procrastination continues

2 blogs in 1 month, look at me go! I must be really productive these days or rather you caught me in another episode of procrastinating against homework. Unfortunately the latter is more true...In my defense, I had been working for most of the day on homework, at least 4 hours without moving from my spot and I thought if I had to read another chapter of that book I would go insane. I decided taking a much needed break by blogging was a better alternative than vegging on the couch eating everything in my cupboard. I  also needed something to do while I wait for this episode of One Tree Hill to load.
Ok so I have been trying to eat healthier these days and I heard that if you calorie count then you are more likely to lose a couple more pounds or have better results than people who dont. I promised I would never become one of these people but now that more then half my 20 pairs of jeans hardly fit without me doing some awkward poses to get everything in all the right places while putting them on, and even sometimes tripping over miscellaneous items spread around my bedroom floor, almost resulting in near death experiences, I thought this was a drastic measure for help. Because I have the new iphone 4s (no boasting here) I downloaded a calorie counter app and found out the amount of calories I need to consume in a day to reach my goal weight. After I cried a bit and said goodbye to my fast food coupons, and junk food in the cupboard, I entered my meals I had eaten on Monday to start off in my meal plan diary. For Monday alone I had gone over my calorie goal by 1112 calories and if that wasnt bad enough a little message box popped up telling me that if I continued to eat like this everyday I would weigh 146.3 lbs by May 1st. FML...
 It was obvious I needed to go grocery shopping to fit my new dietary needs and more importantly back into all my cute clothes. My first problem was presented when driving down mayor magrath. I hadnt eaten since 8 that morning which wasnt enough to satisfy me for a couple of hours let half of the day and it was now 3pm and my levels of hunger were reaching an unsafe level of low to be driving, or even to be out in public for that matter. Since I am a sucker for any fast food place out there, I thought that if I could just get to walmart before breaking down and gorging myself at mcdonalds persay, than I had passed this "test" and there was more hope in me accomplishing this whole goal. As I said this was not an easy challenge, oh brother, easy challenge? Da heck??? Anyway, I somehow passed this test and I made it to walmart successfully without any unnessary stops at any fast food places. Important lesson to learn from going grocery shopping is to never go on an empty stomach. Some of the main reasons why that is, is because you fill your cart with so many random items that you neither need or can afford and you waste precious life putting everything back. Another reason is that you mostly fill your cart with complete junk that will bring you to 146.3 pounds alot quicker than may 1st. You also forget to calorie count but this may be because hunger made you forget how to count altogether. To make sure I was dead serious about this dieting and such I challenged myself to walk down all the junk food isles without putting anything in my cart. I am proud to announce that I was able to do this and because I did it and didnt have to run or walk with my eyes closed I awarded myself one big bag of old dutch BBQ chips. YAY me!!! Since then, I have been recording everything that I eat and have been resisting any fast food. Day 2 has begun an hour ago...FML.


I have got to do some fun and exciting things lately. 2 weeks ago I got the honor and pleasure of  house sitting at my sister's home while watching her 2 animals for the weekend, while she went away to vegas to my bestfriend's wedding...FML. Although I would have rather of gone to vegas and attended the wedding in person, I still made the best of the situation while at the Wynder residence in southern alberta. Canada. I guess I cant complain too loud as I had the whole house to myself and I could watch any movie, play xbox kinect, sleep in complete peace and wear all her clothes. I even bonded with the animals by playing hiding go seek!
 This is where I found Marci. Clever Girl.Poor little guy, fell asleep while I was looking for him.Hiding behind the ball might have worked for marci but not so much for abby.
I even got to ref a couple fights.
Actually, my only complaint was that for the entire weekend her house was only 14 degrees and I had to bundle up in her clothes to remain alive. My brothers even stopped by after we were done work to bring me mcdonalds and for the last night I had a couple of good friends stay over with me to watch movies and keep me company. I cant wait till I have my own place...

Last friday I had the chance to go to this YSA dance. Usually I hate going to these dances but it was a NEON dance and I love dressing up in ridiculous costumes, especially in bright colors and lately I was looking for any chance to do that and luckily this dance was giving me permission to do so. My misconceptions of this dance resulted in utter embarrassment as I showed up to the dance like this and everyone else was wearing normal clothes that show up glowing in the blacklight. good job kaylee good job... At least it was dark and my suit was comfortable, too bad it looked like I ate the whole dessert table too. GAHHHH. Even though most times I make fun of YSA dances and play them off to be something nerdy or lame, I did have fun at this one and it gave me a break I needed from my homework.
Three besties :)

Even though I looked ridiculous, I was still able to score a dance with a guy who had a hot australian accent. Any chances of us going on a date in the future was probably diminished when he saw me pigging out at the dessert table. Not because I cant make eating food look attractive but he probably felt ashamed of himself that I could probably out eat him. Or, there just wasnt any food left for him after I was done. I really cant talk about food anymore without me being tempted to go raid the fridge and cupboards, so we will have to talk about something else. Its actually almost time for bed only because I dont know what else to talk about not because its 1:31am and I can hardly keep my eyes open as it is. Plus, I am going to need all the rest I can get because I have a lot of work to do tomorrow. So I guess this is goodnight

happy things

You know when you haven't written a blog recently when you cant even remember your password to get on your own account...after a couple failed attempts I was able to guess the right password and get into my account (obviously). Remembering passwords seem to be a difficult thing for me, along with answers to those lame security questions some sites ask you. Infact I cannot do my online banking at the moment because I have failed to remember the answer to the security questions (again). One cannot fathom the amount of frustration I go through when I finally guess the right password and I have to figure out my favorite subject in highschool, or what I named my first animal or some other stupid question. Right now I am locked out because I cant remember..frig I cant even remember the question now. Im a lost cause. Moving on to the point of my blog before I forget that too. The main purpose of this blog is I wanted to share a couple of things that make me happy.
1. Great friends. For my birthday I went to Calgary with my Brothers and Porsha it was really fun for the most part besides missing the turn an ending up in pincher creek and getting a flat tire...All and all we had a pretty good time.
2. I have been visiting my cousin Alana and her family and I would have to say they are all a ton of FUN! The children are hilarious and I love playing with them. One of my favorite games with these children is the animal guessing game where one person will take a turn and think of an animal and the rest of us has to guess it. Everytime its Asher's turn he puts a twist on the game to make it even more challenging by coming up with made up animals. One time I had to guess his favorite alligator haha it was a nitro alligator. I dont know why i didnt think of that, since his favorite monkey was a nitro monkey. I'll be smarter next time.
Here are the goofs. I told them to make a silly face haha
How can you not go racing out to magrath every week after seeing such a cute kid like that?

















More silly faces. like mother like daughter....haha

3. Finding out I have more money in the bank then I thought I did. I'll tell ya, Living as a student paying for school out of my own pocket sure makes a dent in my bank account, or my wallet, or my pocket. all of thee above! More often then not I barely have enough money to put my two cents in during conversations. My financial problems almost put me in the same rank pool as the children in third world countries. Let me explain my situation. I owe $1009 to the university for this semester of school. Since I havent paid this yet becuase I dont have that money laying around I cannot register for classes in the spring and summer semester. I am two phone bills behind, have a maxed out credit card and because my truck insurance didnt go through on February I had to pay twice in March! On top of all that, I have a speeding ticket for $187. Anyway since I was scared that telus was going to shut my phone off for not paying my bills I thought I would go to the bank and try to work out some payment plan or something. This phone bill was really expensive because I just got the new iphone 4s a couple months ago and I had to pay for it on this bill along with paying out the rest of my 3 year contract and then my actual phone bill. All this totalled to about $300. Thinking I would only have like over 300 in my bank, I needed some sort of plan before resulting to starting a lemonade stand. I was wrong, because I have been saving my money like the smart, responsible, young adult that I am and somehow saved up almost 900 BONES! meaning I was able to pay off one of my phone bills, the two truck insurances, and my credit card. Even though I now have no money and I didnt get to go on a shopping spree to celebrate this, I was still pretty happy for the rest of the day
4. About a week ago, I got a puppy! He is about the cutest thing in the world when he isnt peeing in the house, barking, chewing on EVERYTHING, or biting. He is a Husky terrier cross and I just love him to death. His name is Sullivan or Sully or "the Little Jerk".
On the way home
The cutest dog ever!
Chewing on his favorite stuffed monkey and my shoes laying around which are his second favorite thing to play with
No wonder I dont have any money. a thief caught in the act!
One of my poor socks
But how can you be mad when he pulls out those adorable eyes?
His favorite place to sit. Nice to know im concentrating on the road, driving without hands

I may complain alot but for the most part he is pretty chill. He sleeps during the whole night and wakes me up when he needs to go out to the bathroom about 7 and then he goes back to sleep till around 10 or 11. I dont know what else to say about him.
Holy cow ! I should get going to bed. I promise my next blog will be better. goodnight
