Today did not start out wonderfully. I'm just hoping to make it through the rest of this dreadful day. It feels like Monday so it is nice that it's Wednesday. However, Wednesday's suck like a vaccuum.
Some day's I'm all about this life I've chosen and completely content and other day's I get really ticked at myself. I guess today is just one of the latter. I am not a happy camper.
I don't know what I did to affect other people's lives in such a negative way but apparently I did. I really wish that they would suck it up and tell me what I did wrong rather than being so stinking passive aggressive. And they're men. I mean man up and just say it to my face or get over it.
Ok- this is a little too negative and I"m sorry about that. I just don't like it when my day gets so off track from the beginning. I guess I need to get in fellowship and move on with a smile.....................................
Haha, all those dots were how long it actually took me to get in fellowship. Ugh, I need a life. :)

Kelly
It's been interesting being alone here. My roommates are gone taking in the one week of summer they have been allotted. One week is a sucky summer....I know b/c I had that last year. These 8 months of summer have been amazing for me but back to reality I guess.
I wrote a very long and honest post yesterday and accidentally deleted it which I know is a blessing. One should never be to honest on the internet.
To give you insight to what might have been if my fingers had not been so clumsy as to accidentally highlight and delete:
I wrote about who I was 10 months ago. Why I truly decided to leave school for a semester. It was blunt and it was not funny but it was the truth. I don't know where this sudden bravada came from...to share something so personal. When I've written on here in the past it has just been the ramblings of a person who had a bad day or was confused about the future. Yesterdays post was enlightening and I'm not sure that I'm okay with that.
Sitting alone in a house for a week and a half practically has given me plenty of time to think. Which is a good thing. Right? I've decided a few random things which I'm happy to share being that they are not all that personal.
1. I do not like the Dole Factory. I went there once a month when we lived in Hawaii and I would rather not go back.
2. I'm proud of my name for these reasons:
a. I'm named after a hero
b. It's my families surname from way back
c. It's Irish
3. I like the fact that I look like my great grandmother. I think it's nice for my grandmother since she lost all of her family in the war.
4. I'm surprisingly less dramatic as I grow older- which seems to be the opposite of what happens to the other women in my family (but I guess give me time. Maybe I'm just in a plateau)
5. I don't like the fact that I cannot get in touch with my Mother. She's in Scotland.
6. It's much easier to leave than be left. At least when you leave it's an adventure.
7. If you add in 1/2 a cup of self rising flour to the already 2 cups of all-purpose flour it makes your cookies just a little too....salty
8. If you're at home alone you shouldn't make 5 dozen chocolate chip cookies from scratch because there is nothing else to do but eat them. All of them.
9. Driving an hour to have dinner with my dad is completely worth it. He's amazing.
10. Being honest is really very hard...it's like you want to tell everyone the truth but you don't want to complain...so if you're having a crappy day and someone asks you how you are...is saying fine a lie? I think this is something you figure out when you're 10 but I'm behind on the curve. As Andre 3000 says, "I'm just being honest" High school, anyone?
I'm rambling again. I'm tired but I'm happy and I think that's why I decided to come back from the hiatus I took from the "Bla(h)g".
I like life. Heck, I love it. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm living it the way I should.

Overdue...
Hey!
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update ya on my life.....I've been oddly busy.
Well, I have met an amazing group of girls here and they are just sweet sweet people! I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know them. I go to two different Bible studies on Thursday. One is for PWOC- which is filled with wonderful women and the other is for people my age. I am really enjoying them both. At the PWOC Bible study we are doing a study of the Psalms of Ascent lead by Beth Moore....I've never listened to her videos before or done her books but I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! She is truly a devoted Christian and it is so much fun to learn from her. At the other one we are doing a study of Jesus making the disciples fishers of men. That is a fun study and extremely applicable.
At home, I've really been lead to do more studying then what I typically do. I think it may be because I have more time on my hands and God is telling me to use it in a productive way. So, I am doing another study by Beth Moore about being free in Christ and a study by a pastor whose name has left me....but it is on Colossians. On my own, I am reading Philippians which I am really enjoying! It's like Paul finally loosened up!!! (Is that blasphemous?) And I am about to start listening to Buck's study on Joseph. I know it sounds like a lot but lately I start reading and just keep going. It's a little weird for me but I am enjoying it. :)
Well, I miss my sister....she's awesome. :) And I love getting to talk with her on the phone. She is really ridiculously hilarious. And I am happy that I get to see Kim every once in a while.
Now, on to the really important news, LOST. Haha, just kidding. But seriously, that was crazy on Wednesday night. As if they haven't confused me enough they add in time travel! Seriously JJ Abrams and writers. Do you know what you are doing to me????
Okay, well I love ya Em. (Seeing as you are the only one reading this). And I can't wait to talk to ya later!

Weekend
This weekend was ridiculously intense. And it really shouldn't have been.
I was kind of "house sitting" and "baby sitting".
Anyway, Friday day I was all by myself and so I went to the gym to work out. Which was really fun. Just because the gym is the most amazing place ever. It's huge! But- it is extremely discouraging to be getting into shape with a bunch of people who are in the best shape of their lives. You know that no one is judging you but you kinda think they are...haha.
Friday night my aunt and grandmother came to visit and my cousins. Which was a lot of fun. We just hung out at home and watched a movie. Nothing extremely special.
Saturday M went to a party so I took E and everyone else with Meg to go see The Tale of Despereaux. Or however you spell it. It's okay. No Shrek. My aunt and Grandmother left after that and it was then just me and E---M was still at the party. E and I decided to go work out at the gym. Once we got there though it was closing...at 5 on a Saturday! So we decided to run around the track. We got into the car after we were done only to discover that I lost M's ID card! So we went back to the track (it's 1 mile around) and went around it a lot more times trying to find...in the dark...and the rain. No joke.
Needless to say we didn't find it. So we came back home and got ready to go out. M, E, and I had a great time! We went to dinner at a Mexican place and then bowling...we are really bad bowlers. :) We then came home watched another movie and then went to bed.
Today, we got up and went to church which was a lot of fun. Then we went back to the track, and looked with no avail for the missing ID card. We think it was washed away in the rain last night.
We then went into the gym to go rock climbing and that was amazing! We were AWFUL! We couldn't even get half way up but it was a lot of fun...oh, and there were definitely men who were professional rock climbers there and I'm pretty sure they were making fun of me.
Afterwards, when we were getting ready to go I realized that I lost my ID card. Yes, 2 in 1 day. No joke. I was so upset that I told the girls to go sit in the car while I looked....I was MAD! Anyway, I left very upset b/c I had no idea where that ID went to.
When we got home I took off my shoes, and guess what was at the bottom of it? My ID. Kudos to me. I am an idiot. Haha.
Looking for work tomorrow and going back to the gym and hopefully I will keep my ID on me...:)

You Know Who You Are
Dearest sister-
I know you are the only one who is reading this............
So I will talk to you.
I am moving in tomorrow. I am really excited, especially because I am extremely bored right now. :) Which would be the real reason for me to be "posting". Ah, I am such a NERD to have a blog. Haha.
I miss you. I am so happy that we spent the majority of the break together...with very little bickering to the amazement of mankind. And myself--seeing as we are both the instigator and I am generally the slightly touchy one. :) I know, I know, I'm being too hard on myself. (If you aren't Em and you are reading this- that was a joke b/c if anything I do not handle things well- which I am working on).
Being an adult sucks. And rocks. I can't tell yet. I haven't been an adult long enough to have an honest opinion yet. I'll get back to you in five years.
Oh, Ms. Thomas almost made me pay back 40,000 dollars today until I told her I was only taking the semester off and not quitting altogether. That phone call to dad would have not been fun, to say the least.
Las Vegas is going to be AMAZING! I am so excited for you. I was watching Eagle Eye today and a "predator" was like a bad guy and it made me think of Chad...haha. Hopefully he won't have any rogue machines that he has to deal with. Oh, thank him for emailing me my resume. Hopefully I will get hired immediately by someone who wants an almost college graduate and wants to pay me 100000 dollars a year. That's my new goal. Haha. If so, I am definitely not going back to college. Haha.
Okay, this is RIDICULOUSLY pointless. I felt like talking to you without calling...b/c I'm lazy. I love ya and I'm really sorry if you read this whole thing. It wasn't even funny. I'll make the next one witty and clever.
Promise.
Have a brilliant day,
your only sister. (Kelly)

Tomorrow!
I go back to AU today or tomorrow...it's almost 1 pm and I still don't know, haha. Typical.
Anyway, next weekend I am officially moving on! I AM SO EXCITED! I'm going to spend the week with Kim and Claire and then be on my way.
As for a job, I'm not completely sure yet what I am going to be doing. I have a few options and I'm hoping to figure it out so I can start having some sort of income as soon as possible.
Other than that, I'll keep you posted.
