spring time twitterpation
lisa said my hair looked different today. she said it looked less fuzzy. actually she said there was no fuzz at all. she wanted to know what i did differently and i didn't really know, except i didn't blow dry it as dry as i do sometimes. sure enough when i looked in the mirror later on i was having a good hair day with a fuzz factor of zero. we'll see if it can be replicated in the future. that is the true test. yesterday was a good contrast to today because i had a fuzz factor of 10. this was because yesterday was a run morning, and on those such days i don't wash my hair, just my bod/bawd, and put up my hair in the shower to keep it out of the shower streamage. however the morning dew of the run and the steam from the shower give me very soft curls but with the previously stated fuzz factor of 10.00. and that is that.
just got back from the great outdoors. when i was typing the above passage, karey came home and started putting together our new lawn mower. that's right lawn mower. this was true to my hopes and dreams for this afternoon because obvioulsy it's the perfect day for yard work. so i ran outside with joy in my heart and started raking the grass for her as she mowed. when she was done the backyard i volunteered to do the front yard. i never once mowed a lawn growing up because mowing the lawn was a 'brothers ' job. one time when we lived in fort mcmurray and we had a shortage of brothers at home mom almost made me mow the lawn but luckily for me on that day, because i was rebelious about it at the time, the mower was broken as it often was. so besides today i've mowed the lawn only one other time and that was when i was taking care of grampa and rene's place one summer. now a days i think mowing the lawn is great fun. it's so satisfying because it makes the yard look sooo much better and i take pride in our little house. we are working to make our house a home. :) (you should rad that last sentence in a geeky nasal voice) while i was mowing, karey started excavation on the front pathway that has been overgrown with grass and soil, and then heather came home and sat on the swing and talked to us. when i was all done i went with the momentum (see jawnny's new blog for a discussion on momentum) and washed my car. my car was in a bad way, but now she's sparkly, shiny and new.... climb aboard, we're expecting you! the love boat soon will be making another round... across the street our neighbour lady was working on her yard and i really wanted to say hi or something but i didn't get a chance. still it felt neighbourly to be working on our yards together. i did get a chance to say hi to a few passerbys though. sunshine in my soul... heather watered all out outside flower, and then came out on the front step to read her book in the sunshine. eveytime i ran in or through the house for something i grabbed a couple of strawberries from the huge flat on the table (i bought it on saturday and it doesn't fit in the fridge) and gobbled them up. strawberries = summer. karey's going to bbq some burgers on my hibatchi tonight and she said i can have one. wooopie!
since i've had success with facial exfoliation, i've been working on bawdy exfoliation, and i noticed some results today. softer and smoother and oh so nice. i've got to get me a back loofah, like polly's on Along Came Polly. that's my next goal.
last night i was just sitting down to eat some pizza and watch corner gas, which i hadn't seen in a long time because monday is not a tv night for me, and the doorbell rings. i answer it and who should it be but little jonathon our awkard but eager hometeacher. he just felt like he should come over, so he did. UNfortunately karey was walking around the house in her new velour track suit that she got from work. UNfortunately the bottoms were two sizes too small. we had a laugh about it earlier when she had tried them on, and she said she would wear them around the house just for some geeky fun. well jonathon happened upon the geeky fun and suddenly it was less fun for her. made me have a nice chuckle though. she retreated to the green chair and swathed her self in a blanket.
jonathon left after giving heather the opportunity to wrathfully spew out her inner angst and checking in on elicia's stress level. free again, i tidied my room. karey has let me set up her stereo in my room and this makes me happy. i put on chopin's ballads and took out sister wendy. and that's how i spent an enjoyable night contemplating sister wendy's favourite art and finding some new loves of my own. very peaceful and soul satisfying.
UNfortunate event: i knew when heather came upstairs to join us after jonathon arrived that she was in a bad mood. i could tell just from her body language. it reminded me of teenagers arriving for fhe or family prayer in the morning. so i was a little hesitant to say anything when i saw her drinking out of my green cup. i would have picked a different time to let her know that it is exclusively my cup and that it is basically the only cup i drink from at home, buuuuuuuuut i had no choice but to tell her at that exact moment because of the horrible fact that i had a ring of fire on face and that ring of fire had been in contact with that cup and no one with herpes simplex 1 wants anyone else to get herpes simples 1 ever in their lives. so i told her as gently as possible. well the effect was dramatic. she grabbed her mouth in horror and exclaimed "but i've been putting it on the ledge!" (the window ledge in the kitchen) it was denial. we ALL put our cups there. i pointed out to her that i do too. she was not very happy and said comments like she had to go burn her lips off now. i didn't take it personally and i felt bad for her. karey tried to be reassuring and told her that she had used my cup before and never got a cold sore. didn't seem to help. so later that night while i was closeted with sister wendy, she came up, much more at peace (she said she did some exercises in her room that katrina had taught her to get out the aggretion) and appologized for being so harsh. she said it was the other thing she was upset about, and not the possiblitie of herpes at all. i told her i wasn't offended at all, and i wasn't. i was in a peaceful zen mode. so that ended well and now i'm going to go get me a bbq-ed burger.
