Its been awhile since I have blogged....To tell you the truth, I dont even have a certain subject or topic to write about. Some of the best blogs dont, you just ramble on whatever pops into your head and you go on a rant about that and soon you got yourself a decent blog. Just by looking at the time and it being 12:34 am is another indication that this blog might be all over the place. One may ask why I would be up so late to blog??? and the answer to that question is, is because I recently caught a small (im hoping) case of insomnia. It has been going on for a couple weeks now so I am used to being up really late.
Ok so the first thought I have is that I wish I had a robot. I just got back from the movie Real Steel with Hugh Jackman sigh* and I absolutely loved it. UFC fighting just got more interesting. I dont want to ruin the story for anyone who hasnt seen it, so I wont, but the movie is basically set in the future, year 2027 I believe and instead of people boxing or fighting they use robots and its soooo sweet. I was one of those loud and obnoxious people cheering and clapping for my favorite robot haha of course... After the movie ended and I returned home I got caught up in a day dream of me having a robot. I probably wouldnt force it to fight anything, although, there is a couple people on my hitlist I would like it to give a right upper cut to... Life would be bliss then.
My next thought is how much my ankle is bothering me. I'm pretty sure I sprained it or something because it is sore when I walk on it. The story behind this is not that great, it wasnt like i was fighting a robot or anything. I was simply walking down someone's front steps and did not see that there was a big hole in the ground and that I must step to the side to avoid any embarrassment such as falling in it. So I basically stepped right into a hole that engulfed my right leg. Falling, running into things, hitting my head etc happens on a daily basis so I wasnt completely humiliated and everyone else had a good laugh about it so I was glad I could be everyone's entertainment for that evening. When I woke up this morning I couldnt help but notice a slight pain in my ankle while walking and as I continued being on my feet all day, the pain has increased and now my calf and ankle hurt. There is no swellling anywhere but I'm finding myself almost limping because of the pain I am feeling in my lower half of my right leg. I guess I will just have to see what its like tomorrow.... Im sure its fine and I am just being a wimp.
third thought: I have been doing a bit of thinking about hobbies. I realized how lame I am because I dont have any. Sure, I have things that I like to do and its not like I just sit at home and stare at a wall but I just reached a point in my life where I am just bored with my life. I go to school, go to work, "hang out" and go home to sleep or blog, in this case and I just feel like something is missing. Most people usually go out and buy a pet to take care of or jump into a relationship or volunteer at a homeless shelter but I just want to do something fun for the heck of it because I like to do it. The hobbies I came up with are :
1) Snowboarding.
I have never been and have always wanted to try it. Honestly, I dont like snow that much and winter is my least favorite season next to autumn and spring haha but I decided that I live in a location where I get to experience winter like 10 months out of the year so why not make the most of it? Besides if I lived somewhere tropical and near an ocean I would probably get into surfing so why not get into something the environment and the weather offer in my area. I like sledding, and building forts and snowmen and snow angels etc so I bet I would love snowboarding too. I realize all of these are slightly different but my point is i like to play in the snow. I bet it wouldnt even take me that long to get the hang out of it either. Also I just bought half of a winter coat that looks amazing on me and I cant wait to show it off on the snowhill (once i buy the other half of course).
2) Dance.
This may sound random but I am obsessed with dancing! When I was in highschool we had this one student teacher who taught us a dance routine and I loved it. Never been so excited to go to school in all my life! I was in a play in grade 11 and we got to do some swing dancing which was really fun too. Also, YSA dances are sooooo lame and no one has any talent we all just rock back and forth the entire evening and silently wish for the songs to be over so you can head to the desert table and do some real damage haha Other times you are dancing with your friends and no one really knows any real moves so you just wave your arms in the air and jump up and down while spinning around and while this may be a good workout and it definitely gets your heartrate going but to some outside onlooker who may or may not be a potential boyfriend or girlfriend you look like your trying to signal for a landing plane or some darn thing. You look absolutely ridiculous and I cant see how this would be attractive, Its no wonder why i never get asked to dance. Some people say dancing is pointless and you cant really use it in your life except if you become a dance teacher. Uh, do you think I am going to be snowboarding when I am 80 years old? I am allowed to pick certain hobbies that will interest me at different points in my life, useful or not.
3) Piano.
I used to play piano when I was in grade 7 or 8 and then i broke my arm which ended my piano playing hobby. I actually miss it. I love piano music and I think it would be great to be able to play some sort of musical instrument. I dont have a piano though...I have a keyboard but I refuse to learn how to play just using a keyboard. lame...I just need to find someone who can give me really cheap lessons oh and a piano....
4) Baseball.
For some odd reason I am in love with playing baseball. Its not as fast pace like other sports like basketball and soccer and I am not even that good but I love it! Have you ever seen a league of their own? I love that show! maybe thats where my passion for baseball started. This spring I really want to find a team to play on. 5) Build something.
I havent really decided what I want to build, either it be wood working or pimping up my own ride. I just think it would be a great bonding experience to work together with my dad to complete some type of big project.
Those are the hobbies I have come up with and I really hope that they work out because they seem like a lot of fun and they would keep me busy, and I want to stay busy. Anyway my thoughts are running out as it is 2:30 am! woah! time flies by when your having fun. This blog isnt anything special just a couple thoughts that I was having between midnight and now that i felt should be shared. hopefully i will have something better to talk about next time.

issues
It's currently 5:35 a.m. and for some odd reason I thought it would be an appropriate time to write a blog. Just throwing that out there so people can see how dedicated I am to this. I know I totally slack off on the blog posts but its kinda like an eclipse, It happens once in a blue moon but when it does its always...special haha. Anyway I thought I would share a couple stories about the issues with life I seem to be experiencing on a daily basis and I dont know if its from lack of sleep as I do get up at 4:30 every morning to go to the gym, school is brain washing me, or I really am half simple. I mentioned that I got up at 4:30 every morning except for saturday,sunday to go to the gym. I know I'm crazy but its the only time that I can really do it because of school and my social life. Besides I dont mind getting up early, I get alot more accomplished and I feel great all day. I go with one of my friends and we actually have a pretty fun time and I often find myself kinda getting excited to go to the gym. Here is a couple photos from our gym time haha 
there you go, proof. it does happen.
ok issue story #1:
Because I go to the gym, I have a new sleep schedule. Now that I get up at 4:30 it is death to go to bed at midnight or later. I am basically a zombie, a waste of human material by like 9pm This story which Im about to tell you is a clear example of that. So there was this one day where I was hanging over at Corey's and it was around 11:00pm and I was completely exhausted and so I begged him to take me home. When I finally got there I got ready for bed and what not and I was looking for my phone to charge because It was like completely dead and I needed it so I could set the alarm for 4:30. So Im looking all over for it and I couldnt find it anywhere. So after a couple min I stopped and decided that I would have to call it and find it that way. YES I thought I would call my phone to find my phone. So I began looking for my phone so I call my cell phone to find it. Then after a couple min I was like "wait a sec, its dead so even if I did call it I wouldnt be able to hear it ring because its dead." I couldnt go to bed without my phone because as I said its my alarm clock and I needed it to wake up in the mornings so I could go to the gym or school. I just thought of poor little Porsha sitting there in the cold dark night waiting for me to meet her to go to the gym and I was peacefully sleeping in my bed. (hich happened today, vise versa PORSHA haha) I had to let her know that I wasnt going to be able to go tomorrow and work on our fitness because I wouldnt be able to get up without my phone. So I thought "no worries I'll just text her and tell her I wont be able to make it." Again I started looking for my phone. Then I remembered that I had left my phone at Corey's. This was good news because I could just call him to tell him to bring me my phone! Thus I started looking for it one last time. Once I realized after the third time of looking for my phone which was dead and not even on the same side of town I was on, I came to the conclusion that I would have to drive over there and retrieve it before I go to bed. But there was another problem, I was down to scary low level of gas and I wasnt sure if I would even make it to Corey's house without running out. But because I am such a genious I decided that If I did run out of gas I could just call someone to come get me. YES I thought I would just call someone to get me with my dead phone that wasnt even in my possession, the phone I was out to go get in the first place.How I made it this far in life is beyone me. Thank goodness I didnt run out of gas and I eventually got my phone and was able to get in my bed without anymore unnecessary searching.
random issue story #2:
About a month ago I had my truck broken into (nothing was stolen just a damaged lock on the driver side door). Now I take precaution of locking everything up whenever I go anywhere even when I am home alone. I took this locking everything up to the next level and lock my own bedroom door. So there was this one day where I was getting ready to go to the bank because I needed to pay for my school fees and somehow I managed to lock myself out of my bedroom. My keys and school things, EVERYTHINNNNG was locked away in my room. I dont know how I accomplished this since you have to lock it from the inside without a key but thats not important, wgat is important is it just happened. Since I didnt care because I was in a hurry I thought I would just deal with this shinaniganns when I returned home. After bawling in the bank parking lot because I was reminded about how poor I was I finally returned home just to find out I was basically homeless too because I had locked myself out of my house as well. Good thing I had my phone with me so I could call my landlords to help me out. After what seemed like ten years of my life, I finally got a hold of them but Unfortunaltely they werent able to let me back in the house because they were too busy, so I had to sit around and wait for them for a couple more hours. I decided I would sit in my truck since I was freezing and it was my only shelter for the time being. I was getting really hungry like I do in most situations and I only live like across the street from dairy queen. So for feeling better purposes only, I texted up porsha inviting her to come with me to dairy queen to indulge in a blizzard while I waited for the access back into my house. In all my excitement because I was going to DQ I jumped out of the truck and skipped over there in a daze dreaming of my cookie dough ice cream goodness. When I got home I went to get in my truck but I couldnt find my spare truck key that I had been using because my first set of keys were locked inside my house and my bedroom door. I thought maybe I had left them at DQ but I should check in my truck before I quickly ran over there to find my keys. Sure enough, my key attatched to a red peice of string was dangling from the steering wheel locked inside.OH MY WORD! Thankfully my landlords showed up not long after that because I was ready to rip all my hair out.
My Issues with school:
school is actually fine. Its hard to get into the swing of things like studying and homework after a summer break but its alright. However, I have this one class that I just dont have the foggiest idea of what is going on. Whe have had 3 classes and its mostly all dialogue instead of a lecture. My prof is pretty intense though and she asks a billion questions that cant be answered . Well she answers them with another question and basically after 3 hours of this your head is in for a powerful head ache from all the confusion from this class and stress because I still have no idea what to write my paper on. We have this thing called a syllabis which is handed out at the beginning of the semester and it tells you a bunch of info about the class, what your supposed to get out of the class, assignments etc. This is what the syllabis said under "assignments" for this paper I'm talking about... "Write a paper on the issue that is constructed by the processes and structures of colonization. The intention of the discussion will be to generate new perspectives and responses to the identified issue. New perspective on the issues of be founded upon, Indigenous ways of knowing, the epistemology and onotlogical responsibilities of the indigenous peoples and integrate this perspective with a social work generalist practice approach, which will make significant contributions to the amelioration of colonial constructed social issues." oh ok.....sjfhgsdkghkdjgdkjcvbskjdbf WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? I was unaware I was taking a french class. Seriously I got so confused during class and had no Idea what she was talking about along with 99% of the class and basically gave up. Infact, during that time I was texting my boyfriend telling him we should elope to the wilderness and start up our own omish community, become the new wilderness family. I was actually making a pros and cons list of this idea but class ended half way through the list and I wasted no time lingering after class and got the heck out of there. Good thing I have 3 weeks before this paper is due because Its gonna at least take me that time to find out what the paragraph above is saying to me.
Anyway these are my issues that I am having. I dont blame the gym, I blame this one class where I use up all my brain power to understand what is going on for at least 5min of the class and then I have none left for the rest of the day and I end up doing stupid things like looking for my phone to text someone to tell them i dont have my phone 3 times, or locking myself out of everything I own. I mean most of these are regular occurances but it doesnt help the situation when you have a class like this that hogs all the brain power I'm supposed to be using for common sense! Just thought I would share a couple thoughts and stories on this lovely friday morn before I got ready for the day. I hope they are of great entertainment to ya'lls and they serve some sort of purpose besides reminding me of how handi I am. enjoy!
there you go, proof. it does happen.

marriage in the family
I must admit that I really suck at writing these blog posts and keeping up with writing them. I know I promised one every week but I was unaware of how busy one gets during the summer with work, getting ready for school, hanging out with friends and help planning a sister's wedding. Oh yes, my sister Kara finally got married on August 20th and I couldnt of been more happy for her. I'm really glad its over too. The stress of being the maid of honor can be overwhelming at times especially if the bride demands everything to be perfect. With planning a bridal shower, coming to all her appointments, shopping for any necessity she swore she needed for that day, and writing a talk for the family dinner program, the duties of the MOH come with great responsibility and STRESS. Anyway the day of the wedding finally came and I had survived all the planning so I thought the worst was over. I just had to show up in my dress and smile the whole day. Here is my story of this "perfect day."
The day before the wedding I was working on my talk that Kera and I had to give at the family dinner. I started working on it around 1pm and did not finish till the wee hours in the morning. This talk consisted of how kara and jason first met and funny stories about them. You would think this would be a cinch! but i can assure you that it was not. The story of how kara and jason first met is not a fascinating story, its not like he slayed a dragon to get to her, climbed a really long tower to save her, or travelled a great distance only powered by love just to meet her. and from my understanding kara didnt eat a poisoned apple, prick her finger on a spinning wheel, or get locked away in a castle with her only friends as mice waiting for her true loves kiss. Those would have made good stories. Anyway, we made do with what we had. Next we had to come up with funny stories about them. This was really difficult because my sister is not that funny. Like she can be funny sometimes like she can pull some pretty amusing faces, and she comes up with some real good one liners but nothing super embarrassing that you only use as wedding talk material. Most people you can reminisce about the good old days and have about 10 stories in a couple hours. If your anything like me, you can just wait five min and I will give you a brand new story because I do something embarrassing everyday of my life. Kara is the opposite, I actually had to put some thought into this. Finally after brainstorming, for a whole frito lay shift (8hrs) I proudly came up with 4 good stories, I even wrote them down so I would not forget and have to go through another painful shift only thinking about kara. Jason was a little more tricky because I did not grow up with this boy and everyone else who did, couldnt think of a story either. I tried calling his younger brother and one of his friends hoping they could give me some dirt on jason but nobody had any appropriate stories EEP! I was ready just to make up a great false outlandish story of my own but then finally a couple of jason's friends called me and saved me and I was able to finish this talk by 3am.
**********The next day. THEE DAY**********
I had to wake up eary because I had a hair appointment which was at 9 am. I was just planning on getting it styled for the wedding because I have never had my hair professionally styled for anything, not even my graduation. Only because I wore a neckbrace when I graduated because I had a broken neck. This made it hard to colour or, wash my hair at a salon, I couldnt even trim it!. So the only thing the hair dresser could do is curl it normally, inwhich it came out by the time I got back to Stirling. So I was a little excited that I was getting my hair done. Also I didnt really want to worry about doing my own hair. I swear my hair knows when there are important events going on that day and it totally acts up and gives me attitude. for real it has a mind of its own, but I thought it was nothing professionals couldnt handle. So I arrive at chatters and ask for the beach wave kind of look, I showed the hair stylest a picture exactly of what I wanted. I was going to get some hair extensions but I couldnt because they had none that matched my hair colour. My hair was too dark because I dyed it the night before for a little change plus hair people overcharge for colouring anyway so I wanted to save some money. Anyway it was a no go on hair extensions. So the hair dressor got to work on my hair and really this was our conversation:
Hair dresser (we'll call her Betty): your hair is really dry
me: well....is there any products that I can use to add moisture to it?
Betty: anything that says moisture on the bottle
me: is there any top products that I can use that are really good for moisture?
Betty: this moroccan oil is really good but its expensive. it makes your hair shiny and soft. you can feel a difference just after one use.
me: turns out i already have this oil, it was $40 and it actually does work I just dont use it all the time because it was expensive and I want to savour it for all the special times in my life haha. k lol
Betty: when was your last appointment?
me: early june...
Betty: yes, well you have split ends.
me: trim them?
Betty: who did your hair last?
me: some girl at chatters on the southside ( k this girl who did my hair last ruined my life because she gave me the worst hack job ever ! its like she tried to put in layers but had no idea what she was doing! its like she put a bowl on top of my head and cut around the bowl with just the top layer of my hair. Its hideous! I explain this to betty).
Betty: yes, I dont understand what she was trying to do here. To trim your hair Im gonna have to take 2 inches off.
me (who has been trying to grow out my hair forever, gasps): just do the bare minimum, Im trying to grow my hair out
Betty: when was the last time you thinned your hair out?
me: I never have, I just have really fine and thin hair
Betty: never? are you sure? its really thin
me: never. its natural
Betty: hmpff well dont ever thin your hair out again because it is already really fine and thin.
me: k..... *long pause* is there anything good about my hair?
Betty: uh......*another long pause* hmmmmmmm....... I like the color.
me: I dyed it yesterday....oh good at least I did something right.
Betty carries on curling my hair and soon she is done and she turns me to the mirror. What I see is not what I had pictured at all, it didnt even resemble the picture I showed her of what I wanted my hair to look like. Instead it looked like I had curled it the night before and had the most wildest sleep. Or I lived in this dumpster bin and didnt own a brush or a shower for that matter. I promised myself I would fix it when I got home and I quickly went to pay so I could leave. "$60.67 please?" Mother fuuuuuuuuuuuu..... ! no i didnt really curse but are you kidding me? I had to pay $60 just to get my hair styled how I didnt want it and get critisized the whole time I was there? I drove to kera and alissa's house to wash it out and start all over again and washed it, blow dried it, and curled it in a matter of a half hour. So it was a miracle I was even smiling when I finally arrived at the wedding to begin with. Then, I thought that the worst was over. I had made it to the wedding, I still looked somewhat presentable, and I wasnt late. But no! I started to feel a bit ill, like the chills came and I wanted to stand in the hot 32 degree celcius sun to warm up, I felt a bit achy which is ten times worse when your wearing high heels standing for pictures all day. At the family dinner the only thing I could force myself to eat was the small portion of peas and carrots. The family dinner wasnt all too bad. I had to give a talk but even that went all right. It wasnt as funny as it was at 3am but nothing ever really is, I didnt fall off the stage which I was kind of worried about too so I would say everything went well. Then came the reception, where I had to stand in line and shake people's hands as they walked by. my poor feet! and I swear if I got a dollar for everytime someone walked through and said any of these phrases "oh such a sweet younger sister, oh your older? and ya let her beat ya? " or " are you jealous that she is getting married and not you?" or "when are you planning on getting married, your next you know? is there even a guy in the picture?" I would of been able to join kara and jason on their honeymoon paying mine and their way lol. Like what do you say to these people?
To tell you the truth, Im not that jealous at all. Maybe I was a little at first but it wasnt just because Kara was getting married first it felt like all my friends were getting married and I hadnt reached that step yet and I thought there was something wrong with me. Although that still may be true, I have come to accept it and move on. If anything I am more excited about my wedding. Its gonna be alot different then Kara's I think. Not that she threw a bad one but I am different and I like things to be unique. I am excited because I know I can have a wedding too and I get to look forward for that day while kara's has gone and passed. Im not going crazy and planning it out right now but I just cant wait for that day and when it finally comes I'll be as happy as she was. HAPPY not BOSSY. I make an oath right now that I will not be a bridezilla. I am however, jealous of a couple things. First of all, They bought a house. Its a cute little brand new house and Im jealous becuase I live with roommates and I long to have a place of my own. second, the honeymoon. I really need a vacation but I have no money to go anywhere farther then work and back :( Oh well like I said my time will come. I am actually excited to see how their marriage all plays out. Of course I wish them both the best and they both know that I love them dearly. So heres to having a new brother in law and a sister thats married!
The day before the wedding I was working on my talk that Kera and I had to give at the family dinner. I started working on it around 1pm and did not finish till the wee hours in the morning. This talk consisted of how kara and jason first met and funny stories about them. You would think this would be a cinch! but i can assure you that it was not. The story of how kara and jason first met is not a fascinating story, its not like he slayed a dragon to get to her, climbed a really long tower to save her, or travelled a great distance only powered by love just to meet her. and from my understanding kara didnt eat a poisoned apple, prick her finger on a spinning wheel, or get locked away in a castle with her only friends as mice waiting for her true loves kiss. Those would have made good stories. Anyway, we made do with what we had. Next we had to come up with funny stories about them. This was really difficult because my sister is not that funny. Like she can be funny sometimes like she can pull some pretty amusing faces, and she comes up with some real good one liners but nothing super embarrassing that you only use as wedding talk material. Most people you can reminisce about the good old days and have about 10 stories in a couple hours. If your anything like me, you can just wait five min and I will give you a brand new story because I do something embarrassing everyday of my life. Kara is the opposite, I actually had to put some thought into this. Finally after brainstorming, for a whole frito lay shift (8hrs) I proudly came up with 4 good stories, I even wrote them down so I would not forget and have to go through another painful shift only thinking about kara. Jason was a little more tricky because I did not grow up with this boy and everyone else who did, couldnt think of a story either. I tried calling his younger brother and one of his friends hoping they could give me some dirt on jason but nobody had any appropriate stories EEP! I was ready just to make up a great false outlandish story of my own but then finally a couple of jason's friends called me and saved me and I was able to finish this talk by 3am.
**********The next day. THEE DAY**********
I had to wake up eary because I had a hair appointment which was at 9 am. I was just planning on getting it styled for the wedding because I have never had my hair professionally styled for anything, not even my graduation. Only because I wore a neckbrace when I graduated because I had a broken neck. This made it hard to colour or, wash my hair at a salon, I couldnt even trim it!. So the only thing the hair dresser could do is curl it normally, inwhich it came out by the time I got back to Stirling. So I was a little excited that I was getting my hair done. Also I didnt really want to worry about doing my own hair. I swear my hair knows when there are important events going on that day and it totally acts up and gives me attitude. for real it has a mind of its own, but I thought it was nothing professionals couldnt handle. So I arrive at chatters and ask for the beach wave kind of look, I showed the hair stylest a picture exactly of what I wanted. I was going to get some hair extensions but I couldnt because they had none that matched my hair colour. My hair was too dark because I dyed it the night before for a little change plus hair people overcharge for colouring anyway so I wanted to save some money. Anyway it was a no go on hair extensions. So the hair dressor got to work on my hair and really this was our conversation:
Hair dresser (we'll call her Betty): your hair is really dry
me: well....is there any products that I can use to add moisture to it?
Betty: anything that says moisture on the bottle
me: is there any top products that I can use that are really good for moisture?
Betty: this moroccan oil is really good but its expensive. it makes your hair shiny and soft. you can feel a difference just after one use.
me: turns out i already have this oil, it was $40 and it actually does work I just dont use it all the time because it was expensive and I want to savour it for all the special times in my life haha. k lol
Betty: when was your last appointment?
me: early june...
Betty: yes, well you have split ends.
me: trim them?
Betty: who did your hair last?
me: some girl at chatters on the southside ( k this girl who did my hair last ruined my life because she gave me the worst hack job ever ! its like she tried to put in layers but had no idea what she was doing! its like she put a bowl on top of my head and cut around the bowl with just the top layer of my hair. Its hideous! I explain this to betty).
Betty: yes, I dont understand what she was trying to do here. To trim your hair Im gonna have to take 2 inches off.
me (who has been trying to grow out my hair forever, gasps): just do the bare minimum, Im trying to grow my hair out
Betty: when was the last time you thinned your hair out?
me: I never have, I just have really fine and thin hair
Betty: never? are you sure? its really thin
me: never. its natural
Betty: hmpff well dont ever thin your hair out again because it is already really fine and thin.
me: k..... *long pause* is there anything good about my hair?
Betty: uh......*another long pause* hmmmmmmm....... I like the color.
me: I dyed it yesterday....oh good at least I did something right.
Betty carries on curling my hair and soon she is done and she turns me to the mirror. What I see is not what I had pictured at all, it didnt even resemble the picture I showed her of what I wanted my hair to look like. Instead it looked like I had curled it the night before and had the most wildest sleep. Or I lived in this dumpster bin and didnt own a brush or a shower for that matter. I promised myself I would fix it when I got home and I quickly went to pay so I could leave. "$60.67 please?" Mother fuuuuuuuuuuuu..... ! no i didnt really curse but are you kidding me? I had to pay $60 just to get my hair styled how I didnt want it and get critisized the whole time I was there? I drove to kera and alissa's house to wash it out and start all over again and washed it, blow dried it, and curled it in a matter of a half hour. So it was a miracle I was even smiling when I finally arrived at the wedding to begin with. Then, I thought that the worst was over. I had made it to the wedding, I still looked somewhat presentable, and I wasnt late. But no! I started to feel a bit ill, like the chills came and I wanted to stand in the hot 32 degree celcius sun to warm up, I felt a bit achy which is ten times worse when your wearing high heels standing for pictures all day. At the family dinner the only thing I could force myself to eat was the small portion of peas and carrots. The family dinner wasnt all too bad. I had to give a talk but even that went all right. It wasnt as funny as it was at 3am but nothing ever really is, I didnt fall off the stage which I was kind of worried about too so I would say everything went well. Then came the reception, where I had to stand in line and shake people's hands as they walked by. my poor feet! and I swear if I got a dollar for everytime someone walked through and said any of these phrases "oh such a sweet younger sister, oh your older? and ya let her beat ya? " or " are you jealous that she is getting married and not you?" or "when are you planning on getting married, your next you know? is there even a guy in the picture?" I would of been able to join kara and jason on their honeymoon paying mine and their way lol. Like what do you say to these people?
To tell you the truth, Im not that jealous at all. Maybe I was a little at first but it wasnt just because Kara was getting married first it felt like all my friends were getting married and I hadnt reached that step yet and I thought there was something wrong with me. Although that still may be true, I have come to accept it and move on. If anything I am more excited about my wedding. Its gonna be alot different then Kara's I think. Not that she threw a bad one but I am different and I like things to be unique. I am excited because I know I can have a wedding too and I get to look forward for that day while kara's has gone and passed. Im not going crazy and planning it out right now but I just cant wait for that day and when it finally comes I'll be as happy as she was. HAPPY not BOSSY. I make an oath right now that I will not be a bridezilla. I am however, jealous of a couple things. First of all, They bought a house. Its a cute little brand new house and Im jealous becuase I live with roommates and I long to have a place of my own. second, the honeymoon. I really need a vacation but I have no money to go anywhere farther then work and back :( Oh well like I said my time will come. I am actually excited to see how their marriage all plays out. Of course I wish them both the best and they both know that I love them dearly. So heres to having a new brother in law and a sister thats married!

Summer thus far
I know I said I would write a blog every week but it is just so hard to keep up with it when you are running out of things to talk about. Yes, me running out of things to talk about? imagine that. Since it has been quite awhile and I know there are alot of my fans out there probably going through kaylee's blog withdrawals, I'll write one about my summer thus far and save you all.
There is really nothing too exciting happening with my summer at all. Im not going on any extravagant trips half way around the world :,( even an over night camping trip seems out of reach at this point. Mostly I have been working at that lovely old chip factory, Frito Lay Canada, boxing chips so they can be delivered to stores near you. I actually dont mind working there, I know I complain about it alot but honestly its not that bad at all. I have friends there, 6/7ths out of my family works there hahaha, I work mostly day shift (7-3) and I get paid pretty good for the work that I do. As sad as this might sound, I might actually be quitting Frito Lay soon for when I get back to school this september. :(. For 3 years I have usually worked weekends while I was going to school so I could make extra cash but this year I am a little bit worried because I am in university!!!!! I just want to focus on school because its gonna be a bit harder and I am a bit overwelmed being in university and all. plus I want to have a social life as well and actually start going to church! I probably wont know what to do with myself because I havent had my weekends free for like 3 years!!! I just hope that I wont be burried in all my papers and I will actually be able to go out and have some fun. The cons of this: I will have to take out student loans and will probably spend the rest of my life trying to pay them back. I will just have to be very careful since thats what I will be living off of till april when Frito Lay will hire me back as a seasonl employee (fingers crossed). I took out like 3 grand the first year I went to college and well Hawaii was amazing and I bought a lot of adorable things to look absolutely amazing for college... hahaha maybe I will be camping sooner then I think lol. eep! Its not like I cant get a little walmart cashier job or something if I am really hurting for money. K I have to stop talking about work, im there 40 + hours a week and I spend the rest talking about it, its exhausting and its my day off. I should actually be looking for a place to live right now. My lease is up at the end of august and I havent found a place to live while im going to school. No offense, I dont want to move back home. I know it would be way cheaper but I drive a pig on gas of a vehicle and I refuse to sell it and go back to a car. And travelling to the West side everyday would be the same as rent would be anyway, so it makes sense to just stay in Leth. Maybe I'll just live in my truck. There problems solved. If everything could work out perfectly I would find a cheap, 1 bedroom place to live that allows pets so I can get a kitten or a pet snake or something.
Now that I have been rambling on about my plans after summer or whatever I was talking about haha I'm gonna talk about the fun things I have done or will do this summer. I have done a couple day trips to Waterton and Writing on stone. I have to say Writing on stone is one of my favorite places to go in Alberta! climbing the hoodoos are so much fun and a great work out! I wish i could post some pics but I just got a new camera and for some reason I am having a bit of trouble uploading some pics so you will just have to wait until they reach facebook.
August is going to be a really busy month for me, worrying about going to school, tuition, kara's wedding, student loans, moving AHHHHH! Im freaking out just thinking about it all. I am actually excited about kara's wedding. I just tried on my bridesmaid dress the other day and I do say I look ravishing in it. hahaa I just need to grow some boobs by august 20th. I have been a flower girl at a wedding before but never a bridesmaid so Im excited. Alot of my friends are getting married this summer which is really weird to think. Like am I at this age already? Like people that were in my high school grade are already married and having children! At first I was jealous of everyone and thought there was something wrong with me but I just have to keep in mind that I'm only 22 and although I am in my prime and my biological clock is ticking I have more then enough time to settle down and pop out a couple children. Another thing I am excited about this summer is finally meeting corey's family! his grandma is coming down from Nova Scotia early august so it will be nice to meet her and I dont know when his parents are coming but hopefully I will meet them soon too. I have been happily dating that cute boy's face for 6 months now and he is awesome.
Like I said, I dont have any real cool trips lined up this summer. I was planning on going to vegas with a couple friends right after kara's wedding but I dont think that is going to happen anymore now that I am as poor as a church mouse. I wish I could go back to the days where I didnt work and I went to the stirling pool everyday and went camping with the family to Elk water every year. I dont know if I can pick out my favorite summer but I have thousands of great summer memories camping with my family. Now that we are all older its hard for everyone to get off work and pack up and leave :( I remember going camping this one time though. we had this little red truck and we hooked up our tent trailer and away we went. All us kids were in the back of the truck with the topper on and we made this big bed with a mattress and just layed back there the whole way talking and laughing, just all excited about camping. That was really fun. I guess I do have a favorite camping trip. One time my family went camping with another family we were really good friends with. It was alot of fun because my best friend came with and we got to hang out the entire time. I remmeber this really long bike ride we went on. Kara and her friend, me and my friend and both our dads went on this long journey and although there were alot of falls and scrapes and bruises it was alot of fun. I like hiking and biking and all that fun jazz. Boating is another one of my favorite summer activities. I have never tried wakeboarding but I really want to. The boat that we have only pulls tubes but its still fun. I havent gone yet this year but when we do its always a great time. We have this knee board we found at the dump haha and its my favorite boating toy. I like to try and stand up on it SO MUCH FUN!
Anyway I should probably do something productive for the rest of the day. hopefully it wont be too long since I write another one of these things. I hope this will do until something interesting actually happens to me this summer. so until next time Peace!

Happy Belated Fathers Day
I have had a couple questions asked of why I haven't written anymore blogs recently and when I'm going to write another one, so I decided to take the time today to write a little bit and make everyone happy. Since it was father's day a couple days ago I think it is appropriate to write a blog in honour of my pa. I can say alot of things about my old man and chances are he wont even read this so I can probably get away with some embarrassing stories! but Lucky for him, I think we have a pretty great relationship so I wont say anything offensive of course. For this blog I wanted to obviously tell a couple of stories about my dear old dad, some good memories I have with him and just how he is an all around great guy.
For all of those who dont know much about my dad, I would have to say his sense of humor is the best thing about him. I dont know how to explain it but he just says the darnest things sometimes. For an example. Its a little gross but Im gonna tell it anyway. My brothers wanted to go to midnight madness at the mill and my dad is pretty strong on the curfew rule of being home at midnight. To make my brothers decide not to go to the movies he said "well make sure you leave us some money before you go cuz I'm not paying 10 grand to burry you." (he thinks that being out after midnight your chances of laying dead in the ditch somewhere is ten times greater, hence the midnight curfew) anway he is like "I just hope they prop you guys bottoms up so you will at least make a decent bike stand" hahahahaha maybe I have a warped sense of humor but that comment had me going pretty good.
Working with my pops can also be a treat. My favorite is when we work on the same shift, not because he buys me lunch, although that is a bonus, but because I can sit and visit with him on my breaks or see him doing his daily laps around the plant while I'm working. Its just comforting that he is in the same building. When I lived at home I had the pleasure of riding with him to work during the summertime. It was so funny because everytime we got in the car we would go through the same routine EVERYDAY. First he would turn on the gps. You would think that going to work 5 days a week you would never forget where that awful factory is but we had to have to gps on just incase. Once we got going he would always test the horn. He would just honk it and always say "well the horn works" hahahahaha then he would turn on the radio which was always 107.7 the river and we would always argue if the anouncer's name was Carly Pyne or Carly Fine, I dont think we ever looked it up to figure out who was right. I dont think we wanted to because this topic made great conversation and knowing the answer would just screw up our routine. But Im pretty sure its not Carly fine though, dad. Then he would test me to see if I knew what song was playing on the radio and who sang it. I loved every min of it and I couldnt wait to go home and do it all over.
Another favorite thing to do that me and my dad share is go christmas shopping for my mom. We usaully go just by ourselves and it takes forever but its soooooo much fun. I do like hanging out with my dad.
My dad sometimes hauls beets for some extra money in Taber. He used to Haul water years ago and I loved going with him. So when he hauls beets I will go and sit with him in the truck and keep him company. You would think it would get boring but I never get bored talking with my dad. Last time he let my drive which was really fun.
He is really good to talk to too. When Im having a bad day or I need to vent then I ask my dad to take me on a date and he does and then we talk. Its great.
When I was like 14 we used to go on bike rides alot because he was trying to lose some weight and we would ride our bikes to raymond and stop at fast gas for a pop or an ice cream cone (which kinda defeats the purpose, I know but so worth it) and then start our long journey home again.
Playing hide and go seek was always a enjoyable experience as well. We would always have our dad go and hide and all us kids had to go and find him. All the lights would be off and we were all too scared to go find him becasuse he would always jump out and scare ya and chase you all the way upstairs hahaha. So we would all go downstairs all huddled together with our flashlights pointing in different directions and then someone would scream and we would all take off running. This one time he was hiding in the laundry room sitting on top or the washer and we all knew where he was but we were all to scared to go in and get him. So we would sit on the stairs and be like "we know where you are, your in the laundry room!" and he is like "well come find me then" and we would just sit on the stairs having a mini conversation with him and then finally we would all go in to get him and sure enough he would pop out and scare us and we would all take off running up the stairs with him chasing after us. It was soooo much fun.
Lets see, my dad is also a very merciful man. I can remember this onetime when I was quite young, when kara and I shared a room, and we were having a little trouble getting to sleep and my mom sent him downstairs to give us a spanking to help us out after many ignored warnings. So my dad came down to give us our beating but by some miracle we were able to pursaude him into not giving us a spank if we helped him pull of his peeling sunburn skin. haha I know gross but I would do anything to get out of a spanking. Not just that time too, I can remember being grounded for something and the only way I could become ungrounded was to beat him in a game of chess which was impossible! One time he made me sit through a whole NASCAR race to become ungrounded. I think I would have chosen a spanking if it were an option. Nevermind dad I will just take being grounded forever hahaha I know he was just lonely and looking for any excuse to hang out with me even if it were to ground me for awhile.
I think my dad missed me the most when I moved to leth. He always gets this big smile on his face when I come home. He has also told my mom that he missed having me around cuz I was always involved in whatever my family was doing. What he meant is that Im the life of the party. hahaha I miss my dad too, Now if I want to go see what he is doing in the garage I have to drive all the way home, and I dont get to ride with him to work anymore :(. I guess we could ride our bikes and meet half way but I dont think wilson's siding sells any ice cream so what would be the point? Like I said, my dad and I have a special relationship so its not hard to make new memories. Maybe these stories seemed lame to anyone who reads this but I treasure them for sure and I always will. Im thankful for my dad and all of the fun we have together. I know I can count on him and call him for anything and he is more then happy to help me out. So I just wanna say that I love you dad and in my opinion your the best dad ever!
For all of those who dont know much about my dad, I would have to say his sense of humor is the best thing about him. I dont know how to explain it but he just says the darnest things sometimes. For an example. Its a little gross but Im gonna tell it anyway. My brothers wanted to go to midnight madness at the mill and my dad is pretty strong on the curfew rule of being home at midnight.

So my dad came down to give us our beating but by some miracle we were able to pursaude him into not giving us a spank if we helped him pull of his peeling sunburn skin. haha I know gross but I would do anything to get out of a spanking. Not just that time too, I can remember being grounded for something and the only way I could become ungrounded was to beat him in a game of chess which was impossible! One time he made me sit through a whole NASCAR race to become ungrounded. I think I would have chosen a spanking if it were an option. Nevermind dad I will just take being grounded forever hahaha I know he was just lonely and looking for any excuse to hang out with me even if it were to ground me for awhile.
I think my dad missed me the most when I moved to leth. He always gets this big smile on his face when I come home. He has also told my mom that he missed having me around cuz I was always involved in whatever my family was doing. What he meant is that Im the life of the party. hahaha I miss my dad too, Now if I want to go see what he is doing in the garage I have to drive all the way home, and I dont get to ride with him to work anymore :(. I guess we could ride our bikes and meet half way but I dont think wilson's siding sells any ice cream so what would be the point? Like I said, my dad and I have a special relationship so its not hard to make new memories. Maybe these stories seemed lame to anyone who reads this but I treasure them for sure and I always will. Im thankful for my dad and all of the fun we have together. I know I can count on him and call him for anything and he is more then happy to help me out. So I just wanna say that I love you dad and in my opinion your the best dad ever!

KAYLEE'S BUCKET LIST
It has been quite some time since I last wrote a blog and since its a cloudy wednesday afternoon and I have nothing better to do, no money to shop online with, the laundry is all done, no one on facebook to talk to, and cant afford the gas to go anywhere, I guess I can spare an hour or two and write another of my famous blog posts. This post is going to be a bit different from my other silly ones. I thought that I would try and write a somewhat serious one. I have been thinking about what I want in life and stuff like that and then an idea of making a bucket list came to mind. It seemed like a bit of fun to make one up so I am going to try and do that on here.
KAYLEE'S BUCKET LIST
1. great, im already stuck on #1. Dont bucket lists go up to 100? Im sure in for a long day...its a good thing there isnt much going on today so it wont be hard to lose my focus. ok this wont be in order its just things on a list that I would like to do before I "kick the bucket." Some may sound really strange, outrageous, and probably impossible but just keep in mind that this is MY bucket list and if you have a problem with any of them or dont quite understand some of them, there is a comments box where you can ask questions after I have published this, where you are free to comment or place your opinion about anything or everything of the subject and I would be happy to get back to you. Also I invite you to maybe make one up of your own because it could be interesting to see what kind of ideas other people come up with and you can get more ideas. Plus it may be kinda fun to go back and see what you wanted to do. Like when your 80 years old and you know your time is coming and you pull out this post on the new ipad1000 and your like "oh frig, I really havent tried doing that backflip on a wakeboard wearing only my underwear yet" so you pull out your favorite granny panties and you go on a boating trip with your grandchildren and they throw you on your wakeboard and your doing great, your really feeling it and you try to do the backflip and thats how you perish. Maybe it seems like a good way to go, you are wearing your favorite granny panties and you died doing your bucklist. My point was that it might be fun to look back on this to see some of the crazy things you put on there. I guess number my #1 is creating a bucket list. wow look at me go! By the time I'm done this list I will have already completed one of my things!
2. lose ten....twenty pounds. Ok before I get like a million people placing comments in my box telling me to shut up and not be so stupid. keep in mind this is my list and while I am happy to hear whatever you have to say, just remember that maybe over the course of my life I will gain ten or twenty pounds or a hundred and this will be a goal of mine. Considering how I eat sometimes this doesnt really seem like a silly goal to have either. How about to be safe I will just put Lose weight or be healthy.
3. grow long HEALTHY hair! I have been trying to do this for awhile, using shampoo and conditioners specifically for people trying to grow their hair out, not cutting it ever, and actually brushing it and taking care of it and it seems like its getting no where. I want it to be at least down to my middle lower back. hopefully in the future if I dont give up before then and cut it, it will decide to grow for me and I will be a very happy person. Not just cuz I finally have long hair but I can cross number 3 off of my bucket list.
4. Lose my love handles!!!!!! AAAHHHHHH seriously they are the bane of my existence and they look so horrible! I dont get there purpose at all beside making me feel like Im 300 pounds more then I actually am. Or making me look like I just smuggled an elephant from the zoo or whatever but they are sick and they make me sick when I have to look at them. I think I'm getting sick just think about them. I have been told that boys like them. EWWW well they can just fall in love with my adorable toes instead or my long healthy hair Im trying to grow out.
5. Get good grades in Univerisity. self explanatory, everyone wants good grades and will have to work hard for it.
6. Graduate from my two year social work program. Honestly I dont care how long this takes me, preferrably two years since it only is a two year program but if it takes me more then that then whatever. I just want to graduate from something.
7. Find an amazing, good paying career in which I LOVE to do. Again hopefully something that has something to do with social work (what im going to school for but if its not and and its an amazing, good paying career in which I LOVE to do, I probably wont complain) but I do have a plan if that doesnt work out.
8. Take up piano lessons again and complete it. I used to but I had to quit becuase I broke my arm and you kinda need that to play. I love piano music, currently I have a keyboard but If I'm going to be a legit piano player Im gonna need a legit piano...
9. Once I have completed all piano lessons, purchased a grand piano, made a cd who knows, I would like to teach!
10. Join a sports team. I do like to play sports! I just have never really done so, I mean I played basketball a bit but its not my favorite. I tried out for football early this year but it was so expensive I had to quit. :( I loved it though but a little rough for me who has broken my neck already in my lifetime. I would like to play baseball. I dont know why, but I think that girls who play softball/baseball are hot. No I am not a lesbian, but seriously baseball players of any gender is flippen sweet and thats what I really would like to do.
11. Travel. Ok everyone wants to travel, I know. I would like to visit Hawaii again. I have only been to Oahu (twice) and I absolutely loved it! I want to visit all the other Hawaiian Islands but its like when you go to your favorite restraunt and you order the same thing everytime you go because its just so darn delicious, and your friends order something different and dang that looks really good too and you promise you will get that next time you go but you dont cuz your just completely in love with your own favorite dish and you will maybe order that the next time or when you get sick of your dish or your feeling extra random or something. I do this all the time and I feel the same way about the Hawaiian Islands.
12. Try another sub at subway. K this is actually a great goal because remember my little rant on ordering the same thing at a restraunt. Well everytime I go to subway I order the. exact. same. thing. Chicken bacon ranch on italian herbs and cheese, toasted with mozzerella cheese, with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and cucumbers. ranch and salt and pepper complete the sub and two white chip macadamia nut cookies and a orange juice to wash it all down. GUYS it is DIVINE! I honestly dont know what I would do if they messed up on my sub like forgot the pickles, Oh my! Ran fresh out of chicken bacon ranch subs? the horror! I would most likely cry if these things occured. I can honesly say I have never tried, bought and paid for a different kind of sub. I dont see it happening in the near future cuz that sub is so dang delicious but it is a goal I have.
13. Back to travelling. Im going to list a couple more places I would like to visit. Jamiaca
14. Australia. A couple reasons why: because of the time change going to australia it would be like getting thrusted into the future and then on the way home you live the same day twice! imagine going on your birthday. Oh my word I get the jitters just thinking about it.Think about it! people could be like "so what did you do for your birthday? " and you can be all like "well the first day I mostly travelled hahaha...but the next day which was also my birthday I had cake and ice cream and all that fun stuff!" Jealous!
15. go on a cruise. I have been and I had such a blast. I dont have one in mind at the moment but any carribean cruise would be lovely
16. go on a roadtrip. I love roadtrips! I havent been on many but a really sweet one if I could plan it right now would be going somewhere really far away and having no plans. Just bring along a couple pals and a vehicle that can get you there and have a real good time.
17. Go somewhere like south africa or somewhere like that for a volunteer experience for a couple months. One that really grabbed my attention was working with endangered species. You can walk alongside of LION! or ELEPHANTS! maybe even HIPPOS! this is more like a dream then a goal if I'm working with a hippo because they are my favorite animals. I know you are all thinking im crazy, even 80 year old kaylee when she reads this will probably give her own head a shake and be like "goodness what on earth was I thinking???" but it would be a great experience and I know I would have fun.
18. Buy and own a nice house. With lots of bedrooms to fill up for when I have a family :) we all make up our dream houses and mostly they are huge mansions but I honestly don't want something I know I will get lost in. Maybe I will change my mind once I start having kids and I can just leave them in the left wing of my castle while I go to the library and read a book. But for now I would like to have a decent size home that will perfectly fit my family. My house has to have a bathroom coming off the master bedroom, with my own walk in closet. also a deck from the master bedroom would be fabulous as well.
19. Marry a man who makes me very happy. Someone I can be silly with, and have fun. But someone I can talk to and be serious with as well. He doesnt have to be rich but a hard worker that can support his family. He doesnt have to be extremely gorgeous with chizzled abs and bulging biceps but someone Im attracted to that I will think he is far better then any male actress/ model out there. Im pretty sure if his personality is great and he doesnt fart in front of me we will get along swell.
20. Have a cute little family. I know its too early to start planning these things but I want 4 kids, maybe five to keep up the family tradition. (my dad has five kids in his family, and my parents had five) anyway I planned that I will have 4 kids and I know you cant plan the sex of your babies but I do anyway. First I want a girl because they are more fun to doll up buying cute little baby girl clothes and pink blankets and OH MY! they are way more fun! then in a couple years like 2 at the most I want to have another girl becuase you see, me and kara are fourteen months apart and even though most times I wished that we were birthed farther apart, It was fun sharing clothes, and doing things together, and having the same friends. I would like that for my family too. Then like 3 or 4 years later I want to have a boy. And he would be the most handsome little man ever. super sweet but a little trouble maker hahaha. then like a billion years later when Im going through my midlife crises thinking I'm crusty and old I want to have another baby. I would like another girl just so I can dote over her like I did for the first time but a boy would be awesome too. Thats my plan haha
21. own a HAWT! truck. I do have a truck at the moment but I mean a truck right off the lot starting at 0km. I think that I would probably die and go to heaven (hopefully) right there. I love my truck but its only a 98 and right now I find it difficult to drive it anywhere cuz gas prices are so ridiculous. But my dream truck would be a new dodge ram. Seriously I could probably marry one of those Im so attracted to them. ah maybe one day ;)
22. travel places with my cute little family. I know once you get married and have children its harder to go anywhere farther then your own backyard but I want to do fun stuff with them too. Like take them to disney land, thats any kids dream. I want to vacation and travel with my family
23. learn how to cook as good as my mom. except that one time she burnt my cheesecake...sorry mom!
24. make cinnamon buns. I could probably do this I just never have. I love cinnamon buns though so I can see this happening

34. meet someone famous. Like seriously shake someones hand or have them autograph something would be sweet but it would have to be someone that I have interest in. not like someone from a tv show I never even watch or an extra from the harry potter movie.

Some Stirling Fun
I never thought I would admit to this but sometimes I miss Stirling. NOT that I want to move back there or I would vacation there or anything but sometimes a little visit like a sleepover or something is not all that bad. Last week I decided to stay over night with my family because I hadnt for awhile and I missed them a little bit and I had to come out anyway to plan a bit for Kara's wedding. I mostly like hanging out with my brothers. They are a hoot! One day last week my brothers and their friends, Ryan and Clinton who are also like my brothers to me, came to my house in lethbridge dressed in suits with aviater shades and told me they were my bodygaurds. I never thought I was in danger but how they acted I felt like I was Harry Potter being protected against Lord Voldemort. There was so many rules! I couldnt walk anywhere alone. I had to have one leading the way, one beside me and one behind me at all times. Everywhere I went I had to wait for them to open the door for me (we actually had a countdown so they could open all the doors of the car at the same time) haha I also wasnt allowed to call them by their real names, I was informed to call them Howard, Sid and Bubba haha. So I got in the car and they asked me where I wanted to go. I really didnt need to be anywhere so I requested dairy queen because I was craving a blizzard. I didnt think they were going to be serious being in dairy queen surrounded by people who would be staring at them wondering what they were up to, but none of them cracked a smile the whole time we were there. Normally I would buy them all something like an ice cream just for hanging out with me and because Im such a cool older sister but since I was utterly embarrassed I decided that the only option here was to play along. So I told mathew that I wanted a medium cookie dough blizzard. At first he wasnt going to buy me anything but I reminded him that my very rich daddy would not be impressed with how cheap he was and that he would be very angry for upsetting me and that he could be replaced with a snap of my fingers. I was expecting him to ignore what I had just said to escape buying me a blizzard but he turned to me and patted me on the head and orderd me to tell the nice lady what I wanted and he will take care of it. hahaha So I did. It was funny because while we were eating our food this cute lil old man came up to mathew and asked him what they were representing being dressed up like this and mathew replied without cracking a smile "we are just good looking men sir." It was hilarious! Then they took me to my tanning appointment, they just walked me to the front doors and then let me go and when I was done they had me text them before I came out of the building. The girl who worked there was all confused and asked them if she could help them and I told her they were beyond anyone's help and that they were just my brothers being weird. Well that was a mistake because I was not allowed to give out such personal information (trust me, not like I wanted to admit it anyways). So after that I decided that I had had enough of embarrassment for one day and wanted to go home. So they walked me to the door, went through my house looking for any evidence of anything suspicious, they even waited outside my bathroom door as I was in there and then FINALLYthey left. hahaha
This is how Howard, Sid and Bubba arrived at my house.
me and my bodyguards
me and mike after my house was searched and I was made sure safe
This was us alive and healthy before the trip (not sure this would be the outcome once we returned letting him drive :)
he advised me to wear my seat belt (you didnt have to tell me twice!)
I will admit it was scary at first
WATCH THE ROAD MICHAEL!!!!!!!!
I must have really wanted that chocolate bar from the store since I was risking my life for it.
SLOW DOWN MICHAEL!!!!!!!
Just kidding, it wasnt bad at all, I was just acting. Mike is actually a good driver and I would let him do it again if he promised me another treat. haha
we even had a staring contest in which I did win!
I had to put this pic on just cuz it made me laugh so hard cuz petey ran up to the camera trying to hog all the picture for himself but he failed. Also his face is the same in every picture and I think its hilarious.
This is how Howard, Sid and Bubba arrived at my house.

me and mike after my house was searched and I was made sure safe Anyway after that activity, I thought that my poor brothers just missed me and were looking for any excuse just to hang out with me even if that ment dressing up like my bodyguards. That was nothing more than a desperate cry for help so I decided to come out to Stirling for the night and spice up everyone's life out there.
I would have to say Michael E. Heidinger is the funniest boy alive. While I was out in Stirling, I hung out with this boy for most of the afternoon (well when I wasnt doing a photoshoot with my other bro's turtle, Petey) haha. Usually when Im in Stirling and I get bored (which is bound to happen) I get mike and matt to call up their friends ryan and clinton and we get together and hang out. Most older sisters dont really hang out with their younger brother`s friends but I can assure you its always a good time with those boys. They are so funny and I love them all! Anyway Mike and I were bored so we decided we should go over to his friend`s house. Mike wanted to drive but the boy only has his learners but because he said he would drive me to the store and buy me something if I let him drive, I let him. (freak! he knows how to win me over). So I let him drive and this was our documented trip.

Now,I know I also mentioned that I had a photoshoot with my other brother`s turtle. When I come out to Stirling, I like to make a point in seeing all my animals except for shawnie who is the ugliest cat ever, and maybe if they are lucky enough, I have a photoshoot with them. Well last week Petey the turtle was lucky enough. here is a couple pics of that.

I had to put this pic on just cuz it made me laugh so hard cuz petey ran up to the camera trying to hog all the picture for himself but he failed. Also his face is the same in every picture and I think its hilarious. So that concludes all the fun I had out in Stirling. hahaha So much fun I think I will wait alittle while before I go out so I can recooperate from last time. Holy! I feel like I have been sitting here for ten years! I should probably get on with my day so until next time PEACE!

Happy EAster!
I just sat here for a half hour trying to think of a title for this blog when I didn't even have an idea of what Im going to write about yet. There is so much going through my mind right now that I could blab about almost anything. Anyone who knows me would know I love to talk and can talk about almost anything and everything, so really its not hard for me to pick a topic and write a couple blogs on it. Probably could go on forever on some things and I would run out of screen before something to talk about :) Anyway lets start with Easter since it was only yesterday and is still fresh on my mind. I actually celebrated easter on thursday with a couple friends. One of my best pals Stephanie and I planned a special easter double date with our boyfriends. We decided to make an easter gingerbread house since neither of us have ever made one and we wanted to do something fun and inexpensive. I made a tiny scavenger hunt for our boyfriends to find the candy to decorate our houses with while stephanie and I stayed back at the house to make the gingerbread (uh oh). I was so proud of my little riddles/clues that I came up with, there was only 6 of them which bought us enough time to finish doing whatever at the house. It actually worked out perfectly and we both got finished around the same time. While the boys were on their little scavenger hunt, of course me and steph were having issues back at the house. We hid the candy in the back of my truck where the last clue clearly states, but before, my genius friend steph put it in the back of a stranger's truck thinking it was mine so she had to go back and put it in the right truck hahaha. That was really funny. Then we started to make this ginger bread. I dont know if it was supposed to taste good but I can tell you that whatever WE made was disgusting. After Stephanie was done mixing it, I asked for a beater to lick and I dont know why I was expecting it to be alot like cookie dough but it clearly wasnt. The best part was that in the directions it tells you to put the dough in the fridge overnight but since we didnt have that time because I was positive the scavenger hunt wouldnt take that long even if it were the boys looking for the clues,(haha) we decided to skip that step and go ahead baking it. We had to burn the dough just so it would be hard enough to build our house with it. Finally after giving a dozen free clues to help the guys reach the end of the hunt, we got the candy and began decorating immediately. We split into 2 groups, and together with our dates we had to compete for the best gingerbread house. Corey and I won hands down. You should have seen the pics! I would have posted them on my blog but stephanie is being a poop and she wont send them to me. But me and Corey did win, she probably wont send them cuz she is so embarrassed that she lost. If you saw her work of "art" you would probably cry at how horrible it was. it was an epic fail. After that, we chucked them in the garbage even though we were starving but not hungry enough to eat burnt nasty gingerbread. (Right now I would be a little less hesitant) kidding, thats gross... That was our date. For easter sunday we went out to stirling for dinner and just to hang out. It was actually quite fun, I bought these goggles/ sunglasses for kara's dog, they are called doggles and she looked HILARIOUS! I got a couple pictures. see: 
Isnt she just adorable? She loves me <3.
So my sister is getting married august 20th and I am quite excited for this because I get to be the maid of honor! I have never been a bridesmaid before but how bad can it be? I get a new dress out of it. Yesterday I got to plan a bit while I was in stirling and I always thought planning would be fun. I like writing out lists and thinking about the colors and the food but last night was less then joyful. I am working alongside with bridezilla. I warned her before not to become one and she promised she wouldnt and she lied to me because she just turned into one last night. We were planning flowers for most of the evening and the bride doesnt even have to worry about the flowers. Shoot me in the head! We did accomplish one thing however and that was the picking of the colors. By then, I didnt care if it was black and white. I think she finally decided on yellow, turquise and white and It actually looks quite lovely together. I am ready to take a trip somewhere really far away and just arrive back in time for the wedding. Ok ok ok. Im probably making it sound way more aggrevating then it really is. I love my sister to death but she is a very sensitive being and adds more stress to her life then what is needed and the stress is just going to get bigger and bigger and I just hope that there will be a wedding just after the effort we put into that one night of planning. This is making eloping sound alot more appealing. All in all The wedding will be interesting indeed. I just hope she doesnt come on here and read this or else I might not be the maid of honor anymore.... Really, I think that its great that she is getting married and I really do wish them the best. (hopefully if she does read this, I just redeemed myself). Anyway I need to go find something to eat. peace!

me rambling again
I always want to come on here and write something but I never have anything overly exciting to share. But I will give it a try since its been a little while since I have posted a blog. A couple days ago Corey, my boyfriend and I went to Missoula for the day. He had never been out of Canada and I had never been to Missoula so we decided to roadtrip it there for some shopping fun. Everything was great, we planned to leave at 4 in the morning just so we can arrive right as the mall opened. Since he was driving I was told through-out the week that I wasnt allowed to sleep and I had to stay awake so he could stay awake during the whole 6 hour drive. And if I were happen to doze off he would blast the stereo so loud that it would wake me up or he would pull over and sleep as well until I woke up to wake him up. I was positive that I would not sleep a wink as I was so excited for this little road trip. I was right, as soon as we got past the border (which was a story in its self...) he was having a hard time choosing a lane to drive in so I offered to drive so we could at least make it there in 1 peice. So we pulled over and I got in the driver seat and I maybe just got up to speed and I looked in the passenger seat to find that my bf was already snoring. How bad did I want to slam on my brakes to jolt him awake? uh not as bad as I wanted to throw him out of the car altogether haha oh well it was quite cute how he was sucking up to me after. It pays off to be a nice person sometimes. Sometimes! Here is word of advice: never let anyone who is not a trained professional dental assistant brush your teeth. Last night Corey asked if he could brush my teeth. weird I know but I thought that he was just being "nice" until he had the tooth brush in my mouth brushing my bucks as hard as he could. Of course I ended up with tooth past all over my face, and drooling down my shirt. Thats not even the worst part, he was brushing so hard that it hurt a bit, I dont know why he thought he had to scrub this hard, I brush my teeth every morning and night and I didnt eat anything that was all over my teeth. He scrubbed so good I dont think I need to pick up my tooth brush for the rest of the year! kidding Anyway back to the story. So he was brushing my teeth, and somehow the boy managed to flick a little tooth paste in his own eye! I dont think I have ever laughed so hard. I was thankful that happened, hoping he would be done but that didnt stop him DANG! he didnt end up stopping until he spotted some of my gums bleeding but then he felt really bad and he gave me a hug :) He can be super sweet sometimes too. I mostly appreciate his text I get everyday. Every morning without fail he texts me a good morning or telling me to have a good day and that he cant wait for work to be done so we can hang out again <3 Its the little things like this that make me think having bleeding gums really dont matter hahaha. 
This is us together. He would kill me if he saw this pic because he hates it, I dont know why I think he looks rather handsome like always.
I really cant wait for summer! I know there are alot of you out there that agree. I hate winter! I cant even stand the sound your shoes make when your walking in the snow so winter means alot of discomfort to me besides the awful coldness. Yesterday I could not wait for summer any longer so I did something that I said I would never do.... Ladies and Gentleman, boy and girls I, Kaylee Heidinger faked and baked! AAAAAHHHHHH I know, I just got done telling my roommate Dani that I would never do it because I want to be all natural and I tan pretty good anyway in the summer time and my best friend Jon Rom calls and asks me to go and I say yes without a second thought. I actually enjoyed it, Im not pale to begin with but a little help from a tanning bed cant hurt right? besides by the way the weather looks like outside right now we probably will never get a summer and I refuse to be white all year round. I feel like I never do what I say Im gonna do or never do what I say I will never do anyway. Perfect example: I decided that I was going to start running everyday at like 6 AM which moved to 7AM to 8 AM and now its 10:46 AM and the only run I have accomplished this morning was the run upstairs to the kitchen to eat a donut. Good job Kaylee good job. Oh boy I just remembered there are 3 more....hahaha I should really do something productive with my day though, besides I think I have rambled on good enough here. Im supposed to attract readers instead of making them die of boredom after reading any of my posts. So this is enough today. Good day to you all!

My FIRST Blog post...Tonight!
Most people know this but I would have to say I am the least observant person in the whole entire world. I walk into things on a daily basis (mostly because im texting (one time I actually walked into 2 parked cars in a matter of 3 min walking to school)). Another time I went to a mall in Denver and me and my then boyfriend were the only white people in the entire mall and while he was clinging to my arm for safety, I had not noticed anything out of the ordinary. Anyway, my point is that it just had occured to me that people still blog! After snooping around on other blogs, I decided that I should upgrade my life a little bit from writing in my journal to BLOGGING! what fun! I cant promise to post a blog everyday and I cant see too many people even reading it anyway but we will see how things go. Currently I am being a bum, just getting out of school for the semester and not working yet so you may get 7 blogs just tonight! haha I guess it would be appropriate to explain a little about myself. So for all of you who dont know a thing about me, Im a girl haha of course and Im 5 foot 2, brown hair blah blah blah k if you didnt even know that then its probably creepy that your creeping on my blog. For serious now. 5 things about me. I love...FOOD ! ok FACT I can pack down food better then most men on some days. I dont know if I should be proud of that but being the size that I am and not my favorite animal (hippo) I guess it is. I am in school studying to become a social worker one day and Im just waiting to hear if I have been accepted at the u of l social work program. CROSS YOUR FINGERS! One thing im passionate about is trucks. I own one and I absolutely love it! I named it king triton because it says triton on it and I feel like king of the road when I drive it. In the future sometime before I get my lisence taken away because Im too old I would love to own a dodge ram. But by the time I can afford one they will probably have something bigger and better. #4 Im having a hard time coming up with 5 things about me (sad i know) so I had to ask some of my friends who are in the same room as me and my best friend Jon Romeril insisted I should tell people that we are best friends/ 1st cousins/ birthday buddies. (not something I really wanna admit or post on the internet for the world to see...) Jokes he is pretty sweet and Im glad that we are as close as we are. Ok last one. Great now becky is sad because she didnt get mentioned in my first blog. Becky is one of my roommates and we are pretty tight also. we have some good times. ok now one more. oh my word I cant believe that I havent mentioned this! I have broken my neck C2 vertebrae and survived! I wish I could tell you the story but I will save that for another time. Right now i have to go because I probably should pay attention to my peers. They need me cuz im the life of everyone's party. so peace!
