hell can't touch god's grace...and camping.
my weekend started with a chemical burn.
that's my back. it's one of the worst burns i've ever felt. i'd rather turn the stove up to ten and press my face against the element. well maybe not. but it was excruciating. i have a bad back. part of it is genetics and part of it is stupidity from my youth. so my mom put some lakota heat stuff (kinda like A535 or deep heat or whatever you put on sore muscles). 30 seconds after she put it on it started to burn like hell. ten minutes after that, i was lying face down on the floor talking to a nurse on the phone while my brother and parents took turns pressing cold cloths and ice packs to my pack. i closed my eyes and all i could image was my back looking like a picture of fire burn victim that you would find in a medical text book. 40 minutes later the picture was taken, which is why it doesn't look THAT bad. it sucked. i almost passed out.
on a more positive note, i went camping this weekend with my family. here are some highlights.
we started off hiking to cameron falls. it's one of my favorite places in YK. here's a picture of me, j-unit (my sister-in-law) and jo-nads (older bro).
after the hike, we headed to reid lake (camping site) where we hung out, laughed, bonded, ate some bannock and chili and went canoeing. here's j-unit and i rockin' the paddles in the boat.
then we packed up and left. i included this last picture because it's a good one of b-roy (aka pop star) and I.
and that was my weekend.
love,

ps. if you would be ever so kind to give me a massage, so i'll never have to endure that awful burning pain ever again, leave me a comment and i'll book an appointment. thanks.

Yikes! So, does that mean you're allergic to Lakota? Or did you mix up the "Lakota" with the "Hydrochloric Acid"?
Also, that's the wickedest tattoo.
i'm allergic to it. plus, i'm on meds that make my skin mega-sensitive. and thanks :)

My unofficial job at that conference i run, is the LITE masseuse.
I've got the hook ups :P
Plus, I hear ya on skin reactions to chemicals... have you heard my rant on I'm allergic to anything to help keep me clean?
i haven't heard the rant, but i do know you're allergic to a lot of soap stuff.

ps. hook me up! :)
I think Lakota is revenge from the Natives.
1. Dude, Bannock!
2. Once, in 3rd year university, I put aloe vera on my face and it caused a similar result. My face turned the color of a beet, and all of my muscles froze so that I couldn't even open my mouth. It was a very BAD SCENE. But it only lasted for 10 minutes or so, then it went back to normal.
revenge?! i'm one of them...i should let them know that i'm on their team. and that totally sucks leah. ACTUALLY, when i was freakin' out and my family and i were trying to figure out what to do, my older brother said, "i know! put some aloe vera on his back...that's good stuff"
haha
