Wowzers! It's been a very long while since I blogged. Well, today I guess the bug bit me. I'm feeling emotional. Blame the weather. Blame my lame vaca. Blame being cooped inside with two lazy dogs & a fire about to die. Blame my hang over.
I had a post in mind which led me here. Of course between the walk from the livingroom to the desktop, it changed. I'm fickle like that. Have you met me?Kimberleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13537657147391318043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887769689684556980.post-46872893438954643672011-10-20T12:53:00.000-05:002011-10-20T12:53:07.972-05:00I. Am. An. Asshole.I'm in a funk. A job funk. I've been doing this job since 2008 which means I've been driving the same 38 mile/45-60 minute (each way) commute for nearly 4 years? Yup. It feels like longer. I hate commuting. After two years in I even wrote a post about it - Life in the Carpool Lane. Of course that's back when I carpooled. I have opinions on that too. That's another post. Mostly though, commuting Kimberleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13537657147391318043noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887769689684556980.post-74516255842227675512011-10-17T15:02:00.000-05:002011-10-17T15:02:48.114-05:00Happily Married...It only took me a lil over a week but HEY! We got hitched, tied the knot, committed (not to a mental hospital... yet), legally bound, etc etc.
Simplest ceremony we could get away with, minimal guests, and it was perfect.

"What is the one thing you would bring if you were stranded on a deserted island?"
I always question this question. Nobody plans on being stranded on an island and if you were to "plan" to be stranded by deciding on what you would take if you were, wouldn't you "plan" to not be stranded by bringing a boat?
I guess there's always a % (I don't know statistics, that's math.

MONTH.I promised myself that I would blog today.
That promise turned into a threat.
Things got ugly.
Now here I sit blogging but not wanting to. I use to be able to blog all the time & about absolutely nothing. For some reason I feel censored & can't do that anymore. That sucks. Hopefully it's just a phase and I can get back to being the mouthy outspoken bitch that I am meant to be. Hey!

It only took me this long to blog about it because I've been stressed up to my eyeballs with other stuff.
I absolutely love the house, I do. I think every one of us does. We're no longer stepping all over each other which is awesome. I really do wish I could have taken a picture of my old master bedroom & put it side by side Kimberleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13537657147391318043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887769689684556980.post-76378145650727296792011-08-23T10:57:00.003-05:002011-08-23T11:18:29.190-05:00Goodbye Summer of 2011I want, no scratch that, I *need* this Summer to end. I've had so many ups and downs so far in 2011 that I can honestly say I'm over it. When the downs come more often than the ups and last entirely too long, it's definitely time to move on or make some significant changes around here. As of this moment, I'm working both of those options to the fullest.

No, I'm not a communist. I just don't particularly care for fireworks. I know I'm going to sound like a grouch here but if I gave a shit, I wouldn't be blogging. *smiley face*
There hasn't been any new big developments in fireworks for how many years? They're always the same. Loud, bright, and sometimes scary. Depends on who is lighting the explosives honestly.

I haven't been blogging about it as much as I had hoped to but... meh.
For a recap: I've done the 1 mile walk, 3 hours of disc golf, 2 days of dodgeball, a 100m run and the latest event was 3 on 3 basketball on Saturday.
Now you can spank me, bite me, pull my hair but whatever you do... Do not cause me internal pain!

If you haven't, well whatever.
So "Jeannie" got ahold of us yesterday and offered us the house after all. Of course she had to mention that the owner ripped her a new one because I called him directly. Awww really? Too freaking bad.
The woman obviously harbors some hostility against us. I can't blame her but honestly, mayhaps you Kimberleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13537657147391318043noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887769689684556980.post-56109567263349119502011-06-10T21:23:00.004-05:002011-06-10T21:45:59.328-05:00Stupid Bitch is Stupid

I can't promise anything but I hope this is the last bloggity blog I write that has me bitching, venting & complaining about house hunting. I hope. I hope. I hope.
We're not looking to buy just yet. We need to rent for at least another year. Bunky has one more year left of high school and then she'll be enlisting in the Army.

I want an interesting life.
I want adventure.
I want to be a wife, a lover, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt...
I want to be someone that others are proud of, but most of all.... I want to be proud of me.
I want a house in the country (white picket fence optional).

It's not the heat, it's the stupidity and the chaos of it all. It's the need to wear less clothing when really, I'd rather hide in heavy, baggy, fully covering clothes. It's the allergies. It's the kids being bored into fighting with each other.

It's been awhile, I know. Life has a way of getting all crazy like and it's happening more often than not lately. So let's see... Where to start?
I never did blog about disc golf like I wanted to but we won the KCCC game. Yay us. Sadly even though Dawn & I won our match, we still didn't win it all for our company.

I've been busy and you know I'm doing it all for you. No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. I love you, my one reader. You are the air that I breath. For realsies.
I was having *a* day on Friday. First off my phone took a crap on me which hurt because I thought what we had was special.

Someday I might actually perfect it. I've tried different versions of "me" and can't come up with one I truly love. It's a process.
So tomorrow kicks off the annual Kansas City Corporate Challenge or KCCC for short. That doodle? Yea, that basically sums up how I feel about KCCC.
