Wouldn't it be Nice....

"If we were older?  Then we wouldn't have to wait so long..."  Did  the Beach Boys have it right?  And can I change the lyrics to "younger" instead of "older"?  Because lots of things are easier when you're younger; as someone once said "Skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts"  (Not that mine's broken, just seperated...but still)

And now it's time for me to stop rambling...and go be productive; there's a lot I need to do, and not enough motivation to do it.

Until next time, keep your friends close and make good choices.

Boldly Going...

Where I haven't gone since college. I've struck out on my own; completely. That's right, folks...I moved into my very own, single bedroom apartment!! And it's much closer to work. I love it. No one else but me to blame for a mess, no one to tell me what I should/shouldn't do. No one to distract me from what I need to do.  Also, I have the internet again!!!  I can't wait to be able to do what I want when I want.

And the best part about this apartment?  The BF is moving in after he graduates :-)  I know, it's a big step, but I think that it's going to be amazing.  Because I know this is going to work. I can feel it in my gut, and more importantly? In my heart. We had a huge fight this weekend (like he got out of bed and slept on the couch and didn't talk to me at all for almost an hour after we got up the next day...and we never really completely resolved who 'won' the argument, but I think we both got our points across to the other person. And most importantly? At the end of the day, we both know that we still love eachother.  Nothing can get in the way of that fact; not even our (Sometimes way too big...) personalities.

Anywho...no more mushy rambling.  On to some other kind of rambling...haha

I started watching OTH again...kind of addicted; I forgot how powerful some of those episodes are.  They deal with a lot of 'uncomfortable' issues.  Things that people don't want to think about let alone deal with: teenage pregnancy, abandonment, betrayal, forbidden love, jilted love, back-stapping...and that's just 2/3 of the way through the first season of, what, 9?? Insanity.  Oh, and the guys aren't anything to sneeze at either....I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm grateful for the life I have lived and the oportunities that I have had. I haven't really had to struggle in the traditional sense of the word; sure I've had my difficult times, and my emotional difficulties, my trials and the times where I didn't know what was going to happen next, but I always had friends and family to back me up. And back me up, they have.  I wouldn't BE here rambling to you guys (if you're still out there, that is, considering how long it has been since I did this...) if it weren't for these friends.

And I would LOVE to tell each and every one of you (my best friends, and my readers) thank you SO much for being a part of my life. However small of a part you are playing, or how big, I appreciate each and every one of you.  Nothing would be where it is right now if it weren't for everything that happened before now. Everything happens for a reason and I'm glad for the life I'm living.

Now, enough of the emotional, gushy "I love you guysssssss!!!"  bs.  It's time to be productive; lots of things to do, time to sleep, and people to miss... *I love you, Baby*

Until next time, make sure those you care about know how you feel, keep your hearts open to them and make good choices!

--K

Shall we say.....oops??

So much for regular updates, huh? Well, in my defense, Dear Readers (all 2 of you...lol) I have not had regular internet access since my birthday this year. And for those if you playing the 'at home' game, thats since mid- April...when I *wait for it* MOVED OUT of my parents'house and in with BB and SiL, oh and we cant forget Bubz (That would be the Baby...who is now 15.5 months old...smart as a whip, too...wow...)

And now, guess what else? I'm starting my very first salaried job on Monday! And to go along with that, Sis (not to be confused with SiL) and I, along with her 5year old, Lil Man, will be moving in together here soon...lots of changes fairly quickly, am I right?! And, not that I am not grateful to BB and SiL, but we don't exactly make the best of roommates...as in, our living habits are COMPLETELY opposite. While I can be somewhat messy, that is an understatement for them...I mean, there are times that I need to get out just because of the state of the house.

 But enough about the house...lets talk about what I know you're all DYING to know more about...ABF *dopey grin* Yup, thats still happening. We are just as amazing as ever...perhaps more so now . No, there has been no question asking, knee bending or event planning...not yet anyway.  BUT there HAS been plan making. Since he graduates the end of this school year, he is planning on moving up here and in with Sis and I in order for us to be together. And I cant wait! Because that will bring us one step closer to where we eventually want to be. (And that is right smack center in the middle of all those gerunds from earlier...asking, bending, planning.... *gazing off into the middle distance.....* OOPS sorry. My bad  * snaps up composure*)

And on that wonderfully sappy note, I leave you. And until such a time as I feel like updating you again, keep a spoonful of sugar (or jigger of whiskey, vodka, rum...whatever you fancy, friend) around to help the medicine go down and make good choices

This Too Shall (not) Pass

I think I may be starting to get back into blogging regularly again...but who knows for sure?  I'm working on a new entry for my other blog, if you don't have it, it's on my profile.  It's been almost a year since I've had a new one there and I think it's about time. I haven't found another structured quite like I do that one (around song lyrics...one song, using chunks of the lyrics to structure what I'm talking about) and I really like it.

*Abrupt Subject Change*

This past weekend went amazingly; I love spending time with him. He makes me feel complete, loved and grounded.  We went to see Black Swan, with Natalie Portman...AH-MAY-ZING...I will own that movie once it is available for personal purchase.  The dynamic nature of Portman's character from beginning to end holds you, transfixed, as you take her journey with her: her pain, struggles, conflicts and inner demons.

It seems like there's either TONS of movies out in theaters that I have to see or NONE out that I have to see and they're all crap...We've already seen Tangled and TRON: Legacy, neither of which were horrible, but TRON left something to be desired in the plot department.  However, what it lacked in plot, it made up for in original soundtrack :-) Daft Punk is awesome!!

Ok, must be off for now...until next time, keep your ears tuned to great music, and make good choices!!

For the Love of Pete...

...whoever that is.

Its amazing how a day can start out shot to shit, and end on an extremely positive one.  And its also amazing how one person can make the difference between those two extremes :-)

HO-kay, so let's start out with last night...my friend came over and we were playing a game with my brother until LATE, like 2AM, so I took him home, then came back and crashed, hard.  What I neglected to do? Set my alarm. What I subsequently FAILED to do?  Youuuuu guessed it...wake up for work on time.  Sat bolt upright in bed at 9:40AM, and realized SHIT, I needed to be sitting at my desk 10 minutes ago...and it takes me 20-30 minutes to get to work...*damnit*...so I called my boss, leaving her a message on her cell, and booked it out of my house...up and dressed in less than 5...got to work before 10:30.  I guess I'm lucky that my boss loves me and that I'm a valuable asset to her, cause otherwise it coulda been a big pain in the arse.

So then, I looked at the clock and it was moving at a snail's pace...as if an 9+ hr day (shoulda been 10.5 if I hadn't been late) isn't bad enough dealing with people who seem to have taken an extra dose of their Ignorant Pills that morning.  I wanted to cry.  But then, I started talking to ABF on FB and he started asking me questions about my plans for the rest of the night, along with my plans for tomorrow. I half jokingly asked "Why, are you planning on coming up?" And he said, "Yeah, I was thinking about it".  I immediately started grinning like an idiot and my entire day turned around.  He then said "I'm gonna go pack now; I'll text you when I hit the highway. See you soon; I love you :-*"

So now, I'm going to have a loving boyfriend waiting for me (or getting there) when I get home, and we are going to go out to see a movie and hang out :-)  Best turn around for a day ever!!

Well, that's all my ramblings for now...Until next time, keep your fingers out of your neighbor's pockets, and make good choices!

Much Needed Walk in the Rain...

Sometimes a little melodious melencholy under a somber sky is all you need to improve your mood :-)

Yeah, It's been THAT kind of day...

Hello all!

Sorry for being MIA for awhile; its been an interesting time here; I've been able to see ABF every week for almost the last month and it has been amazing :-)  I'm still getting used to the whole "my boyfriend likes hanging out with my family AND my family loves my boyfriend...BUT I'm completely okay with it.  It's just difficult to keep my head wrapped around lol   To illustrate this, I was talking to Madre and MBF (Mom's Best Friend) last night, and they both wanted to start txting him...so I let MBF use my phone to talk to him and Madre was using hers.  Then, while they were all talking, they asked me "So how long are we planning on keeping him?" My answer? "Indefinitely *smile*"  Their response? "Forever would've been a better answer!" "They mean the same thing!!!" "Nope, forever is a better answer" (NEVER argue with Madre & MBF on wine night...it just won't work haha)

SPEAKING of MBF, I'm going to her house for dinner, so I best be off.  Maybe more tonight if I'm so inclined...who knows?

Until then, keep a weather eye on the horizon...and make good choices!!
