Little Update (now I'm doing updates:)

So, don't have anything in particular to post about, but I felt like it was time for another post.  We went to Idaho and visited our cousins and grandparents.  I feel like I have gotten closer to Grandma Leslie ever since we moved.  It's weird.  I've learned to crochet and we like to do that while watching TV together.  Normally we watch House Hunters, but this trip we got into Bonanza.  Can you believe it!  I wanted to see it at first because Charles was in it, but then I really got into it.  It's so funny.  When Dad came home one night I was sitting in the family room watching it all by myself.  I just started laughing because it's just so funny that I like it!  I've had the theme song stuck in my head ever since we watched it.  One day I was humming it all day and everybody started hating it.  It's just kind of funny.  

I crocheted some hand warmers because I am always freezing at WISH.  We are switching buildings so hopefully it won't go to waste.  I'll post pics when we get back to California and I have my camera.

It's so cold here.  I can't believe we actually lived here.  I feel like I'm going to freeze every time I go outside.  It's amazing that before when I experienced much colder weather earlier in the winter this felt warm.  I remember it being a big decision to decide if I should take my coat to school or not in the spring.  It would feel warm, but I might regret not bringing it later.  Now, in California, 60s are cold and 50s are freezing.  It's amazing the affect of what we expect has on us.  

I got a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble from my dad for my birthday and didn't spend it because the Barnes and Noble closest to us is really small so I spent it in Idaho.  Mom also pointed out that tax is better there so that's another bonus.  I bought Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.  It's a classic I think that I've read before and I remember I really liked it.  I don't remember it, but I remember liking it.  So I bought it and think I'll read it soon.  I also bought The Tales of Beedle the Bard!  It's pretty cool.  It was translated from Ancient Runes by Hermione and has commentary by Dumbledore.  I've read two stories so far.  It's going to be fun having a few more choices for read alouds at night.  And these are stories that we don't have memorized all ready.  Plus, it's Harry Potter, so that's makes everything cool. :)

Today we got hair cuts, or just trims.  I got rid of probably two inches.  Gracie thinks she cut an inch, but Dad told her to cut about an inch and held his fingers about four inches apart behind Gracie's back.  It looks so much better and is still long.  Anna got rid of about the same as Gracie.  She was very upset for a while.  Saying that mine was longer than hers and that hers is so short now (not true).  Anyway, I'm glad we got trims.  My hair was so gross.  

That's pretty much it, love you!

Frustrated with being sick.

Well... we are in Utah at our dad's right now and I don't want to do anything.  I feel awful.  I have this weird cold.  I had a sore throat for a day, a stuffy nose for a day and then a cough for a day or two, then I got better. I was good for a few days and then it came on again all at once.  Steve got it a few days before me and it was the same with him.  I've heard of a lot of people that have had it.  It's so weird.  Plus, my foot isn't feeling any better.  It was a week ago yesterday that I fell and it feels the same.  It just hurts.  It's not swollen or anything so it couldn't be anything really wrong, but it's just a pain.  Literally.  It got better for a few days after I basically didn't walk on it.  It got this numb feeling so I didn't really feel it at all when I walked on it, so I walked on it and then it got really bad again.  Now it really hurts unless I've taken ibuprofen.  When I went to church last week it hurt so bad when I got home cause I was wearing high heels and everything so I wanted to stay home tomorrow, but Dad won't let me.  I just wish I could be waited on so I would get better!  When I walk on my foot and go about life as usual I doubt it helps.  I'm sure it will get better eventually no matter what, but I'm also sure it would get better a lot faster if I didn't walk on it!  I'm just frustrated.  I'm so tired of not being hurt or sick enough to stay in bed, but being hurt and sick enough to feel awful, but still well enough to go places and do things.  This is the kind of thing that you feel stupid staying home and asking for people to do things for you, but if you do you get better so much faster.  Know what I mean?

Well, I think I'm going to go read now.  That's another thing I'm frustrated with.  I don't have a good book to read.  I'm reading Great Expectations for WISH and I really like it, but if I read to much of it then I zone out and the language starts to confuse me.  I'm also reading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.  I don't really love it, but I have to keep reading to find out what happens!  I hate it when that happens.  So I don't even have a good book to distract me from my sicky stuff.  Well, so long!

P.S.  It's so cool that the italics work.  They didn't work before blogger changed. :)
