Christmas times
Its always hard to write a post when you've left it for so long. So many things happened that I should have written about. We had a really nice Christmas season. I got to do so many things that I havent had the time for in the past few years, and it's been nice. Kyle got me new scissors for Christmas. They're really neat. The metal sort of shines different colours and they're Japanese handmade titanium plated. I like them. They came in a cool case with matching thinning shears. He also got me a razor and a hoodie and lots of things. We got some nice things from John and Slavica too.
Adriel was funny with his gifts. He would just hold on to the wrapped parts and suck on it. Once it was unwrapped for him he would
continue to suck on it. Thats just they way he is right now. So cute, and so happy. (other than being sick, I suppose.)Oh! I coloured my hair brown with pieces of red and blonde shining through. Its dark. Im not used to it. I dont know how much I like it at this point. The colour itself is nice, Im just not sure about it on me. I feel like my eyebrows are invisible. I just want my hair to hurry up and be long. I've never been so impatient about my hair. I'm tired of it not fitting in a pony tail. Im tired of a pony tail looking dumb. Its so frusterating as a hair dresser to not have any talent when it comes to my own hair. Its too hard. Its too slippery and thick. It wont stay in a bobby pin. It gets loose in all the wrong places. Its impossible to try and make it look loose and messy, without it just falling out or looking dumb and unkept. I am such a perfectionist about hair, that mine will never be good enough. There, thats my rant about my hair. I wanted to look like a cool funky hairdresser still...
ok so now what? Icant believe I've been on maternity leave for almost eight months!!! Its gone by so fast, and I dont want it to end!!! I havent really decided on whether or not Im going back to work or what. Of course it would be very part time. I just dont want to lose my skills, and I still have lots to learn. Baby comes first though of course.
Confessions of a homemaker: sometimes when I've used a pot for cooking noodles a none else, I dont wash it, I just rinse it out. What of it???
So theres a random post for ya.

Cantata Today was the canata. Things went well. At least that's from my point of view, being a part of it. Bethany was great on the piano, of course. The guys (who are rather unpredictable at times) pulled their weight. Kyle's solo was nice too. I was so nervous for him. I dont know why, its not like I didnt think he'd do a good job. But when he went up, I could feel my heart pound. It was as though I was singing it or something. Sometimes it feels like we're the same person. Adriel was noisy and had to be kept out of the chapel.
The two of us didnt get much sleep last night. He woke up at two and when I went to put him back down at around three, he woke up and was wide awake. Not interested in nursing, but wanting to play. Uh... I dont think so. So I lay him in his crib and he made noise for about another hour, before taking his soother and falling asleep. I had to get up for church at nine. You see, last week was our last day in the mt benson ward. But, the relief society was singing in church and Bethany and I were some of the few altos so we went for the singing. As as was sitting there, I realized how at home I felt in that ward. I never really realized it before. I was excited when we decided to move back to the nanaimo ward, its always been home to me. I was disappointed when we were asked to stay put. Well, I had mixed feelings, but mostly disappointed. It wasnt until we were asked to start going to the Nanaimo ward it occured to me that the mt benson ward is what I know now. Its what Im comfortable with. I have friends. There are lots of young couples. I felt sad to leave them. It was a sadness that they deserved. I shouldnt have been happy to leave in the first place. They were good to us. The nanaimo ward was nice though. Relief society is so different. The women all laugh and joke amongst themselves a lot more. They were almost giddy. It was amusing....Anyway, I sort of got off on a tangent. I was able to have a nap between church and cantata. But I was in such a deep sleep, that when Kyle woke me up, I was confused, like couldnt remember what day it was, or the time, or why I needed to get up. My whole body yearned to stay put. That makes for a agitated Stott. Rudely awakened as Laura would put it. And I was. He jumped on me to wake me up.
So, now that the baby is in bed, Im off too. just thought I should update. Christmas!!!!

Well the snow week was nice, and lazy, as a snow week should be. Kyle spent Thursday at home. We went to a matinee. We saw dejavu. We liked it. I like it when Kyle has a day off. Its fun, but there also comes a time when he needs to be at work. Nothing gets done otherwise. His laziness wears off on me, and I dont do the regular stuff, like dishes and other housework. Bethany and i had good times on Friday. At serious coffee we enjoyed our white hot chocolate, and I discovered that dipping the lemon square in the hot chocolate was tastey. While we were there, we decided to have a look at the coffee news. We did the trivia, which Bethany got two out five, and I got none. Then we did the picture thing where the two pictures are different from eachother in ten ways. I complained that I only ever found nine. Bethany explained that she always found ten and had a knack for it. I only found one. Bethany beat me to all the others. At one point she got up to go to the bathroom and told me I had better have found one by the time she gets back. I thought I did, but it was one she had already found. I will give the excuse that Adriel was wiggling wildly on my lap and made it hard to concentrate. We oonly ever did find nine. Then at moms we played with my new camera. It was fun. I got some good shots of Bethany's hair, some pretty ones of us together, and some separates of both of us. Then came time for the ugly shots. They were hilarious. I hadnt laughed that hard in a while, and it always feels good. That left Bethany mentally exhausted and I went home for my date with Kyle. We went to Montanna's with Evan and Esther, who were half an hour late. We ended up ordering for them. It wasnt too much of an annoyance because Kyle and I talked and visited, which doenst happen a lot on group dates. We got some one on one in. After dinner (desert was a YUMMY deep fried cheesecake) we rented The Da Vinci code butI was too tired and I went to bed. We finished it on Saturday morning. Ok some pics and then I must tend to my child.
