Where's Erika?

This is too funny! Sunday my mom and dad came over to watch the western final. After supper we were all sitting in the living room hangin out and chattin. Annika came in the room with a couple toys and was playing with them for a while. After a few minutes I noticed Erika was very quiet down at their end of the house, so I asked Annika, "What's Erika doing?" She answered so calmly, "She's cutting her hair."

We all looked at eachother, I get up and bolt down the hall to the bathroom, and there is Erika, in their bathroom standing on the stool at the sink cutting some of her hair!! There were a few long strands on the floor and just some little bits in the sink. You can't even tell she did it thank god! I cringe thinking what could have happened if I didn't get there when I did. We would have been visiting my hairdresser this week I think to fix it up. Oh boy.

Now whenever I think of this I think of when I was little and I cut all the whiskers off of my cat muffin. Even the whiskers above his eyes. I don't know how old I was but my mom says she walked in the room and muffin was just sitting there on my bed. She looked on my dresser and saw all the whiskers all lined up neatly in a row. Humans are so peculiar.

The Painting Bug

Well, we managed to fix up Erika's hole in her wall. It was a long process. We thought we could patch up the hole, then just put up wall paper up half the wall with a border. Well we tried everywhere we could think of in Leduc on Saturday, Rona, Walmart, Canadian Tire, Co-op, then finally Home Depot in Edmonton. No one had wall paper. Found a few borders. Anyways, then went to Benjamin Moore, lots of wallpaper, but you have to order it! Urrrrrggggg! I hate waiting for something!

Then we decided, let's just paint! Went to Co-op but the guy there said if he were us he would be scared to paint over the kind of walls we have in our mobile home. He said the paint might not stick. So we went home, with no paint, no wall paper, I was a little disappointed. Darren patched up the wall that afternoon.

Sunday I said 'screw it! Let's just paint! What could happen?' So that morning we headed back to Leduc, Co-op was closed, so we went to the friendly neighbourhood Rona to find paint. Woooowwwww! There was a lot of paint!!!

Anyways, we ended up choosing a pretty pale yellow and got her room painted that afternoon. It looks awesome!! I am so happy with how it turned out! Now I got the painting bug and I am thinking of painting our bathrooms. I will definately be going back to Rona!

I keep asking Annika if we should paint her room but she gets all panicky and says 'No! It's perfect! Don't paint my walls!' Too funny.

And now we have to really face the fact........ Belle is gone forever. Fare thee well. Fare thee well.

Finally!

Well it's been 8 months since I did this last. I cost me $100 this time! Got to say goodbye to old friends..... (my grey hair).

Yes I finally got my hair cut and dyed again. It needed it! But man I find that expensive! It took 2 hours so my hairdresser basically made $50 per hour. Maybe I should become a hairdresser!

Anyways, my hair now has shape again and I don't look like a hippie anymore! Thanks Jackie!!!
