Kicking and Screaming...

• So for those of you who haven't seen and well who hasn't but I am totally being picked on by my cousins today. For peets sake the one hasn't seen me for more than three or four days in years and that three or four days last year doesn't count because he was in town to see Great Grandpa Ketcham and I was up early most days then. So in the words of Miriam "Don't judge me!!!" Lol...I love my cousins though. I know Jeremy was just teasing but I wonder about Christy because she is the one who dragged Kimberly into it. She says she was just playing but I don't think she was. I think she truly thinks I sleep till noon every day.

• Anyways, yes there was one day that I slept till almost noon and that was only because I had a really crappy nights sleep which included about 2 hours of sleep between 3:30 am (when I went to bed) and 8 am and then I finally crashed and got some good sleep at 8 am. So all in all I still only got about 5 and a half hours of sleep that day and was up till 2 am like most mornings. Right now it is very very early in the morning when I even go to sleep and that is by choice. I could go to bed at like 10 pm but as I talk to Tim after he gets back from PT and before he goes to work. That is of course a personal choice and some nights I do go to bed early but that is like a very rare occasion.

• Also in the morning I actually wake up anywhere between 7 and 8 in the morning but I sit around and read for a few hours every morning. Usually I will read the scriptures and write in my journal before I start my day. It is a great start to any day. As you all know I am an avid reader and writer so it should be no surprise to any of you that, that is how I start my day.

• Wow...I'm sorry guys I totally did not mean to go off on a rant like this when you guys have like no idea what I'm talking about. If you have no idea what I'm talking about and why I am defending myself and ranting like this then go to facebook and look at the status message with like 20 comments from today and you will understand. Thanks for listening (reading)!!

Welcome to the Randomness of ME

• So I am bored if you couldn't tell...I spent all day yesterday sewing, all day Saturday cleaning or shopping and all day Friday and today job hunting. That is pretty much what my life revolves around now. I did however find out that both local Old Navy stores are hiring so I filled out applications for both of them today and I have already been told by the Orem store that there is a good chance of getting in there. Also downstairs at the 5 Buck Pizza they will be hiring soon too.

• I finally made it halfway through my goal of books to read this year...it is kind of crazy. But I am going to have to take a break from the Tamora Pierce books. Not that they aren't excellent books because they are but because after reading 4 or 5 in a row they all sound alike. Then again I was working my way through the Circle of Magic and the Circle Opens series...I got halfway through the third book in the Circle Opens set (Cold Fire) when I couldn't take it anymore. So I am moving on to some different authors and genres of books. But I have like five other books from the library to read so it's no big deal. Amongst them is A Lion Among Men which is the thrid book in the Wicked series...Gregory Maguire is an awesome author but I have to say Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister has to be the easiest to read ergo my favorite. I have also been reading a lot of Jane Austen remakes so to speak...or sequels.

• I am also working on 3 baby blankets a regular blanket and possibly a pillow. However I have never done an adult sized blanket or a pillow so I am experimenting there. I am also going to start doing some cross stitching again. I used to love all those needle and sewing crafts but I haven't done them in years so I figure to keep my mind and hands busy in all this free time I have any more I will pick them up again.

• So Sunday started a Family History class at church (instead of Sunday School classes). I totally love it because we are actually going to be doing the research. Now I just wish I had all my files and data out here so that I know where I left off and who I am going to be looking for. I am a Family History buff as well. Then I love history so why not know my own...lol.

• Hmmm....There is so much random crap floating around in my head that I can't keep it all straight. So I am going to go and download the PAF program for my family history class and figure out how I am going to get all of my original data here. Oh and finish my first blanket...and maybe do some reading...I don't know...I'm going to go do something...lol.

Crazy girl on the loose

• So you would think somebody with lots of time on their hands due to being sick for three days would take the time to post something on here, wouldn't you? Well apparently not me. Yes I had some sort of cold/sinus/allergy thing on Sunday and I have been in bed almost since then. Yesterday I went out to get my passport and got there just after they closed so I came straight back home. I made a to do list on Monday night and haven't done any of it. So today I am heading out here as soon as I check all of my sites and finish getting ready which includes grabbing something to eat later...but what...I don't know that pb & j would be all that great on an sesame seed bun or jalepeno and cheese bread and that's all we have. LOL...maybe just some fruit...lol.

• So things are going along great. Although, I am once again looking for a job. Feature Films For Families closed after I was finally starting to get it. Which sucks but there is something I am missing I just don't know what. I am headed to a couple staffing agencies today AFTER I get my passport...that is the most important thing I do in the coming weeks.

• Life is a crazy thing you know...what not even six months ago I was telling myself I would never get married and look at me now...some things you can never know. Although, I wouldn't change a thing. There is a reason for everything and everything happens in it's own time. Time is a very fickle thing and I'm glad of that because well so are people...lol.

• Well I should head off and finish getting ready to go out...but before I do let me just say that in the past week and a half I have finished like five books. Is that crazy or what? I am catching up to where I should be in my goal to read 75 new books this year. If I counted correctly I have finished 23 this year...mainly just since the end of March beginning of April...it took me a while to get started this year but I am working to catch up. By the end of the week I should have at least 3 more finished. We will see what happens though. I am off to the library today to return 5 of the 9 books I borrowed last Tuesday...kinda crazy...and get some more that I have on hold. I love the Provo library. By the end of next week I will have read every single Tamora Pierce book out there but her newest one...which will have to wait until the end of the year...stupid me...lol.

• Ok so now I am really off. I will update soon.

UGGGHHH...

It's 2 AM and I am still wide awake which sucks...but whatever I'll be up another few hours like normal. So here are some things for your enjoyment. Kate Voegele singing Hallelujah... Reba McIntire singing I'm Gonna Take That Mountain... Rascal Flatts singing I Melt... and Finally Rascal Flatts singing Feels Like Today...

A Walk Down Memory Lane...

So I found a bunch of disks with pictures from June 2003 to at least 2006 or 2007. I can't believe how much I changed over the last five years.

HS Graduation 2003...July or August 2003...Christmas Day 2003...Winter/Spring 2004...Summer 2004...Christmas 2004...2005... 2006...2007... 2008... this first one is Shawn Kidner(the biggest mistake of my life) and then me2009...

July Hurry Up and get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm thinking that May and June need to fly by this year...I mean faster than they normally do. I want July to come as fast as it can and then the next couple months need to go fast and then the rest of the year needs to go slow. Does that make sense? Well if it doesn't I'm sorry but I don't know how to explain it better. Recently my life has been full of difficult times and interesting twists and turns. I have been thrown curve ball after curve ball and I got through them all without too many issues. I felt like the problems that kept piling on would never end but I knew that I was pursuing the right path so I kept moving forward. I knew I wouldn't be thrown anything I couldn't handle at the time...but at one point I felt truly over loaded but after asking for help everything fell into place and I knew what I needed to do to fix each problem. So now I have a decent job...the people I listen to everyday are idiots but the pay and hours are good so I'm not going to complain too much. I found a new place to move too without a problem. I am getting married in July (no date just yet but definitely July). I am also working hard to pay off my debt before the end of Summer. Things are finally falling into place. Now there are just some smaller and easier decisions to make one of which I need to spend some major time thinking about but only I can make these decisions and that sucks. I am proving everybody wrong so far with my move out here and yes there have been a few setbacks but nothing I couldn't handle. I am happier and more alive out here than I ever was back east, even more than when I lived in Virginia and I didn't think that was possible. Life has a plan for everybody and this was the path I needed to take to find what I needed from life. Here's to being happy and content with the trials and tribulations that are thrown my way. I love waking up to the mountains and knowing that the reason I was meant to come out here is to enjoy life. Life is great!!!

GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK!!!

OK...TODAY HAS SUCKED. CAN'T I GET JUST ONE GOOD DAY FOR ALL THE BAD ONES LATELY AND I JUST WENT OVER MY LIMIT OF THINGS I CAN TAKE. GIVE ME A GOOD DAY SOON OR I'M GOING TO SCREAM...PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!!! AND I LEAVE YOU TO CONTEMPLATE THAT!!!
