its sunny!
Its been a while I know. It was a busy week...not to mention that Kyle spends a lot of time on the computer. He found this dumb new game. All morning yesterday while I was preparing my lesson and making dinner he played it. I think he even had it on pause while we were at church. Its bad. My weekend was ok. There were some fun parts. Like Jordans rib night. Yum. However, the movie we watched called the million dollar baby was had a very disappointing ending. On Saturday I went to Tracy's in the morning to go for a run, but Jordan didnt get home from hockey when he said he would. We ended up not having time to go before I had to pick up Karey from the ferry. We ended up doind pilates instead. It was nice to have a visit from Karey. I must also say that Im proud of the creation I made with her hair. It was fun, and not to toot my own horn but it looked really good when I was done styling it. Its gratifying to have those experiences. Especially after the really arrogant guy's cut that I had on Friday. The rest if saturday wasnt that great. I went to a girl, Trinity's baptism, where I didnt really know anyone, and Kyle didnt want to come with me. We watched Collateral that night- not at the baptism mind you. It was good, not exceptional, not bad, just good.
Sunday we were the last to be invited to Doug and Delanies for Mary's birthday. Hey, it has to happen to someone. We missed the present opening part because of this, and just got there in time for cake and icecream. The breyers vanilla icecream made up for the subpar cake. But what are ya gonna do when you have thirty people coming for cake and you are 8 months pregnant? Fwuffs didnt come i noticed. They are slowly abandoning the family. Now im afraid because they always eat dinner faster than everyone else and then go to their rooms and whatever at potluck. Well, now they wont have rooms so what if they just go home? And I never get to see them again? What IF? Thats a mighty big if. Today is try and organize my life day. We'll see how it goes.

A fresh feeling
Just got out of the shower and I must say, I washed some of the laziness away.... I love that feeling. Why does a shower make all the difference? Its just water and soap. Makes me wonder how anyone ever lived without one. Its been a good weekend. Got some new clothes which is always a fun thing for a girl. Watched Napoleon Dynamite last night. Funny. Laughed out loud a few times, one of my favourites being the sign language of the rose.
Today my day consits of, dropping Kyle off at school, meeting Katie at Monarch, going home for a little while, picking Kyle up from school, going to mom and dads, doing laundry, cutting Mom's hair, going grocery shopping, going to Katie and Brents for din din and cutting Brents hair also. Thats all I know about for now. Dont really feel like writing that much right now....

I dont know what happuned
Some how I pressed something while I was typing and it printed my blog before i was done, so read the next one first and then move on to this one... anyway as I was saying Esther bought a really nice flat iron, nicer than the one I have. I want a new one too. Its their anniversary today and Im baby-sitting Carmen for them. I told Kyle that it would be a way of telling what it will be like to have baby. He says no way. He doesnt really want a whole lot to do with it. He claims that other peoples babies make him uncomfortable.... It sort of bugs me. Whenever I baby sit for someone, Kyle never wants to have anything to do with it, he doesnt help, and instead sort of adds to the burden. Not that I think that baby sitting Carmen will be difficult or anything, it just brings back past frusteration. He says it will be different with our own kids because they'll like him. I said babies probably would like him, if he put effort into it. Geeze. oh well. In the mean time, my weekend is coming to an end. I received a phone call from Evan saying that after all the effort in cutting his hair and giving him a trendy longish style, the brothers are making him cut it off anyway. It bothers me for some reason. Sort of like Evans hair is a piece of my art work that I happen to be proud of and they're making me wreck it. I dont like it, and i dont want to do it either. Not in the best mood, if you cant tell by all my negative comments, so instead of bringing everyone else down, Ill just stop writing.

A nice new skin
Well today is gross weather, making all the pretty snow heavy and brown. I hate it. And apparently its supposed to rain like this ALL week. For some reason this seems depressing to me. Nope dont like it one bit. Today has seemed to fly by without me really doing anything. I took Esther to get a flat iron.

My Name is Sarah-Lynn
Sometimes its hard for me to come to grips with the fact that my name has a lynn attached to it- thats my name. Its weird for me because no one calls me that. I've never been Sarah-Lynn. I suppose its similar to Katie having the name Katherine- a pretty name, yet I cant picture her a Katherine, she's Katie (which is a nice name too mind you). Well I decided today that Kaitlyn is named after me too. After all theres no Lynn in Katie's name, but there is in mine. Im taking the credit. Speaking of Kaitlyn I sent her the hot pink puffy jacket she wanted me to get for her. I decided to send it by bus because I thought it would be cheaper than post and get there faster. It was a really light jacket. But no, it cost me 14.oo! Not fair. Oh well, of course its sort of my own fault because once learning that I could have been like, nevermind, Ill just send it by post. However, I am gutless, I have a hard time standing up for myself, or even just talking to people, I dont know whats wrong with me. I mean, what would have been scary about that? Nothing. But, I had already gone all the way there, and I just wanted to send it, and I had to pick Kyle up at school in 10 minutes. Yesterday I was six minutes late and he was all worried about me. Thought I might have had an accident in the snow. (really I think he was worried about our car) Come to think of it, he was quite often 7 or more minutes late picking me up from school, did I get all worked up about it? No. He's so paranoid that Im going to turn into his mother and make him wait his whole life.
We finally went grocery shopping tonight. We ran into Evan and Esther and Tanis and her Dad. It was a little reunion of a sort. I dont know what we were reuniting, but anyway it was a reunion ok? Evan and Esther were torn apart about deciding on a snack to buy. Esther wanted to usual- nuts or old dutch barbecue chips. Evan wanted crispers, or two bite brownies that sort of thing. I was with Evan on that one. I dont really care for barbecue chips though so that might be why. They ended up compromising on that one.
Today at school I cut a lot of hair. I did an older gentleman in the mornin time. During lunch I cut a fellow classmates hair. Her name is Julie, and it was quite cute I might add. It made me want to cut mine all off. Well, not all off, but something needs to be done about it. In the afternoon I had an interesting lady, and older lady who is currently a student in the creative writing program thing. After her I had a tall and quite handsome guy who was a student in the tourism program and originally from Switzerland. I have a problem cutting younger guy's hair. Its an issue. My hands get really cold, and shaky and I cut myself sometimes. I dont know what to talk about, I cant flirt (even if it wasnt against the rules, I cant) Its weird for me to touch them- their faces, hold their ears down- its all SO AWKWARD for me! I dont know what my problem is- its like a switch was hit when I got married or something. Who knows. Anyway, after him Linda my instructor asked me to cut the back of her hair. So I did that also. I felt all cut out, like if another person were to ask me to cut their hair, I wouldnt want to put effort in it, i'd just make a mess.
Anyway Im tired time for bed.

Its a wonder
Its a wonder that I managed to keep myself fully occupied and not bored at all today while remaining inside the confines of my very own apartment. Ok, its not my very own, because Im renting... But anyway, I like my house. I went through my clothes today and found a few things I could bare to get rid of. Usually my "rid of" clothes go to the twins, but, not this time. I decided after taking a look in both their bedrooms that they have ENOUGH clothes, and if I were to give them my leftovers, they would get lost in the bundle perhaps forgotten (after all, they arent that great, thats why I dont want them). It was nice to organize the contents of my dresser. Why is it that sometimes things like that can be so satisfying and other times, you just dont want to do it?
I also vacuumed, only to catch Kyle, who came home between classes and cut his nails in a corner behind the couch. I scolded him and he insisted that I didnt need to talk to him like that and he would vacuum it up. Did he? no. I think an appropriate punishment is no dinner until he does it.
I spent a lot of time playing dance-dance today. My new challenge is doing it double. This means one person, two pads. Its fun, but Im not that good at it. Im sure the grandma fifi downstairs doesnt appreciate all the banging around and yet, I still do it. Cant give it up. Gotta live life. No regrets
I seem to recall a certain fwuff (one who also makes a mean peaches and cream) telling me that she was coming over every week to play it with me. She has not done this yet. Not to mention that Im never going to see the fwuffs again because whenever I go over to mom and dads, their dumb boyfriends are there ALLLLLLL the live long DAY, and I cant spend time whith them, and now they're leaving and they wont be there at all when i go to mom and dads. It wont be fun no more no more, it wont be fun no more.

It is time
Time for me to write again. School is back in session and although I am enjoying being level three and all the cool stuff we'll be learning and my new instructor, it has been tiring to the body.The body has been used to sleeping in. As Bethany pointed out to me, one only has to teach the body to be lazy, and it will fall into obedience. This was true. She, however didnt tell me the horrifying results of trying to get rid the laziness. My body just wants to sleep. It feels sleepy right now and its only 7:12. Kyle's at band practice. Its supposed to only be an hour-we'll see about that. I COULD seize the opportunity to get one up on him with "dance-dance" but lets be real. Hes better than me at it and thats it. He's a dancer. Im better than my husband at soccer (not a whole LOT better, but I have an edge) and he's better than me at dancing. Seems a little ironic. I like hair. Its fun. I always think of fun things to try on peoples hair. It excites me. Im so glad that I found something that I love so much. Now I just need to get good at it before I graduate in four months. Thats right four months. April 19 is our graduation, so mark that on your calenders and dont go anywhere on that day. Its supposed to snow so school can be cancelled. It seems like when you hope too much it never happens. Im afraid that I've already hoped too much. Alas. Who's bed have your boots been under?
