A short sweet rant

Rant starts now.


I Miss the smell of plain brown #2 Pencils.
I Miss how life was so easy as a child.
I miss being carefree...
Now with all these bills... These responsibilities... I just want to scream sometimes, or just run away.

I Miss how I felt when I first started my job. SO HAPPY. Like I had a second family.
Now I come to work and wonder if I'm the one being whispered about...
I don't want to feel like the bad guy anymore.

So here is my resolution...

I AM the good guy. I will be the one that is nice, and courteous always and will continue to be.
I need to change my attitude... I am becoming those people that drive me insane, the ones that are bitter and impatient.

Friends are hard to find, but when you find them... check again to make sure if they are really your friends... when you know they really are, then hold them close.

I have a few good friends. Im grateful. VERY grateful for them, and will never take them for granted.

And who said anything about this keeping your enemies closer?? Heck-no Techno. Enemies... get the hell away from me.


Also, there is one more thing I want to rant about...
I'm super sick of waking up and feeling like an old lady. ACHING everywhere. I want things to go back to before November. I'm trying so hard to not let it get to me everyday but I will admit, It kinda is. I just HURT. I feel like if I ignore it, and pretend the pain isn't bothering me, that maybe I will just forget it, or it will just go away... Not the case.
I hope they find a cure for arthritis. I hate the thought that anyone has to feel this way.

Rant over.

Fun Stuff Man!

So I have some pretty exciting stuff happening in the "Life of Kristie" Like...

MY NEW PURPLE COUCHES. Yes that's right folks, I said it... I got PURPLE COUCHES. And I'm ridiculously excited. I think it really makes my living room complete. I have a Moroccan color scheme going with golds, reds, oranges and purples. I EL OH VEE EE IT!!

(And yeah those are palm trees- Don't ask.)

Next on my list of Excitingness...

My Sister's Rock & Roll Themed baby shower

The Invitations I made :)

My Newest Cake Creation May I present... The Rock & Roll Cake

Lindsay & Karen = KISS

Cathryn, Erin & Zach

1/2 of the gang that showed up

We decorated all these onsies with different rocker decor. My crappy camera phone doesn't do them the justice they deserve.

I turned my Mom's artwork into theatre style posters...

"Live From Parker's Crib..." Get it ?? hehehe

The bay window :)



That was my update :) Tonight my boyfriend, I and some close friends are going to dinner at a fancy schmancy restaurant called Cosmopolitan
I'm pretty excited. And I'm ordering salmon, and a fruity alcoholic drink...

Its the little things :)

All it takes is 10 Dollars.

How could any of us living in the states forget how utterly lucky we are... I mean we have our share of problems... this so called economic slum were in was thought to be so serious... But most of us are making it I think. We have resources... Im not belittling anyones problems here at all, but could you even fathom the thought of what these poor people are going through in Haiti? Just a few years ago they had another natural disaster. Its heartwrenching.

Anyway, If you dont have much to give, I understand... but every dollar helps. Think about it. If everyone gave a little, it could go a long way.

TEXT "Haiti" to 90999 and $10 will be added to your cellphone bill. All profits go to Red Cross. Act like it was a couple ringtones :) Pass the word. This isnt a hoax, I verified it. How cool is our technology now, that we can just text to help people.

You can also look at other ways to help at
www.redcross.org

PLEASE pass the word.

Im still here.

I know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth, but I'm still here :)

I stalk all of your blogs (the 2 followers that i have - tee hee)

And a couple strangers who have no idea that I exist. Anyway,

A quick update on whats been going on.

I had a nasty accident. Cant give details, but my back hurts. Ouch. And I have a new car.

Its my cute little toaster, yes yes... a red Scion XB. I just ordered custom plates that say "1BXYLDY" Yeah that's right, Boxxxxyyyyy Ladyyyyy! It was the only fun I got out of this whole situation... But I digress.

In better news my little sister is getting more and more pregnant.

I got to feel the baby kick for the first time, and I about lost it. I cried hysterically over my sister's pregnant belly saying the baby's name "Parker... Its Auntie!!"
Christmas was wonderful. I dressed like an elf at work, and spread some holiday cheer.

And here is a photo of the boyfriend wearing my Burberry Sunglasses and his silly hat I bought him that he loves. We were on our way to the parents house for Christmas.

We had an amazing time with my family. The dinner was amazing and roasting marshmallows by the fire with my nephew was the best. I got a TomTom (Navigation system) Which is uber exciting if you know me. And some cool converse and coffee cups. I'm such a lucky girl. Thanks for the oatmeal and Olive oil Mom. I super wanted some olive oil. That stuff is so dang expensive!!

Well that is my update. NYE should be pretty rockin, Were having a red carpet themed party at my friends Semi- Mansion. The dress I bought is pretty amazing, Oh yes folks. PINK SEQUINS. I'm super excited.

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, and I wish you a fantastic new year!

What was your favorite gift you got for Christmas?? Id love to know!

Wedding Season - 2 Weddings, One weekend :)

Mr. Perry & I

Mr. Berry & I

Sheldon's Frat Brothers

The DJ @ Katie & Clint's Wedding

Sheldon & I @ K & C's Wedding in Lodi CA

Jehri & Ali

Shel's Co Workers

Cody & I

My honey & I

Katie & Clint's wedding was Saturday in Lodi at a beautiful winery called "Wine & Roses". Lodi isn't the most beautiful town in Northern California, but they did have the decency to cover up the hills of cow poop with tarps and tires. Thanks a billion Lodi!

Despite my hair smelling like cow manure when we got there, the wedding was gorgeous... A string quartet playing out on the lawn while the guests were waiting for the ceremony to start, lush landscaping and an amazing cocktail hour.

Katie & Clint are a beautiful couple, they giggled all the way thru their vows, the joy in their faces was hard to ignore. I hope one day I can feel that way... Congratulations to a beautiful couple.

Jayme & Eric's Wedding was Sunday at the Vizcaya in downtown Sacramento. The Vizcaya is an old 8 bedroom mansion, with a really unique feel.

I had never met Jayme or Eric, but Eric was one of Sheldon's frat brothers from Sac state.

The wedding was so much fun, and I met a bunch of really amazing people.

I love my boyfriend, he is amazing... I'm happy to have spent that time with him, and met his coworkers and his closest of friends. Weddings are so much fun. Getting dressed up, and going to witness the vows between two people who are so much in love.

(You get to slow dance too )

YAY - Wedding Season.

Their sign was classic.

So here ya go... A little picture randomness.

Enjoy your weekend!

Material Girl.

Sometimes I wonder if I am a Material girl?

I was talking with a friend yesterday about how far we have both come, and how hard it has been. Both of us moved out young, and have tried to survive this world on our own, and now he has to seek shelter back with his family. A total bust to his 20-something male ego. Thank goodness for my family and the help they have provided me. Id be lost... completely lost.

I wonder if I will ever be at that place where I don't count every dime, every nickle. Hope that my account isn't red when I go and check it.

Will ends ever meet? Well I ever meet those ends? Ha, probably not... and I am okay with that.

(The whole material girl thing was totally sparked by another blog topic starting now...)

So this weekend, my friends Ali & Raheem had a party at their home for Ali's birthday.

The Theme: MUSIC ICONS

This was easy, Sheldon as Ray Charles, And I... As Madonna... Duh!

Not... Like a virgin ;)

The night was a blast, minus me falling down roughly 9 marble stairs. Ouch. My leg, tuckus, back and foot are bruised... memories.

Also the funniest thing happened... I won best costume! Yes... I did!!! And guess what I won

Kristina - A SNUGGIE.

How I have yearned for a snuggie since I started reading Kristina's amazingness.

Now I get to be just like her, with my red snuggieloveagus.
