Paranoia.....

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't written in a while, that's the life of the rich and famous......just kidding! So as the title states I am paranoid because my mother and my brother are sick! I don't want to get it because on the 5th I'll be going to Panorama to ski with Kate! I'd prefer it if I wasn't sick and if mom wasn't sick. So I've been taking all sorts of vitamins and treating Josh like he has some disease...I was all most tempted to disinfect the doorknobs today but decided I was being ridiculous! So please pray that I stay healthy and that mom gets better by Saturday! After I ski with Kate I'm having a friend from Kelowna stay with me for a week! She hasn't seen Fernie and wants to come to see it! She has a 10 hours bus ride though. She's paranoid too so she said she won't sleep on the bus. See what paranoia does to you! Makes you insane! I couldn't blame her though! Buses are creepy and sometimes they have creepy people riding them! When I was riding on the bus in Vancouver a guy sat across from me and talked to me. The only thing was he didn't have his two front teeth so he basically spat at me the whole time! And he kind of looked homeless to me. Now not to bash Vancouver because I love it but I'd be scared to walk around there at night!
On a happier note I got my "Susie Magazine" today! "Susie Magazine" is this thing for teenage girls. I ordered mine in December and it didn't get here till today! Ok I'd better go but like I said please pray for mom and I!

My thoughts......

Our dogs name is Jackie……LIKE JACKIE CHAN! I can imagine her having a conversation with her dog friends and saying:
"My name is Jackie, Jackie Chan"!
Except it would really come out like this: "Woof woof woof bark"...
Or I suppose dogs could have conversations with other dogs in their minds. Maybe my dog talks to me in her mind...
Me: "Jackie go lay down".
Jackie in her mind: "I don't wanna"! Gives me a look...
That is if dogs can speak English in their minds....
So my cats and my dog have stare downs all the time. If we could hear what their saying it would sound like this:
Jackie goes up to bite kitties tail:
Cat: "Don't even think about it dog"!
Dog: "I wonder what you'd look like inside my mouth......I wonder if I'd get caught"....Looks at cat.....cat runs away....
But while we're on this subject what do my two cats say to each other when they’re fighting? They fight and then stare at each other.
Queequeg stares at Lou...
Queequeg: "Don't move or else I'll burn you with my laser vision"....."It will kick in anytime now"......"Anytime now".....
Lou walks over Queequeg……hmmmm………
While we’re on this subject (again) I wonder what my cat Lou says to everyone else…
Josh picks Lou up…
Lou: “Sir what are you doing? Put me down! I SAY! PUT ME DOWN”!!! Lou tries to struggle, Josh holds him tighter…
Lou: “Oh what’s the point”...assuming my cat is British.......
My dog sniffs the floor all the time looking for food…I wonder if they have this scanner thing in their brains…
Jackie sniffs the floor…
Scanner inside brain: Not food, not food, not food…FOOD!!! Not food, not food, not food…FOOD!
So there are some of my thoughts about…..what cats and dogs think…
I need to get out more……………

Back to Work!

Well I never thought I'd say this but I'm happy I'm going back to school this week! Over the past week I have been ill with a very terrible illness...cabin fever! Cabin fever comes when you stay inside your house to long and start to go crazy! But I was already crazy so who cares!

I am working on a new song in piano called "Through the Eyes of Love". It's a very romantic song which puts me in a romantic mood which isn't very good because then I start to cry and then....it could get ugly! Anyway for this song my piano teacher will be accompanying me! I don't usually let her do that so this is good!

I just recently got a program called "Netflix". It's so you can watch movies for only 8$ a month! I just finished watching "Fiddler on the Roof"! Great movie! The father in that movie reminds me of my dad!

Just to give you guys an update on my sit ski fundraiser it is going well! I have about 3,700 dollars! So now I'm going to get two sit ski's of two different sizes. This will cost about 6,000 dollars but I believe I can do it!

Anyway that's about all I have time for!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! 2011!!!!!

Reality Setting In....

Hey everyone

Sorry I haven't been writing as much as I could! I've been very busy! But as you can see by the title reality is setting in about my surgery! The clock is ticking a little faster then what I want it to! Christmas has come and gone and then before I know it I'll be driving to Vancouver with a bundle of nervous....nerves! So yes the battle of emotions begins yet again. I'm trying to be happy about this...I mean I really do want this but there are all these fears that go with it. Like I'm going to have to re-learn a lot of stuff and the recovery time is scary but in the end will it be worth it? Yes I think so! So there you have it! Grace Mariah Brulotte is excited to go into surgery! No more itchy bottom part of my back! (You know it really sucks when you can't scratch itchy spots)!

The new year is in 4 days! Can you believe how fast 2010 went by? IT'S ALMOST 2011 PEOPLE!!!! Sigh...

So I admit it...I need to start wearing my glasses again! I'm tired of squinting! They are just really annoying to wear. But yes I must wear them again.

Yesterday I was in the mood for a Jane Austen book (not Pride and Prejudice) and found that we did not have any of the other books! So my Jane Austen craving has not been satisfied yet...maybe I'll try the library. But I already have an overdue book and four other books out so my craving will have to wait. Speaking of Pride and Prejudice for Christmas I got the enhanced version! Super stoked to watch it. I think the greatest gift I got this year was the wooden chest that my uncle made me. He made all my siblings chests. It was cool because he made my oldest sisters the biggest and mine the smallest. And instead of having family over for supper we had our neighbors down the street over. Then after supper we played "Apples to Apples". That was hilarious! And then on Boxing Day (as tradition) we had all our relatives over for lunch. So there are a few things we do for Christmas! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I guess the only thing I can say is....THANK YOU!!

Hey everyone! On Saturday I went to Overwaitea to sell raffle tickets thinking maybe I'll get 200 dollars but nothing more than that....I RAISED 305 DOLLARS!!!! I threw 200 dollars out of the park!! I stayed for 3 hours, sold all my tickets and got 4 volunteers for sit ski instructors. That 300 dollars will cover the costs for all the accessories I need for the sit ski! Oh ya I found a website that will give you a better picture of the sit ski. http://www.superlite.org/biski.html

So anyway while I was down there I met the owner of the ski hill! Plus I'm getting a website made with a paypal thing on it for donations! And I got lots of extra information!

I am meeting with this guy named Bruce on Wednesday to see if he'll become an instructor so hopefully he can. He has trained other people to be sit ski instructors so maybe he will train the other volunteers too! Really excited! Everything is taking place!

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!!!!

Kimberly!

Hello all! Sorry I haven't written in ages but it's been very busy around here. Today I went up to Kimberly to check out the ski hills sit ski program! I'm really excited to be able to go skiing there or at least until I get one of my own! Just to let everyone know I have put up some collection jars around Fernie like in "Big Bang Bagels", "Home Hardware (Well not yet but I will), "Mountainside Community Church" and eventually some of the ski shops around town. And I will be having a raffle at Overwaitea on December the 11th! So be sure to come in!

I was very pleased to find that the Sit Ski I'm looking for costs less then I expected! The actual cost (everything included) is 3310.00$! And I applied for a grant of 2000.00 so if I can get that I will be one happy girl! So please pray that my grant application will be approved! The other thing that is kind of a bummer is I need two ski instructors who are trained! So they'd have to go to Kimberly and be trained. This brings up problems but I'll get through it! Anyway that's all I have time for tonight! Good night!
