I've blogged alot in the last few minutes.
Three times to be exact.
I've always been jealous of beautiful people. I've never really considered myself a 'beautiful people'.
Just haven't. My girlfriends-Diana,Jaylene,Layla,Stacey,Alida,Mandy,Marinda.
Now those are beautiful people.
I get told I'm pretty all the time. I never believe them. We finally figured out why.
It's kind of silly.
So Diana, is awesome. She's my latin lover(but not my lover for real) She's seriously just the best person for me to talk to, and hang out with. She's amazing. She sat me down the other day when I was having a 'wo is me day'
I was complaining about something(as usual)
She was like you have perfect- hair, teeth, smile, skin, clothes. What is there to not like?
Then I'd go off about how so and so posted these pictures of fb, and I look horrible.
She asked me. When you look in the mirror do you think you're pretty. I said yes. Cause well I do. I realized I spend ALOT of time starring at myself in mirrors. I do. It's kind of insane how much I look at myself.
She told me what my problem was. Why didn't anyone else feel the need to tell me this over the last 25 years?
I'm just unphotogenic. ha.
I can see it now. That's my problem. No need to complain. You're probably thinking I complain because I'm digging for compliments. But if you know me, you know that's NOT true. I just tell someone I want them to say I look hott today. They do it to humor me. ha. I average about 2-100 pic that I actually like of myself. So I guess when I look at pictures of myself and hate them, I think that's what everyone else sees when they look at me. But they don't.
I should have figured this out before. I have a friend. I think he's way hott. He takes HORRIBLE pictures. Pictures worse than mine. I'm almost embarassed of half of the ones that we've taken together. Not because of me, but because of him. I guess sometimes pretty people can still be unphotogenic(that sounded wicked snobby) that wasn't my intent. I guess I just wanted to share what I learned this week...because I actually thought it was borderline hilarious.
Thanks Diana. I love you!

disappointment.
I'm slightly disappointed.
Today I got all dressed up in my halloween costume. A beautiful little bumble bee.
I put on my tutu, my black shirt, and my gold glittery wings. I rocked the gold makeup.
Went to work. Brought a box of candy for people who dressed up. Almost everyone in my dept dressed up. We had spiderman, zelda, a pregnant nun, the prettiest bumble bee EVER, a couple witches, etc. I was giving out mad candy in my dept. I went down to a few other depts to hand out candy slightly uneasy that I might not have any left.
But.....
NO ONE ELSE DRESSED UP! How boring. Geez. Just because you're a doctor doesn't mean you can't dress like a fool to lighten the mood one day of the year. Oh wait. Thank you Dr.B for wearing the chicken on your head.
Needless to say I have alot of Chocolate left over and let me tell you...it's NOT coming home with me.
Tonight is the BIG halloween party. All the girls are getting ready together. I'm getting some even crazier make up done. I'm stoked. I need to find my camera. I may or may not try to post pictures sometime in the near future.
I'm excited to go trick or treating Sunday with Ruthie. She's going to be a fairy. She's so bloody cute. I just love that little beauty.
Have fun trick or treating... I know I will.

It's all but a small moment.
It's almost the end of 2010.
Can I say thank goodness...and get an AMEN?
Cause seriously. This has been one tough year. I feel like I've said that ever year since 2006. *For those of you who know me, know that, that was one hell of a year*
I wanted to stab out my eyes.
I questioned why I was alive on the earth(in a non sucidal way. Promise.)
I had very valid reasoning.
I'm alive and I know it was because I have a work to do.
I did a great work from Feb2007-Jan 2010
I couldn't have been anymore blessed.
This was suppose to have been a transition year for me. A year where I was letting go of the old and broken, and welcoming the new and improved.
Well. That didn't really happen. So maybe this year will be my new transition year. Yikes. 25. I'm going to be 25. It's just an age. I have a good group of girl friends that are 24-26. All single. All career woman. All happy. They keep me sane! Thank you ladies. I <3 you.
I'm so grateful for the saying...this shall be but a small moment, and if you endure it well, you will be blessed. These past few months have been long in the moment, but I know looking back they will be but a small fraction of time.
Sometimes I have to laugh at myself. I never envisioned my life turning out like this. Honestly. I thought I'd be like every other little mormon girl. Married with babies by 21. I'm glad I didn't turn out like that, I've done so many fun things in the last 4 years. I've been tested alot on the last 4 years however right about now I could use a little slack. ;)
I think I'm finally starting to catch my break. I couldn't be happier.
I've looked back/read thru old journals. Things were rough with school,work,dating, my health(I had a pretty crappy immune system for a while, getting thru my car accident, and now my knee) but I always had a rock solid testimony, and I was always happy.
I'm a very happy girl.
I had my eval with my manager at work. She said that one thing the Doctors and other Nurses love about me is that I'm ALWAYS happy. I'm always smiling and I'm always trying to crack jokes with others. Sometimes to an annoying point(don't you actually hate the person at 7:30am that's smiling and laughing. Well that's me.) She's been impressed that since dealing with my knee issues, that I've never fallen behind on my work, or used my sore knee as an excuse. That made me feel very good about myself. For the simple fact that I feel like I've done nothing but complain. My blog readers can attest to that. My posts are always about my knee ;)
I'm excited for this year to come to a close. I'm excited for 2011. I'm expecting BIG things. I want some things to go back to the way they were before, but I can't really go back 4 years and pick up where I left off. I'm looking forward to my knee surgery(not being in a brace), training for triathlons,being out of debt, going to the Bahamas to do a weeks worth of STRAIGHT diving with Ashley, spinning, reffing, and most of all hanging and chillin' with my girls(and maybe meeting a boy and liking him for more than 5 minutes.) I'll keep ya posted on that one!

Thoughts...
The last few days I've had the opportunity to think.
I think all the time. clearly. But I've had time to really think. And Evaluate my life.
Here are some of my thoughts...
...My hinge brace squeaks when it's wet. It snowed today. It's wet. I've been squeaking all day... WD40 Please.
...I'm grateful to be a member of the Church. I went to a baptism on Saturday night. We watched the first vision. I cried. As always.
...I went to mission prep yesterday during Sunday School. I rocked it. I would have made an amazing missionary..
...I haven't written written in my journal since feb, and I really need to get on that. I use to write almost daily. Now I blog. I don't blog about things I normally would write about. Too personal. Now I need to do a recap and I doubt I'll remember everything
...I wish I was American(just so I could have my knee surgery next week) Dang you Dan! ;)Every other time I'm glad I'm Canadian.
...The lesson on patience in Relief Society yesterday was exactly what I needed..
...I woke up this morning to snow..I wasn't even grumpy about it. It brought back so many memories from last winter that I absolutely adored.
...I need a new phone. Mine sucks. Iphone 4. Yes please.
...Sometimes trials come, and turn into blessings in disguise.
...I need to go to the Temple more often.
...I love hanging out with good friends.
...I bend over backwards for my friends, but wonder where some of them are when I need them.
...I really miss my long hair.
...I miss being able to run.
...I wish everyone would stop telling me how hard it is to rehab after an ACL surgery. I'm trying to think happy thoughts.
...I miss my friends in Utah.
...I think the one person that I miss the most isn't going to come back again.
...My best friend is leaving for two years. Things are going to be so different when he gets home.
...Everyone else seems to have an easier time moving on than I do.
...I just want a hug from Chase Kotowski. Best hugger in the world.
...I loved the Washington DC postcard that Benn sent me last week. I always seem to hear from him when I need it most.
...I'm really happy to be back into a routine again.
...I can't wait until I never have to wear another knee brace ever again.
...I just adopted a little baby in Africa, and feel dang good about it.
...I need to start giving more services. My life was so much easier when I was worrying about other people. I'm volunteering at the Drop In centre downtown now.

Scents
I hate smelling like 10 different things(on me).
So last night after I posted that my skin smelt amazing, and my hair also smelt fantastic...it caused me to think. They smelt totally different.
My nose has seizures when I can smell to many smells at once. Don't ask.
I usually like to keep to smelling like one thing. This is why I have body sprays and purfumes and lotions that all smell the same. So after I shower I can use my lotion and then spray a little purfume on the nape of my neck and in my hair before I blow dry it(boys love it).
....Then I was thinking about how everything I use has a different scent. My hair spray smells so good that sometimes I leave the house without putting anything else on. It's just that good. Other times I have both.
I hate cross contamination of scents. It throws off the first one. Boo.
What am I going to do.
P,S I still smell fantastic. YAY ME!

Blah!
So more knee updates.
Cause really lets be honest. That's the majority of my life right now. Dealing with this bloody curse.
Actually. It's turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I'm so grateful for the Lords hand in my life. I am such a turd and always question the why's. It's a good thing I'm not within arms reach of him, or I'd get a smack.
Anyways. I had my physio appt this morning. My physio cracks me up. When I told her I was going to the sports med dr after my physio she got SO excited. Like beyond. More than me. That's not even really possible. That's how excited she got.
She goes you know Lachele, Dr. Irving is way good looking, and single. I may or may not have went home, pulled my hair outta my bun, put on a little more mascara and threw on my cutest lululemon pants. Oh heck yes I did.
He did not disappoint. He was extremely hott. He played with my knee a little, we looked at some xrays.....
....then he says, Lachele... Unfortunately it seems like you have a complete ACL tear along with partial MCL/LCL tears. **I've known this since it happened** But I got super emotional. I don't even know why.
So we weighed my options. He's not even scheduling me for an MRI, he's booking me straight into an O.R. AHHH!
Yup, Now it's completely official. I'm headed under the knife. Tomorrow I'm going to be fitted for my new hinge brace, and the moldings made for my custom made ACL brace for when I play sports. Now lets just hope that I can get in sooner rather than later. I'd like to be better for the race I want to run in April(which isn't looking all that promising) but furthermore I want to be ready for next summers dive season!
<3
P.S I bought this super yummy shower gel. I just used it for the first time, and whenever I move I get a wiff of it. mmmm I smell good. My hair has my shampoo scent so when I move I can smell that too. :) <--- just thought you'd like to know I smell amazing.

Don't kill me!
Alright.
So I found my bumble bee tutu and my super cute wings from last year. Since no one really got to see me dressed up except Mandy and Marinda I figure I'll just be a super cute bee again/for the first time.
Okay, Here's a question. This may or may not cause a little controversy. I'm just curious on peoples opinions.
My tutu is short. Really short. I did a horrible job sewing it. I am not a sewer. It's a punk rock tutu. Black and yellow sparkly strips sewed onto a skirt full of that scratchy black material(I can't think of the name right now) I feel stupid.
Anyways, so point is. I'm wearing leggings with it for numerous reasons. 1. it's probably going to be cold and I don't want that much of my bare leg exposed. 2. I did a crappy job sewing it and just my luck it'd come undone while I'm dancing and 3.(most important) I'm Endowed, and my garments won't come close to being covered. Now I NEVER in a million years would take them off to wear the costume. I'm not slutty(I'm not trying to offend anyone who would wear it without leggings) but even if I wasn't Endowed I still would wear something under it. BUT, here's my question why is it okay for guys to take off their garment tops to be 'Ninjas' or something like that but if I(girls) were to do it, I would be talked about for MONTHS!!!
A friend of mine down in Utah did a photo shoot wearing a tank top and she got sooooooo much hate comments on her facebook about how she was horrible for taking them off, yet another one of our mutual friends a guy, RM, did a photoshoot without his shirt off and everyone loved it. Why is there a double standard? I know so many of my guy friends who do stuff like that, yet if any of my girlfriends were to do it, they'd be easy, skanky,slutty..and all those inappropriate connotations associated with that. If it's immodest for a girl to take off her garment tops then it surely is immodest for a guy to do the same.
Okay, just sayin.
Don't kill me. Please. I've just seen this happen a whole bunch lately. I hate it.
And for the record let me remind you I will be wearing leggings under my tutu. I wasn't in anyway trying to justify myself. I just am curious. I guess it goes along with all those other wonderful double standards.
ANNNNNNNND I haven't really decided how I'm going to send the prize for helping with my costume. Maybe I'll put the names in a hat and draw one out!

Persistance pays off!
Monday I blogged about how I self referred myself to a knee specialist and that they garunteed that I would hear from them within 3-5 days. I wasn't too certain that I would. But this morning I woke up to a message saying that the specialist wanted to see me TOMORROW!!!!
They're seeing me tomorrow. I am so excited. Holy cow. Who knew referring myself would get me in there sooner than a Dr's referral.
THEN....
I get a call from another specialist. They're willing to see me next Wednesday. Say what? Two appointments in a week? This must be luck. All this persistance is paying off finally. How excited do you think that I am?
EEEEEEKS I am so happy!

IDEAAAAAAS
Alright.
So we need to have a brainstorming sesh.
I have a couple ideas of what I want to be for halloween. Nothing is set in stone. I didn't realize how close we were to Halloween.
I swear I started thinking about this back in August. I had plenty of time. WHERE DID ALL OF SEPTEMBER AND HALF OF OCTOBER go? Really? It's just gone. It's going to be 2011 before we know it.
Last year I was obsessed with tutu's I was the cutest bumble bee ever! I made my own sparkly black and yellow tutu and wore a back shirt and some black leggings with wings and I had crazy yellow make up. I was pretty hott. How do I top that?
I could probably actually go as the same thing again this year...I don't think anyone even saw me, because last year I got ready with my girlfriends and then got really sick and ended up on T's couch watching TV with him til like 3 am. That was a BUST! I missed the best halloween party ever. This year I'm bound and determined to rock it! So this is where all my readers come in.
I need everyones ideas. If I end up using your idea, you can expect the BEST ever thank you package you've ever recieved in your life. No seriously I'll send you all of my fave things.

Taking matters into my own hands!
So I haven't heard anything back from my first referral to the knee clinic that was suppose to have been made back in August.
I still hadn't heard back from the referral that was made in my behalf last weekend when I re-injured my knee.
So When I got to work this morning I referred myself to the knee clinic. They told me they'd call me back in 3-5 days!
Why was it so hard for a Surgeon, and a physio to refer me and not gotten a response yet, but I was able to talk to someone early this morning.
Maybe I'm just cooler. Maybe I threw around I work at TBCC. I guess working at a Hospital has it's benefits as well.
Hopefully I get a call sometime this week with an appt. Life would rock. I'm ready to be out of this brace again.
Last week I was definately dragging. I'm the type of person that neeeeeeeds to be on some sort of schedule. Without it I'm lost and LAZY! Really. Lazy. I am. Ugh. It's annoying. There were so many things I probably should have tried to get done but I didn't. I didn't get any laundry done. Sick. I stayed up way to late, and woke up even later. I took my daily nap. Had lots of visitors. and just laid around.
I'm happy to be back at work. No one was expecting to see me today. I am suppose to have this week off. We'll see how I feel. I was just going stir crazy. Atleast being back at work I remember that I need to eat!
I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL Monday ;)

I still hadn't heard back from the referral that was made in my behalf last weekend when I re-injured my knee.
So When I got to work this morning I referred myself to the knee clinic. They told me they'd call me back in 3-5 days!

help!
I don't want to make my blog private, I just want to stop someone from reading it.
There is this really creepy girl in my ward, who doesn't know me but knows me because she reads my blog, and she sent me a bunch of what she thought was 'nasty, hurtful' things to me on fb. But it just creeped me out.
I just want to be able to delete her, or block her from reading my blog all together so she goes back to knowing nothing about me!
If you know how, please let me know.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
I love Thanksgiving.
I love that my parents and sister are in Calgary for the weekend, and that we're all at Kaits house.
I love that we were able to go to the zoo yesterday as a family.
I loved that I was able to have my parents with me in Emergency last night with me.
I DON'T love that I am back in this zimmer and on crutches again.
I don't love that I didn't get any sleep last night because my medication wore off at 5am.
I don't love that I have to shower on one leg again. boo.
I love that I get to have a turkey dinner tonight, and one again tomorrow night.
I love that I've been able to spend time with ALL my family this weekend.
I don't love that I promised the cutest little 5 year old that we'd have a tea party this weekend, and can't now. *sorry Froof*
I'm so grateful for holidays and that I get to hang out with my family. I am grateful that I'm healthy, and have one good leg :) I'm grateful for a two week paid vacation. ha.
Oh how I love Thanksgiving. I'm excited that Layla is coming to Kaits for dinner tonight. I'm grateful for good friends who are willing to offer to help me.
What are you grateful for?

I went to the zoo yesterday......
with my family for Canadian Thanksgiving......having a great time look at all the super cute baby animals and then I tripped on a wet floor in the gorilla cage and I fractured my patella on the lateral side and re tore/made my ACL/MCL tear worse.
Perfect huh?
I'm back on crutches and in a zimmer brace. I can't put any weight on my foot. I'm back at square one. Awesome huh?
They took x rays again. There is a new fracture/evulsion on the lateral side now, as opposed to the medial side from the first injury. The medial fracture was healing nicely, but he saw a bunch of torn scar tissue, so I re injured that too.
Nice eh?
So they're re-referring me to the cast clinic where I'll see another orthopedic surgeon. Hopefully they'll push for an MRI faster because this is a re-occurance and now I'll most likely 100% need surgery now. Beautiful.
FYI- An evulsion is when the ligament(in my case) tears off the bone taking a portion of the bone along with the torn ligament.
I have super mixed feelings about what is going on right now. I was just starting to work out again. I was loving all the freedoms and I was starting to feel normal again. I had just learned how to walk heel to toe, rather than toe to heel like I had been in the brace...now I'm back to toe-heel.
I'm off work again. Ugh. ha.

Just my bloody luck!
I was walking down the hallway at the hospital today, and I walked into the reception area....the HOTTEST guy ever was at the front, and needed directions.
I get asked. I turn red. I start to blush. He's just so dang hott!
Give him directions-he's happy.
I walk away embarassed because I am wearing glasses, my hair is up, I'm hardly wearing any make up today and I'm wearing the weridest scrubs ever today.
I always meet hott guys when I look like crap.
Whenever I want to just leave my house looking horrible. I'll remmeber this tid bit and make sure I look super cute.
Maybe Karma will be good to me!

it only took me 24 years, 10 months and 22 days
to come to the realization that I am sooo awkward.
like really awkward.
I was talking to my friend Ashley(rather we email each other at work everyday) and I was telling her about a situation where I quite possibly missed 7 HINTS in one night.
It was horrible. And to make matters worse, this whole last week I've been replaying those hints over and over again in my mind. AND EVERYTIME in my mind I always catch the hints, do the right thing and live happily ever after.
Why can't life just have a pause button where I can pause the situation and have time to think things thru logically. Don't worry in approx. 69 days I think I might have the opportunity to redeem myself. Let's hope. If not. I'm doomed for life!
Ha. Why am I so werid? <---- P.S this is a rhetorical question. Please do not answer it.
I feel like I could use a little love right now, or rather some sense of comradorship(clearly not even a word) on how awkward life and those 'subtle' hints are.

I heart cowboys.
Or atleast I did last night.
Layla was laughing at me so hard last night.
The saddledome was BUSTING with cowboys. I got tickets to the Brad Paisley concert thru work and some of my friends down in Utah had been to the concert a couple weeks prior and said they had the time of their lives, so I figured free tickets, I like some of his stuff why not.
Layla on the other had(I was slightly worried about) She's new to country musics and I thought she'd be bored. Her facebook status was something like "on my way to Brad Paisley...don't know any of his songs, or what he looks like, but I'm sure it'll be fun" She got SOOOO much hate on her status because of that. So many people were jealous we were there, nevermind for FREE. We had decent seats too. I was slightly surprised.
Daruis Rucker was the opener for him and I had seen him when he opened for Keith Urban last Sept, so I knew he was good, but boy did I forget how good he was. Layla knew some of those songs so she was a happy girl. Turns out she knew some of BP's songs too and so she was lovin it. We were clappin our hands and tappin our toes.
.Good times.
I loved cowboys alot last night, good thing I had the night to sleep on it. I don't love them so much anymore. I'm very pursuadable(is that a word) cause if it, that's what I am. I go with the flow, and I am very impulsive. I was ready to marry a cowboy right then and there.
However, I had to remember that these were mostly urban cowboys. ha. They'd be back in suits working downtown tomorrow tho. That's hott. :) I'd take those cowboys any day.
I got a pretty un cool pic in my head after my friend Vi posted on my wall that she'd hook me up with her brother, a kid I went to highschool with who is a REAL cowboy. I didn't like that so much, so I decided cowboys aren't for me. Only pretend urban cowboys.

Remember Josh?
Remember Josh, and how he shut me down?
Well it turns out he shut me down, and doesn't want to date me.....*ready for this* because he's inlove with Layla. HA! Have at it girl. I'm not even the slightest bit upset. I promise.
I love her response to guys like Josh, when they ask girls like us out.(I'm not even sure what "us" girls are,but she's funny)
"why does a guy with a face like yours, think he can date a girl with an ass like mine." HA! I love Layla. She's awesome! I'm so glad she's here!
A couple weekends ago Layla and I were having dinner with Brett and Braden(ps. I really REALLY miss them) and I hate the time difference between Canada and Australia and I want them home NOW! I'm working on the best birthday present ever for B. He turns 25 on the 23rd. I just need his address. ANYWAYS, we were at dinner and I was telling Brett and Braden about Josh(cause they had met him,and thought he was SUPER werid.) and about how he shut me down. Well Brett took the liberty of telling me I had no chance in hell with him(damn it) ;)--however, I'm pretty sure by the end of the night he took that back after he realized what a cool chick I am,and how good of a dancer I was with a broken knee but THEN Braden shut me down too. I got shut down by 3 guys over the span of FIVE days. I think that's like a record or something. I think I've been shut down by 4 or 5 guys in my life and 3 just happened to be in the same week. Go figure.
So I'm saving my money so that I can fly to Australia and visit B and Braden. They're having the time of their lives right now just playing, and laying on the beach and exploring. They haven't started working yet, they're waiting to meet with all their investors or something next week. Eeeks. So jealous!

Seriously! Some peoples kids!
Ugh. Need I say more?
Not really.
Now, I am one for saying some pretty ridiculous things. Like ABSURD.
So when people say things to me, that make me think you're crazy, we've got a real problem on our hands.
Lately I've been getting all sorts of crazy comments about my height.
I am not THAT tall for a girl. 5'8 I've always thought that was pretty average. Until I read a study on the elevator that says average height for girls is 5'4. But seriously, that's SHORT!
I've always wanted to be about 5'10. I'm a basketball player. I like height.
I am not so good at the top of the key, so gaurd was never my style. I like it down under ;) so height is a must. I guess now that I am not playing sports anymore it doesn't really matter. I like my height.
I was in the elevator with a very short woman. Probably 4'10. She looks up at me as if I'm a giant and says "wow, you're tall" No maam, you're just REALLY short.
I get called Giantess--However I have a friend Mallorie(love you Mal) but I always call her the Giantess. She's 6'0. I am a shorty pants compared to her.
I just thought it was really funny when that short lady today commented on my height. Maybe she should go stand next to Mallorie. ha.
The other week a guy told me that his "type" was 5'4-5'7 and that I was too tall by an inch, but he might be able to make an exception. Ha. I don't need your exception dear. I don't want to date you anyways. :)

Creepers....
So remember how I loved the blog www.mormonbachelorpad.com
Well, I'm pretty sure all along I knew it was fake.
Some of that stuff was just out of this world.
They finally fessed up. It was slightly creepy to know the vision I had of them in my head is NOTHING close to how they are in real life.
I follow a couple other annon/potentially fake blogs.
I doubt the vision I have of those people is how they really are.
For any of you who have followed their blog as well, should go check out their latest post.
Too Funny. I'm pretty sure my days of following those types of things are over.

Relevance....Jerk Store called-They want you back!
So I knew I was going to get it when I didn't go to physio for two weeks.
*whoops*
So yesterday I went to physio. I thought I was doing SO well. No brace, walking up and down stairs with minimal pain, biking for 30 plus minutes everyday.
And she says.....
"Well Lachele, It's only been two months"
ONLY two months?
It's been two months... that's a LONG TIME.
"You know, an injury like yours is serious. It's going to take a long time to heal"
Ha. Jerkstore called. They want their jerk back.
It's been two months...It's ONLY been two months.
It's all relevant. I'll look back on this in a few months and laugh.
ha. ha.
