rainy day update

Jun 20, 2009 09:41

It's been such a long time since I've updated. I've been guilty of such large gaps of time lately. i'm not stressing, though - i still have my actual journal at home. Why do I feel the need to document my life all over the place? - Journals, online journals, random pages in notebooks. I'm easily amused, I suppose, or I just get bored real easily.

But, that's besides the point.

So, summer is pretty much here, and I just feel like so much is happening. The last time I updated was in April. I feel like I can't even remember that far back.

Kristin and I have been working on the house in Brick. We have done major cleaning jobs in every room, major landscaping, and all the while fighting my uncle for it. He is just so irritating. We try to clean and make the house look nice, make it look the way it used to, and he hates it. I've never met anyone in my entire like who hates a clean house as much as he does. It's really warped.

Work is good, same old same old.

Phil and I are really excited about our trip. I really can't wait. He's leaving soon, on July 9. He'll be gone for about two-three weeks, and then I'm shipping over!

Before I leave for Europe, though, is the party! July 11th, 205 Cartagena Drive in Brick. This is the party my sister and I have been planning and cleaning and preparing for all summer.
This weekend we are finally going to be painting the downstairs bathroom. I can't wait until that's finished. After that, I just have to buy a volleyball net, my brothers getting horseshoes, and my sister bought the dart board. We're going to have bocce ball and a huge game of tug-o-war, plus boat rides, food, drinks, music...the works.

I really hope it turns out OK. I hope it doesn't rain.

So...more exciting news from Kelly-world: Iove lost 18 POUNDS since March!! I feel so incredibly amazing. This is really the thinnest I've been since my early highschool years. I started out at 163 and I'm down to 147. I really don't even remember the last time I saw 147 on a scale. Even the fact that I'm saying my weight is awesome for me. In all, I've lost about 40 pounds. At my heaviest ever, I was 180, which was just so embarassing. I remember stepping on a scale and seeing how close I was to 200 lbs and just panicking. So, in about 2007, I was able to come down from 180, and now I'm feeling amazing at 147. I'm still going, too. I don't want to be any thinner than 140, because then I would lose every (good) curve I have. I don't want that, I think staying within the range of like 140-147 is a good range for me. I don't want to be too skinny because I don't think I would look good like that. I like having my curves still. We'll see where I am by the party!

What else, what else...my cousin Lauren and I want to go sky-diving again this year. We went last year, in like..September? I think? Sometime around there. We're thinking of going again. I would like to go when I get back from my trip.
I would also like to plan a white water rafting trip. Again, this stuff wouldn't go down until August, but I feel like that's right around the corner. Plus, I'll be gone for over two weeks, so I would have to get on that as soon as I get home.

If anyone is interested in sky-diving or white water rafting, let me know.

Alrighty well, here we are...another rainy-ass SAturday. Ugh, what a waste of my day off. I'm sure I can find something to do. Phil is still sleeping next to me. He's such a cutie when he sleeps :o)

I should get going - i'll try to update again soon.

Until next time ♥
