Its a keeper
Love the skin, beet-le-mack. Love it. Its gonna be around for a while. I might even go so far as to say it's your best work that you've done for me. Yesterday I had a home made hamburger which was quite yummy to the taste. I had forgotten how good they could be. I also had corn on the cob and I must say that I dont get enough of it. Probably because I have never bought any myself. I cant believe I have school again tomorrow. It feels like I havent been for so long. And, well, I havent. Im a little worried about it actually.
I did mom's hair today. I cut it a little to add more texture. Her hair is easy for me to understand in that way because its almost exactly like mine. That means in order to make a difference you have to texturize it like crazy because there's so much hair. Then I styled it and I had fun. It made it hip. Flicked the ends out and things. She said she feels like she's trying to look 20. Thats a complex a lot of older women have. They think because they're old, they cant have nice hair. Many tend to cut it all off and get a perm. Anyway, I like it. Katie, teach me how to cut your hair, and I'll do it. I just dont want to wreck it.
Kyle has left his ubc application to the last minute. Its supposed to be there by tomorrow and he's finishing and sending it today. Boys. Not that I can say a whole lot because my color project was handed in last minute too. But this is a future in his hands. You'd think he'd have done it already.

Practicum Day 1
Today was my first day of practicum. I called the place i was supposed to go to last week and explained my situation to see if I could at least come and observe. They were very kind in agreeing. I started at 9 and was told I could go home around 1. It was a short day. But I was greatful because I feel so useless only really being able to sit and not assist or anything. Just sitting there isnt going to get me a job, and I've accepted that Im going to have to go on a really undesired job hunt once my foot gets better. I got a lot waiting on that foot. I feel so yucky right now and I just want to get out. Like I feel stuffy and lazy. I dont feel like making dinner, none of the food in my house appeals to me. Cant really go grocery shopping cant really do anything but watch tv and I watched enough when my life was busy.
On a happier note, gilmore girls is on tonight and Lauralie (no idea how to spell it) and Luke got back together in such a satisfying way last week. Thats always encouraging.
Im in the process of reading men are from mars and women are from venus with Kyle. I chose it at mom and dads for reading material in the emergency room. Its very interesting. Im learning more about myself and Kyle. Who knew that he was such a typical man? I dont mean that in a bad way.
and i've run out of things to talk about.

I have succumbed
And I must not succumb again. There has been this persistant itch on my leg in my cast that will NOT go away. Now, my pamplet on how to care for your cast says do not put any foreign objects in your cast to relieve itching. I was so good all day resisting it, until just a few minutes ago while washing my face in the bathroom and noticing my tail comb waiting to be used in such a delightful way. Oh it was so nice. Such satisfaction. But, its a bad habit and I dont want to have any more of those. Maybe it will come off tomorrow! Today was potluck. And I dont really want to write that much about it because all of a sudden Im tired and want to go to bed. Kyle basically played games all the way through til we left consisting of set-lers of Zarahemlah followed by rook. I played Zarahemlah and it wasnt that fun for me. I ended up missing out on the visiting with people. I tried to hold Gabriel but he screamed and screamed. Apparently I dont have the touch with that one. Kyle announced that he needs to lose weight when we got home. Apparently his suit pants are uncomfortable tight in the belly. he he he. And now, as I look over at him at 11:04 pm he is happily indulging in some vanilla oreos and milk. Silly boy. Anyway, I want to say goodnight.

The ditcheroo
Amay gave me the ditcheroo tonight. Her and beth were supposed to come over and dance. Nope. Thats ok, though another time. I cant dance anyway, but the company would have been nice. Kyle has been gone all day. School and now band practice. I've had to find ways to fill my day and I wont deny that tv wasnt a large part. I missed gilmore girls last night, so I watched it today. It was a good one. liked it, liked it. I also made a crock pot stew. When in a kitchen as tiny as mine, moving around isnt that difficult. Standing on one leg got tiring fast though. Read some bookage and am in the process of fighting a cold. Broken foot and period wasnt enough, life had to hand me a cold too. Another thing I did was took a nap. Breathing was difficult because my mouth had to be open and it made my throat all dry and scratchy. Also, had some weird dreams. Hey, does anyone know the song by sarah mclachlan thats sort of slow and mellow and is played on the radio? I know there are a few right now, but theres one in particular that I like. Want to know the name. Kyle says it sounds just like Adia, but I have to disagree. Same sort of mellowness, which is what I like about her.I watched dr phil today, it was premarital boot camp. Interesing. There were three couples who were engaged and they had to do certain stuff. One thing they had to do was take care of these computerized newborn babies that cried and needed to be fed and changed and sometimes just held. The babies would wake up in the middle of the night and cry for things. I thought it was cool. And then there's a microchip thing that records how you did and you get a letter grade. I want to try it. See how I'd do. I want my cast off. Its supposed to be a walking cast, but the way my foot is in it, I cant walk. its not angled properly and at this rate I wont be able to walk until it comes off. So I want it off. At least for next week. As much as I enjoy this break, I need to do my pracitcum and it makes it harder to enjoy the time off, when I know Im just going to have to make up for it. hmph. So, I dont know what to do about my cast. My ribs and arms and armpits are so sore and bruised. I refuse to rely on them for longer than a week. refuse.

woah. who knew I would be back so soon? who knew my life would be altered in such a way that I had no choice BUT to return for lack of anything else to do other than watching t.v.? who knew?
So let's begin with my story. It all started with Kyle being grumpy yesterday. I was doing laundry at mom and dads and he had a class. He only has one class on mondays. Bethany was also at mom and dads (on a side note, I always feel somewhat guilty and lazy when I say bethany rather than one of her fanciful nicknames, I mean there are SO many to choose from and yet, I choose the original) we were feeling gloomy due to the day, the weather and such as I wrote yesterday. Well mom offered to treat us for lunch. The gloom was lifting. However, mom had to finish doing her hair and all that primping stuff that she does. Long story short I had to leave the restuarant early despite how much I was enjoying my cajun chicken caesar salad that I believe Laura and I discovered together.
I picked up Kyle from school, I had been a little late and he had started walking down the hill. We went back to mom and dads for a while to wait for laundry. All this while since my gloom was lifted I decided it was time to lift his as well. So we were sort of play fighting and stuff. Then slavica called and I hadnt talked to her forever so I talked to her for a while and then laura, and tended to the laundry and by the time I got back to Kyle he was lightly snoozing.
I kindly woke him up and he said he need to go to country club for some black and white film. Well we looked and there was none. We went back outside to look in future shop and I started to poke kyle and chase him around. So, Im immature, what of it? I was running up from behind him to give him a hug and he thought I was going to do something awful and started running just as I got behind him. My foot snubbed his and I rolled onto my ankle side ways in full throttle. PAIN surged through my foot as I stumbled behind and a piller infront of lazy boys furniture gasping and saying owie owie owie really fast (wonder who I learned that one from laura?) and tears uncontrollably filled my eyes. Kyle swooped in and gave me a hug trying to figure out what had been done but I was too hysterical to talk. I just hung in his arms and cried. How pathetic right? I limped back to the car feeling like I had over reacted a little (the car was really close to the scene of the accident) He went in for some film. Didnt have any.
We decided to go to woodgrove and I thought how handy, I can buy gabriel's present at walmart while we're there. My foot would be better by then. Well I got out of the car and tried to walk. didnt work. Just the movement of my foot swinging through the air gave an awful pain and nausea in my stomach. Kyle caught me again, and told me to stay in the car. I argued and argued with all my might insisting that I NEEDED to get the present NOW and balling my eyes out at the same time- all the while people are passing by and wondering what is going on with the blubbering lady. I decided I would make in in, took two more steps and cried even louder. Kyle was trying to get me in the car at this point- forceful, yet gently. I told him to put me in a shopping cart or get me an old persons scooter thing that they give out there. He acted like I was being so rediculous. I gave in and got back in the car. I called dad, still sort of crying and told him that I hurt myself. He was busy in parksville. Why is it even when you're an adult, parents still make it better? We were going back to mom and dads anyway for the laundry so we decided to wait for him there. Kyle though it was dumb, that dad wouldnt know anything anyway, and I'd be feeling better by today.
when I got to mom and dads, Kyle insisted putting an ice pack on my foot which instigated another blubbering arguement that bethany had to witness. she made me tea. kind girl. Dad ended up taking longer than planned and Kyle had to leave for band practice. When dad saw my foot he estimated that I may have broken one of the little bones in my foot. After dinner he took me to emergency where we hardly had to wait at all for the first time in my life. Turned out it was broken. They casted it and sent me on my way, instucting me to stay off my foot for the rest of the week.
sigh. so here I am. no practicum for me this week. I dont know whats gonna happun. I need a job! This was supposed to be it! Ahhhh! I cant even really believe it yet. and I have a new found respect for anyone who has had to transport themselves by way of crutches. my armpits and hands are bruised. Im so useless!
