Wow, I am Amazed

Amazingly, I got a B on my psych exam yesterday! How did it happen, I wonder. Especially considering I took the test back when I was in the middle of work overload and had absolutely no time to study for it. I am 'psych'ed! Man, I am corny! Unfortunately, I found myself in one of my "moods" toward the end of the evening. I hate it. I get so grumpy for no apparent reason. I hate to blame it on PMS, because I like to believe that PMS is a mythological disease that women claim to have so that they have an excuse to be grumpy. I hate to say that I am beginning to believe that PMS truely does exist, and that I, sadly, am one of its victims. If anyone has any remedies to cure moodiness, I would grately appreciate it! (I am sure my boyfriend would appreciate it, as well. He is certainly one strong trooper, having to deal with me when I am upset.)

Beh. Anyway. We'll see what happens for Halloween tonight. The band is going to look at the layout for the CD and going to a party in Albuquerque, but I almost think I would rather stay at home and study. Although I really want to go out with my boyfriend, but yeah. I am incredebily indecisive. I really don't make decisions until the split second. Even with little stupid decisions, like which gas station to go to. I like to weigh my options the entire drive, but then decide for no reason which turn to take. ha I am silly.

Hungry cats are meowing my name everywhere. Enjoy your Halloween and please, for the love of candy, be safe.

Until next time....

Decision in the making

It is driving me crazy that I don't know what the next couple months are going to be like for me financially. I know I should get a job, but at the same time I know that no employer in their right mind would give me two weeks off only a month and a half after they hire me. I may be able to get a job on campus, and if I can't do it this semester, there is nothing holding me back from doing it next semester. I know that I will make it through, I just tend to get a little depressed if I don't have a job. It is so important for me to make it up to my dad's for Christmas and at that same time, we are going up to Iowa for my grandpa's birthday. There is no way I am going to miss that.

I am excited to stand in line for 3 hours to vote. *Can you sense the sarcasm* I am actually excited to vote, though! I am feeling confident in the person I am going to vote for!

Anyway, I have been getting the worst stomachaches lately. Its weird. At like, 12:30 AM the other day, I was so hungry. (Yes, I was still up doing homework.) I decided to go get something to eat, but when I was in the car, my stomach hurt SOOOOO bad. I ate, came home, went to sleep and woke up fine. It was slightly difficult to fall asleep that night, but I didn't think about it much again unti today. I was feeling completely fine, and decided to bring my boyfriend lunch. I got to Whole Foods, walked around for about, 2 minutes, and suddenly my stomach hurt so bad I wanted to cry. It seemed like a mile-long walk just to get to my Blazer. Then I got in the car and while I was driving, I almost started to cry because it hurt so bad. It was strange. Now I feel better... after drinking a cup of coffee. Weird, eh?

Don't forget to vote!

Love,
Kaleigh

Female cats spray?

So! I have an incredibly silly story to tell! Omar and I were hanging out, chit chatting and whatnot. The kittens were getting into their usual mischief, nothing too crazy. Suddenly, there was a SPLASH! I instantly knew what had happened, but it turned out to be funnier than I thought it would be. We ran to the bathroom and found PEE splashed all over the bathroom and on the cat. I almost cried I was laughing so hard, because well, to be blunt, Omar doesn't know how to flush a taza. It was disgusting, but I think he learned his lesson about flushing the toilet because I made him clean it up! Ha!

Anyway.... I hope you enjoyed my disgusting story.

Toodles, people!

Ahh I am so happy! Yesterday was wonderful. My time with the boyfriend is awesome (duh!) I will post a picture, just to show you!

This is a picture we took yesterday before we went out.
We went to Yoberri, my new favorite frozen yogurt place in downtown Santa Fe! Actually, we enjoyed it so much that we went back there this afternoon. It is deeee-lish. Afterwards, we went to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Afterward, we rented movies and went to buy my adorable cats some toys. They are sure spoiled. As you can see, Cleopatra hates the camera. I can never seem to get a good picture of her. We had another really enjoyable day today too. Things are just wonderful in that department.

On the other hand, I am nervous that I won't be able to find a job now. I looked in the paper and there were only like, two jobs that I qualified for. That is pretty crazy, considering today is SUNDAY. Usually there are so many job listings but there was only one page today. Scary.

Pumpkin carving must happen tomorrow! Woop woop woop!

Silly kittens...

So my kittens are pretty much crazy. Yes, I have come to that conclusion. Why, do you ask? Oh, only because they attack me and then literally 5 seconds later snuggle up on my lap, purring like crazy. I love them. Even when they try to rip my hoop earrings directly out of my ears with no remorse.

My amazing boyfriend and I are having a date night tonight. I am very excited about that, especially since we have had very few "dates". Yes, we've been together 6 months or so and have probably only gone on one REAL date a month. Isn't that silly? Sure, we go out to eat probably every day together. But unfortunately that doesn't mean getting at all dressed up or looking even halfway decent. (At least for me.) Ha! So tonight, I plan to put a little effort into my appearance (even though he is incredibly sweet and always tells me I look pretty no matter what.)

Don't forget that its Pumpkin Season!!! I am going to get a couple of pumpkins tonight. Hopefully Omar will want to carve with me! Its been years since I carved a pumpkin, and I am just really wanting to take advantage of this time of the year.

Also... isn't this crisp fall air just amazing? No snow, just the smell of winter air. I am in love with it. The only thing better than the smell of winter air is drizzling snow, "warm apple pie" candles, hot chocolate with mashmallows, kitties on your lap, thick, warm socks, and huge puzzles that take forever to finish... ahhh, heaven.. It is almost that time of the year!

Hugs and Sugar Cookies,

And then I quit my job ... again...

I no longer work at KidzZone. Yup, tomorrow would have been day 4 and I already quit. Reminder: Never work for a company that just opened. It was ridiculous. They hired me as part-time, but after 3 days of working ten hours straight, claimed I was hired as a full-time employee. For one, I never would have agreed to that, considering the #1 reason I quit at Cafe D's was too many hours, and I wasn't even working full-time there. If I wanted to work full-time at a place with craziness, I would have stayed at Cafe D's where I was typically making $15 an hour a day. I not only told them face-to-face that I wanted to be part-time, I also put it on my app. And they agreed that it was fine. My grades became more important to me. Secondly, they were just so unorganized it was ridiculous. For example, I told my boss I needed ONE day off for studying this weekend, and that was all fine and dandy. Then, however, my boss told the other manager that I said I couldn't work the day he scheduled me to (huge lie). At that point, the second manager text messaged me (professional, right?) and scolded me. Ohhh that ticked me off even more than I was to begin with. Thirdly, I disliked that job from the 2nd day.But ya know, whatever.

LIFE GOES ON AND I AM HAPPY! Fortunately I have a super supportive boyfriend. He encourages me to do what makes me happy, and for that I am forever grateful. If it wasn't for him, I probably would be working a job that made me miserable every day for the rest of my life. xoxoxoxo to you,sunshine!Anyway... I am kind of lonely right now. It is the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with my cats. I guess that is what I will do!


Later, gaters!

I am psyched! I have been wanting a kitten since I moved out of Santa Fe in February... well, I finally got my wish! Omar and I were planning on adopting a kitten on Monday, but he ended up working until around 5, which is when the center closes. Naturally, I was incredibly bummed out. We planned to go to town to get ice cream, and I, as all of you know, am very indecisive. I kept changing my mind about wanting to go all the way to town just to get ice cream. Well, right as we got onto Cerrillos, my friend Joy called me. That night, we took two of her kittens! At first we planned to take just one... I mean, two at one time is a lot of work. Especially since Omar has never taken care of a kitten in his life! But when we got there, I instantly fell in love with a little orange boy with bright blue eyes. His name is Milo. Milo was playing with the only dark-haired kitty in the bunch. Joy told us those two were good friends. So obviously, we had to take both of them. I am feeling so much joy to be able to love and care for two kittens. They have so much fun playing together. They also have fun waking people up when they are trying to sleep. Anyway, welcome to your new home, Milo and Miss Cleo!

Its funny how I find myself either having way too much free time, or not nearly enough free time. I am sad because Omar is going to Arizona next week with the band. Oh how lonely I am going to be! Good thing it is just going to be a couple days. And good thing I will be working the entire time!

Speaking of work... I am up in the air about this new job. It is going really well! I have fun. I think it is just the shoes I choose to wear to work. They break my feet off, pretty much. The job itself is great, as are the people I work with. My boss is wonderful. However, I think I am convincing myself I don't really need to work if I am going to go to school. That is dumb. I need to work. Ha! I really want to go up to Colorado for a couple weeks this winter.

My family from CO visited! Oh how I love my baby brother! We went to the zoo and celebrated my stepmom's birthday. It was absolutely wonderful. And they met Omar! They was awesome. I really enjoyed that. Anyway. I have a psych test tomorrow I am totally unprepared for, so I must run off and do my thing! I'll probably write again later today.Later!!!! Kali

I am in an interesting mood right now.I am so relieved to be done with Cafe D's because customers can just be so rude. Who in the heck gives people the right to treat their friendly servers like crap on the bottom of their shoe for no reason? That is something I will never understand. If there is one thing that I learned since becoming a waitress, it is to always be kind to your servers! They are people too, you know. And they need the money, too. Its funny. Every time I go out to eat now, I almost always tip 30% or more, whether they give me good service or not. If I get a smile, it is an automatic $5 tip, despite the amount of effort put into how I am treated.Anyway. Enough about that. Last night I slept for 12 hours. I felt incredibly lazy. I woke up feeling like a brand new person and am now feeling ready to get all of these papers, tests, and finals out of the way!Soo yeah, I guess I will start on my homework again. For some reason, I felt like I had a lot to say, but then I realized... I don't feel like wasting my words on a journal entry that I am not being graded on. Psych paper, here I come!!Love ya guys, Kaleigh

I am just so happy with life! Everything is perfect. No matter how stressed out I get, I still find myself back to an almost euphoric-like feeling. Maybe it is that time of the year- I just love fall. Or perhaps it is the fact that I have the coolest boyfriend around. Or maybe it is because I feel myself finding a place in life that I have been looking for since I was 14. Whatever the case, life is splendid! Oh yeah and Warm Apple Pie candles are practically heaven. 59cents at lone butte! I am in a bit of a panic about my focused portfolio. The child I am observing is moving... 2 months before my project is due! I am half way finished with it so I really don't want to find another child to observe, but then again what can you do when the kid moves to Guatemala? I could follow him! I feel like I wasted all of my "break" time from my homework. Math test tuesday, Psych paper due tuesday, regular test for health on monday, Final exam for health friday, midterm eval tues for child growth, self-defense final thurs, ahhh!!!!! I really should call my friend Danny and see if they still need help at KidZone. Last day at Cafe Dominic is Sunday! Yess!!! Two more days of getting up at 5 Am... not so cool. But I am training Yvette both days, so its cool! Later, Gators. P.S. Cold weather, I am ready for you!
