New Year Start and a Rivalry
Happy New Year!
I figured a new year deserves a new font. So far, the year is not so terribly bad...
There's only the bad weather and stupid people out there. Last night, when Jeff and I got home from Jason and Erin's it was -8 or -10 degrees. No big deal right? Well for me it is. I'm like a lizard, I'm cold blooded which for those that know means that I need a heat source.
Another thing that happened last night, Jeff and I were going to go park when we were stopped by three drunken guys. They asked for a ride back to the motel across town. I personally thought it was sketchy at first but it is the season of giving and it was cold. So Jeff got out, let them pile up into the back seat and we took a small trip back across town. One of them was from Brooklyn (he was freaking hilarious), the second was from Texas (so for him it was colder than I felt), and the last one was quiet most the way so I have no idea where he was from. Needless to say not a lot of people start their new year like that. But at least they got back safely and warmly.
Technically it's the second so I can say yesterday was mine and my boyfriend's first year anniversary. YAY!!!! :) Not that it matters to many but I find it very important. Obviously. But anyways, we didn't do much, had to work unfortunately. But I get to spend time with him at our home and that's what's important, right? Right. So Jeff if you're reading this, I know I've said it already yesterday but Happy Anniversary Amor!
On to a completely different matter, the ever-constant battle between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. A coworker and I were talking this have this discussion earlier. It started by my saying how another friend of mine had bought Pepsi product chap stick (included Cherry Vanilla Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Diet Mt. Dew, Mt Dew Code Red, Pepsi and I believe Diet Pepsi). Well, I had smelt them and they didn't smell like what they should at all. So Erin, the friend who bought them was rather disappointed...saw that coming. Before I knew she had those, I purchased Coca-Cola product chap stick (included Coca-Cola, Vanilla Coke, Cherry Coke, Coke lip gloss, and Cherry Coke lip gloss), fortunately for me they did smell like what they should...also saw that coming. Anyways we were saying how we wished we could have Coke instead of Pepsi products at the restaurant we work at (I would probably actually drink soda then).
Question Time!
Coca-Cola Fan or Pepsi Fan?
Please don't say both, they aren't the same.
Ta-ta for now!

2013 Comes to a Close
Well, 2013 is coming to a close as we speak. I'm sure 2014 will bring us many highs and lows. So as a fun game sort of thing, I've come up with a countdown of my ups from this last year. I would do downs but I don't know if I could come up with ten of them (I've had a pretty great year).
So the good of 2013:
10. A wonderful boyfriend who loves me day in and day out no matter what.
9. Amazing friends who are always there to laugh and cry with me whenever.
8. A loving family, whose faces I never get tired of seeing.
7. Though it may be considered a crap job to many, I'm grateful for my job, I wouldn't be typing this in a bedroom if I didn't have it. It's tough sometimes being a manager but the coworkers I have make it simpler.
6. My adorable little kitty, Misty. Yes, I'm including her, she fills a lot of laughing space in my days especially when I have days off.
5. A healthy body. I wouldn't be able to walk to work a lot if I didn't have my able legs or even make it through the long work days that have consistent moving around. Plus, whenever I do yoga, my body is grateful for getting rid of stress.
4. The new books that I have bought, read, and will continually read again. Extremely grateful for living over a hobby store that sells my kind of books.
3. Dagohir. Before Jeff, I've never heard of it but it's just wonderful. What's better than thinking medieval-like and beating your friends with handcrafted foam weapons? Probably a lot but it's still high up there.
2. I don't know if many will think this as an up besides maybe Dustin but Johnny Depp is still an ongoing, spectacular actor, that is aging beautifully if I do say so myself.
And to the last one, dang this is kind of hard, (this might be cheesy) but I guess the fact that I get to do this all over again next year. Maybe a little differently and with more blogs. :)
So now I guess my resolution even though I've never really done one is to be more relaxed. Food service if anyone knows can wear you down pretty good sometimes, but hopefully next year I won't let it be.
2 Questions for the wonderful people today:
Did you have more of an up year or a down year?
If you do resolution, what will it be for the year 2014?

Bah Humbug...I hate Valentine's Day
My friend, Keeli, was sitting in the booth with me for a while and as I was coming back I had said, "I just came up with a brilliant new blog idea...hating on Valentine's Day." By the look on her face, I got the seal of agreement.
Before I begin, if you like the holiday, good for you. I still dislike it. Don't hate on me for my opinion. :P
So here goes...
5 days until the dreaded Valentine's Day. As I said, bah humbug...I hate Valentine's Day. Yes, I do have a boyfriend whom I love dearly and who loves me back. I still hate the day, not because I spent most of my high school years alone but because it's a stupid pointless holiday in my opinion. No I'm not bitter, nor will I be a bitter old maid. On the contrary, I'm a hopeless romantic. There are certain things that just make me melt or swoon. Valentine's day is not one of them.
All it is at this point is a corporate holiday. Kinda like Christmas. Everybody goes out and buys the pink frivolous stuff without regard for the history and actual meaning of the holiday.
Somewhere, back in time, (guessing about 270 A.D.) on February 14, a man by the name of Valentine died from execution by Emperor Claudius II. What made him known as a saint was the fact that Valentine married people behind the emperors back. You see, men who were married did not want to go to war for Claudius, so he set in a law of young men could not marry so they could serve in the war. But this is just the legend of St. Valentine.
I'll admit Valentine was a sweet man. Now, it comes down to the history of the holiday itself. Some time after his death, the Catholic church decided to have his death date as a commemoration. (Really it was to "Christianize" the pagan festival to Lupercalia which was Roman festival representing fertility for people and crops). The Roman festival consisted of two part: 1 the men sacrificing an animal, usually a goat, then skinning that animal. With the hide, they would then whip the women. 2 The womens' names would be in this giant pot and thinking of it as a lottery (for those of you who know how that used to work) and the men would draw a slip of paper from the pot and for the rest of the festival they would be "fertility partners". Well, the women enjoyed being whipped so much that they would willingly put their names in the pot the next years.
Now how romantic was that! Valentine's day lovers, your holiday originated by masochists involved in a mass orgies.
On my final thoughts of the holiday, if you need one day to express how much you love someone, (again in my opinion) that is pretty sad. You should be showing them you love them everyday. I would say "I don't mean to brag..." but I'm going to, my boyfriend, Jeff tells me everyday that he loves me and that he's lucky to have me. He'll kiss me and hug and hold me. That how I know he does. I love him very much. I tell him that everyday as well. I hug, hold, and kiss him back. And that is how he knows that I love him.
Finally, done. So you all have a great rest of the week. Everyone you hold close and dearly, love them everyday and let them know it. Not just on that twisted day. :)

We are young, we are strong. We're not looking for where we belong.
Since I have no idea of how to start this blog, I'm starting with the fact that I got to meet my amazing boyfriend's mother today. I had no idea that she was going to stop by Culver's today, and I don't think that Jeff knew either but I'm not entirely sure of that. But anyways, I had been helping a customer when she walked in and the customer I was helping answered their cellphone real quick so I just decided to greet her thinking she was a customer (fyi I was on register 1, away from the cold of drive....teehee). Then for some reason, I see Jeff out of the corner of my eye come up front from the kitchen; as he's approaching the lady I just greeted (mom), I suddenly realized the resemblence and find out it's his mom. As they talk, Sheila comes up next to me and asks, "Who's your man talking to?" I respond with, "I believe it's his mom." Sheila then goes, "That's his mom? Damn, she's pretty." "I know, right?!"
I felt like an idiot honestly. See, Jeff had shown me pictures of his mom and sister on Facebook before so I should have recognized her, but I was just in shock with how pretty she is.
So back to what I was saying, Jeff and his mom come over to register 1, Jeff introduces us, and I shake her hand. We talk for a little bit. And from what I'm told by Jeff and Sheila, she approves of me as a girlfriend for Jeff from what she knows. I ask how they think that, the reasoning I'm then given is that she gave me a good-bye hug. :)
After Mrs. Tate leaves, Dustin and Jerry (back in the kitchen) through the window ask who we were talking to, Jeff says again that it was his mom. Dustin's jaw literally drops and goes, "that's your mom?! She's hot!"
I just love how my coworkers respond to certain things.
In other news, Erin, Jason, Jeff, and I get to move into a new trailer. Again, I do know that some of you are thinking, 'Kelsey, it's too soon! You should wait!' and stuff along those lines. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the opinions; but as I have told some of the people who were very high against it I am an adult and I can make my own decisions. Sure some in the past have been reckless and stupid and childish, but I've got a really good feeling about this. I mean Jeff makes me feel amazing and beautiful! As I've said in my last blog, I'm more secure about myself now and I'm actually healthier than I've been in a long time since I've stopped puking my guts out. I really do feel as if Jeff is going to be in my life for a long period of time. And sure some will frown upon living together but how else are you supposed to find out how a person really is than in their comfort place called home. I'm young but I have seen many marriages in my life that don't work out because the two people couldn't get along at home because they've never "lived" around them. For those that still think badly about it, go right ahead, be my guest, I don't really care. I've thought long and hard about this, I know it's a very grown-up decision and a serious one at that. I do love him very very much and I think it's a new milestone in my life, one that's going to happen eventually so I figure "why not now?" and "why not with Jeff?"

Better Days
So a recent update on my life...
A. I tried to get to go back to taking classes this next semester that's supposed to start on Thursday technically (would have been Monday for me, attempted to take a 7am and an 8am class), but unfortunately I didn't get my registration in on time. So I have to wait another semester at least to take any sort of class again.
B. The rumors are true. I did break up with Daniel recently. We had many differences and they weren't apparent to both of us until only last month. We had different views of the world; different goals; and in general just headed in complete opposite directions.
I was surprised actually, I thought getting my heart broken again wouldn't hurt me. But it did. I didn't cry of sadness, just of frustration and anger based on previous emotions and thoughts.
Anyways,
C. I've found a very loving young man whose a really good friend actually. Jefafa, as I like to call him. Yes, I am crazy and yes, I am crazy about him. Tall, dark, and yes handsome (even if he thinks otherwise =P). Around him, I laugh; I can't help but to always smile, and I feel no care or worry in the world. I can eat normally again and keep it down. I don't fear the world. I'm comfortable with who I am and how I behave. I don't feel judged at all. I don't feel the need to hurt myself to get rid of a conflicting pain. He's basically like a comfort blanket. He's wonderful.
I can tell now, a bunch of you are probably shaking your heads and saying/thinking something like, "Kelsey, you are young. Just have fun!" or "you're moving on too fast!" But as all of you should know me as me, I don't slow down in life.
D. I now have two tattoos. For those of you who didn't know about the first one, it is in the middle of my back between my shoulders. Its of Fleur de lis. It's not like solid, it's outline of it with light shading just along the inside of the lines. My second one is on my right side ribs. It's from the book, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. And pretty much describe me to the core.
So as a conclusion to this blog post. Everyone take the time to forgive. Forgive those who have hurt you, forgive those who have hurt your friends. And if you've done wrong, apologize, forgive yourself for doing wrong and move on.

Writers block
In case you didn't know November is National Novel Writing Month. And so far, I'm off to a pretty good start with 4000 words. There's only one problem, writer's block. It's only November 3rd and I'm stumped. I'm going to assume that I just need a day to relax from it. With that being said, I'm going to stop talking about it because I just know that if Tessa sees this, she'll be saying something along the lines of, 'don't be saying those horrible words!' By the way Tessa if you do read this, don't be upset with me, I meant that in the most loving way possible. =) I love you, lady!
And just so I don't leave them out, I love you Jenn and Ginny! =)
Speaking of Tessa, Ginny, and Jenn, on wednesday (Halloween) these lovely ladies wanted to have fun on this day and dress up as book characters for pictures at McCrory Gardens. Since I didn't have to work until 5 and I do adore these ladies very much, I decided to take up their invite and join them in this adventure time. Miss Ginny dressed as Ginny Weasley from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Miss Tessa dressed as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games, Miss Jenn dressed as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and I dressed as Wendy Darling from Peter Pan.
We had a blast! Afterwards, the ladies were hungry so we went to Qdoba, where we got some of the strangest looks. At one point before we were leaving, Jenn was getting more soda and a little girl went up to her and started talking to her. Needlesstosay, it was a-dor-able!!!
Moving on...at work (yesterday actually) one of our new employees watched me while I was setting food for drive; when I got done sending an order of tenders and mashed potatoes out, she asked, "I noticed you put a fork and a spoon in that bag...why?" I then explained to her that I found odd how we only put forks with mashed potatoes with gravy. I would imagine that if I were to have mashed potatoes with gravy (which I don't, really) that I would prefer to finish all of it. Almost as my mom always told me, don't take what you won't finish.
With all this in mind, I will say farewell for now.
Bonus question: Do you prefer eating mashed potatoes with gravy with a spoon or a fork? (Sorry spork is not always available)
