so I've been listening to Foy Vance a lot this week...I discovered him earlier this week & was blown away! He has this song
called "Homebird"....holy man, I've listened to it so much...in fact I think I'll play it right now! I ordered his two EP's a
couple days ago...and silly me, I was thinking it was in U.S. dollars...so I was like hmm, that's a pretty good deal...and "wow
only $8 for overseas shipping" NOT SO MUCH. goll, I'm pretty sweet & didn't realize until AFTER I got the confirmation bill
in my email that the total was in British Pounds. haha. so basically the total was twice as much as I thought & it turned out
to be not such a good of a deal as I was thinking. oh well. it will be beautiful for my ears to enjoy so the money spent shall
be worth it, i predict.
I just found out that I might be flying to Nashville in November! HOLLA!! oh man, overjoyed would be a word for that. It's so
crazy how things just fall into place eventually. It usually all works out in the end...as much as I can get frustrated or
tweak out from overstressing at work, etc. It all pretty much is good, when it comes down to it. Or maybe it's that I let go
of the bad...either way. It works for me, I guess.
ScrapFest-prep owns me. August should just be renamed to "Kelly Works Forever Month." I've gone through it every year, since
Archiver's has had it, so you think I'd be more chill about it...yet, every year, it is still stressful, and I get sick &
hit a wall, and have a breakdown at some point, with sleep that rarely occurs & Shelley breathing down everyone's neck as I try
to put out all the fires before her head blows off. But then there are those fun fun fun moments while I'm playing "receiver"
and Lisa & I(used to be Jill...tear) laugh all day while we are working our butts off...but together, without customers, and
fun music to listen to, so it balances out. This yeat the buyers chose to do everything last minute for some reason so the last
two weeks, all the freight is gonna hit us like a...freight......train? ha. I'll be a zombie. receiver overtime pay. so that's
okay i guess. overtime is a rare opportunity at archiver's...so i soak it up come scrapfest time. Honestly these people are
crazy...if I didn't WORK at Archiver's there is NO way I would EVER attend that event...those people are a special breed.
I was scheduled to work 10-5 today...but we switched it around to 7-2 so that Lisa and I could receive together. It's like
a never ending-losing battle. ha. We do so much but the freight just never seems to go away. But we cool like dat.
It's now 4pm...I'm home. wonderful. I've gotten less than 5 hours of sleep for a solid week or two and have not had a free
"moment" for awhile so I'm hoping to get laundry done tonight. In fact, I'm not gonna hope, I'm just gonna do it...and clean
and organize & workout. And just basically get my life back on track...sounds serious...but it just means I've been unorganized
for a little bit cause I've just always am going somewhere...usually work. booo that!
I really wanna curl my hair. like curl, curl...like loops...Ashlie refuses to do it. I don't know if I can make it through
my thick ass hair on my own...I usually get through one section and say "EFF THIS!" Ashlie is dying her hair brown tomorrow.
CRAAAAAZAY!!!!! We're gonna be the two rare naturally blonde chicks with brown hair. I think I'm gonna put mine back to more
of my natural color cause this up-keep is annoying! Roots are a bitch!
I can't even remember why I initially intended on writing this...hmmm. okay. bye.
