All Rolled into One

This week, I'm not going to be on much,

So I'm rolling Wishful Wednesday

& Thankful Thursday into one post.

So, for this weeks Wishful Wednesday, I went back to the one just before the Halloween one... I accidently posted a previous one... so I figured I would catch back up and post that one.

"I wish I was going on vacation tomorrow and I would be going to..."

1. Alaska... so I can see where I might be living some day.
I'd like to be a little more prepared than just seeing commercials and tv shows for it~

2. Australia... Not only would it be warmer there right now than it is here,
but it is supposed to be really pretty with a ton of stuff to do and see.

So this Thursday,
Being Thanksgiving and all,

1. I'm thankful for having a family that loves and cares about me,
2. having good food in my belly & more good food to eat
3. Having good movies to watch on TV
4. Being in decent health
5. Having the best cat in the world
6. Sleep. Cuz without it I would not function!

And with that, I'm going to go get some #6. lol

Off to Shingle Springs!

Thats right!
Tomorrow I'm off to Shingle Springs again!!

I can't wait!

And it's going to be a CRAZY week!

I always have the best time up there,

whether it's just cuddling on the couch with Matt,

playing with Mayson (Matt's ADORABLE nephew),

or off galavanting around somewhere.

I'll be up there around noon

(or sometime after Sarah leaves the house bound for her dad's)

and I don't come back home til Thursday night...

maybe Friday morning.

I'll admit I'm a little nervous about Thursday.

For Turkey Day, I'm bringing Matt over to my Uncle Bills house

(my mom's oldest brother)

to eat lunch.

He's going to be meeting 2 of my uncles, a few cousins, and one of my grandmas.

Then, we're taking off to go back to his house,

and we'll be eating dinner in a housefull of his family members.

Apparently there are a few that I still haven't met

(it doesn't seem possible, but ok).

I'm not too sure what I'll be doing Friday yet,

but I'm not planning on being home any way it goes.

Saturday, I head back to Shingle Springs in the afternoon.

That evening, we are heading off to Arco Arena to see TSO

(Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

I'm pretty excited since I've never seen them before.

And it's my sorta belated birthday present!

So I'll be on for sure tomorrow,

but I'm not too sure about the rest of the week.

So I'm going to do my Wishful Wednesday

(from a past post I missed)

and Thankful Thursday both Wednesday!

Yey

All you need is love

So I got my shopping done for Matt's Christmas present. It ended up costing WAY more than I had planned.

So I'm pretty much broke... again.
So I need to find more work so I can afford gas...

and food, treats, etc.

Goody.

Oh well.

I love that boy WAY too much. lol

He is going to have a totally BOMB present though.

I got a bunch of little bottles of alcohol

and a couple of shot glasses.

Now I need to find a basket to arrange it all in...

That or I'll wrap it all seperate...

I think I might give him little pieces of it every day I see him leading up to Christmas.

We'll see though.

And for my Thankful Thursday:

I am thankful that:
I had enough money in my account today to pay for everything that I bought.

Hopefully soon I can be Thankful for having a job. We'll see.

Wishful Wednesday

'I wish' .... my life was a movie, and I would want it to be ______ genre!

A romantic comedy

I love a lot of movies from all different genres,
but if I had to pick on to live my life in, it would have to be a Romantic Comedy.

That way, I would get the best of two worlds,
I would get the comedy, which is always nice to have,
Since life always needs a bit of laughter.
But I would also get to have the romance,
which is something my life has lacked on and off the last few years
And something that I have finally found.

The picture was found at http://www.driveinmovie.com/PA/Riverside/schedule/KnockedUP.jpg

Feel like my head is going to explode.

It was a great weekend that went by way too fast.

I hate how fast my time with Matt always seems to go.

Even after spending Saturday night to Tuesday Afternoon with him,

It feels like I only saw him for a few hours.

I spent about 4 hours outside cleaning up the rabbits' cages.

I got 2 out of 5 cages done;

finished about 2 hours ago;

and now have a massive headache that is taking over.

My poor boyfriend has a shit load of dr.s appointments comming up,

so I decided to help take care of him and make him feel better.

I'm planning on going by a really cute cupcake shop in Elk Grove

and getting him a nifty cupcake.

I'm also hoping to have a little time to start shopping for his Christmas present.

I'm planning on doing a really cute basket with:

• small bottles of his favorite alcohol,
• a few cool shot glasses
• come chocolate
• and football related stuff
  (hopefully I can find NE Patriot stuff)

I got my mom's Christmas and Birthday presents done.
Sarah and I found her a really cute precious moments figurine and a music box.
Hopefully she likes them!

Now to find stuff for Sarah, Mayson, Kyle...
The last two might be a combined effort of Matt and I. lol

Well, back to making a list of my Cd's for my mom, and Next Iron Chef...
Then to bed. Yey

Next Iron Chef... or Member of TAPS...

I have become addicted to Iron Chef America recently

(Thanks Matt)

and it has renewed the crazy idea I had of wanting to be a chef. I know I would never actually do it.

I don't think I could stand cooking for large amounts of people on a daily basis.

I much rather be around people than back in a hot, busy kitchen.

Still, it's fun to watch

and it gives me ideas and motivation to get off my butt and make dinner.

I'm thinking about baking some chocolate chip cookies...

bring some up to Matt on Saturday, be a good little girlfriend. ;)

On another note,

I'm sad because Ghost Hunters Academy is going to starting on TV soon...

I wanted to go SOOO bad.

It might be better this way since I don't know when I would have had to go.

It would have been really hard to go late summer/ early fall.

So, I'm hoping that they decide to do a second season.

If so, I'm TOTALLY applying!

Then I can drag Matt with me to Rhode Island!

MWAHAHAHAHAA!!

Lol.

Back to watch Iron Chef, then to wash blue off my face & go to bed.

Night!

Thankful Thursdays

This Thursday:

I am extremely grateful for my awesome girlfriends.
I could not have chosen a better group of non-related sisters.
The can get me to try new and exciting things...

And I think I might actually do more Karaokee because of them.

It's such a rush!

For Matt, he is incredibly awesome (as usual).

I honestly could not ask for more.

For my Mom, she is pretty understanding and helps me out a lot.

For my sister, because she is a ton of fun,

and some how we manage along so well.

For Iron Chef, because it has given me the motivation to cook again.

For all my ghost hunting TV shows for keeping me entertained when I can't sleep.

And last for today:

My cell phone for keeping me connected with those who mean a lot to me.

I tripped, fell up, and landed amoung the clouds

I can't believe that Matt & I have already been together 4, almost 5 months.

We were talking about it earlier and he reminded me that come Christmas, we'll have been together 6 months.

6 Months!

Time is flying by so fast!

It's such a relief to finally be with someone who is just themselves all the time.

No need to pretent to be something that he isn't.

It makes days like today perfect.

I get to just hang out and be myself

I absolutely LOVE not having to try,

just being able to cuddle on the couch, or showing up first thing in the morning,

with no make up on, and having him thinking I am completely sexy.

Absolute Perfection.

The best part about tonight...

We we're standing on his porch,

saying good night before I had to head home,

he looked at me and said that he felt the L word comming...

but he held off for now.

I have a strange feeling it's comming out soon.

Ready or not!

And something I've been pondering the past week or so.

How long should a person wait before they say, "I love you"?

Do you wait a week?

A few weeks?

A few months?

A year?

Or is it just one of those things that you say when the time is right, reguardless of time?

What's your take on this?

How long did you wait to tell your significant other "I love you"?

Wishful Wednesday

I'm not going to be home for his week's Wishful Wednesday, so I decided to do it a little early.

'I wish' .... I never had to do _______ again.

I would never vaccum/ sweep again. It takes so much time to make sure the floors are clean and it always seems like they are clean for only a few minutes before SOMETHING gets on them again, making it seem like I haven't cleaned at all.

Hanging By a Moment

I'm back home after a nice three day weekend spent in Shingle Springs.

It seems like the more I go there, the harder and harder it is to come back home.

I'm hoping to have a full time job in the near future so that I never have to leave to come back home since thats where I'll be, home with Matt.

And I've finally fallen in love again.

I wasn't too sure that I would be able to fall in love again when Jason and I broke up, I was, first, convinced that he was my first and only love, second, that I would never be able to love someone else, and third, that no one would ever be able to love me.

After all, I was left broken.

Who would love broken?

And to end, a friend of mine posted this as their status on myspace, I saw it when I signed on a fwe minutes ago and decided to steal it & share it:

No woman will ever truely be satisfied... because no man will ever have a chocolate penis that ejaculates money.

Lucky for me, I have a man that makes me happier than any chocolate penis ejaculating money ever could.

Playing house

I feel like a cooking maniac lately. I've been on a roll with making dinner for my mom and sister Last night we had steak and mashed potatoes, tonight we had orange chicken with rice, tomorrow were having BBQ chicken drumsticks with some sort of veggie.
Then I'm off to Shingle Springs so they'll have to fend for themselves for a few days. lol

My sister made me laugh when she commented on how it felt to be playing mommy. I rather enjoy making nice home cooked dinners and making sure that things are taken care of afterwords. And at 22, playing mommy is perfectly fine with me since I totally don't want to actually be a mommy quite yet.

Freaky stuff going on outside tonight. Not quite sure where the noises were comming from, but in the dark, they sure as hell scared me to the point of needing to come inside. I absolutely can't stand creepy noises in the dark, my imagination always gets carried away and I end up scaring myself even more. So lame.

And so I sit here talking to Matt on the phone, trying to help him stay awake until he goes to work, getting more and more tired by the minute, watching Sleepover, until I finally pass out.

Thankful Thursday

This Thursday, I'm thankful for:

1. My DVR. It allows me to never miss any of my favorite tv shows, skip commercials, and never have to watch bad tv again. lol

2. Mashed potatoes. I LOVE mashed potatoes, especially home made ones.

3. The ability and willingness to cook. Having the ability to cook makes it a hell of a lot easier when I am willing to cook. Having the willingness to cook makes it fun to create new recipes and play with ones that have already been created, making them my own.

Wishful Wednesday

"'I wish' .... I could re-live ___
over and over again!"

There are a few days that mean a lot in my life that I would definatly live over again for various reasons, but the one that stands out the most is the day I met Matt in person.

We had been talking for a while and when we finally decided to meet up I was really nervous, and even more excited (I actually blew off someone else so I could meet him a few days earlier. lol).

We clicked really fast and I was able to relax fairly quickly. He understands me better than most people, and we get along incredibly well. It's getting to the point where we want to be around each other as often as we can, and I don't mind the 45 min- 1 hour drive to get there.

And I owe it all to that day.

Feeling loving?!

For some reason today I'm feeling in a really lovey mood.

It might be from the last few days spent with Matt (being with him always puts me in a great mood), and the good prospect of seeing him again tomorrow.

It might be because I have spent enough time away from home that I missed my mom and sister.

It might be all the excitement of all the new seasons of tv shows starting really soon (like Ghost Adventures in 3 days and Paranormal State on December 15) and new episodes of my favorite shows comming on soon.

Or it might just be with things finally calming down, I can relax and not worry about having 20 different things done in 15 minutes.

No matter what the reason, it's here and I'm liking it.

To celebrate my unusually good mood, I'm going to post a bunch of random quotes and picture things I've found. So have fun & enjoy.

"He was like an angel, you know? I never knew life could be like that. He was the one thing I followed through in my life, the one thing I didn't give up on. I was good at loving him."
-- The Untamed Heart

"Take love, multiply it by infinity and take it to the depths of forever.. and you still have only a glimpse of how I feel for you."
- Meet Joe Black

"School is still the same.. there's still that one guy that you get up and go to school for in the morning. The one with the mysterious confidence that every girl falls for. Those years of school wouldn't have been the same without him. I wouldn't have been the same without him"
- Never Been Kissed

"There are millions of people in this world, but in the end it all comes down to one. I still panic sometimes, forget to breathe, but I know that there's something beautiful in my imperfections; the beauty that he held up for me to see. The strength that I will never be able to say."
-Crazy/Beautiful

"Sometimes you just feel everything and nothing all at once; somtimes you'll find yourself smiling while missing something at the same time; at times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them; life comes without guarentees except that smiling will brighten your face, laughing will enhance your eyes, and falling in love will change your life"

-Crazy/Beautiful

"Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it'scalled falling in love, because you don't forceyourself to fall, you just fall."
~ Unknown ~

"Love... What is love? Love is to love someonefor who they are, who they were, and who they will be."
~ Chris Moore

Dr. Pepper: My Anti-drug

I've come to realize that I can not officially start my day without caffeine, especially when running on 4 hours of sleep (7am- 11am... Ew)

Funny enough, even though I'm running on fumes, I can't seem to go back to sleep. I blame the fact that I get so used to curling up next to Matt that when I come back home my brain picks up on that missing factor. It can't comprehend going to sleep without him there.

So, since I have to leave in not too long to go pick up my little sister from school, I'm watching Bizarre World with Andrew Zimmern and looking up lovey dovey stuff on my computer to keep my bran functioning a least until I get back home. lol.
Actually, we have a whole slew of good stuff recorded on the DVR that my sister saved while I was gone so we'll probably make some good eats, lean back and watch all of that stuff.

How I love being able to relax rather than run all day!

The picture at the top was found at: http://www.sodahead.com/other/whats-your-favorite-soda/question-653695/

Is there ever such a thing as too much alcohol?

Let's play catch up since I spent the last few days in Shingle Springs and not on the computer.

The weekend was incredibly awesome.

After a sad loss of my baby sister's last softball game of the season, I headed up to Shingle Springs to hang out with Matt.
Dressed up to the nines as a sexy cop & a ruggedly handsome country sheriff we headed out, ate some Chipotle, went and visited Colt @ his work where Matt enjoyed showing me off, then headed off to Slingshots to party.
We hung out with LaRee and some other people, drank alcohol, I got smashed, and laughed at some of the rediculous costumes some people wear.

**I apologize to anyone who is over weight and thinks it's OK to wear costumes designed for slender girls, it's really not. And when you catch us staring, it's not because you look good. It's because you look so fucking rediculous that we have to stare because we can't believe you tried it. When we turn away, we're embarassed for you and yes, when you hear giggling, it's probably because of you or a face someone made behind your back. I apologize, it's the truth.**

Anyway, on another note, I think I found my new favorite drink thanks to Matt & LaRee... Adios Mother Fucker! And, yes, that is the name of the drink. It tastes awesome and knocked me on my ass. One of those on top of the red bull coctail thing was probably enough, but I just had to finish LaRee's too. Kelly, intoxicated, while funny isn't the smartest person. lol.

Sunday was all about hanging out. Some of the best times with Matt are spent watching TV on his couch, and Sunday was one of those days.

Today we did a lot of hanging out, headed over to Arco & Matt got us tickets for TSO...

Freaking Lower Lever, center stage!

I'm super excited since I've never been!

We also headed over to my mom's work so Matt could meet my Auntie Lorraine, then went back to Matt's to hang out, watch tv, and just be us.

And now I'm going to take off cuz I need to get some sleep since I'll have to pick my sister up from school in about 9 hours... oops. lol

The adorible top button was picked up at: http://thisandthat-amy.blogspot.com/2009/09/thankful-thursday-halloween-fall.html

I think they're trying to tell me something.

Every time I watch live tv, I run into some type of commercial telling people to move to Alaska, visit Alaska, or just something about Alaska.

With the talk between Matt and I about possibly moving to Alaska sometime, I feel like someone out there is trying to tell me something. lol

I do have to admit though, I've gone from absolutly dreading going to Alaska to sort of looking forward to it. Who knows, it could be fun... right?
