Home

210/365


This is my church. My home church. I grew in my faith the most here. This is where some of my best friends are. This is where I feel close to God.

I saw some of my "other family" today. They mean the world to me. Nancy (Mom), Evan (brother) and Maddie (sister). Dylan, the other brother, would have been there but he was off at Cross Country Camp.

Shopping

209/365

Today is National Dance Day! I would post a picture of the Zumba Wii box but I am too tired to get up off my rear end to go take the picture so I will use pictures that I took yesterday of some of my spoils from shopping.

I got a couple work out tops and a new black cardigan but I also found a couple cute dresses.

This blue one is so versatile. Summer or winter. I will be wearing it to church tomorrow. I love the detailing around the neck!





And this is a classy little number. More professional than going out but for the right occasion I would go somewhere in this.


Whenever my mom and I are together we end up shopping. It's a disease weakness.

Pooh Bear

208/365

Yesterday I saw the new Winnie the Pooh movie with my mom. I grew up on Pooh Bear. Mom painted The Hundred Acre Wood in my bedroom and I had a million Pooh Bear stuffed animals. Mom loves Tigger. I think my favorites are Kanga and Roo.

We both thought the movie was great and funny.

These are all of the man characters of the story. These stuffed animals can be found in our guest bedroom, which is Pooh Bear Themed.

Pretty Painted Nails

207/365



I never paint my finger nails. NEVER. I always ding them up and then I get so frustrated with trying to touch them up that I just take the paint off of them anyway. But I painted my nails today none-the-less.

And I added a pretty sparkly nail. It matches my toe nails.

Which are ALWAYS painted.

My Brother and Sister

206/365

My brother and sister are super affectionate and snuggly. Even though it's about a million degrees here in California. I exaggerate.

We have had these two for about a year and we love them so much. I don't think we consider them replacements. We lost three cats in the course of a year and we got them right before the last one had to be put down. They are such a blessing. We did give them some silly names though....

This is "the cutest boy in the world" Spork Mistoffeles Chickenpants. He uses his GIANT paws like hands and will give you hugs. He is so precious.





And this is Princess Consuela Bananahammock. She is so sweet and she's a little goofy. She was named after an episode of our favorite television show "Friends"




I am so happy to be home because I get to spend time with my furry siblings.

Home Again Home Again

205/365

I had the long drive all the way back to California today. It was ridiculous but easier than I thought.


I was at/around 70mph the entire way home. It was pretty smooth sailing.


Beautiful scenery. The one thing I like about this drive is it's a beautiful drive. It's always changing.


See where the road changes? That's the line from Oregon to California. The blue sign in the distance is welcoming you to California!



This is Woodland. It's the big town I pass through right before I get to my hometown. I always get super excited when I drive through here.



There are rice paddy's EVERYWHERE around my town. We have the perfect environment for it apparently. They are super pretty when they're all green like this.


If anyone asks, I did NOT take these pictures while I was driving.....

Lost

I am rewatching Lost from the beginning. It's fun to look back on everything that's happening and know how it all ends.

Sunday: Cleaning the Car

203/365

This is Jessica. She is my car. My baby. I love her and she loves me back. I had to clean her out today so it wouldn't be all dirty for the detailing and servicing she's gonna get tomorrow. It's gonna be all prepared for the loooong drive to California!

Saturday: West-E

202/365

This is the "ticket" and directions to the high school where myself and my fellow Music Ed students are taking the West-E. Basically a test saying "Yes I am smart enough and I have been learning the things I need to so I can become a teacher." It's a little nerve wracking but I am ready to get my future going. It's scary but I am super excited.

Friday: My Favorite Series

201-365

This is one of many books in a series that I have loved for many years. The author is dead now, which is very sad, but he left many books that will be loved by generations. I know that I will let my children read them and hopefully they will love them as much as I do.



Each time I read through them I think "This one is my favorite" and then I read the next one and realize that I love this one just as much. They are all wonderfully written and are just unique books.

Read: The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques .

Pictureless Weekend.

Sooo you're in for another pictureless weekend dear readers! I'm at my grandparents once again and will not have my laptop until Monday. And even then I may not be able to have internet on my laptop until I get to Cali, so I won't be able to post pictures. Maybe I'll post what the picture is about and you have to guess!

I don't know yet. ANYWAY!

Have a great weekend!

Light and Dark

200/365

Everyone has light and dark inside of them. Most people have more light than dark and the dark comes out at any given moment. But then it gets tucked away again, not to appear for some time.

This is a rose that I clipped from the bouquet my parents gave me after Sweeney. It was the most beautiful in the bunch. It bloomed fully and looked gorgeous. So when the bouquet started to die I clipped it. It dried very nicely and is now sitting in a little bowl on my desk.

When I took the picture of the rose I took two different ones. One with the flash, one without.

And I saw that even something as beautiful as a rose has light and dark.




It all depends on how you look at it.

Things are happening, have happened, in my life that bring my dark out.

I'm trying to deal with it. Sometimes I do it gracefully. Other times not so much.

Tonight was one of those times.

You could say I ran away. You could say I did the right thing and gave myself time to get my head together. No matter what you say, I did what I did. And I did what I thought was best for me. In a couple different things.

Someone in my life is mad at me because he says I ran away. And honestly, I could care less what he thinks. I just know that I have to deal with it later on.

By that time I hope I won't be so tired and cranky. And if that's the case, I will be able to deal with it using a little more light.

Dear Proof of Insurance Papers.

199/365

Dear Proof of Insurance Papers,



I am so sorry that I left you in my room instead of putting you in my car like I was supposed to. You must have felt so lonely and sad sitting on my bookshelf. And then you must feel horrible because you weren't there for me when I needed you yesterday. But I feel horrible. I should have put you in my car the first thing when I got you. And I didn't. So now I'm being punished for it. And I deserve it.

But I have learned my lesson. I have paid for you in more ways than one. And you are now tucked safely in my car. Ready to be there for me when I need you.

Love, Kelsey

Reality.

198/365

Life's funny sometimes. You can be the happiest gel in the world, well maybe not the happiest, but you can be content with where you are.

And then you make a stupid mistake. And then you owe the State of Washington almost $700 because of that stupid mistake.



And then you feel like shit.

Happy Birthday Megan!

Monday July 18, 2011

197/365

It was Megan's Birthday! The Big 21!

We started out at Ray's Boat House in Ballard. She had her first couple drinks there, we ate some food, and then we took pictures out on the balcony with the GORGEOUS sunset. Then we had dessert. I had Almond Ganache Cake with Rhubarb Compote. It. Was. So. Good.






Then we went out to Tini Biggs. It's a martini bar in Seattle. It was super classy and we had tons of fun. I was the DD so I had one drink at the beginning of our time there and then I chugged water. Linnea was pretty responsible but Megan and Rachel got super silly. It was a great night.

Grandma Jennie's Chocolate Chip Cookies

On Saturday I had a study party for the West-E that me and my fellow music ed majors have to take on the NEXT Saturday. It was a potluck and I decided to make and bring my Great Grandma Jennie's Chocolate Chip Cookies.

They are magic. They make you feel better.

This is a picture that hangs in my grandma's bedroom. It's of me, Drew and Chandler several years ago. She used to have us take pictures like this all the time. We don't do it anymore. But I've always loved this picture. It makes me smile every time I see it.



Chandler is the tiny one and Drew is on my back.

So.....

I won't be posting pictures until Tuesday. Because I'm awesome like that.

But tonight I spent maybe an hour and a half just singing. I was with Megan and Rachel and we went into MBR and then into Lagerquist. The lights were all out but we didn't care. We just went onto the stage and we just sang our hearts out. It was a moving experience and we were all just happy then. We weren't thinking about problems. We were just making music. It was so incredible. I'm sad I didn't have my camera on me. I could have gotten some good pictures I think. :)

Also...

:) Happiness for me right now.

Mischief Managed.

194/365

It's the end.

It's over.

Other than a website, there is nothing more to look forward to.

I have spent most of my life loving Harry Potter. I was so disappointed when the first book came out because I was probably 12 or 13. And I hadn't gotten a letter from Hogwarts.

I read the books. I cried in many of the books. I sobbed at the end of Order of the Phoenix. I swore up and down that Dumbledore wasn't dead at the end of Half-Blood Prince. I cried when Hedwig died. I cried when Dobby died. I cried when the Weasley family was huddled around Fred's body. I cried when Rowling killed Lupin and Tonks. I cried when Lily, James, Sirius and Lupin walked with Harry to the end. I cried after I finished the book. Just because it was over.

My generation grew up with Harry. We all wanted to know how it would all end. Many thought that Harry would indeed die. And he did. But he did it on his own terms. And in the end, it saved him.

Tonight I dressed up as Madam Rosmerta, the barkeep of The Three Broomsticks. My wand found me. I went to the midnight premier. I cried at all of the same parts I cried at. I cheered when Ron and Hermione finally kissed. I cheered when Molly called Bellatrix a bitch and killed her. I cheered when Neville took up the sword of Gryffindor and chopped Nagini's head off. I geeked out when I saw James Sirius and Albus Severus get on the Hogwarts Express. I thought that Hermione and Ron's family was perfect, down to Ron's potbelly. I stood up when the credits rolled and said "Mischief Managed!"

I celebrated the end of an era tonight. And it was worth every penny. Worth every tear.

Now I can't help but think of my children. Whenever I have them. I hope that they love Harry as much as I do. Because I will always love Harry. And on their eleventh birthdays, my children will get a letter telling them of a magical world. On their eleventh birthdays, my children will receive a book entitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. And from every birthday there on out, they will receive the next book. Until they turn seventeen and become of Wizarding Age. Then and only then, will they know how it all ends.

Just like I now know how it all ends.

Except it really isn't over.

Not really.

Not as long as there are those who believe.


Madam Rosmerta

Wand

193/365

Harry Potter is tomorrow night. And I am dressing up and going with my roommates. And I'm so excited. It's gonna be great.

The last time I went to HP and dressed up I used a chopstick as my wand. And that's what I was going to do tomorrow. But after work I was walking up to my house and I glanced down and saw the perfect stick.



My wand picked me! It's a thirteen and a half inch cherry wood wand with a core of phoenix feather.

Today

192/365

Today was a glasses kind of day.



I don't often wear my glasses because the prescription isn't as up to date as my contacts are so my eyes are usually pretty tired by the end of the day. I like my glasses though. They are unique.

And I did something today that may have been a little bit stupid. We'll see.

Headshots

Pictures and More Pictures

188 & 189/365

So this has been a photo filled weekend so far. I spent a lot of time yesterday playing with this new photo editor I found. It gives your photos a fun reto/old timey look. It's fun.






And this is me getting ready to head over to Kylie's so she could do my headshots. I just got done having her take the photos and I picked my favorites and now she's editing and will send them too me soon. I'm super excited. They look great. I'll probably post a few for a blog.

Potty Pictures and Thoughts

187/365

Here are a couple new pictures of the bathroom progress.

Instead of a door we have this really clever [read: stupid] way to keep people from watching you pee and take a shower.



And we have a "red carpet" leading to the toilet. *headdesk*



I have to admit I had a bit of a bad day today...It started when I got to my grandparents after work. I took a really nice long shower and crawled into bed. The sun was just starting to rise and I figured that I would be able to fall asleep before it got too high and flooded my room with light. I fell asleep but then was woken up by a crashing sound coming from the kitchen. Now, my grandparents house is really teeny so the kitchen is like seven steps away from the door of my room, and I'm a really light sleeper anyway so of course it woke me up. I looked at the clock and saw that it was close to six. I hadn't even been asleep for an hour. My grandparents keep themselves busy so they were up preparing for their day full of golf things and they were getting breakfast ready and unloading the dishwasher, all the while crashing plates together, slamming cupboards and drawers and generally being pretty noisy. They're both going deaf so I'm pretty sure that they had no idea how noisy they were being but I was pretty frustrated.

So after they left I fell back asleep, only to have my alarm go off at 1:00. Time for me to get up and head back home. So I got home and was checking my email and what not and I had received an email from my landlady. I have been in contact with the guy in charge of construction throughout this entire process just so I can stay in the loop and know what's going on. I sent such an email to the guy yesterday and he responded readily. It also went to my landlady, who emailed me to say that one of the tenants in the house below us (we live in a duplex) had reported feeling "displaced" and she asked me to make sure that Jeri was being kept in the loop. That frustrated me to no end. I'm not responsible for her actions. If she wants to be in the loop, she can put herself in the loop. It's not up to me. So that kinda pushed me over the edge. I was tired and now being blamed for something that I shouldn't have been.

So I've been kinda in a funk all day. I'm hoping that I'll sleep really well tonight [read: I will be popping a sleeping pill when I get off work] and my day will be better tomorrow.

Sucker Punch

186/365

I watched Sucker Punch for the fourth time since I bought it today. I see something new every time. The music is great and the story is good. It's fun to watch. I totally recommend it.



In other news I am horribly dehydrated. Helloooo Summer.
