Concussed.

Jesse and I made plans Friday night at Duncan's house to go skating the following afternoon. After being ditched by everyone else, we made our way to the rink, laced up, and hit the ice. We were there for about twenty minutes when I ran into Jesse (who apparently has a chest made of bricks), who tried to hold me up, but then fell on me and I smacked my head into the ice. From there on I can only speculate as to what happened. Apparently I wanted to drive myself home (which would have been fairly hard what with having to hold kleenexes to both of my flowing nostrils) and became sort of a hard case to handle. I REALLY wanted to drive myself home. Apparently.

After coaxing me into his truck, and driving me home back to the apartment, I can only assume that he ran back to the rink (literally, he just runs places sometimes) and drove my car back. From then until the morning I can remember: eating nachos, being cold and finding sweat pants. That's about it. I'm told that I carried on a couple of conversations when Jesse would look in on me. Other than that I slept. Is it good to sleep after you've bonked your head? I'm not sure, but I was adamant about not going to the hospital. Although, would you listen to someone when they've just whacked their forehead so hard that their glasses break? I don't think I would. In other news I need to get new glasses. That blows holes in my bank account, which frankly was holding on just barely.

On Thursday I have to (read: GET TO!) go wedding dress shopping with my favorite cousin, aunt, mom and grandma. I hope they give us little glasses of champagne and dainties, like they do on television. I'm not sure when exactly Alanna is getting married, but I know they've narrowed it down to November. I like this because it probably means a dress with some type of sleeve to cover my fat arms. Although I guess I do have several months to do something about it, but I'm lazy and generally pretty fine with my body. Damn you old German grandmothers with your big arms for kneading the dough!

This weekend Jess-eh and I are going to Calgary to visit his family. I'm excited because a) I get to go to H&M and b) I get to go to H&M! I'm pretty excited about going, although I know it's not going to be as much fun as last time when I went with Clair and Leanne. Man we spent a lot of money that day. It was SO much fun though.
