Ahh Brett my trainer ripped into me last night. He's trying to prepare my upper body for the torture of crutches for four weeks. I can't straighten my right arm all the way my biceps hurt so much. ha. I changed my mind about him. At first I thought that he was quiet and that we wouldn't have anything to talk about. However, last night was fine. We chatted and it was good. I think we'll be great friends.
Okay, so that's not why I'm famous. I'll tell you why. On July 13th Backstreet Boys and the New Kids on the Block are coming during Stampede. Remember how I love them? Remember how I saw both of them in concert within the last 2 years? Remember how it reminded me I was half my age? Oh YES! Well they weren't going to come to Calgary. The closest they'd be was Vancouver so I was fully prepared to fly out there for that epic concert. *p.s anyone who disses boy bands are on my preverbial shiz list FOREVER* so choose your comments wisely. Anyways, so yesterday I got this bright idea to call into the radio station that is giving tickets away. I just so happened to be the 10th caller thru to qualify for some draw to enter to win 1000.00 bucks.(which when I win, will clearly be to purchase back stage passes to BSB/NKOB tickets) So the jist of it, is that I got to request the song I wanted and if they played it sometime this week between 12-1pm for the 'lunch break boootay shake' my name would be in the draw to win at the end of the week. SO, my name is now in for the draw AND I got to listen to 'I want it thhhhat way' by my 5th grade crush Nick Carter. They had me say a little blurb like people do and they play it during commercials. Well for the last 24 hours they've been playing my blurb(this is where the 'I'm famous part of my title comes into play) and it's my birthweek. :) Just thought I'd remind you!
This is my childhood dream. My two music celeb crushes growing up were Nick Carter(BSB) and Donny Walburger(NKOB) **Yes, I realize Donny is almost as old as my mom**
EEEEEKS, Kristina and I were jammin' to some BSB and I was definately singing into my stapler microphone!
So happy.
What a FANTASTIC week.

Tis my Birthweek.
Yes. Birthweek. Not just birthday.
I have a birthweek, which pretty much means I just play all week. It's amazing. I have the most fantastic friends that humor me, and will play all week with me. I love it. It's not much different than the playing I do most every week, except the fact that everything is focused on me...cause I'm the birthweek girl. :)
I love anything to do with having the spotlight on me. Which is also why I've instigated half birthdays. That's right. I was always wayy jealous of the kids who had summer birthdays(weeks) so I gave myself a summer birthday. I've even convinced the girls I work with that half birthdays are freakin legit. I got half a birthday card, and half a birthday cake on July 29th. <--- see they humor me.
This year it started off FANTASTIC. Saturday was the beginning of my birthweek. One of my good friends does nails, waxing, pedi's and facials. She invited me to her spa and I got a facial from her as my birthday present. I was able to sit back, relax and listen to the sounds of the ocean while I caught up on the latest in her life. I had a very high caloric starbucks drink(which was worth every calorie) bought myself a nice little book, and hung out with friends eating pizza. Yesterday I slept in... woke up to the warm sun in my bedroom(love the sun, and love that it's soooo nice in Jan.) had a nice breakfast, enjoyed church, took a glorious nap(I won't tell you how long it was..you'll think I'm lazy)
This week is full of friends taking me to dinner(almost every night this week someone is taking me to dinner) and Saturday on my actual birthday I'm doing something with Kait and Ruthie during the day(which they're planning and it's a surprise) then I'm going out to dinner with my closest and best friends then we're going out to Karaokee where a bazillion of my dearest friends are going to sing their little hearts out. We love Karaokee up here in good ol' Calg Alberta.

Oh. PS. two things. ONE- 3 weeks til my surgery(can you believe it, ya me neither, now you'll never have to hear about my knee again....well after rehab.) and TWO- Backstreet boys and New Kids on the Block are coming to Calgary during Stampede. Holy cow am I ever excited. I've seen both of them, love both of them, and I'm so excited. You better believe I will be one of the first to get tickets to that concert!.... okay. THREE- I got a new personal trainer. ha. He deserves a whole blog post in itself. That's coming up next.

A lil something something.....
I want to share with you a little something something Brad Woemack taught me last night on the Bachelor. Well it was his shrink. So I guess I should thank Brad for paying 500 for that time that he spent with him, to teach me something, that would eventually probably save me thousands of dollars on therapy.
Everyone who wants to fall in love needs to be vulnerable. Being vulnerable creates an empty space in you, that can be filled by someone else. If you're not vulnerable, and if someone comes into your life there will be no room for them. That's why you drive people away.
My girlfriend Shae says "Lachele, He just solved all your boy problems."
Ha. Funny. Thanks Shae. You're funny. Not. However this is true. Maybe that's the reason I'm single. Maybe it's just because I'm too damn cool for all these Calg boys.
I would just like to thank Brad for paying $500.00 for that shrink to say those things. ha ha.
Now if ANYONE tells me watching the Bachelor is trashy I will just teach them what I learned and they can go 'Brooke' Themselves(quick what tv. series is that off of.) I can only think of ONE person who might know this. That would be Ash.

YSA,MSA,SA
Sometimes in our culture words get abbreviated.
Okay so all the time. It's no different when it comes to alot of the LDS lingo(Latter-Day Saints.) see. My point exactly.
Sunday night I was having dinner with some friends who were going to a MSA Fireside(mid singles fireside. 25-35) They invited me, mainly because there wasn't enough time to drop me off at home and still make it to the fireside. So I went. Ugh. Biggest Mistake ever. I ran into a friend of mine. We sat with her. She looked really surprised to see us. I told her I was about two weeks early for this but not to judge me(I turn 25 in a few weeks) She looked at me and told me I was about 4 years and 50 weeks too young. It was a SA(Single Adult Fireside 30+[death]) fireside. AHHHHHH No wonder no one looked anywhere NEAR my age.
I was mortified. Not many things make me feel awkward. But this did it. It was a really fantastic fireside. I enjoyed myself after I got over the humiliation of being jail bait to these men.(I considered myself jail bait, just go with it) After the fireside this guy with 'salt and pepper' hair was eyeing me down. No Beuno(I'm doing Troy proud by using the little spanish I know) I grabbed Jess and tried to leave. We ran into one of my friends who is 31. We stuck by him the rest of the time. These guys invited us in for refreshments and I think were trying to pick us up. The SA girls definately hated us. The guys(what I would call the eligable bachelors in SA were talking to us) and not them. Sorry girls.
I'm sticking to YSA(YOUNG Single Adult) activities. Remember what happened when I snuck to the MSA conference and the weirdos I met. You think I'd have learned my lesson by then. Guess I like to learn things the hard way.

Day 7- four turn offs
1. Bad Oral Hyegine. The worst is having to share a workspace, or an elevator with someone who has bad breath and breathes with his mouth open. gross.
2. Lots of body hair. So gross.
3. Smelly people. I can not handle disgusting smells. I dry-heave.
4. Obnoxious people. They drive me nuts. I mean I like to hear the sound of my own voice, but come on. Some people need to be gagged.

blah
It's freezing.
I refused to leave my house today. I still haven't. After the week I've had I really just needed some down time. I've been sitting at my computer catching up on episodes of 90210 knowing full well that I needed to finish that 10 day blog business. I was dreading it. I hate blogging when I HAVE to, rather than when I want to.
Now I'm done. It might be a few days until I finish the rest of them. Whoops. We'll see how I feel.
Dear Summer,
Please come home soon. I miss you.
If you don't come home, I'm coming to you. Take your pick.
Love: L.

Day 6- 5 people who mean alot to me.
1. My Mama and Pap/sibs- My parents have done so much for me. They're there when I call to just talk, when I use to call for money, and they're prepping to take very good care of me. I'm so excited to get to spend a month with them while I'm recovering. I haven't spent more than 5 days in a row with them in the last 7 years.
** That counts as 3 of my 5 people
2. My grandma Bigelow- She was such an example to me growing up.
3. Myself- I mean a lot to myself. I never use to be able to say that. Now that I can I am very narcastic. You're just going to have to deal with that.

1. I wish I never got a tattoo.
2. I wish I had never cut my hair into an A-line bob
3. I wish I served a mission.
4. I wish that I thought about the bigger picture when I was 18
5. I wish I never would have wasted my time on useless boys.
6. I wish that I was nicer to my family growing up.

You're a tomato and I'm a Zuccini
Who knew that Alma 32:39 could have erupted such a discussion in my institute class last night. I'm taking the Book of Mormon part II. My institute teacher asked how this scripture relates to 'dating' ha. yes dating.
"Now this is not because the seed was not good, neither is it because the fruit thereof would not be desirable; but it is because your ground is barren and ye will not nourish the tree, therefore ye can not have the fruit thereof"
Now, how does this relate to dating? The first thing that came to mind was the word 'barren'. Everyone that has read my blog knows that I hate dating unless I like the guy. That I don't want to waste my time. However, lately I've been trying to be a little bit more open. Usually, I suck it up. Have a decent time and at the end of the date my girlfriends ask "so do you like him, will there be a date 2?" My reply. No, we're just not compatiable. I'm barren says my friend Mike.I'm not willing to nourish my fruit. Sorry I don't want to have baby fruits with every fruit I date. Great. Thanks Mike. When he read the word barren, and was asked to relate it to dating - he thought of me. I don't think that's a good thing.
This kid in my class related us to the fruit thereof. He said I am a Tomato, and the girl I like is zuccini. Sometimes they just won't taste good in a salad together, doesn't mean their not desirable on their own, I like tomatoes and I like zuccini. Sometimes you just need a little lettuce and some tomato.
True dat dawg. That's what I've been saying this whole time. Juse because he's a good guy, doesn't mean he's the good guy for me. So now everyone can step up off me!
See the scriptures really do relate to us in the modern day. Anyone who says they don't. Just ask them to relate the scripture to dating.

Day Three- 8 things I couldn't live without.
Two posts in one day.
Whoops I forgot about yesterdays. Okay, so I was too busy having fun all day. There's this app I could get on my phone that would allow me to blog from my phone. I strongly decided against it. I'd blog every 5 seconds.
These are the 8 things I can't live without. Aside from my Family, Friends and the Gospel. Those are givens.
1.
This hairspray is a Heaven sent. I love it. My hair does not move an inch with this stuff. I swear by it. Thanks to my darling friend Saren for showing this to me.
2.
My Ipod. I love music. I love dancing. I love listening to it. I love working out to it. I fall asleep to it. This thing is my buddy.
3.
My running shoes. I wouldn't be able to workout, play basketball, football or volleyball without these. I've really missed being able to play sports. It's one of the things I'm looking forward to being able to do.
4.
If I don't have time to do anything else while I'm getting ready. This is my go-to item. A little Mascara and I can feel so much prettier.
5.
Before these bad boys were popular/they had one that was good enough for my hair I would use a clothes Iron. Yah. All the way back in jr. high. I love my flat iron. I love straight hair, I love curling my hair with it. I just love it.
6.
Comfy, cute workout wear. I love Lulu clothes. They're the best for running to the gym, and running errands.
7.
I don't even think I need to explain this one. I love my phone. I love texting. I text alot.
8.
I love love love burts bees. It's the best, and the only thing that I will EVER use before I apply color and gloss to my lips. Yes, I use 3 different applications to get the results I want.
xo.

DAY 1- 10 things I'd say to 10 diff people
So here are 10 different things I'd say to 10 different people.
1. M/D- Thank you for everything you do for me. I love you so much.
2. S.T- I really hope that I don't hold on to that 5 minutes for the next 24 months.
3. T- I love your guts and wish I still lived in Utah so we could shop, eat, and play with really cute boys like old times.
4. S.B- I normally don't like to not like people. But you're just too easy. I don't agree with what you do, but I don't go around judging you. You think I'm judging you because you're judging yourself. You know what you're doing is wrong.
5. P- I seriously don't know how I'd get thru the week without you. You keep my sane.
6. R.N- I'm over it. Really I am.
7. C.C- stop trying to stealthfully get info from me. I'm not falling for it. I know you're trying to get info for other people.
8. A.S- I miss you so much, I wish you'd come back from the Bahamas until I can go down there and be with you. Jealous
9. B.B- sometimes I wish you didn't go soooo far away so soon after we met.
10. V.L- I'm grateful for you letting me randomly vent on BBM. You're my go to girl, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish we lived closer.

things you just didn't know about me.
So my friends older sister is seriously the coolest ever. Her blog inspires me. She's this gym nut. She loves to be healthy, she loves to workout, and she's TOTALLY gorgeous.
She is doing this 10 days thing, that helps people get to know her better. I want to do it too. So I'm stealing this from her. I hope she doesn't mind. I'll just send her a little comment telling her, rather than her happening to randomly find it and think I am some copier.
Here's the schedule. Over the next 10 days, I'll blog about the items on this list (among other things, hopefully!)
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

She is doing this 10 days thing, that helps people get to know her better. I want to do it too. So I'm stealing this from her. I hope she doesn't mind. I'll just send her a little comment telling her, rather than her happening to randomly find it and think I am some copier.
Here's the schedule. Over the next 10 days, I'll blog about the items on this list (among other things, hopefully!)
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself that most people don't know.
Day Three: Eight things you couldn't live without.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you could change or you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot to you.
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.

Hi my name is Lachele...
Remember that time I blogged like 4 times in one day for like 3 days straight then went MIA for like 6 days.
Yah. Sorry about that.
I'm here. I'm back.
A couple funny things. 1. Saturday night this lady in my Stake(we had Stake Conference) comes up to me, I've met her a couple times. She served in the Stake Relief Society Presidency when I was in my ward presidency says to me "has anyone ever told you you're ACTUALLY really pretty."
Nope. They pretend to tell me. Ha. Sometimes the way people say things makes it sound totally different than they meant for someone to take it. Like that time.
Normally I would slightly be offended...like why would she use the word actually. Right now. I just don't care.
I loved the CES broadcast last night. I'm pretty sure Elder Christoferson wrote that especially for me. Stake conference the last two days. I'm pretty sure was centered around Lachele Daisy Louise Wickens. Pretty sweet to have all these things specifically catered to me huh?

That Person....
Everyone in their life has THAT person...whenever you see said person you casually try to dive into the nearest room, or join any random conversation. Even if the conversation is between strangers.
Well... Meet Bruce. He is 4 years older than me in school. So I kind of only knew him back in the day. The only thing I actually knew about him was that he was weird.
Much to my dismay he was one of the very first people I saw when I went to my first fireside in Calgary. He tried to take me under his wing, introduce me to people. I was fine tho. I was making my own friends.
He always talks about the past, and about high school. "The good ol days" as he likes to call them. Normally every conversation turns to Remember when you use to play basketball with my cousin..so and so, and so and so. Yes. Bruce I remember. Then he proceeds to tell people he use to watch me play basketball in high school(remember how he's 4 grades older than me) yup, a 20 something young man coming to high school GIRLS basketball.
Anyways, Sunday night I was at a random girls birthday party( I feel bad I crashed, and I never did get to meet the birthday girl) I walked in and Bruce was the first kid I saw. He came over, we made pleasant chitchat, he asked me how my family was, and how my Christmas was. I thought I was rolling out of the conversation pretty well. Very well actually. No talk of basketball(sports are a touchy subject me right now) THEN....ugh.. "So, I was at the Alumni Basketball game on Tuesday night and I was honestly really surprised not to see you out there playing in the girls game, all your senior girls were there, Diane, Blaire, Kaylee, Karli, Bonnie. I thought for sure you'd have been there" I kind of wanted to stick my right leg in his face, and knock him in the teeth with one of my hinges. I smile and said.. Probably next year, and that I was pretty sad about not being able to play.
He made it even worse. I tried to walk away. He kept talking. Then he started telling some blonde boy I didn't know that I played basketball, and I was decent. He then said loud enough for me to hear. "She probably won't be any good after the surgery. Might be a little depressing for her to get back into it after"
Stupid people. I was kind of upset. Not so much anymore. I just can't wait to have surgery, and be able to play in the old ladies league Wednesday nights at the church. ha.

Everyones NYR's will be the death of me...
For the past 3 days at the gym(minus Sunday cause I didn't go then, but am just assuming) has been a ZOO. Literally. A zoo.
Almost everyones NYR is to get in better shape, lose weight, tone up, etc. Which means everyone buys new gym memberships. Which means there are WAY more people there when I go. Which means I don't get 'my' <--- and I don't use MY lightly I have my own treadmill at the gym(everyone knows it's mine, that's why it's always free when I get there)... is taken by the time I get there at 4:45. I'm going to have to wait out the next two weeks until everyone that signed up last week decides to quit, or I'm going to have to teach those newbies a lesson. My fists aren't named Total(left) Domination(right) for nothing ;)
So far my goal of not eating fastfood is doing well... I'm down 4 days already, I only have 361 to go. ha. What are some of your NYR? I'm curious.
P.S I've already de-cluttered my room. It only took me 4 hours yesterday. I popped in some One Tree Hill season ONE into my laptop. I got rid of 3 garbage bags of clothes(and still have minimal room in my closets) 1 bag of garbage and I re-arranged everything. It definately feels different already.
