quick story.






yesterday Morning, 
was leaving the bathroom. Towel still on and all.
begin to climb the stairs.
when chased back down by the bastard parrot.
no joke. i was like... wtf. why are you on the ground.. and on the stairs.
(my host mom was taking him outside i think)
buuuut.
since the bird LOVES to scare me.. and i think he can sense that i hate him.
he begins booking it down the stairs, in incredible speed.
i am like. oh god. oh god.
fuck fuck fuck.
thennn!
it finds that at the side of the stairs is a little tiny ledge that he can just slide on.
doris came down just in the nick of time and yelled at him.
but i was so scared.
fuckin parrots.
bought new shirt. mega cute.
feel homesick. 
Went to buy new jacket. was alone.
really felt that way to.
i almost began to cry in H&M because i had no one to help me pick out a coat. which 
already is going to cost me an arm and a leg.
they have soo many styles. and i really don't know which one is "me"
i know this sounds totally ridiculous.
but it made me feel like maybe i have not completely found out who i am.
needed mom.
its like. i can be 
a)cool girl with leather jacket.. 
b)stylish girl in peep coat. ( i think that is what they are called.. also lost mine a week before leaving to here )
c) and then there is the new side of me.
really cute jerrie with comfortable jacket. i must have tried this one on like 90 times.
its like. hmm, it has stuffing in it. so it is a BIT poofy. not like the gross poofy. like small for warmth. and you can wear a hoodie underneath. etc.
i like this one... but i duhno.
plus they all costed an arm and a leg.
well actually no. but now that i am an exchange student i have to budget. 
lame.
but all in all. it just made me really really really angry and sad.
thats all for now.
grace's birthday tomorrow. sleeping at Sarahs. 
new shirt shows a lot of back and sits at edge of shoulders.
will look very cute.
love you mom&dad.
JJJJJJJRAD.

Sounds like a scary movie...
"THE PARROT!" haha
I can totally visualize you in the store with your 3 coat choices!...and I would give ANYTHING to have been there to help you decide.....BUT...the purpose of this adventure IS to find YOURSELF!So go ahead! slip one on..look deep into the mirror and find what you have been searching for!

Oh sweetie. I love the PIG! I had a boyfriend once and he'd often call me "BABE" and that image, that specific pig, always came into my mind. You looked inside me. Saw my inner pig. Thanks Babe. I say either go for the Pea Coat or the Pouff Coat. I LOVE pouffy coats. Mine is green. My Pea Coat is red. I have a crazy purple druid one too. And now that you have a large inventory of my coat collection... Yesterday a child saw one picture of you at the studio and thought it was me...it was you as CRAZY RAPUNZEL looking crazy and scratching your head. HAHAHHA. I LOVE YOU. And you're never alone. Carrie

Jerrie,
Sounds like you are having a GREAT time & making lots of friends. I will be making my first trip back to Lethbridge in a long time and will arrive just in time for Halloween. I hope to see Ethan as that will crack me up! I hope he goes as a super hero like Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man etc.? Nana, made a BIG pot of Helushki as I was suppose to go down last weekend and here is the best thing, she froze it. Why didn't we thing of this concept earlier? We should sell the idea to Swanson, McCain or one of those frozen food giants. What would be better than throwing in a T.V. dinner of Helushki, besides nothing!
I enjoy reading your blogs but just one suggestion, try & eliminate the f-bombs for the "older" readers. The group that sent you might take exception? Your blogging is wonderful and I look forward to reading them. Keep up the GREAT work!
The weather here is spectacular as I still haven't had to wear gloves or a tuque. Maybe, this will hang on for Halloween and that will be a first! Speaking of the above, I bought you a CANADA tuque & scarf(& pin) to wear during the winter months. With your birthday fast approaching this might arrive just in time?
Your visit to Italy sounded awesome but did you have a pizza? I can't wait to see ALL your photos from the many sights you have seen.
Have you been to a Swiss bank on your travels? Before you leave, I will send you some money so you can pick me up a nice token from a bank. On this subject, give me your top 5 Christmas gifts(in no particular order) that you want? After, the New Year holiday it will be the BIG countdown until you come HOME! Like we all said the time is going by briskly and before you know it you will be making the flight back to Canadian soil. So keep on having FUN and I will write you soon. LOVE, Uncle KennyXOXO
P.S. I will give Molly a Benny Hill for you and will try and capture a photo of Ethan on Halloween night. I just thought of a costume for him, he can go as the Marlboro Man as this would go great with his Popeye cigarettes. Bye for now! Uncle Kenny

Hi Jerrie!
Looks like the weather is nice, and the company is even better over in Switzerland.
i'm not sure if i told you.. but my mom broke her elbow bone off.. and had to have surgery to get it pinned back in.. Anyways, your mom invited to her to a show and she thought that was very very kind.. So if Leanne if you are reading this.. my mom sends you many thanks!!
I have made some new friends back home, they are all from CCH, and they like to make fun of things and laugh just like us. SO when you come home you won't be bored by not being able to make new friends like you did in Switzerland!
Hope you are having a GREAT time over there. I am jealous whenever I visit your blog.
love ya!
Courta.

PS. I have not yet picked out my halloween costume..., perchance I will go as godzilla and destroy that evil evil EVIL spider ... if you catch what I'm saying ;)

Ok Jer you and this Parrot have a lot of work to do if you are going to conquer your fear of it...when you describe your encounters I almost fall over laughing!!

Ok here is what you are going to do next time you see this parrot and you get scared...you are going to say to yoursefl "I am a big girl and this parrot is nothing" then run straight at it and scare the shit out of it!!! Maybe then he'll show some respect for you and leave you alone!!

Sounds like you're still having a blast!! Miss you.
Bear
