This is why I blog.. this is why, this is why, this is why i blog!

So its crappy Monday yet again(i guess its not really crappy, id just rather be home sleeping than here, therefore making today crappy) and i don't really have anything intelligent to write about, but for me this blog is cathartic. Confession: I have kept a journal since highschool. Yeah crazy, cause im not a great writer. I just happen to be one of those people whose thoughts and feelings get all jumbled together and i have much better clarity when I put it out on paper(or on computer). Its funny to go back through and read my journals. I wrote them to "Journal" who in my head was a person, who would read what i wrote, and care about my feelings. I generally didn't write to myself, it was often a third person. I literally started out with" Journal," and ended with "love, Kimi." Sometimes there would be a p.s. or an update from a previous entry. If I hadn't written in a while, I would "apologize" and then update with whats been going on since then. lol silly i know. Some were upbeat and funny and some were sad and depressing. i really had a hard time with boys and my physical appearance and wondering how come nobody wanted to date me. Its pretty sad to go back through and see how much boys impacted my self worth, and how ugly I honestly felt. I read them through now and have been tempted MANY times to throw them away but part of me wants to save them for my kids (cause they probably would get a kick out of them) and then the other part of me saves them for me cause they are my memories. I wrote about my massive crush in highschool, about my crazy roommate dramas in college, about meeting boys, about meeting and getting to know alfie, about feeling happy with life and sad and angry. I even wrote a letter to my future husband, lists of what i would like to accomplish in life, a timeline (i should be taking my children to Disney world this year according to that! lol) and even doodled clothing designs (I totally had a sweater dress drawn in there from prob freshman year college and now they are in style!) You name it its in there. I enjoy the candidness of blogging/journaling and it definitely helps me from being uber emotional because I take it out in the entry instead of the person/people. So that is why I blog... because I have before just in a different form, because it helps and because its fun. It has nothing to do with who reads its (although i do love knowing people care enough about my life to peek into it) and has everything to do with MUAH! :)

Gobble Gobble....

Confession: I can be a bit dirty at times. Surprise surprise. Those who know me are prob like "yeah nice OBVIOUS confession Kimi". But for the most part sexual humor, or talk doesn't bother me. Unless ofcourse I am with people who are either 100'x more groady and raunchy than me, or with people who can't handle sexual humor. then its just awkward. So since I can be dirty and joke with most, and in the spirit of the Thanksgiving season I thought I would share this Top 10 list that christy sent to me (from a coworker...ew):

Top 10 things you can only say at Thanksgiving!

10. Talk about a huge breast!

9. Tying the legs together keeps the inside moist.

8. If I don't undo my pants, I'll burst!

7. That's one terrific spread!

6. It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?

5. Just wait your turn, you'll get some!

4. Don't play with your meat.

3. I didn't expect everyone to come at once!

2. How long will it take after you stick it in?

and the Number #1 thing you can only say on
Thanksgiving....

1. I'm in the mood for a little dark meat.

haha nastaaaayyy. Think of these when you are all seated around the table enjoying a festive holiday gathering and your grandma says "Billy don't play with your meat! If you are just gonna play with it, stop and let someone else enjoy eating your meat." Only YOU will be the dirty one to think of it in this context :) LOL ( that was pretty much AWESOME!)

Happy Turkey Day :P

King Of Pop

Confession: I love Michael Jackson.

To me he is the greatest artist of all time, and fully deserves to be called "The King of Pop". You will rarely hear me say negative things about him and yes, I am one who does not believe he did anything harmful to children. Sadly he is just a bit different than people are used to and growing up in the public eye may have done more harm than good for Michael (yeah we are on a first name basis). But today I just have to say... " Seriously Michael?" Why does he ALWAYS have to be in the headlines for something retarded. Why can't people just leave him alone. and WHY can't he fricken do a show in Vegas!! lol YES i know wouldn't that be awesome! I already told alfie if he ever does a show in vegas I. AM. GOING. lol i would pay up to $1000 for a ticket to see his show, thats how much I love his music and his artisty.

I mean homeboy made history all in one night, one show by debuing his new sound with Billie Jean AND by doing the moon walk. Artists today have all been molded from the King of Pop.... Justin Timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown... all use his iconic dance moves and high pitched voice in many of their tracks, yet its amazing how few pay homage to their influence. Artists even go as far as using his actual beats in their music, like Rihanna's Please don't stop the music (it is originally MJ's Wanna be starting something). Even the concept of music videos became popular after his legenary "Thiller" video. On top of that his album Thriller, still holds the Guiness World Record for top selling album in history. YEAH WHAT?!? lol Yet people are so quick to hate on this amazing artist. I am a ginormous fan of his work and yeah he is a lil crazy and off at times, but who isn't. I for one would STILL LOVE to meet him. I would totally be one of those screaming/fainting/crying girls they used to show on tv at his concerts, and yes, the day he dies I will definitely mourn. I still remember where I was when I heard them say he was found not guilty on the child molestation charges. (I was getting off at the Rt. 250 exit in webster) I also got quite a few phone calls informing me. I am pretty sure I almost cried...lol. And no worries, pretty much my best friend thinks he is a child molestor, and I still love her, so no fear, your MJ preference doesn't bother me :)

Lauren..these are for you:

What do MJ and KMart have in common?....Little Boys pants half off!

How does MJ know when its time for bed?.....When the little hand touches the big hand.

How do you know when MJ has company?....There are Big Wheels in the driveway.

Yeah, nope. I don't get it.....

YOU. ARE. A. WOMAN.

If you have ovaries and female reproduction organs, you are a woman. According to Webster's Dictionary a female is "being the sex that bears young or produces eggs". Hm now this coould be argued with "what about women who get ovaries removed and can't produce eggs or bear young." Ok, i get that. But thats where this second part comes into play: "designed with a hollow or groove into which a corresponding male part fits" Ok, then please explain to me HOW this woman who calls herself a man is so special for having a baby? (self proclamation doesn't make you whatever you want to be) SHE IS STILL A WOMAN! Right? From what I have read, she has no weiner, she has ovaries and a uterus. What then makes her a man? The facial hair? Hmm no i know plenty of ladies who can grow stashes. lol The masculine clothing? Umm no sorry thats just a personal style. Maybe its the love of her same sex? yeah no thats just makes you gay. I don't get it. Sure she is on hormones but that doesnt make you a man. Don't we teach little kids, boys have a penis and girls a vagina? Then how are we calling this a "boy" when she clearrrrly has no penis (no an elongated clitorus is NOT a penis) **sorry for the graphic-ness..lol In my mind he is really a SHE, and therefore SHE is not all that important because SHE's have children often andthe only difference is that this SHE dresses like a dude. I mean seriously... SHE GOT HER PERIOD! COME ON! lol that is ALL WOMAN! This is just crazy. not even a fun crazy, more like a dumb crazy. If i decide to say I am a monkey, and move into the jungle, grow out my hair, live in trees, eat monkey food, that doesn't make me a monkey. It just makes me a crazy person who acts like a monkey. oye!

This is MY house...wait I mean OUR house :)

First, can i just say "YAY its friday!!" Thank you! - Ok, on to the blog. Confession: This "our" thing is pretty tough. As the weeks pass, Alfie and I have been working on putting our home in order. (can you believe its already been 3 months!!) Only problem is what I like is often WAY different than what he likes.

I like....

traditional

neutrals

classic

timeless

quiet

He Likes....

crazy

bold

modern

busy

loud

This makes for decorating our home an interesting task. For example, just the other day we were FINALLY decorating a wall in the living room with a shelf (because we are having a whole bunch of guys over saturday who are going to honestly care if there is a shelf on the wall. mmmhmmm yes you feel me?!) Anyways I was cool with the shelf up and putting stuff that we have on if for now just to see what we like. Alfie, on the other hand, wanted to practically drill everything in place and never ever ever move it. LOL. Poor thing hasn't realized my crazy obsession with changing a room around. So ok i was able to convince him to let me think on things before we start drilling holes in the wall for stuff to hang. And ofcourse I came up with a better idea the next day. Which needless to say has not been implemented. Good/cost effective decorating takes time! He isn't quite sure of it but I think it will look better than what is there now. I always chuckle to myself as I wonder what the house would look like if i let him decorate as he wants. Although I do feel amazingly blessed that he likes to have an imput. So many guys could careless when their wife askes which color duvet to put on the bed. Alfie (as long as you catch him in the right mood) will think about it and answer (he chose red for this week). I am very blessed. I just struggle with having to incorporate enough of his stuff so that 1. he feels comfortable in his house, and 2. that he keeps giving me an input when i ask.

Confession: Alfie is as weird as I am. LOL yeah I know! Who woulda thought its possible. But anyways, yesterday alfie and I went to Kohls to do a bit of shopping (his giftcard was burning a hole in his pocket and so was my paycheck!) and we were in the home section way in the back looking at frames and they were playing Rihannas "Please Don't Stop the Music" (yes that is a totally rip off of MJ's Wanna Be Startin Something) when I started walk dancing in the aisle next thing you know alfie and I busted out the robot and were "roboting" to the song, right there in the middle of the aisle at Kohls. LOL that is what I love about him!

So enough of that. Whats up for this weekend??
Actually nothing for tonight. Probably just some cleaning for tomorrow, in which we are having people watch the UFC pay per view fight. Yeah I. am. so. excited.....can't you tell? But thats ok, cause I totally get to hangout with Sara for dinner and some quality Color Me Mine time! I can't wait. I think I am going to paint something christmassy for the house. And in the morning I am doing hair for my second set of sisters! Lauren and Shauna for a wedding they are going to! I haven't had a chance do do updos in forever, that I am really looking forward to it. Pluuus im getting a free breakfast out of it, because they loooove my work (and im doing it free..lol). So yes I am so ready for my weekend of YAY to start. I probably will leave work at 3 to enhance the YAY factor!!

Have a good weekend all!!

HAHA... Are you serious?!

Ok what do you get when you take

AND




You get MTV Presents: RockBand Battle. HUH? Yes what you are thinking is EXACTLY right! All those times playing RockBand when you think, I wish I was on a stage with lights and fans (ok maybe everyone doesn't think that)! Well finally the time has come to showcase the excitement that is rock band! According to the commercial Alfie and I watched (which totally made us proptly set the DVR to record the show) groups of average joe Rock Band addicts play onstage in a concert type setting, televised on tv. Seriously? Does it get any cooler than that?! I personally am looking forward to some freakin Bon - Jovi being played right!

Ok so as geeky as it sounds this got me thinking... kareoke is so effin popular but thats only singing.... why don't places do a rockband night?! HOLLA that would rock! That could totally be an avenue the game could take, in a non-video game sorta way you "play through songs" and bars would host these RockBand nights complete with mic stands and lights and a "stage" it would be LEGEND.... wait for it DARYYYYY! I know champs did a guitar hero night but seriously this is wayyy better and I would totally go hear people attempt songs on Rock band! So when this trend takes off, just remember where you heard it first....ME! Then I thought its a shame they didn't have non-secular songs cause could you imagine what an excellent YG event that would be hosted by some church....sigh oh well.

Just my tidbit to get you to watch the show! You know I will be! :)

Whoaaa thats HOT!!

Ok so in an effort to be frugal (yes thrifty but not cheap) we keep out heat low at the house and usually just wear sweatshirts or blankets when laying around watching tv. No biggie right? Well last year I purchased what I call "my blanket". My blanket is actully a sweater but its HUGE with a turtleneck collar and that microplush material. It is the most comfortable thing ever! So i tend to throw on "my blanket" and my slippers (those are actually slippers) and am super comfortable all evening. So last night I am all bundled up and decided to go to bed early (great decision cause i really woke up so rested!). Anyways, our bedroom is as cold as the rest of the house and the sheets were freezing so I decided to leave "my blanket" on when I got into bed. I fell asleep quickly. Alfie said at 9:10 when he came looking for me after him movie so we could watch House I was totally out! Now all I remember was going to bed in a freezing room with cold sheets under a nice and thick down blanket and waking up in HELL! No joke i felt like I was in a suana. I had completely fallen asleep in a thick sweater with pants, socks and down blanket. My tshirt was sooo wet (not damp but WET) and my hair at my neck had curled from all the sweat. It was nassss - ttttaaayyy ! Needless to say, I had to change into dry pjs in the middle of my night.

On a weirder note (yeah cause that first part wasn't odd enough), I had the most bizarre dream last night. This is what i remember from it: I was at this mall by myself shopping. Some guy came up to me, i don't know if he was bothering me or what but he told me I could hit him in the face. So i totally punched him. Like a good UFC knockout kinda punch. He was stunded and so were his friends and I think I hit him twice and said something about how I have a punching bag so I have a good hit. Like no joke this was a kick @$$ hit! Anyways, so then I got nervous that he was gonna come after me as I was leaving the mall that I said something to the girl at the icecream place (i guess we were friends and I was having icecream). She told me to go see her friend at NY&Co and they would help. I don't remember if it was a guy or a girl but next thing I know me, christy and someone else are attempting to sneak into my parents house. weird. Thats all I remember. But I was pretty impressed with my super punch.
Moral of the story: Don't mess with me, I can be pretty bad @$$ if I need to :)

Hi! Wanna be friends?!

Confession: X (the company I work for) is full of old people. Now don't get me wrong, old people are nice if you want sympathy or to be taken care of but when you want friends.... old people just don't cut it all the time. So in my quest to find people MY age, I have found 3: The cleaner who picks up my trash... nice guy to shoot the breeze with in the morning. Then there is the other cleaning girl but she is really quiet and then there is the New Girl!! I have seen her in the hall a few times and initially thought she was a cleaner but then noticed she never had the tell tale garbage or mopp with her. Hmmm what does she doooo? Well today in my inbox i had a meeting update adding someone new to a bi-monthly meeting. At the bottom it said "Sally Kay" added to meeting notice (name changed to protect identity). So nosey me looked her up in the directory and YAY! its the young girl!!! (by young i mean my age!) Now tell me how sad it is that that is clearly the highlight off my day? I plan to make her a friend. it really is no fun spending 40hrs a week with your parents. Some I will admit are cool and you can totally hang with but others are just soooo blah. i find it problematic if they have children my age. It makes me feel like loser plus its just way hard to relate. Especially when its the "what did you do over the weekend?" conversation. They respond with "well i drove lil bobby to basketball then picked up suzy from college for the weekend" and your weekend was "hung out with friends at a party, went to a bar, etc." but PTL I have found a friend!! lol yes that sounds so loser ish, but seriously.....SERIOUSLY. So my goal is to make her a buddy. Is that stalkerish? it feels like it!

Confession: X gave me free tickets! yes thats right I won free tickets to the nutcracker! YAAY. I have only been waiting to see this since I took dance in 4th grade. Evvvvvery year mom said she would take me and EVvvvvvery year she never did. Well anyways i saw the drawing for the tickets and put my name in the bin 4 times in an effort to snag the convetted prize. I guess persistance pays off! So alfie and I and another lovely couple are going and doing it up! We are going to a nice dinner at Black and Blue and dressing up. I already know what I am going to wear! Alfie just got me this black very Jackie O looking dress (i was there he just insisted I get it and paid for it) it was only $15 but it has white around the collar and the two pockets. Anyways that should be a very fun time!

Take me OUUUUUUT Tonite!

Confession: I LOVE going out. Now ease up. its not for the typical 20 yr. olds reasons. I love dancing and getting dressed up and people watching and loud music. One of my wishes is that I hadn't given up taking dance growing up, because it was so much fun and I was pretty good at it. Well to me thats going out. I could care less about the alcohol, or about the trashy grinding on people, or the going out to pick someone up (duh im married). But you give me a darkend room with crazy lights and loud music(good stuff none of this scream-o alternative crap) and I am sooo in my element! But as I get older I don't get to go out as often as in college. And thankfully I don't miss it as much, but sometimes you just hear "that song"... you know... the one with the hot beat and awesome vibe to it that you can't help but dance everytime you hear it (yep even in the car). For me that song lately has been Forever, by Chris Brown or an old faithful "yeah yeah" by Usher or for an old - school song "Push It" by Salt and Peppa. I mean I hear ANY of those songs and my lips instantly pucker (ya know in that fake myspace picture smile) my head and shoulders bob and my booty shakes (even as slight as it may seem). Its such a good time!! Thats just the dancing portion! Add in the LOADS of people wearing different outfits its like walking through a fashion magazine! You see so many different people rocking their version of what is hot and you totally go home thinking "Ok maybe I could wear cute leggings or a snazzy hat" Or that ever so popular Victoria Beckham hairstyle! And then i have to admit, I thoroughly enjoy the dark side....the drama. Yes I know, Im terrible. but really don't lie, you like it too. I mean come on - You would totally stop and stare if you saw some girl YELLING at her guy and ended up throwing her cell phone at him in the middle of the road and it flying apart cause she missed! I mean thats some serious Jerry Springer action!! that my friends is going out at its best, well worst i guess.

On the up side I will give the first person who can accurately tell me what my title of this blog is from (Take me OUUUUUT Tonite) MAJOR props and a cyber high five (yeah I know excellent incentive). Its from one of my favorite movies (i'll label it a movie because it would give it away if i labeled it what it originally is) and Alfie thinks its gay (lol pun yeah I know).

So I am hoping to go out for a bit tonite. maybe someplace new. to atleast get a taste or the music/people/dancing/fashion that I enjoy! You wanna go??

Its begining to look a lot like Christmasssss....

Can you believe its November already??? WOW talk about the months flying by! But its finally almost "tis the season" time. Confession: Im actually feeling the spirit of christmas this year!! yeah i know you are probably like "WHAT?? who are you? the grinch?" Noo its not that I don't like christmas but some of the hoopla does get on my nerves... like the excessive christmas music. Do we HAVE to play the same 10 songs over and over from Thanksgiving til new years? or how about the Crazy decor of tinsle, ribbon, ornaments, reindeer and the like. Don't get me wrong I generally enjoy all that for a few days but come on they ALREADY decorated the mall! Let us enjoy the beautiful harvest time before all the christmas decorations. I haven't even gotten a chance to hate pumpkins and leaves yet!! But this year is different! I am looking forward to christmas (minus the snow). Maybe its cause I get to decorate the house MY way and shop for lil "tis the season" knick-knacks. And get to have christmas music playing and my very own little christmas tree! I am VERY much into christmas this year. Alfie ofcourse is VERY much into christmas every year. AND for the very first time since dating Alfie, I will FINALLY accompany him to the christmas eve service! Every year he has asked me to go and every year I have been guilted by mother into going to the family christmas get-to-gether. But this year I have already said I would go and am hoping to offer my assistance to the Christmas play (HAHA don't worry folk, I won't be singing nor acting. my talents must be used elsewhere). I am looking forward to having the house all Christmassed out! I even contimplated how fun it would be to have a Christmas party! But I think we are going to do a dressy New years Extravaganza instead. I haven't decided if we want to do a small formal dinner or a Large bring a "fancy" dish to pass and get all dressed up party. We will see. Probably the more the merrier! But ONLY if people dress up! No jeans, no sweats.... cocktail attire. Sport coats and khakis or dress pants and dresses or skirts or pantsuits for the ladies. I think it will be fun, a nice reason to dress up!
