I'm almost done...

So today I learned how to do a 'Beveled Blunt' cut. This means that your hair looks all one length, but is in fact slightly shorter underneath so that you can flip it under so that it's less straight/less dead looking. Pretty nice. I hated blow drying it after though..I've decided I don't like blowdrying and that I never will. The only way I would like it is if I had some huge pipes that would let me have my elbows up as high as my shoulders for an hour straight. I can't do that with these arms.

Benjamin got home this evening from Oma's and Mcdonalds for supper in a fresh new outfit, and I commented on how nice he looked and this is what he said as he ran through the room. " Thanks. I had other clothes on but I threw up on them." And that is exactly what he did- in one of the tunnels in the playplace at Mcdonalds. Mom said a guy around Caleb's age (17) offered to climb in and clean it out. (Is it just me-or is that incredible?)

I really feel like I have no social life at all. I go to school and then I come home and do homework and then I go outside and by then it's supper time and after supper I talk to my family and read and do boring things like tidying my room. Other than GBS every other Monday if I don't have to miss it I see no friends at all. Just Katie. Because I live with her. I saw Michelle this weekend and Jenna the other night...first time in over a month.

O.k. Let me talk about the guy at school. (the only guy...because there aren't many male hairdressers anymore) He comes into the lunch room everyday, sits down, opens his lunch and starts complaining. He complains about getting parking tickets, the teachers, the school, his job, his car, his girlfriend (who goes to the school and is sitting right accross from him as he speaks) and about his lunch. And he swears several times in every one of his sentences. I only see him at lunch but the other girls tell me he is like that all day long. (hurray for being at the opposite end of the school from him!) The funniest thing about it is if he doesn't like red apples and anything that isn't individually-packaged, why doesn't he make his own lunch and spare us? (me) Ricardo quote: You have to be careful about jobs, I mean, girls come and go, but..."

Anyway..I'm going to bed

Easter Sunday

This afternoon I watched, "You've Got Mail" (Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan) fell asleep almost, and so I got up and went to my bedroom and as I was lying there on my bed with the radio on I fell into that half sleep where you always dream and you are aware of everything, but it doesn't necessarily register in your brain, ever had that? I was outside (in my dream) in the sunshine that (I knew) was coming in the window and I was running down my street. Running is something I dream about doing but never am able to do for very long in real life. I was running, and the music to "Size Matters" was playing, which for some reason fit perfectly to my mood. That's a new country song, don't ask me who it's by. It's actually cute..I like it now. I think the sound of a song can often descibe moods better than words, don't you think? Have you ever been driving down the road, or walking through a mall, and because a certain song was playing, you felt like everything was fresh and exciting and it felt like you were in a movie that would have a happy ending? It was like " Yes! That song would be the soundtrack for right now." Anyway, the end of the dream was me running into the arms of the man I dream about...and it was a perfect romance type of thing, not sexual or hollywoodish...more long term, joyful. Then the song ended and a commercial started and ruined the mood. These moments only happen when I'm really happy and really relaxed so it's kind of cool when it does. It kind of puts things into perspective.

Anyways. I hope you are having a Blessed Easter and that you are feeling God's love.

Katie

Hello:)
I am in one of the best moods available in the world! at least as far as I've experienced in my 19 years. :D I just love my sister so much. I am so thankful to have her as a sister because she is also my best friend so we can see eachother whenever!!! And I don't know how to stay mad at her. I think she can stay mad at me though...haha. Our family was at my Grandparents today and it was like before, when we'd drive out to Ontario from Calgary and stay for a week and do farm things and tame kittens and pick flowers and explore and change it up just enough that Grandma would notice after we left.

Katie and I went for a run. HAHA She is built like a cheeta or something, and I'm more like a elephant, but I made it down the whole driveway before passing out. The driveway is really long by the way. My Grandparents live next door to my Aunt and Uncle, but it's a good 20 minute walk, and their drive ways are about the same length, so like 5 minutes of running and I was ready to pass out! Isn't that awful? For Katie is just comes naturally. I'm more of a fast walker or a jogger. But whatever, I'll worry about that when we go on the Amazing Race together next year or so...:)

My cousins Joel and Isaac are the cutest little kids ever. Isaac is almost 5 and a total farm kid with the runny nose and dirty pants..eww. But he has this little kind of raspy voice and when he says things like " wanna watch me biking??" I just..oh man..so cute. When he is running away his feet pretty much hit his backside on every step. And Joel is 7 and has more than his share of freckles and really likes Katie and I. There are only boys in that family, so they usually spend more time around my sisters and I than the guys, or they just watch us. I've been called "he" and "him" by them because they don't know "she" and "her" !! Joel biked beside us while we 'ran' and told us where the wild dog was and what happened to the old shed and how fast he can go on his bike. Just cute. I love them.

Anyway...it's late. Goodnight!

Going to the ABA

Well...hairdressing is on my mind. Haha. I'm going to the Allied Beauty Association HAIR SHOW!!! In Toronto on Monday. I am so excited now-because I spent a long time reading about it on the internet today. Before I knew what it was about I was just worried about getting to Toronto without having a panic attack on the Train or something. Yikes..I hate traveling anywhere new alone. Actually, even when I'm not alone it can be bad.
My hands smell like Bounty...which is better than that black grease that was on my car's door handle, steering wheel and smeared into the material on the inside of the door. I was pretty put out about that, but I can't even complain about it to Dad because he and my brother worked on my car all morning-checking the breaks and fixing stuff--for free. So I just walked around the mall with black hands..eeww.
I finished the 30 hour famine tonight at 7:00 pm. It was absolute torture because I started at 12:30 instead of 1:00 on friday, so I could have eaten at 6:30, but I chose to wait until 7:00 when everyone was at the church for a mystery dinner...but they were late starting, and because you didn't know what you were ordering on the menu, I got 3 forks for an appetizer, then had to wait at least 20 minutes for the main course (a bun) Ouch..my tummy. Last time I did the famine I completely forgot about my stomach after about 6 hours and had no problems with it at all, but this time I was hungry the entire time. It only stopped while I was sleeping. And I noticed it every time I bent over or did anything faster than walking..like vacuuming...gotta vacuum!

I started at Marvel Beauty school today...
Mixed feelings about it. Actually, right now I'm pretty positive, but during the day I wasn't so sure. We'll wait and see thought, it's only been a day.
Beauty School drop-out lalallaaaa

I dreamt I had a baby last night. Not that I gave birth, but that I already had one. I've had a dream like it before..and honestly, the effects last for days. It was SO REAL. All day I've felt like someone is missing-that's how real it was. I think it's a motherly instinct...I definetly have a motherly instinct..haha. I'm proud of it..I really want to get married and have kids someday. And after a dream about actually having my own child, anytime soon would be fine with me. It was a boy. And not a new born in any way, I remember noticing that about it. Dreams are weird..don't you think?

I missed GBS tonight. (cries loudly) I really wanted to go...I've thought about it since the last one. Marlene had a migrane, and I was not feeling up to anything tonight until I had a drink. (oops..) (I don't do that often..just in case you were wondering.) So I decided right then I was going to stay home. But now I'm sad I missed it. It's probably better to get to school tomorrow alert and ready to learn, but I hate missing it. You miss a lot when you miss GBS. Isn't that true girls?

Well..I'm freezing.
Oh guess what! I got 3 mannequin heads to do hair on. They are so cool. Mine had greasy hair! isn't that so weird? I knew the hair was real human hair, but don't they wash it? Luckily that sort of thing doesn't bother me. I learned how to part the hair vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Pretty rough day eh? Hopefully we will have more to do tomorrow...the first day of the month is always crazy-as I'm told. The director, who everyone calls "miss" (??) has to photocopy calendars, and start the newbies (me!) and register people and there was a workshop on hair extensions today..really stressful;)

Ok, goodnight
