Nine

Nine more days till my hot date.

9.

Good things come in 9. Sometimes.

Except for the fact that 9 is one short of 10...and really, better things come in 10. Who wants to read a Top-9 list? The song Ten Little Piggies...who wants to have only 9 toes? You must have 10 toes for the song to work. I don't remember being 9....but I'm sure it was good. I remember getting a walkman on my 10th birthday though. A walkman! I was finally cool. That was also the year that the Discman became cooler. Case in point of my life: I'm a late cool bloomer. I'm always slow at becoming COOL.

But you know what....that's okay.

I got my first cell phone at 20. Most kids had theirs at 17. So what?

I also tried contacts at age 21....evil things.

I finally got rid of my retainers at age 22. Evil things x 100.

22 years later I finally have a prospect of a hot date.

Wait....did I just admit that on public internet access?

Oh well....I'm cool now...so what does that matter?

Nine. Nine is a good number.

26 Hour Days

Today I wish the days were longer. Wouldn't 26 hours be more useful than 24?

For one thing, I could get two more hours of sleep. Or do important stuff for two more hours....like searching the web for places to live. OR...I could read The Inheritance for two more hours. This reading in short snatches of time thing frustrates me. I want to know what happens next, now. I'm sure the ending will be predictable....but I still want to know how they get to that ending.

So yes, wouldn't 26 hours be helpful?

Today I am antsy.

I should just chill.

But its so hard.

But: good news: I have a hot date in 10 days. A hot date. For me. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 Days.

Today's Favorites

What? Two posts? I know...shocking. This was supposed to be yesterdays, but that didn't quite happen.

To move or not to move. That is the question.

The answer eludes me right now.

So in order to distract myself from this weighty question- I would like to make a list of some of my favorite things right now:

1. Tim Tebow of the Florida Gaters. What, you may ask, is a Canadian girl like me doing talking about an American football player? Hello. Cute….and AMAZING?! Not to mention, I have always liked the Florida Gaters because…well….I liked Florida. I would see Gaters flags everywhere. It rubbed off on me. Now, I didn’t remember how much I liked the Florida Gaters….till…well…yesterday. Okay. Fine. It’s a new found like, okay? But seriously…good man. He’s saving himself for marriage. :D http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=35301

2. Castles. I love castles.

3. Ikea. I want to go to Ikea very badly. Kelsey: you+me+Edmonton+Ikea= glorious roadtrip to find adorable house things. Heck yes. Heck yes.

4. My roommate who keeps me up till the wee morning hours looking at engagement rings and houses with me. Just cause- lol.

5. This book: The Inheritance. http://www.tameraalexander.com/books.html I'm currently enjoying it tremedously. Life is too short to read boring books.

Long Handles

Names. I love naming things. There is such significance and importance in a name.

I like long handles that are unique, but spellable. Older names that have class, but not so old that my grandparents used them. I love names. Here is the list of names that I am admiring right now: (for those of you who don’t like my long handles, be grateful I have no kids to attach them to!...YET)

Boys:
Liam Nathaniel
Graham Nicholas
Jesse Xavier
Farren Sebastien
(I also admire: Fabian, Reid, Ryan, Damien, Aidan, Adrian)

Girls:
Natasha Laine
Hailey Claire
Allison Marianne
Bethany Joy
McKenna Helaina
(I also admire: Darcy, Vivian, Piper, Sabrina, Tabitha, Isabella)

Change

Today I am thinking about life changes.

Mid life crises. Taking a different road. Opened doors and closed windows.

I am climbing the mountain to the peak of change. I can see the peak but I’m not there yet. Fact is, I stink at rock climbing.

But I am climbing anyways. Anxious to find out what I will see at the top.

Fear of the unknown.

But excitement at the hint of an adventure.

I think in all my recent worry about what God is going to do next, He’s been helping me to prepare for that which He is about to do next.

A new start. In a new place.

But before that happens….I have to buy a bachelor at an auction. Its just part of the package.

What?

(P.S…I still want a beagle)

Puppy LOVE

As much as I want a husband and kids one day soon….I want a puppy, now.

With a puppy, sure you have to love and care for it, you can even talk to it.

But it’s not capable of intentionally spurning your love.

Especially if you give it a treat.

In puppy love there is no unrequited love.

I want a puppy.

I’m over unrequited love.

I would very much like puppy love.

I’d get me one in a heartbeat if I knew I would have the time to dedicate to loving a little cute creature. But alas, I don’t. Not yet…but maybe….soon?!?

I think I’d get a beagle. Just saying!

I would call him Rio. Red Rio. (After my favorite grapefruit juice of course).

Omg…how cute are they!!!!

Life

Sometimes my life is crazy.

That is a lie.

My life is crazy all the time. Even during the really dull moments that occur often.

Its been almost a month since my last post. I had a fabulous Christmas and a wonderful start to the new year. I hope you did too.

I honestly can't believe how fast my life is flying right before my eyes. It was just yesterday when I had teenager skin issues and high school tests looming. Not to mention the hundreds of books I used to have time to read.

I wouldn't go back though. I love my crazy life now. To say that many things have changed since the teenage years would be a fallacy, but to say that I'm still the same, that would be even more correct. My faith, friends, family, and relationship status have all remained faifthully the same. You know what I mean. But everything else....its different. I love life more now than I ever did. Sometimes I imagine myself conking out one day and relecting to see if I've lived life to the full.

If I conked today- I would say, yes, in a whole, I have loved my life to the full, Thank GOD!

If I conk today, know that I love you. YOU. Don't tell him that I loved him though....that would just be awkward- lol.

So what about you....have you lived life to the full up to this point?
