My computer is stupid, so you are getting a week-in-one:

Monday, October 19:

This morning Fred took the day off work so that he could take Alex to the doctor. I got a hairchut. It was 27 euros, which is quite expensive, but the lady massaged my scalp for like five minutes, so was worth it. So, umm wash, (massage) cut and style for that. she did cut my bangs a bit shorter than i wanted, but in a week, no one will notice.

Alex and I watched Blues Clues all morning. he was all wrapped up in blankets and pillows. Cozy. Fred has baan doing housework around the yard for most of the day. We ate leftovers for lunch. I did nothing productive all afternoon, but I did call Mom and Dad.

Fred, Alex, Ben and I went to meet Gillian at the supermarket. I brought my computer, but, of course, the store sells computers, but does not fix them. Tomorrow, I will have to take it to Lunel.

I bought six pairs of long socks (they were 2.70 euros for three pairs), and five pairs of tights in an array of colors. I'm excited to wear skirts again.

Soup, roast chicken, rice, bread and cheese for supper... I am SO full now.

...Ben is now running around the house naked because he doesn't want to put his p.j's on.

So I need to get a new pen..The one that I bought today is actually a permenant marker...

Sunday, October 18:

This morning I woke up to Alex coughing and breathing funny. Last night when I put him to sleep he was fine, but when Jill and Fred got home from the movies, he was not. They were up all night with him. He has a puffer.

Fred stayed home with Alex, and Jill, Ben and I went to church. It was a good service. Laura and Sandra were there, so I sat with them. It was freezing in there. I think that they must have forgotten to turn the heat on.

After church we got home and Fred had prepared spaghetti for lunch. When I walked in the door, it smelled like Nanny Mary's house at lunch time. That made me happy.

After lunch, we chilled for a bit, and then Fred tried to fix my computer. He didn't know what was wrong with it.

I went for an afternoon stroll with the family. Even Nelly tagged along! We walked just until a car scared Nelly off into the bushes, then Fred and Jill tried to get her out. T'was a time and a half.

I colored with Alex until super was ready... Soup again.

I have to cancel my hair appointment for tomorrow because I will have to stay home with Alex, unless he hasn't gotten any better, then Fred will be taking him to the doctor. I think that they should take him to the doctor, because he sounds like he has a furry animal in his lungs.

It definately is hard to write on a blog when you don't have your own personal computer!

Saturday, October 17:

Todat, I went to the market in Sommieres with Gillian, the boys and Ezna (a lady from church) and her little girl Elise. I bought myself the jacket that I had seen the previous week. It fits nice, and I can wear a sweater under it.

In the afternoon, I was invited to go mountain hiking with the young people from church. It was an interesting drive thre, as Gillian and I got lost trying to find the meeting place. Finally, after a few phone calls, we got there. The hike was good, and the view from the top was great! You could see Montpellier, and straiht to the ocean.
I was so cold waiting for the bus home from Castineau. I was glad to get back, beause Gillian had hot soup for supper. Fred also installed the radiators and so the house is no longer like a refridgerator on the inside!

........my computer is still broken......

Friday, October 16:

This morning I slept in until 8:20, then I had a shower, got ready and went downstairs to find a large man at the door wanting to fix the shutters. ( heh... :s )
While he did that, I made some French Toast and topped it with Nutella and bananas. It was pretty yummy. Thanks to Katie Stewart, since last night, that's all I have wanted!

(this is where my pen started running out of ink)

Rachel came over with her little girl, Maryanna to visit Gillian. She is so cute (Maryanna)...

Last night, Gillian made a squash soup, so we ate it for lunch. It was really good, and tasted like Mom's. I left for school at 2:10 and got back here at 6ish. Gillian ordered us a pizza. The boys don't like pizza, so they're eating leftover pasta.

Tonight, I talked to Mom and Dad on the phone for an hour and a bit, as I have no computer...

My computer is completely bonkers! It does not work at all. I need to get it fixed pronto, because I have no privacy without it.

My teacher gave me some cute highlighters today. (If you could see this page in my journal, you would see that I got bored (probably from lack of computer) and colored around the words with them)

..I also have to go buy a new pen...The one that I bought for this is out of ink already...

I am reading my C.S. Lewis book..Maybe this time without my computer will inspire me to read more..

Thursday, October 15:

This morning it was so cold! I really didn't expect a 20° drop in temperature overnight. Brr!
So, I took the boys to school, then came back and talked to mom on MSN. Yes, she was up at 4:30am, again.

The boys ate potatoes shaped like circles and hot dogs and cucumber for lunch. I made myself a grilled cheese and ham sandwich.

Then, my computer began to be stupid. For the last little while it has been rebooting randolmy, so today, Dad got me to install security for it. After that prcess was done, my computer froze and would not restart. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone with dad trying to fix it.

I made a turkey dinner for supper (well, turkey breasts, potatoes, carrots and corn)..Haven't done that since camp.. no gravy though.. or fun friends to eat it with...

Gillian is making a homenade squash soup. It smells good.

I dropped my glass nail file on the floor and it shattered... My nais were just getting nice!! (Mom says that Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat...)

I am now reading m journal from the beginning. It is neat.

...Kinder Suprises are just NO FUN anymore! I got a little Egyptian girl holding a bucket. No fun at all...

I called Camp Keir tonight, because Youth Group is having their weekend retreat there. I talked to Amy and Bryanne (for the longest. It was so nice to talk to her, when I heard her voice I started to cry), and that crazy girl, Hannah Buell...

Wednesday, Oct 14: ( Happy 20th Anniverary Mom & Dad)

So, this morning I woke up and got ready for school. I went to the bus stop at 9:15 and waited there for 25 minutes, then walked back up the street. I sent my teachher a text asking if I could come in the afternoon instead...

So, I made beads out of magazines and straws with Ben and crocheted, and basically waited for the 2:15 bus. The boys and Gillian went to see Franklin and Friends in concert in Montpellier.

School was school. I did French work, most days, I end up helping people with their English homework too. Cheese tortellini for supper, and then called home for a bit.
