Playing Catch Up!

I am not sure if New Years Resolutions are like Birthday wishes. Are you or are you not suppose to tell? Well, whatever! For the year 2009, I decided, this was truly going to be my year! I was going to go out more and do things. Because let's face it, if left on my own I would rarely leave my apartment. I would walk to work in my sweats and a happy bun. Order movies on the Internet and settle in for a new viewing every night around 8 with a large drink in my hand of whatever was on special at the bevmo. But no! I am going to try, while yes, that is pretty much my week, on the weekend though! I am going to go out. I am going to have fun! I am going to be a 'yes man' instead of always finding a glamorous way of explaining my need for sleep and CSI reruns. I was doing well. I went out to a couple different bars with friends, maybe because Darwin is very much in favor if this new way of life and sorta doesn't take no for an answer, but that isn't important. Then, after his semi weekly hair cut, during my boyfriend's basketball game, when Chad invited me along with him and his wife to a local dive bar, I said yes! All on my own! On purpose! Plus, invited Grey, Rembrandt, and Aristotle. This was going to be good times! So we go, despite Grey's vocal unhappiness with the choice venue. Not as bad as she made it seem, the place was actually really cool! I enjoyed myself and my surroundings. This was a place I could see myself hanging out, especially Doodle Bug! He would totally fit in here! Einstein would not love it. Darwin could get into it. Van Gouge and Freud.. totally love it! Yay new place. Then, sitting, enjoying my buzz, conversing with Aristotle I notice somebody sitting at the edge of my table. It was a long lost buddy I hadn't seen in the last six years since graduation! Then behind her two more trickle in! NO WAY! Great times! Talking, sorta catching up as much as the booze would let us try. Needless to say, I will be back. So many more good times to be had. I even think I may invite the Navy Crew there because they love that sort of atmosphere! SO EXCITED I decided to go out, have fun, and really just be. Maybe what I am missing isn't something I never had. Maybe it is something I use to have, or rather the someone I use to be.
Love Always, K

numero uno...

So, after years of reading people's blogs I have always been fascinated with them, and their confidence in their lives and themselves in laying their lives out there for the world to read. I always wished for the ability to be able to think of myself as someone who people would read about. Then it hit me... I don't have to be anybody but myself! I am interesting and amazing all on my own without even trying. Surrounded by my great and wonderful friends, there is plenty to laugh, smile, love, hate, frustrate and even sometimes cry about. I am sorry I am not going to be very good at this at first but with a bit of trail and error I will get good!! I will try to be here for better and for worse. For the good, the bad and the drunken nights gone terribly down hill. Thank you for your time! Love K
