SOMEBODY ate ALL the almond roca that Ann made for Kyle and I, and I had only had ONE piece of it myself, Kyle-none. hmph. We had good girl conversations such as boobs, and Delanie insisting that after she nurses her boobs become shriveled skin with a nipple on the end. She referred to them as Grandma Toner boobs. I asked where that whole thing came from and she said that that was how she pictured Grandma Toner's. Andrea shot that one down saying " no, I've seen hers and they werent like that". Delanie was like "Great, mine are worse than Grandma Toners!" I found it humorous. We stayed up talking until 2, which for us, is pretty late. Fwuffs crashed to party early, you'd think being the youngest the night would still have been young to them. No siree bub. One more thing I would like to add to the story, is that Tracy asked me for some water, so I got her a cup and filled it, and came back to the couch (I was standing behind). I held the glass between her and Delanie, sort of by her face and was too into the conversation to notice that Delanie took it started drinking it. A few minutes later Tracy was like "hey, I asked for some water!" Delanie suddenly realized the glass wasnt for her. She wondered how I knew that she was thirsty. ha ha.
Anyway, on a new years eve, I am contributing seven layer dip to the party and Im excited about it. However, when it comes to these things, Kyle is always concerned about how much money we're putting into it. He always says, all we need is enough to feed you and me. I guess technically this is true, but then not everyone can enjoy the dip. I want to bring enough for everyone to enjoy.

Im not good at this
This journal thing isnt my thing. I never know what to write about or how to write it. I always fall way behind and have no energy to catch it all up. No good, no good attall. At this moment, I am waiting for my tea to steep. Its "breathe easy" tea. Still all stuffed up. Still cant taste a thing. Lets see.... its been 5 days of no taste. I HATE it. Food is no fun. I missed tasting TWO Christmas dinners in a row. Im worried. What if its permanent? What if I'll never taste again? What if I'll never smell the the cologne I bought for Kyle?
Yesterday we went to church and then hung around afterwards because Kyle wanted to see Dean and his wife and Dave also. It was nice to see them both. Kyle reminisced with Dean while I talked to bearded Davud. The reason for his beard was not because of the chill in Edmonton, oh no, of course it has to do with a girl. After that we left and went to the hospital and visited grandma. She was bright and cheery, much better than when we first visited her. We had a nice visit, she really enjoyed the singing and wished that we all could have sang another song. She'll be ready to come out soon. Then we went to Ann's house. Im supposed to be calling her mom. Anyway, her delightful friend Barb was there. Barb is like a fake aunt to Kyle and her parents were fake grandparents to him. She's Ann's best friend. The wonderful part is that she knows Ann well and sticks up for us whenever she gets to nagging or basically anything annoying, she intervenes. She's a nice compliment to Ann, a much more down to earth person. I like her. I think she should be invited every time we go there. We visited and then ate. Im sure the meal was delicious, but it couldnt taste even a tiny bit. Ann insisted on having a tiny drink of pop despite her diabetes, and then after dinner was quite easily agitated and was arguing non-stop with Kyle about whether or not her remote control for her satellite tv would work for her new dvd player we got her. She finally tested her blood sugar level and was WAY over, way way over. So her and I went for a walk. Apparently that helps. She walks really slow and we were gone for a half hour. We had a nice chat. She IS quite chatty. I like walking, I wish I did it more. There's always a reason not to it seems. We got back and had plum pudding, and it was the first time for me. couldnt taste. Then we opened gifts. Ann totally spoiled us so much. There was this huge box up to my waste for me. I was thinking what could she possibly have gotten me thats this big?! It was a karaoke machine! So cool. I was really surprised! She got Kyle a very expensive home theatre amplifier and speakers. On top of all this were clothes, a new skirt and sweater for me (ironically the sweater is one I already own) and a pair of overalls with a reindeer on the front. Im getting used to telling Ann that I dont were things like that. Of course she was so excited about them and thought they were really cute. Oh goodness.
We came home and payed Evan and Esther a visit. It seems whenever we go there, I end up talking to Esther the whole time and Evan and Kyle do something. Carmen had a bath while I was there, it was so cute, her little rolly polly body and her wet hair slicked to her head.
This morning Im in the mood to play my dance game but I dont know how to set it up. I hate being so dependant on Kyle for that stuff. I need more knowlege.

The BERT bear has a few things to say...
And I quote "I still remain on my post to this day, presiding over the room of Christmas 2002. It has been a joy to be a bear of christmas. This is my true calling. As this magical time of year commences I just want to share the feelings of my little bear heart. It is full. Full of love, splendor-tender. It is a JOYus season, its a Speshul occasion, full of Lovelay warmth despite the chill of the weather, a Preshus event to share love, Jollay bows of hollay, it's a time to hark the herald. And I feel that it is my right to say: LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN!!! Have a merry ho-ho"
Just thought I'd let him share his feelins. The past two weeks have been unbearably busy and stressful for me. Im sooooo glad they're over. Jordan and I stayed up all night thursday night working on the color video. I went over to his house right after school and was there until 6:30 in the morning. I was sooo uptight about it all week, I wasnt eating properly due to the anxiety. I didnt even know i could BE so stressed out. That day I started getting a cold, so I was stuffy and gorss the whole time we were working on it. You know, staying up all night doesnt really help a sickness to subside. As a result I have HUGE ugily coldsore that has taken over my whole left nostril-that was the one that was running non-stop the whole night. You know, the kind of runny stuff-up nose where its plugged but running at the same time so you cant blow it, its just a constant drip which equals raw nose which equals coldsore. I hate the cycle, its almost impossible to stop- I get I cold I get a cold sore on my left nostril and look like i dont know how to wipe nose because of a encrusted herpes. GROSS ARRRRGGG!!!
Not to mention that MY classes arent done until the 22nd. Everyone at malaspina is out for holidays already. Nope not us, we dont even get out when the highschool students do, we're here until WEDNESDAY! Thats only three days before christmas. Not impressed about that. They couldnt even spare us TWO days? Jeeze.
Im supposed to cut Mudsie's hair today and Im a little nervous about that. She's a picky woman who cant express what she wants....speaking of which she wants me to start right now....
