Reality check

I have less than 2 weeks til I turn 27. Nooooo
Please make it stop. Argh

Another all nighter

I'm up again with the beloved floors...I'm really starting to get attached to them. It's not like I spend all night with just anyone. I hope they feel special.
I managed the other night without a drop of caffeine, so I'm attempting to repeat the feat. (wow that rhymed) If in between coats of wax I get too tired, tho, I have a Monster in the fridge to bail me out. Just in case, you know.
Tonight I attempted to write, but realized that I'm way too influenced by my muse who has a mind of it's own. I can't turn it on and off. Tonight she was definitely off (maybe it's a he) so my words sounded dry, dull and banal. I hate banality. So I'm giving it a rest for now until said muse decides to quit being flighty and give me something substantial to work with.
I think I'm rambling and it's probably due to the fact that I'm overtired and ever so slightly sick.

I wish I was more interesting :-(

Ok. My floors call. I am their servant, I must obey

Oh and after catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror I've decided that the person who wrote that saying "anyone looks beautiful after 2 am" was lying. I'm walking proof.
Goodnight (or more like off to work for me)

Life at 3 am

Greetings from a night crawler....(literally)
Hick and I are up all night tonight waxing the floors of our house. Doing it the good ol' fashioned way, on our hands and knees. I was real tired at about 1 am but I'm positively bursting with enthusiasm and energy now. Nothing like a good work-out like that to keep you awake. I think my back and legs are gonna be sore tomorrow.
On second thought, I'm actually still really tired. It just hit me. Oh well
I'll be watching the sunrise this morning. PTL

On another note...my Angel left me this morning. WEEEP. Seems to be the going trend in my life right now.

I think a poetic mood may be coming on. Look out.

Wish you were here

Life's very quiet at 3 am

Thought for the day

Weird pet peeve:
People who spell my name wrong.
One K please

Thanksgiving Pictures

So here we have our team, the 4 cooks (John, his sisters and I) in our wonderful kitchen. That studly man was head chef, and boy can he cook. John's pretty amazing.

Random shot of me looking ridiculous.

Our beautiful table set up

We even had a fire going

I made this "holiday-ish relish" which was quite the explosion of taste....never had anything like it before....went inside the pumpkin soup I made...recipes courtesy of John...Amazing stuff

Eat drink and be merry

This one's for Angel cuz she said she liked the slightly odd look on my face. Happy TXgiving my luv. I can't believe you're leaving me :(

Random Thanks

Baileys in coffee
People who care

You

My wonderful home
acceptance
resilience
secret smiles
sunsets
unconditional love
wine
make-up
hugs

I'm not gonna lie. I'm dreading today, I'm actually dreading this whole next month or so. Nothing like Thanksgiving, birthdays and Christmas to heighten the whole "alone" feeling...

But in about half an hour I'm going into the kitchen with a master cook and co., and we're gonna whip up a feast, DV. And we have wine...lots of good wine. So hopefully I will be rising above all day to the point that I'm deliciously numb to all unpleasant feelings. I kid.
I'm just trying to make the effort to be thankful. After all, that's what the day is for, isn't it.
So yes, you...I'm thankful for you. I love you, I miss you if you're not here. If you are here, well I don't miss you but I still love you. Heh

Oh and without You, Dearest Love, there would be nothing at all. So I'll spend the day with You...Ok? Thank You for keeping me company. You know I love You more than anything.

Ok that's my poor excuse for a thanksgiving post.
I'll talk to you later ;-)

Finally

Something triggered the waterworks for me the other day
I can't say I enjoyed it, but I know I needed it. I cry pretty rarely, so when I do it's therapeutic. And apparently tears are good for me....do the humble thing...heh
In this case it was a nice little crack in the walls I like to build (aka denial).I spent the whole day trying to keep the proverbial happy face on. It was tiring.
But I did and I'm moving on. I hope
I'm almost finally out of words

Here we go again....grrr

Round two of the same batch of pics...(Blogger is a pain at times...)
Pics from the morning after

Start the day off right...have a margarita....or three

Adorable Kenji's smug face (I think he just threw food at someone)

Studly men....and my arm making an appearance

Liz and I...feet bonding time

Say hello to Seth and Liz....courtesy of numerous breakfast margaritas

And after there was V-ball at Papas and Beer....(can you spot me pretending to play....)

Sort of during the wedding pics...boring ones

So um yeah, Linda took a bunch of pics of me during the wedding that amazingly enough turned out kinda decent...wow TYJ
I promise to post actually interesting pictures as soon as I get ahold of them
So til then, I love you too

Rearing my ugly head again

Time to post I guess
There was a wedding. It was beautiful. It was fun.
I got to spend quality time with friends from all over the place....And create large sleep debts that will take ages to make up. Good times.
There are pictures...lots of em, but I'm kind of lifeless right now due to said sleep debt, so I don't feel like tracking them down tonight. But soon...soon.

Boo ya...again

Consider this an update
We went witnessing today....Kenjin, Kev, Ceci, Angel and I ....it was cold and a bit slow, but it's the fact that we went out that counts, right? Amen.
My jeans that used to fit me just perfectly are baggy now, so this makes me happy. TYJ.
I feel a "forsake-all" mood coming on.... After the fires and evacuation and all, I've re-realized how little I actually care about most of my clothes and possessions (shoes are another story, lol). I'm a happy soul if I can forsake stuff. Plus my room being the cozy size it is (with no closet space) lends itself to the "as little as possible" mentality.
I love my home, I really do. TYJ.

Happy Birthday Blog

OMG I totally forgot to wish my blog a Happy 3rd Birthday as of yesterday (the 3rd)...
Cheers and here's to another year of splashing my life across the internet. Oh goodie
Ole

Bachelorettes

Singledom

Oh goodie...I'm actually updating
I just finished another 3 day detox...so if I sound weird or un-hinged, you'll know why.
Ok well I have a sort of dilemma as tomorrow we're going to Clara's bachelorette party and we're supposed to bring/wear something that reminds us of our "single" days.
I remind Me of being single, so I guess I'll bring myself as is...unless someone has another brilliant idea for me.
Honestly, I really don't have much to blog about right now. I've been in meetings all week so I haven't had a lot of opportunity or evenings (when I usually blog) to reflect and come up with deeply intelligent things to say.
But, I leave you with the last words of Queen Elizabeth I in the new movie Elizabeth....
God give me the strength to bear this mighty freedom...(the single life)

Amen
