Color by numbers....Kelly Style......

The last few weeks have been a blur. I feel like I have not really gotten anything accomplished, but then again, I have.

1. I order and received graduation invitations. My day is rapidly approaching and my invitations make me sound much more important than I really am.

2. I had 2 job interviews with the same company. Ok, not a company, actually the University of Kentucky. It was for a job with their "SNAP" program. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Basically, the SNAP person teaches those on government assistance how to stretch money, use WIC, and still eat healthy.

I did not get the job. I'm ok with it though because it got down to me and one other person and they wanted someone right now, which I can't give them until May. Life goes on and there will be a better job, God didn't want me there and I can feel it.

3. I have taken 3 midterms, written a paper, and still go to an internship where I don't get paid for at least 30 hours a week. Life can really seem yucky at times.

4. I have still managed to keep a house somewhat clean, keep the laundry caught up, yell at my husband for not helping out, etc. (p.s.--those of you with children who work and/or go to school, you are my hero).

5. I have also somehow managed to work out a few nights a week. Yay me! I have to be honest, since I have started the semester I have gained 10 pounds. Not so wonderful when you are 5'2" and already feeling not so great about your weight.

6. I booked a beach vacation with 3 people I love this week starting the day after I graduate! Happy graduation to me! Happy vacation to Jordan, Dylan, and Ang. I can not WAIT for those days to get here.

7. I have cried over the sickness of one of my dearest friends. Kim has been like a sister to me since grade school and her health seems to be rapidly taking her over. She goes for surgery tomorrow, which will leave her on 24/7 dialysis. Please pray for her.

8. I have had good laughs, great lunches, and sunshine more than once this week, which makes me one lucky girl. Even more lucky because I have a lunch date tomorrow with my 3 favorite public health majors (a.k.a.--partners in crime).

9. I pretended to be a gardener this weekend and planted tulips. Now, the low tonight is 34. So, I became that old lady we all know and went outside and covered them with a sheet. Let's hope this saves them or Jordan won't ever let me plant again!

That's all for now. Happy Thursday, even if it is a little too cold outside .

Wants, Needs, Loves

This week's list:

I want:

1. To be thinner. (even if you think I am thin enough, you don't have to look at me in the mirror and be unhappy about it. So stop right now with the "you're already thin" crap)

2. 55 new pairs of shoes

3. Ok, 60 new pairs of shoes.

4. A job that pays (unlike the internship that I give at least 30 hours a week to....with no pay)

5. A maid

I need:

1. A maid

2. 55 new pairs of shoes (ok, maybe I don't need them, but it would be wonderful.)

3. Still needing that haircut and color.

4. A day off

5. Silly kisses from my husband.

I Love:

1. Jordan (even when he DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!)

2. That spring seems to be just around the corner.

3. That my cousin posted on my facebook that she misses me. (I miss her too....and I almost

cried)

4. MY NEW CAR!!!!

5. Ashley and when she comes to see me! (Which better be real soon, by the way)

Happy almost Friday!

Bragging Right

So, my last post was a quickie. I apologize to all of you out there who truly live for my blog....bahahahahahaha.

Anyways, in the last blog I posted that I wanted a new car. I had no idea that I would actually get one in the same week. I also didn't know that it would be exactly (ok, not exactly, but beggers can't be choosy) what I wanted or that we would sell my car in less than 3 days (for what we were asking!!) after buying a new one or that we would have the money to pay my new one off.....sorry, but I had to get all that out there.

So, yeah, that's right, I got a NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, new to me, but whatever. I will be sad to see my other little honda go. I loved her, but she was a 2 door and even though it's just the 2 of us, it was getting quite annoying. (I know Ang and Dylan will be glad that we can FINALLY drive places so they don't have to all the time :) )

I'll post pictures when it hasn't been raining cats and dogs and she is clean.

(Too bad I didn't get that million dollars that was on my want list instead. This blog would be MUCH more interesting!)
