The Gene Pool in Taber is JUUUUST Fine, thank you very much!

This blog title is for my good friend, who is obsessed with genetics right now(it literally has taken over his life, and I can't wait til it stops). He had the nerve to tell me the Gene Pool in Taber is not good.(He's really one to talk, Calgary Genes kind of blow) Can I just tell you that so many amazing athletes have come from Taber, and one product of Taber is JEFF PERRETT who plays football for Montreal, who in an VERY intense Grey Cup yesterday beat the Saskatchewan HICKS 28-27 with literally ZERO seconds left in the game! Oh man that was definately a nail biter. I didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing,



It was a very good game, and I'm happy that Montreal won for a few reasons, It was fun to support Jeff, AND the most important reason...because Saskatchewan lost and Carmelle would be pissed :)



#54 Is Jeff Perrett. Woooot wooooot buddy Good work!

----------------------------------------------------

I was a little happy to see that there were a few people who missed me while I was a blogging ghost! All I have to say is that I'M BACK! :) I really just took the last week to myself, hung out, turned off my phone for a good portion the time, and reflected on my life, and the things that I want to do with it in the future. I'm getting a good head start on my 2010 goals. :)

-------------------------------------------------------

**This is going to be an insane post, just so you know, I'm too lazy to create different posts, so I will be combining everything into one separated by these -------- things :) So please pay attention and follow along!

YESTERDAY at church was REDIC! Holy Cow. If it wasn't for the fact that I love my Bishopric I would have walked out of Priesthood/Relief Society so fast :) It was a lesson on dating. I used kmans note pad to take "notes" and draw pictures. Here is what I learned about dating...

Girls Boys
-WEAR MAKEUP Dress nicely
-Don't wear jeans Don't be cocky
-Say yes atleast once to a date Ask girls out
-Be nice Be a gentleman
**STOP HANGING OUT**

1st off-- Wear make up and look cute? Oh geez! I honestly don't know where to start with this advice I was given. I spent the better part of my time drawing a picture of "kman" asking "me" out <---- don't tell him thats what I drew, cause the girl drawing totally shut down the boy drawing. It was rad! :) I will dress nicely if I am there to impress a certain someone, but it takes a while to get ready...so unless I'm going somewhere nice, expect to see me in jeans, a hoodie, sneakers and/or SWEATS. I wore sweats, a hoodie, glasses, and my hair up to a "party" friday night and felt fine!

2nd off-- I can usually tell if I'm going to have a good time on a date, or if I want to date someone....so if I'm not feeling it(after having hung out and getting to know their personalities) and I just don't see us going anywhere I will say NO, I don't like wasting my own time, or that other persons time(and his money) A free meal is NOT worth it to me:) I have a job, I can buy my own meal thank you very much! I HAAAAAAAATE going on dates with guys I don't know. I'd rather hang out with a group and get to know their personality there, than when I'm alone, cause there's nothing MORE awkward than being alone with someone you have nothing in common with, and that doesn't talk!

3rd Off-- I like hanging out thank you very much. I am not interested in dating anyone right now, so if I didn't hang out(and others didn't like hanging out) then I'd spend all my time alone! I agree to the fact that maybe if you're hanging out with the SAME group for a long time you might wanna either pursue something with someone or move onto a new group. BUT geeez louise give us a break! Not all of us are ready to get married after a week of 'hanging' out.

Ok, Now I am off my soap box. Those are all the things I wanted to say yesterday, but kman kept my quiet! Thank goodness for that boy!

-----------------------------------------------

I'm looking for some volunteer opportunities this month, I've asked a few people if they'd be interested in serving dinner at a homeless shelter, or giving some other type of service and so far I've gotten good responses. If anyone wants to get in on things, I'll probably post them on my blog, so if any of you are willing to help out. The more the merrier.

---------------------------------------------------

I have the presidency message for December, and I'm excited. I have so many things running thru my mind right now, that it will be hard to put it down on paper, but believe you me. I'm excited! ANNNNNNND it will be something Christmas'y' :)

FYI

Dear Fellow Bloggers/blog readers;

Please do not be alarmed if you do not hear from me for a while. I may or may not be taking a blog break.


I am going into hermitville and will probably have nothing to blog about.


I will be back! I promise

Preference.....

Ok so here are some pictures, they're not fantastic by any means, and I didn't get any of T-boy and I at the dance, but i got some of us ice blocking....

Pretty much we did exactly what I said....however, I was an hour late in picking up Troy, which resulted in us being UBER late in getting to the dinner, then we spent a good chunk of time ice blocking, then played some card games at Bri's house, and finished off the night at the gym.

I'm not too sure why I was just so eager to blog about this, now I realize it's probably a super boring post, and the pics really aren't that good. I think I'm just happy to have pics on my blog from now on!











There are just a few. There's more on my facebook, but blogger is taking too long to download them so this is all you get!

<3

Opinion......

Alright! So...this is pretty much where I air my dirty laundry! So, here is some more dirty clothing for the rest of the internet to see!

I suck with saving money. I rock at spending money... This = NO GOOD! errrrr....

Do I get a part time night time job(serving/gym/fabutan) or something to support my spending habits, OR do I just crack down and make a really good budget and stick to it like theres no tomorrow?

**Sidenote** I make alot more money than I probably should.... It's not like I only make like $14 an hour or something....I make good money, and I still suck. Ugh.

I've had more than one lecture from my dad, about how saving is important, and it might not seem like it now, but 25 years isn't that long away, and if I want to retire then I need to get serious now. :(. I am not a serious person.

The only thing that would take a hit from getting a part time job would be my gym time schedule. HOWEVER, I work well under pressure. If I know I work 3 nights a week, you better believe the other 4 nights will be spent at the gym.

.Calgary is a bit boring right now, I've been a hermit lately. So, instead of complaining about it, I'll just get another job so that I can afford to keep my hefty spending habits AND go away all the time.


...This is purely selfish... All for me...Every last penny... I don't need another job, and I'm sure if I budgeted my money properly...I'd be rich.


Do I get a part time job? Or don't I? That is the question!

----------------------------------------

Do you know all the cool things I could do with more money? I could go on more exotic trips, more trips to see old friends, I could BUY more stuff for myself, I could potentially own a house alot faster, OR I could even save most of it :)


Like I said. Purely SELFISH :)

Thats how I roll


<3

Coming Soon.....

This is not normal for me I know..... errrr

It's Tuesday, and I usually blog about my weekend Mondays, I didn't put my pictures on my computer til last night...and I REFUSE to blog about preference without my pictures, so I will do that tonight after the gym!


I know you're all dying to know how it went, and if anyone died ice blocking....


................To be Continued..........................

I'm inlove with a SEVENTEEN year old :)

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHH haha ok, so everyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Twilight! Last year I went to twilight opening night with my friends down in UTAH! We wore shirts, we screamed like little girls when Edward walked in. Natrually, I was going to be first inline to see it opening night this year when New Moon came out. I bought my tickets a MONTH ago for tonight at 10:30. I was soooo excited...Then I find out preference is on this night, and I HAVE to go, cause Mandy asked someone(Sidenote**Mandy is NOT going tonight ha ha) errrr OH well.... Saren and I came to terms we probably wouldn't be able to see New Moon til sometime NEXT week...UGH! Kill me NOW. BUT. Briana called me yesterday saying that Westhills has tickets avaliable do I wanna GO PREEEEEEEEEEE SEE it... HELL YAH. I do. I call Saren, she gets tickets WE ALL go to see New Moon last night. It rocked. I'm definately team JACOB now. Just cause he's hot. Edward. Not impressed with "HIM" still love his character. I loved this movie so much, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say I will be seeing it again in theatre.

-----------------------------
Troy told me I'm not allowed to talk about it. He thinks I'm lame. Tonight might be a little lame compared to last night! Just Sayin' :)
-----------------------------

It toooooooook me forever and a DAY to find 10 blocks of ice for tonight. BUT I prevailed. They're in the deep freeze at the church right now.(I hope no one else steals them)-- Ha could you imagine. OYI!


Today, just needs to be over PRONTO :)



<3

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

I'm a little excited for Preference.....

Errrrr must be something in the air!

--------------- OR the fact that I'm incharge of the predate and I have to get everyone else pumped!

I need to find blocks of Ice.....I'm so excited for the pictures that are going to come out of this night :)


Stay tuned!

What I wanna be when I grow up!

I wanna be a philanthropist(I even googled the spelling) ha ha! I really wanna find someone that I believe it, and that I'm passionate about and create a foundation or help support it. I would love to do something along with the humanitarian efforts of the church(Another reason this Church is AMAZING). Our church has a fantastic program that helps with relief all over the world. I would love to be apart of that full time. I would love to work down on the Humanitarian square thats apart of Temple Square and making school packages for kids in Africa and TAKE them to them. How fun would that be.

I know that I can't do alot right now, but I can start by giving a little extra to the humanitarian fund, and I can collect things, but right now with a full time job and not alot of extra time it's hard. I'm pretty sure it won't be easier for me to find time once I have a family, and kids. But I just feel like this is something I want to devote the rest of my life too.

If anyone knows of any foundations or organizations like this one, I'd love to be apart of it, and who knows maybe one day in the next few years I'll be able to travel and bring humanitarian relief to those around the world.

Surprise Trip to Taber......

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to drive down to Taber for a couple Dr's appointments. <--- once I know more about whats going on, I'll be sure to fill in my 3 faithful readers) :) But, I decided to go down early and surprise my ALL TIME fave seminary/insitute teacher Steve Scott. I love this guy so much! He's freakin rad, his wife is even radder(word?) and his kids are just the loves of my life! They have 4 boys. Britton(8) Braxsen(7) Brysen (5) and Benson (2.5) LOOOOOOOOVE them, and they love me.(I'll upload pics of them when I get a chance)

**SIDENOTE** I got my camera back and so my blog will get more entertaining...check back to old posts cause I will post pictures in other posts too, to make it bettter :)**

Anyways, so I got to attend seminary yesterday! The kids in Taber are seriously ROCKSTARS! They're so freakin cool! I attended two classes, and in one class I played football, and got to show off some of my intense football skill(thanks Troy/Kyle) you made me look WICKED! :) Anyways, There are 78 enrolled member students and THIRTEEN non members enrolled in seminary this year! They are on a fire with missionary work in Taber, and I couldn't be prouder! Back when I was in highschool Elder Russell M Nelson of the 12 Apostles came to our stake to re-organize our stake presidency and he spoke of the famine re: missionary work in Taber due to some circumstance that were not of our control, and that as we were dilligent in keeping the commandments that Taber would open up in the missionary pool, and we would be seeing great success. As a student we tried to pick it up and help this prophecy be fulfilled, but this is a testimony that it is in the Lords time, 5 years later here we are with a HUGE number of students at the highschool taking seminary, The Lord works in mysterious ways. I am so grateful for that Apostolic blessing 5 years ago. They've also opened up another missionary companionship in Taber, there hasn't been two since I was in highschool.


The New Era(a church publication) got ahold of the AMAZING work that is being done in Taber by these seminary students and so someone is coming to do a story on them Dec 3rd and it will be featured in the 2010 monthly issue. How cool is that? The tiny town of Taber has literally gone leaps and bounds since I was in highschool. I am so proud to be from TABER!!!!

Why can't everyone just be friends.

So I've seen this happen alot lately with me, and even with people around me and I just wanna get some clarification if this is just people I know it happens to, or if it happens to everyone else.

So Person A is friends with Person B and C but Friends B and C aren't friends with each other, and Person A tries REALLY hard to have Person B and C be friends then ONNNNNNNNE day something clicks; B and C become WAY good friends and then they FORGET about Person A.<--- did all that just make sense. Ok, so Now I've been Person A before, and then I've also been Person B/C. As person B/C I've never TRIED to not be nice to person A, but it seems like whenever I try and get two of my friends to be friends they always decide they end up liking each other more than me. hmmm haha! Who knows what the deal is. I feel like I'm person A alot more than I'm either of the other ones. I have lots of friends, and so I want all my friends to be friends, so we can all hang out( WORLD PEACE) haha But somehow in the end I get left out like a sack of rotten potatoes... errrrr...

Does this happen to anyone else?

Elder Richard G Scott--FIRESIDE!

Oh man, I totally forgot about this. Friday night was AWESOME! So I had a meeting at 5 at the church so I just decided to stay at the church and get good seats--good seats I got :) I saved them for my friends, and it was awesome! I colored while I waited for Chels in traffic, and for T-boy who is the slowest of slow pokes(Congrats on him getting his car back from the hospital:)) ha ha! I had coloring books, and an activity book, crayons, and treats all lined up! T-boy got there, and we chatted, he watched me color, we played games on our phone, and had a wicked brother/sister bonding moment! I was so excited for him to be there with me. He's not into the whole "churchie" thing, and I'm really trying to be a good example to him(I don't think it's working, but I will prevail:)) He's such a good kid, he just struggles! I love to death! ANYWAYS!

Elder Scott walks in--He's alot shorter than I thought he would be--He was alot older looking than I thought he would be--He's an AMAZING man, who gave wonderful insight. We were able to have a question and answer period where we could ask him questions and he would give us answers. He told us to listen to the spirit, not what he was saying :) I learned alot that night from the spirit! I was pretty eager to know what T-boy thought, When I asked him he said "ew, lachele I smell like crayon" and "Wow,sis....Kman and I are like the hottest guys here" errrrrr Not excatly what I was looking for but we'll work on it!

I had such an amazing experience with my brother last night, and I'm so thankful for those small teaching opportunities I just hope he got as much out of it as I did. Every morning I will read A scripture to him :) A scripture a DAY keeps Satan AWAY :) haha <--- did you like that? I thought of it :)

<3

BDTS Part..........whatever....

I don't even remember what part this would be......

This kid just is ALWAYS around...

He saw Kyle Friday and told Kman he was coming to football saturday--you'd think Kyle would be loyal to me and give me the heads up... WRONG. He likes to see me suffer awkward encounters. JERK :)(No grudges ha ha)

I'm putting my shoes on Saturday and who do I see walk up... BDTS. errrr. No fair.

After we had been playing for a while, I was doing pretty well, catching passes and all... when DAN CLAYTON ladies and gentlemen gave me a compliment(I know right) I have to document it, cause it will never happen EVER again! He said I'm the only girl that he's played with, that can play...

**I've never played football before I started playing a few months ago** I don't know how I'm good, but I guess I don't suck....

BDTS: Thats impressive you caught the ball looking into the sun, WITHOUT sunglasses...

HAHA, is it mean that I make fun of EVERYTHING he says. He's always trying to flatter me, but I just don't buy it. HA!

.Troy thought it was funny, and proceeded to make fun of me for the remainder of football.

Oh, I think I'm retiring from football for the season. See ya next year Football, now I can do something productive with my Saturdays :) This week it's off to the TEMPLE :)

Just Call me Preference Pixie

Oh ya! haha, so we all know I'm not a HUGE fan of preference, my last few years have been redic..to say the least! Well last year wasn't TOO bad, but the year before was brutal man! This year I'm excited! SOOOOOOO excited that I asked a boy! T-boy! haha I am so excited I'm going to preference with T-boy, just cause he's so funny, and we always have a good time! Yesterday, I got the bright idea to ask EVERY guy in the ward if he'd been asked, and if not I'd put his name on a list THEN I'd sell them to the girls in my Relief Society. BRILLIANT right?! RIIIIIIIIIGHT!

For my own bragging and my own boasting I'm just going to let everyone know I set up an extra four couples yesterday!(With the help of Kman...kind of) <--- story about kman later. But it's going to be so much fun. I invited any girls who asked a guy out off my list to come on the date with T-boy and I. Little did I know that it was going to go from a date, to a group activity. Sorry T-boy, I know how excited you were to go out with me. It's just for a little while tho :) It's going to be so much fun. I don't really know the other girls,so it will be way fun to get to know them better.

So, the preference pre date is as follows-- We're meeting at 6 for $4 dinner. Each person gets 4 dollars and gets to go buy whatever they want to contribute to a dinner, then we'll put all the food together, and eat it on nice plates and what not. We'll go to Paintballing at 7:30 then the dance at 10. There might be a slight change on the activity, we might go iceblocking instead of paintballing... I heard from a very reputable source(Kman) that T-boy will be sad if we don't go paintballing, I'll have to let him down gently!



<3

Mind Reader

Well either BDTS is a mind reader....picking up what I'm putting down OR it just didn't frost last night. Cause I went out to my jeep at 7 this morning and there was no frost to be seen!

If he did clean them off....he got EVERY last ounce off :) haaaaaaaaaa


**side note** I was up at 5:30 this morning.... WHY? Idk......

**Another side note** Tonight there is a fireside with Elder Scott from the Quorm of the 12. WOOOHOO! I'm going right after work to get some wicked seats for Troy and I. I even brought treats, and a coloring book for us while we wait!-- I'll probably update tomorrow with the events of tonight. He's up here doing some negotiating for the Temple, last time an Apostle was here for that we had a special stake conference and it was PRESIDENT EYRING! I love that man!! I got to the chapel at 7 am and had front row seats:) The things I do to be close to the servants of the Lord -- I shower at 5:30 and I sit at the church for two hours prior to the start of the fireside for sweet seats!



<3

Out to Lunch!

Now, everytime something funny happens to me I automatically say " This will get a blog post" so now everything gets a blogpost nowadays! :) Trish, Sarah and I went to the Lazy Loaf for lunch today, and it was DELISH! mmmm sooo good. I got the sandwhich and salad combo and it was devine :) It's a pretty small place, so its always usually pretty hard to find a place to sit. We ended up pulling apart a double table from a mother and her small child. While we were waiting for our lunch we were listening to this little girls conversation with her mother. It was pretty cute! I looked over at her and smiled so she said hi to me.

LG-Hiiiiiiiiiiiii*with a big cheesey grin*
Me- Oh hi, how are you?
LG- dooood, I'm doood
Me- Whats your name?
LG- Rinnlie(I have a friend who's adorable daughters name is Rinnlie)
Me- I'm lachele...

**little girl to her mom** -- Mom, MOM their strangers!!!

haha sooo funny, this little girl was super cute!

Me- Good girl, you don't want to talk to strangers
Girls Mom- But she's a good stranger
LG- ohhhhhhhh ok....so I'm not in trouble?
GM- No honey

** I make a funny face at the little girl **

LG- MOOOOOOOOOM she has a funny looking face

HAHA! All of us busted out laughing, She was super cute!



I love random moments like this, they make me smile. I hope my kids are as cute, and tender as this little girl. She was pretty funny!


<3

Just a THOUGHT!

Dear BDTS;


If you liked me as much as you claim you do... You'd make sure all the frost was scraped off my jeep windows prior to my departure to work.


Just a thought


Sincerely;
Lach

Remeberance Day

I've never really been a history person, but I just wanted to say how thankful I am to those who've sacrficed their lives for their countries. Who've fought bravely for freedom throughout the world.

As I learn more about my family on both sides I realize that family members of mine have played a big part in the Wars. I don't know many of the details, but I know my Grandpa Wickens was very involved and he served honourbly and faithfully for his country. That is a legacy I'm grateful to be apart of. To have come from such an amazing man.

When I got my patrichal blessing when I was 16 my Patriach had known my family and told me a story about my great grandfather serving in the war. Before he left for war he was given a blessing that if he lived faithful to his covenants that he would come home, and as he lived faithful to the covenants he made to my great grandma, etc he returned home from war. How amazing is that! I love hearing stories like that..

My new goal is to learn more about those who've passed before me.

I also, would love to give a shout out right now to those who are fighting right now all over the world. You inspire me to be a better person. I pray for your families and for your safe return. I don't know MANY people that are in the Army, etc but I do know enough of them.


<3

P.S.I Thursday!

Ok, Ok, OK I Know I should have blogged yesterday but 1. I forgot, and 2. I had the day off so I was out playing football yesterday :)


Here is my PSI for this week...... my LAUGH! I laugh all the time, at people, with people, to get out of awkward situations... I have a million laughs too. One of my FAVE things ever is laughing with friends. You know those gut wrenching belly laughs where your face turns red and you can BARELY squeeze in a breath...ahhh I wish I wasn't working right now soo I could laugh! :)

What is something you love about yourself this weeeeeek?


<3

Made my DAAAAAAAY

So, last week I was having a BLAH week, I wasn't happy, or sad I was just 'there' if that makes sense. One of the super cute girls that I work with asked me WHAT IN THE WORLD would make me REALLY happy :) Usually, when I'm having a crisis I turn to blue gatorade and kinder-surprises. I love the surprises, and I love the chocolate :) PERFECT!

So, I was sitting at my desk doing a little bit of work, and WAM BAM I get a present on my desk. Not ONE, not TWO buuuuuuuuut THREE kinder surprises :) awww totally made my day!

Thanks Darsh, you're so cute!

<3


I think I'm going to go do something nice for someone right now :)


Who isn't in the Christmas spirit yet? Can I just tell you that I AM in the christmas spirit. I've got some fun things up my sleeves for christmas, for my visiting teaching girls, AND for my presidency message in Dec(this is the 2nd christmas in a row that I've had the change to teach the christmas presidency message! I'm excited)

Memory Lane

I was reminded of a tender moment when I was little today, and I literally dropped everything I was doing so I could blog about it so I never forget it ever again!

Growing up we always lived within two blocks of my dad's shop and he would ride his bike to work everyday, when I was still pretty little I was allowed to walk/ride my bike down to the end of the street and ride home with him when he was on his way home from work, as I got older I would ride straight to the shop and meet him and my grandpa everyday at 5. We'd ride home, and I'd tell my dad about my day :) It was always so fun. I'm going home next week during the week for a dr's appt and my mom asked me if I'd be around for dinner still and if he should tell my dad I was coming home, and I said yup tell him I'll be around for dinner... and I said I'd walk to the shop so that I could drive home with him, and my mom reminded me of how I use to ride my bike to meet him.

Ahhhhh the life of a child. I wish I was still my mom and dad's little girl :)

<3

Did I just bite off more than I can chew?

Well, we all know that sometimes I get crazy ideas.... REALLY CRAZY IDEAS.... remember my friend who's getting married? The one who asked if I'd get certified online to marry her and her fiance? WELL she told me that she needed someone to make wedding cupcakes for her wedding(and since I've helped with pretty much everything from decorating tips, to wedding songs, to ideas for center pieces) I'm kind of the wedding go to girl around here, since I've been to 235434654654665476 weddings :) Literally ha!

Well I got this BRIGHT idea that IIIIIIIIII, Lachele Daisy Louise Wickens could do 60 wedding cupcakes. How hard could making 60 cupcakes and decorating them be? Well, HA I'm not sure if she was just humoring me by saying I could do it, or if she was being serious, but she said YES.... I'm kind of freaking out. Her wedding is in Dec. I'm going to practice.... Wednesday maybe....

Ok, this is funny for SOOOOOOOOO MANY REASONS.

.I'm not really creative.
..I don't really have the attention span to do a good job on ALL 60 cupcakes(Maybe 20)..
...I have really no artistic ablity whatsoever :)...
....I get really excited and gung-ho on an idea, but then it always fizzles out....

What if I mess up?

---I can't even really bake a cake, let alone bake cupcakes AND decorate them---

BUT REALLY

How hard can it AAAAAAACTUALLY be?

This should be fun.... I hope C doesn't end up hating me if I do a bad job. I wish I was more creative. I told someone once that I like to "re finish" things, but I've never done it before....it looks like fun... but I don't know if I have the proper attention span to complete it PROPERLY. Thats my big problem, is that I don't complete things properly. I just do a half ass job at the end of the day to finish it :) Ask my dad about the bird house, and cat scratchers I tried to make once....and I'm sure my YW scrapbook speaks for itself, oh ya and all my Textiles projects in highschool :)

Ha. Question is.. Do I take the challenge? Or do I back down and accept defeat? Who knows I very well could be the BEST cupcake decorator in Canada... Move over CAKE BOSS.... we got the CUPCAKE GURU... I can picture it now. Martha Stewart will be calling me for advice. :) I could make millions!


Maybe we'll see how the test cakes go, THEN we'll talk. I'll be sure to update you on this task :)

Sunday Night Trip to Emerg.....

:) Well.... I supose you'd like to know WHY I went to Emerg on a Sunday! Well... I'll tell you. I was minding my own business yesterday just napping and I hear huge HUGE commotion and banging coming by the stairs. I live with the most accident prone person in the City of Calgary, she's a nice girl.... I don't really know her...but she's a clutz... She fell UP the stairs, and stubbed her toe on a box on the stairs.

1st- She had no reason to be going up the stairs the only thing that is upstairs are my bedroom and my other roomates room, so she had no business being up there.

2nd- she tripped UP the stairs.

3rd- She made me investigate her toe, I had a hard time keeping a straight face inbetween the moaning, and the groaning that she was doing. HA. She stubbed her toe, and ripped the toenail part off... I told her to put some ice on it, elevate it and take some advil...

20 minutes later........

L- I think I really need to go to the hospital, will you take me please...
Me- Are you kidding me? They won't do anything for you...
L- I REALLY just need to go....
Me- Alright...

** I go get changed, then I tell our other roomate where we were going...oyi! We call L's brother..he comes(really) errrrrr alright **

I go pull my jeep around front and shes waiting outside with CRUTCHES! Oh man, I died laughing(you all might think I'm rude, and unsympathetic, but thats not the case) she was milkin' it for all it was worth! And I don't buy it :) We drive to the hospital.... I drop them off and go to my friends....

I get home later that night...
Ask what the damage was........ She sprained her big toe, is off work for a WEEK, and got heavy duty pain killers.

** Maybe I should take some tips from her, I could use a week off work **

BDTS Part III

Haa.... I thought I was done with BDTS, guess not! So I totally forgot to blog about this until one of my friends was reading my other posts on him, and totally reminded me I have a part 3, that took place last friday night. Man, I love the awkward situations in my life. errrr. NOT!

Ok, so I went to that YSA activity for a bit with Mandy, Ju and Marinda... and we walked in and who was the first person I see? BDTS! Ugh, great He's not supose to be there...he's married(or going thru a divorce...whoops, did I mention that part. Well if not, he is ick) Anyways, so we clearly make eye contact and instead of being the ho that I am, I said hello.... HA! Big mistake!

BDTS:Wow, hey you! I haven't seen you in a while...
Me:Nope, I've been busy, how are you?
BDTS: Good..now that you're here...
----Gag me----
BDTS: So, do you still play football?
Me: Yup every saturday, are you coming tomorrow.
BDTS: Well if you'll be there, then yah I'm there ;)(then he was complimenting my football skill again... ha ha oh man)
Me: perfect
**I see a girl and commented on her costume, we struck up a convo, then she started talking to him and I BOLTED** GO ME!

------------ a little while later -------------------
after avoiding him for the better part of the rest of that 45 minutes I was there... he was standing by a friend of mine, and he said my name(but it was the wrong name) so I never answered. I was sitting on a chair and he......
BDTS(kneels down to eye level with me) I need to apologize to you...
Me: Why?
BDTS: cause I called you by the wrong name...
Me: Oh thats cool, I answer to anything that ends in Chelle.....
BDTS: No, it's not ok, a woman of your standard should be called by her proper name.

----- Mandy grabs me, and we leave..... LAUGHING our heads off-------

Is he for real? UGH! Troy thought it was pretty funny when I told him. errrrr :)

I hope ya'll got a good laugh outta that one, He never did show up to football, so we'll see if he comes tomorrow!

200 mile update!

Welllllll it's not 200 miles to go anymore. It's 192 :) Thats right I ran 8 miles since we've started and boy let me tell you...it's hard work!

I was doing soooo well at running this time last year, and while I was training for my triathlon, but during the summer I stopped running as much, and I was just starting again in sept/oct. Well the last two weeks I've been sick(ps I go for my seasonal flu shot monday, be prepared for more whining cause I'll be sick :() But I had no energy to go to the gym, so I didn't. Last night was my first full workout since I have been sick and it was like I haven't been to the gym in a YEAR! It was awful. I made it thru last night, and I will make it thru tonight. I've got a stake RS Presidency meeting tonight but I fully plan on running tonight. And I've planned on going to the gym everyday except Sunday. That will be my rest day. I've been really trying hard to watch what I eat, but lets be honest it's just after halloween so sometimes I find myself snacking. I'm trying to stop :) Anyways wish me luck!


************************

This has nothing to do with working out, but lately I've been going to bed early and getting a full nights sleep, but I still an exausted by the time I take my lunch, so much that I actually have to take a mid afternoon nap at 1. Now, I went to give blood a few weeks ago and was turned away because my iron was really low, so I'm thinking I just need to take some iron pills, and maybe a multivitamin, but does anyone else have any other suggestions for me? I'm getting sick of always being tired.

Bet you thought I forgot..... PSI WEDDDDDNESDAY!

Ok, so I almost did forget for the second week in a row, but I was looking thru my blog and saw my PSI from last week. Sooooooooo.....

**Drum Rolllllllll PLEASE**

Ok, so one thing I love about myself is my sense of humor, and my sarcasm. I can honestly make the best out of any situation, and I can totally turn awkward situations into nothing. One thing I love about myself is my ability to turn awkward situations off of other people(aka shy people, people no one knows, etc) and turn them on to me, and most of the time I'm around people I know, and they totally know this about me and they just totally go along with it. I think that means I kind of like to be the center of attention at any cost:) Oh well!


I didn't get any PSI's from anyone last week, and I know people read my blog, so please PLEASE if you are reading this I challenge you to comment, even if I don't know you, I wanna know what you like about yourself! I'll be very sad if no one comments cause then that means no one actually reads my blog :)

Is It Weird......

....that I'm 23 and contemplating a mission......

**No this isn't an annoucement**

.I thought about going on a mission when I was 21, and 22... and I just never did. Things came up, I had a job, I had bills to pay. I had a Jeep payment, I have student loans.

..Well, all of these(minus the job part..I hope) will all becoming to an end in about a year and a half, maybe two years.. I'll be almost 26. Is that too late to go on a mission? I'm assuming that in the next year and a half I will not have been swept off my feet by my prince charming, so then what? I'll be completely debt free, I'll have ZERO obligations, What is left for me to do, cause lets be honest! I'd probably be retired right now if I didn't have so many financial obligations(Ok, so I wouldn't be, but it's fun to think about). I have a few options.

.Option 1. I could very well go on a mission at 26. Age isn't really anything other than a number right? So what if all my friends are married with kids now, and I'm just taking myself off the market for 18 months. hmmmm

.Option 2. I could go back to school, rack up that debt again, and hope that someone will marry me with the tens of thousands of dollars in loans racked up again...hmmm

.Option 3. I can keep working where I'm at, in hopes to advance with the AHS, save my money, buy a house and travel. 26 is still young, It'd be fun! hmmmm

Ok, so I guess I'll weigh my options for the next 18 months, see where I'm at. Ya'll could very well be calling me "Sister Wickens" or "Dr. Wickens" or "Jet-setter Wickens" in the near future :) I'll keep ya posted!

Why?

**There's a million and 1 posts today**

When one of my friends is about to do something drastic(like cutting oh idk, 8 inches off her hair) and I don't think it'd look good. I'd probably encourage her to cut 4 off, and work her way up.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME NOT TO CUT MY HAIR!

I've been looking at pictures of myself over the last 6 months or so, and I HATE them all. Why didn't anyone tell me I had amazingly gorgeous long hair, and not to cut it. I miss my long hair, and right now it's in that awkward short/medium stage where I could put in my extensions but it would totally look sick and fake. UGH! I need my hair to grow now.

Sorry, I was just having a pity party, I also need to get back to the gym, and start tanning again....

Good thing I've started being a hermit again :)

Preference......

I hate preference..... preference SUCKS! I've had bad experiences with preference.....

I boycotted preference this year...or so I thought. I was just going to do NOTHING! but then Mandy the little sneaky creep that she is decided to ask one of our good friends Shawn from Edmonton. So Mandy had a date. I didn't... I didn't know if I wanted one. So I told T-boy if I end up going to preference, he was my date. I didn't really think much of it and saturday he asked me if I was serious. Well if I said no then that'd make him feel bad, and it'd give free reign for any other girl to ask him,and if I decided I wanted to go then I'd have to ask someone else. If I said yes, then I made a solid commitment to go. hmmmmm Needless to say.. I'm going to preference with Troy, and it's going to be FUN!

Last year I went with my friend Bryce, it was really fun, it was on halloween so we dressed up.. had a spooky halloween dinner at my girl Alida's, and had a blast at the dance, I really lucked out last year with going with such a good friend. The year before I wasn't go lucky. My way good friend Harrison had a roomate who was kind of a nerd. He hadn't been asked and was pretty sad about not being asked, and I wasn't planning on going, so I just asked him randomly. The poor kid was so awkward. For the longest time I couldn't find him, then Harrison found him SLEEPING on a back table at 10:30. Poor kid was tuckered out, and I must have been a boring date, We had a breakfast themed group date before which was fun. But the actual dance part was pretty awful.

I need to plan a pre-dance date for T-boy and I. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe something that one other couple could join in. Something different from dinner...or the typical? Anyways if anyone has any ideas let me know, if not I'll keep you posted. It's an enchanted theme(aka winter wonderland) and it's formal. Ugh.... :)

200 Mile Race!

It sounds worse than what it is....

Troy and I decided we needed to get in shape, and stay in shape. I suggested we have a race to see who can run 200 miles first. :) First one to reach 200 miles wins. Well Troy hates running, so he just wants to do sprints. I HATE sprints....so needless to say we will NOT be each other motivations--although he's keeping me on my toes :) Thanks! But now I really wanna have a 200 mile race. So I've got a few friends involved in this, and it's going to be fun. Each night(however often you want to) We're going to run so many miles, and we'll just subtract the miles off 200 til we reach ZERO, whoever gets to zero first wins.

I've started this with my friend Ash in Rexburg.... Tonight I'm going to go run 5 miles, so I'll only have 195 to go, and if Ash runs 10 tonight she'll be at 190. Get the drift, Anyways it's going to be super fun! Anyone who wants to join is more than welcome. I'll do it with anyone who wants to do it. ANNNNND whoever doesn't get to 200 first has to go on a roadtrip to see the other one. If I win, I'll be driving to to Sexy Rexy for a weekend of fun and OTH with Ash, and if I win, she'll be comin up to CANADAAAAAAAAAA :) It's really a win win situation, and with the new found budget my sweet little brother put me on, I'll have alot of money saved up to do some serious shopping :)

Let me know if you're interested

Big Halloween Let-doooooown

So, I thought I was feeling pretty good by friday, so I decided I was going to parrrtay! Yah right! I wasn't feeling good at all, and I pushed myself, and it was just no fun. Word to the WISE..if you're sick stay home..yah..Thank You Captain Obvious over here! :) Friday night was a let down.... We didn't do much.


Saturday I thought I was feeling better, so I decided I would go play football with my friends. Football was fun--it always is-- but I definately was feeling it after. I went home took a nap, showered and went over to Mandys to get ready for the halloween party with her and Marinda...but by the time I got ready, I wasn't feeling like going to a dance party, so I called it quits, went over to T-boys, and laid around all night while I got party updates from my friends..and you know what? I'm not sad I didn't go-- I had fun with him.

That was my weekend, not much to blog about but whatev.. all I can say is, it's a good thing I wore my tutu to work friday, or else T-boy would have had a bumble bee chillin on his couch :)
