still sick and lots to do...

I'm still sick and have a lot to do but thought I'd post a movie review once or twice a week. I was once told there are NO good movies to rent. Well.... there are a lot that are bad, horrible, and completely inappropriate for children and adults. However, there are some good movies to watch and are even decent enough to watch with the whole family.

Have you seen this movie? You should, it's good. One of my favorite movies...


It is called I am David.

movie review

Sometimes Masterpiece Theater has really great movies. Have you seen this movie yet? You should, it's really good. The little girl, Lucy (Georgie Henley) that plays in The chronicles of Narnia plays young Jane Eyre. This is my favorite version of Jane Eyre so far.

sicknesses and beds

I went to the Dr. yesterday and she gave me a note to tell my teachers I'm sick, then she sent me home and told me to go to bed. You know you're ill when your Dr. tells you not to go to school and makes you go home and go to bed. Normally I go to school even when I'm sick and try to keep my germs to myself and sit where nobody else is. (sorry, I'm one of those who is a perpetuator of spreading nastiness at school and then everyone else is also spreading it around...it seems nobody is ever well...gross!)

Good thing I didn't drive to school, I was so dizzy and out of it, I wouldn't have made it home. I slept until 2 pm today and probably will go back to bed again... for the love of pete... somebody give me a magic pill and make me well! I have tons of homework to get done and don't have time to be sick!!!

Service providers need to set their thermostats higher in the summer. Being outside in 93 degree weather and then going into a 70-75 degree airconditioned area is bad for you. Plus some people, like me can develop severe complications, like only being able to use a quarter of my lung capacity and having to be doped up on medication so that I can breathe. I have severe asthma and have to take medication daily for it, so when I have asthma attacks or get sick, I have to take prednisone. Prednisone is nasty stuff... I try to keep well so I don't have to take it. So please turn the thermostat up and keep your places warmer... it's ridiculous to be sweating one minute and then have chills the next. I guess I should start bringing a light jacket with me wherever I go.

When James did pick me up and bring me home, I thought magic fairies came, who else would do my dishes, run the dishwasher, have my kitchen sparkling clean, and run two loads of laundry? I told James I would have to thank Heavenly Father for blessing my home with magic fairies. I love you magic fairies, please come again!!! You make my life much more tolerable and nice and wonderful and happy... did I say I love magic fairies? I do, I really really do!

I was laying in bed and wondering if beds were made with tvs or computers in them. Wouldn't that be nice? I could get so much done if I could have one. I found that such things actually do exist...

weird

I thought I'd post this... probably everyone has seen it already, but in case you haven't here it is. Enjoy Donny Osmond's nerdy dance!

presents

Thanks to all my family and friends for getting me almost everything I asked for on or after my birthday. Very sweet of you. I'm still hoping to go on a family hike though. I don't know if everyone is able to go because Mom has bad knees and James has a bad back. We do have a nice walking stick though and we can get a few more. There are several hikes I'd like to go on this summer. I'd like to hike Cascade Head,Multnomah Falls, Cape Disappointment,(James and I did that one last year)Neahkahnie Mountain, there are also lots of day hikes in Portland to go do.
It's going to be an awesome summer...

Funny

I thought I'd share something funny today. "I don't want to get bit by Scooby Doo" There was a missionary on my mission that used to do funny Ms. Swan impersonations. It was great.

dancing with the stars

Here are the children finalists on Dancing with the Stars. Brandon and Brittany are my favorite, they are dancing to Phantom of the Opera.

May 14...

Today is my birthday. I get to go to the Portland Art Museum with my Art class. We are going to the museum to look at paintings of people. (I love the museum) We are going to look at the different uses of media at the museum for our next project. We are to choose a photo of a person that includes their head, neck, and shoulders. I haven't decided who I'm going to do yet. (I think I'm going to my mom's house on Friday to look and rifle through her photos, maybe I'll be able to find something good. I hope I can find some good photos of myself.) I'm excited about this project.

James and I are celebrating my birthday on Thursday evening since I don't get home from school on Wednesdays until 10pm. I am in school all day and am very wiped out when I get home and usually fall asleep on the couch until 1am and then slink off to bed to lay there unconciously until 10am the next day. (sometimes I go back to sleep until noon... I like getting thirteen hours of sleep, I think that is why I look so much younger than my age, I get lots of sleep and don't have to wake up with little babies.) I love Thursdays, I sleep in, clean a little, do homework, and wear my pajamas all day... it's great. But this Thursday, I am going to primp, polish, and paint for my date with James. I'm looking forward to going out with him.

Today I got one of my birthday wishes... my acupuncturist, Gidon gave me an acupuncture treatment and then he gave me a wonderful massage. After that he did cupping on my back... I have never felt better and I've been wanting to get a massage for awhile. That is one of the reasons why I miss working at a Spa... free massages. I really like my acupuncturist, he is great. I thought Jen was the best, but she left and went to Indonesia for 6 weeks. I was sad, but I like Gidon.... he gives me extra treatments and is more thorough.

Today will be a busy day, but it will be a good day... we are supposed to get some lovely weather... in the 80's this week. My birthday usually is the start of great spring/summer fun!

For My Birthday

I would like...
To be with my family all day... (yes, this is going to happen!)
Go see a movie with my family... (I love movies, we're going to see this.)
I would also like these things:
A new bra. (by Victoria Secret)
Someone to come help me organize and clean my house with me.
Dirt for my garden box.
Wii
A treadmill
A bike with a cushy seat that doesn't hurt my bum.
A camera
To go on a hike
a vacation
Shoes that don't hurt my feet or insoles like these... I hear they're wonderful.

My friends and family to give me hugs and kisses...
and lots of love from James...(oh yeah...*whispering* and a baby!!!) So I know that isn't happening yet... how about a massage then? That would be wonderful....

Thanks.....

Bored?

Spiderman 3 was on today all evening and it was getting on my nerves so I came into the office to get away from the noise. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind watching movies like that, but it was certainly not something I wanted to watch last night. I have very sensitive hearing and I don't like the tv to be up loud at night (which it was). I found out that Masterpiece theater is airing Cranford and they have it online. It is in three parts. I've watched part 1 already.... you can too. Masterpiece Theater's Cranford
