Books

Since I finished my real estate class last week (ya-hoo!) I want to start reading for pleasure again. I am an avid reader, but lately I haven't seen a book that I really want to dig in to. So that's where you come in...have any great reads that you've finished lately? I'm not looking for self-help books or suspense/horror. I'd really like to read something that has a great storyline and it's something I can't put down. Let me know ... and thanks! :)

Wedding Gifts...

I always come across this situation when we have a wedding to go to: Kevin and I have the hardest time picking out something from the couples' wedding registry! I never know if we should get them one big item, or if we should complete a set of something (i.e. napkins, plates, glasses, silverware, etc.). I don't know what's more helpful because obviously, I've never been married or had a registry. So for those of you who are married out there, what was more helpful for you? Did you like it more when family and friends completed a set for you, or did you find it more convenient when you got one large gift that was on your list? Or for others out there, what do you usually do when buying a couple a wedding gift?

We have a wedding to go to in a couple weeks and we need to figure out what we're getting this couple soon.

Thanks for your help!

Smorgasbord

As usual, it's been a busy week! But it's made the work days go by so much faster, so that's nice. I don't really have anything specific to post about, just some various things; pretty much a smorgasbord of stuff. I've always wanted to use that word in a sentence and there you have it!

I've officially started working out this week. This whole time I've been on WW I haven't worked out at all, yet still managed to lose weight. Not real sure how that happened, but it did. However, I'm sure I'll hit a plateau sooner or later, so this week I decided it was time to start exercising again because my flab needs to be fab! ;) I went to the gym Monday through Wednesday, and I'll be going again tomorrow (taking a break today). That's really good for me. Usually I'll only go one or two days and then just not go for like another week (or month...eeek!).

Today is Kevin and my Friday! Ya-hoo! We are headed to Donner for a nice three-day weekend to relax and unwind. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures so I can do a re-cap next week. We'll be taking Kahlua this time, so that should be interesting. Kevin's aunt and uncle (who's cabin we're staying at) have a Jack Russell who is HYPER and doesn't like other dogs too much, and Kahlua is not fond of other dogs either, so hopefully they both behave themselves. Otherwise, things could get ugly. I'm excited to get away for a few days though, and do something different with my guy :)

I will finally be getting my hair done next weekend!!! I don't think you understand how excited I am about this. It's been a year since I've had a really good cut. I've had a couple in between, but they weren't good and I was not an impressed client. But next weekend I'm making a day trip to SLO to see my most awesome hair stylist. She is honestly the only one that can cut and style my hair the way I like it. She also does a glaze about once a year. It's not really a color, it's more of bringing out the natural color of your hair and making it look richer. So I'm getting that done too. Can't wait to show ya'll my new 'do! It'll be done just in time for a wedding that we're going to in a couple weeks too!

My friends Margaux and Ryan have a son named Ben and he is a cutie patootie! Ben has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and will be admitted to the hospital on Monday for a couple weeks to get rid of the nasty pseudomonas that are still showing up in his cultures. Please keep them all in your prayers. This will be Ben's first hospital stay (other than when he was born) and he's an active little toddler, so I'm praying for patience and strength for Margaux and Ryan as they try to keep Ben comfortable and occupied for the next two weeks. I'm sure those hospital walls will start feeling very confining after only a couple days. I'm going to try and pay them a visit if they're up for it. :)

Earlier this week I met a 21 year-old girl who is paralyzed from the waist down. I can't go into too much more detail about her and her situation because it has to do with work, but while I spent half of a day with her, I was absolutely so thankful that I am able to walk. This young lady has adapted so well to her situation, but just realizing that she has to sit all day in her chair, without even getting the chance to stand up, stretch her legs, walk, run, squat, jump, etc. really put things in perspective for me. I would say I feel sorry for her, but I doubt she's wanting pity. I would say I'm more amazed at how she has coped. She's very independent and determined, and it showed me that I should stop complaining and whining so much when my foot hurts, or I don't feel like going to the gym, because she'd give ANYTHING to feel and do those things again. I'm glad the Lord put her in my path this week because I've been thinking a lot about her and it's made me realize how blessed I am to have my health and be where I am today. Have you ever come across someone who has opened your eyes like this? I definitely think there's a reason God puts certain people like this in our lives; even for just a moment.

Alrighty, I think that's it for now. I'm sure I had more things to post about, but I can't remember now. Hope everyone has a great weekend and that you get nice weather wherever you may be!!

Weekend Happenings and Doggy Stuff

Thank you for your suggestions on dresses from one of my past posts. I'm kind of leaning toward option two (the black and white one). Next weekend I'll be in SLO to get my hair done (finally!) by my super great hair dresser and there's a Forever 21 there, so I'll stop by it then and try on a few things and hopefully find one I like.

This past weekend was busy, busy! It's not often that Kevin and I are home together on a weekend. It seems like one of us is always out of town, or we're both out of town together. It was nice we were able to spend the weekend together though, and get a lot of stuff done because August is going to be insanely busy for us.

I finished painting the cornhole boards that I've been working on with my brother. I also started on sewing the bags of corn. Side note: if you have no idea what I'm talking about (i.e. cornhole and bags of corn) don't worry, I'll be doing a post about this project a little later; once it's completed. I've really only ever sewn something twice before. Once, I somehow managed to hem a pair of really expensive jeans and they turned out really good. The second time I attempted to make a pair of pajama pants and that so did not turn out good. So after that second attempt I put my sewing machine up in the closet to collect some dust for a while...more like 2 1/2 years! But, I pulled Mr. Brother out last night and managed to whip up a mean set of corn bags for this cornhole game! I was pretty proud of myself. However, it's a good thing that these bags of corn are going to be thrown and not being entered into a sewing contest because I did a sloppy sewing job. Hey! I never said they were perfect! After my successful sewing attempt last night, it makes me want to take some sewing classes now so I can get better.

Other than getting a lot of stuff done around the house, I took a trip to PetSmart and got Kahlua a couple things. One of the things I got her is a life jacket because she will be joining us on the boat this weekend while we're in Donner. This will be the first time she's been on a boat, let alone in a (freezing cold) lake. Since she's so little, I had to get a XX-Small life jacket for her. Is this not the cutest thing!!!???


She was not happy in it - let me tell you what! All she did was stand there looking as uncomfortable as she possibly could. Whatever, it'll keep her from drowning because her little spindly legs are in no form to be doing any doggy paddling.

While we were playing in the office (it's kind of her playroom - all her toys are in there) she started whining at the closet. I opened it and she started going right towards her little black bag.


I got this bag when she was a puppy because she was only 1 pound at the time and I needed something that looked like a purse, because I wasn't allowed to have pets in my apartment at that time, so I kind of had to hide her for the year that I was there. I know, I'm bad. So I got this great bag. It has mesh sides so it allows air in and her to breath and see out both sides and through the top. It also has a little leash you can attach to her collar, and a spot that you can put a miniature water bottle in it (I've never used that though). So anyways, I took it down and she jumped right in! Amazingly enough, she can still fit in it. She wouldn't get out of the thing all night. I'm not one for carrying small dogs in purses (a-la Paris Hilton) but this little bag makes her feel safe and I can definitely tell she remembers it from when she was a puppy. I've left it on the ground in the office and every time I walk by it now I see this!


She's ready to go!!

Recipe – Orzo Pasta Salad

Last week I organized a potluck at work and one of my co-workers brought this in and it was SO GOOD! I had her email me the recipe and I made it this last weekend for Kevin and me and he loved it too. It’s a great cold pasta salad, especially if you live in warm weather.

Ingredients

1 box cooked, room temp orzo pasta

1/2 c. olive oil

1/2 c. toasted pine nuts

1/2 c. lemon juice

2 tsp. lemon zest

2 Tbsp. minced garlic

1 c. golden raisins

1/2 c. chopped fresh basil

1 c. shredded asiago cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate about two hours before serving.

That’s it! A couple side notes:

1) This recipe makes a lot! If you’re just making it for two people, I would suggest cutting the recipe in half, unless you want to eat this as a side dish for every lunch and dinner for a week. Otherwise, it’s the perfect amount if you’re attending a party or something like that.

2) Pine nuts (also known as Pignolias) are not cheap. An 8 ounce bag from Trader Joe’s cost me $8.00! Apparently (as explained to me by the girl at the checkout counter) pine nuts aren’t easy to come by, that’s why they’re so pricey.

Enjoy!

Suggestions please

I need your help. I have a wedding to attend next month and I need to find a dress to wear for it. I have a Forever 21 gift card I have to use, so the dress will have to be from there. Here are my options that I like best, but can't decide. Let me know which one you like best.

I love this color.

I like ruffles :)

I like this one because of the colors and thick straps, but I think it looks a little too much like an apron...

I really love this one, but I'm not sure how tight it is. I guess I'd have to try it on.

I really like this dress because of the ruffles, and brown is one of my favorite colors. Not sure if it'd look too blah though.

Thank you!

I'd just like to say...

That the feeling of putting on a pair of pants that used to be a whole size too small, and not having to take a deep breath before you button them, is AH-MAZING! Happy Friday everyone!

Issues

Umm....it appears I'm having issues with my blog background. Hopefully I'll get it resolved tomorrow. I really want to have someone design my blog but I'd rather save my money for a new iPhone instead. ;)

Most Random

This is probably going to be the most random post I've ever done, but I feel like sharing anyways.

Random Thought #1: I cannot wait for fall to get here. I am really going to go all out with decorating for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. After doing the blog-thing for about a year (come January), I've seen a lot of decorations in other bloggers' homes that have given me good ideas. Plus, I can't wait to wear scarves and pea coats. To be honest, I much prefer Fall and Winter over Spring and Summer. I DO NOT like being hot and sweaty. I'd much rather be warm and cozy :)

Random Thought #2: When my Grandpa Al was in the war many, many years ago (I don't know what country he was in at the time?), there was a church that was on fire. As it was burning he ran into the church and saved a crucifix that had Jesus on it. Because the crucifix was on fire, the bottom portion of Jesus melted (because He was plastic) so there was only the top portion of Jesus down to His waist. When my Grandpa Al passed away when I was little, my dad got to keep this crucifix. Before we started going to church when I was really young, I always thought that Jesus didn't have any legs. I didn't know any better! Once I started going to church and Sunday School, I was amazed that while Jesus was on the cross, He did in fact have two legs! Kind of a morbid story, but I think it's funny :)

Random Thought #3: I have been in such a good mood the past couple weeks! I'm happy and so grateful for my family, friends and the life that I have. I can't remember the last time I was this happy with things. This happiness is a combination of my "happy pills" and also the fact that I've lost 10 pounds, but everything seems to be working. So it's all good! :)

Random Thought #4: I am REALLY bad at geography and history. Kevin makes fun of me about this all the time. Don't ask me where any country is, or to list countries for you, because I couldn't do it. I don't know how I ever passed these subjects in high school!

BTW...thank you for your suggestions from my last post. I think I'll start with waking up at 5am, doing my devotional, then going to the gym. I'll work on my after-work goals once I can get this first goals down pat.

Where does the time go?

Each night as I'm getting ready for bed and getting ready for the next work day I have in mind what I'd like to do. What time I'd ideally like to get up, what I want to get accomplished before I head off to work, what I want to get done during the day while I'm at work, and what I'd like to get completed once I get home from work. BUT....

This NEVER happens! And it drives me crazy. Certain things come up that don't allow me to get to bed at an early time, which in turns makes me not want to get up early enough and the whole day doesn't turn out like I want it to. I know that essentially I have no control over this, and ultimately He does, but still.

So here's my ideal weekday:

1) Wake up at 5am.
2) Do a morning devotional so I can just have some quiet time between myself and God, and just reflect on things.
3) Leave for the gym at 5:30am and work out for 45 minutes.
4) Get ready for work and be at work by 8:30.
5) Get ALL my filing done at work, and start on new projects.
6) Leave work by 5:30, get home at 6:30 and take Kahlua for a walk.
7) Eat dinner at 7:00 and spend some time with Kevin.
8) Either write a blog post, do some homework, work on a crafty project, or get caught up on housework.
9) Start getting ready for bed and the next day around 9:00.
10) Be in bed, with the lights off, at 10pm.

Is that so much to ask??? Well, I guess it is because it never happens. I usually don't get to bed until 11, which means I don't roll out of bed until 7:00, I don't get to work until 9:00, I don't leave work until 6:00 and don't get back home until 7:00 that night, which doesn't leave time to walk the dog, spend time with Kevin, do homework, housework, etc. It's pretty much a vicious cycle. Each Sunday comes around and I tell myself "Okay, you're going to do it this week, Kaysie." And Monday morning comes and again I don't get out of bed in time. Haha!

So I need to figure out a way to get on track with this because I think it will help with having some nice quiet time to myself in the morning and just start my day off the right way and make for less stress by not having enough time to do everything. Suggestions are welcome :)

Busy Bee!

That's what I've been the past few days. Work has been really busy - which is great! Things are really improving with my job and I'm hoping that within the next year or so something exciting will happen. I can't say too much about it though because it's all speculation at this point, but I'm hoping God has these plans in store for me.

I couldn't go to the Salinas Rodeo last weekend because I wasn't able to get the time off work, but my brother visited me last weekend and we worked ALL weekend on building our own cornhole set! It was quite an accomplishment, let me tell you. PTL that he was willing to visit me and help me with this because I would have never been able to operate the jigsaw that was required to build this project by myself. I'll have a separate post at a later date about our cornhole-building experience. If you don't know what cornhole is, you should Google it. It's a really fun outdoor game.

Kevin was in Vegas last weekend for his friend's bachelor party, and it was also Kevin's birthday this past Saturday. So he had quite a weekend. I meant to do a birthday post on Saturday for him, but I just didn't get around to it - so happy birthday babe! I love you! Haha!

This week I'm in the process of painting the cornholes, and I also have my real estate final this week for the class I've been taking. Ick! So I have to really try hard to be good with time management this week. On top of that, I've put together a pot-luck at work for Thursday, so I have to spend time getting ready for that too. Like I said, I've been a busy bee!

In the Catskills, Comfort in a Gingerbread House

When you have the time (because it's a long article) check out the link below. Talk about decorating on a budget! I think the final result is so amazing!

"In the Catskills, Comfort in a Gingerbread House"

Flashback Friday!

This weekend last year my bestest friend, Maygan, came to visit me. We had such a nice, relaxing, girl weekend. We ate A LOT and talked A LOT! It was great. Unfortunately, she's not visiting this weekend, but I will be visiting her again towards the end of next month and I'm so excited. We're going to go dress shopping since she's getting married next year, and I'll also be able to see her new niece (who isn't born yet, but is due any day now)! She's actually kind of my niece too. I'll be known as Auntie KK to her :) So I'm definitely looking forward to next month!

This is an old picture of us in Vegas. We didn't mean to dress the same, but we sure looked cute! ;)

What's also kind of ironic about this weekend is that Maygan's fiance and my boyfriend both share a birthday on this Saturday, the 17th! We like us some Cancer boys! Wait...that sounds really bad. Cancer is their zodiac sign...but you get the point. Ack!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Kawuwah!

The other day I took Kahlua for a walk after work. It was so nice outside and I just needed to be outside after being cooped up in the office all day - and the gym is obviously not outside - so a dog walk it was!

Our house has a couple nice parks nearby, so I took her to one of them, made sure there were no other dogs around, and let her off her leash so she could stretch her tiny legs and run around like crazy. Luckily, she doesn't stray too far from me when she's off her leash. She loves to run circles around me and just goes, and goes and goes!

She was getting pretty tired towards the end and I was just about to hook her leash back on her, when a little girl who was probably two, finally spots Kahlua, jumps off the park swings and makes a bee-line for Kahlua, all while yelling "Puppy! Puppy!" Well, Kahlua is not a fan of small children. If a small child is around she'll just bark at them and cower. I'm not sure if it's because she's not used to someone that small being around her because she's usually only around full-grown adults, but she's not a fan of small people. She'll have to get used to that in the next couple years when we have a little one of our own!

So let me paint a picture of the scenario as the little girl spots Kahlua: Kahlua goes running and barking across the law, the little girl goes running after Kahlua, the little girl's dad goes running after her, and I'm running after all three of them. I was laughing so hard as this was all happening because I could just imagine what this must look like to someone watching this. After a few laps around the grass Kahlua started running towards the street so I yelled her name "Kahlua!" to try and get her back to the grass. As soon as I yelled her name the little girl immediately starts yelling "Kawuwah! Kawuwah!" It was too precious. For one, I couldn't believe how quickly that little girl caught on! And two, she couldn't pronounce her L's yet. LOL!

Kahlua was finally able to make her escape and ran to me and practically crawled up my leg. The little girl soon lost interest once the chase ended, and "Kawuwah" and I headed home.

Usually I'm only worried about other big dogs being around when I take Kahlua for a walk. I guess I need to watch out for toddlers too! ;)

100th Post!

This is my 100th post since I started my blog in January! I really didn't think I'd keep up with it this long, but I'm glad I have :) So in honor of my 100th post I'll list the top 10 reasons I love blogging. It'd probably be more appropriate to list 100 reasons, but in all honesty I don't have more than 10 reasons, let alone 100!

1) I get to document my life and reminisce about things that have happened in the past.

2) It forces me to FINALLY take pictures. I used to be the worst at taking pictures, but I've gotten much better and I'm glad I have visual documentation of things :)

3) I'm able to keep up with what's going on in my friends' lives.

4) I've made some new bloggy-friends :)

5) It's opened me up to so much more that goes on in this world outside of my little bubble. Many people are suffering some tragic things in this world.

6) At the same time, many people are enjoying beautiful things in this world and it's nice to recognize that as well :)

7) I've been able to get back to what I used to love to do in high school - writing!

8) It's allowed me to not be so private. I've always been one to keep my problems and issues to myself, but this has given me a good outlet.

9) My friends that are far away can keep up with me.

10) I hope to keep this up all the way through getting married and having lots of babies and getting to share with you all about that (hopefully not too distant) journey!

Decisions...decisions

Each year my hometown holds the Salinas California Rodeo. I worked at the Rodeo for 5+ years throughout high school and some of college. So I've had my share of Rodeo experiences to last me a lifetime! ;)

This year is the 100th Rodeo! It's a pretty big deal and the whole town seems to be really stoked about it. However, I can't decide if I'm going or not. I know it's the 100th and all, but I've been to so many that they all are about the same, except this year there will be a few more fireworks and probably a special guest or two. I have so much work to get done this week for my job that I won't be able to take off work early on Friday in order to get to Salinas in time for the show that night, so I'm not sure how I would pull that one off. Of course of all times I'm actually busy for once at work, it's during a time I'd like to get away. Ha!

So I don't know what I'm going to do. Based on my explanation in this post it looks as if I'm not going to go. I don't feel like I'm going to miss out on all too much, to be honest. But I will miss my friends terribly, because I know a lot of them are going to be in town. So we'll see...decisions, decisions!

M.I.A.

That's pretty much what I've been the past few days. It's been kind of nice to take a bloggy-break, plus I'm not sure how many actually read my posts, so maybe no one even noticed I was gone! Ha!

Last week was a pretty busy week, but interesting at the same time. I got to work in Sacramento Thursday and Friday from our satellite office. It was nice to get out of SF for a couple days and have the chance to enjoy the great Sacramento weather! The office building I was at was AMAZING! It has a pool! Can you believe that?! So my co-worker, Linda, and I would sit out by the pool each day and have lunch. It was great. It was also so good to get to know Linda. She is a hoot! Since we don't work in the same office, we only get to see each other once a year at our Christmas Luncheon, so it was nice being able to spend time with her.

Over the weekend my main goal was to get as much reading and do as much homework as possible. Well...that didn't happen. As I've mentioned before, I'm pretty much the queen of procrastination and I didn't really get all the things done that I wanted to, but I'm taking this real estate class more for my own knowledge, and not to obtain yet another degree, so I'm not too concerned. I did however find time between reading and homework to make these on Saturday afternoon...

I don't know why, but I was craving them so bad! I don't even like hard-boiled eggs, but I HAD to have deviled eggs ASAP that day. I ate all but two ... don't judge ;)

Speaking of eating, it feels like that's all I did over the weekend. Saturday evening Kevin and I went to the A's game.

I got us tickets for his birthday (which is next Saturday). It was so much fun! The A's played great and beat the Angels. The weather was awesome too.

I ate the typical ball park food and boy is my body not used to all that fried-ness and processed food! I felt so yucky after I ate chicken fingers and fries. Then Sunday morning I wanted to make Kevin a nice birthday breakfast so I whipped up hash browns, eggs, biscuits and gravy, and again my body wasn't happy with me. But the breakfast sure was tasty! Haha!

On another note, WW is still going good. I'm going into my third week now and I'm down six pounds. I haven't really worked out at all except on Friday, but I'm going the rest of this week because my foot finally is better. Yay! So even though I didn't eat great over the weekend, I think I'll still do okay when I weigh-in on Thursday.

Now I'll leave you with this precious picture. It was really hot on Sunday, and when it's hot Kahlua likes to sprawl out. I could just eat her up with a spoon!!

Not Much

Is going on. I don’t have much to post about today, but I’ll give a quick recap of my weekend. I don’t have any pictures of the 4th of July events because I literally didn’t do anything! It was a very low-key weekend with my parents and the extent of my 4th of July fun consisted of me sitting on the couch and watching the neighbors set some fireworks off in our street. Ha! It’s okay though. There will be more 4th of July’s in the future. Kevin also had a low-key 4th, so I don’t feel too lame ;)

One exciting thing that happened on the 4th was that my parents got a new puppy! It’s another Jack Russell Terrier (they already have one, her name is Cleo and she’s seven) and she is as cute as can be! Her name is Hattie (because it looks like she has a little hat on her head) and she is so funny. She has a temper on her though, and gets a little psycho sometimes, but my parents are working on that.

Getting some daddy-love! 

Getting some mommy-love!

Playing with Cleo’s ball.

This morning Kevin and I woke up and found both of the fish dead in the fish tank :( Kevin was really bummed about it. He feels like he killed them because he cleaned their tank last night and once he put them back in they just weren’t doing well. Poor little fish :( I’m glad I didn’t kill them because I have a hard time keeping plants and fish alive.

WW is going really well! At my weigh-in on Thursday I lost FOUR POUNDS! I couldn’t believe I lost four pounds in seven days without any exercise! I was expecting to have lost two pounds, but that far exceeded my expectations. Even the lady who does the computer input stuff was really surprised. I weigh-in again this Thursday, and so far I think I’ve lost another two pounds; so it seems to be working! I haven’t even exercised yet and I’m still losing some weight. Granted, it’s water weight, but it’s still something. I’m definitely learning a lot about portion control. Tonight I only ate half of my dinner which is INCREDIBLY surprising considering potatoes were involved. Potatoes are my FAVE!

I haven’t worked out at all because of my foot. I went and got it x-rayed yesterday and the doctor told me today that there doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with it and the pain should go away soon. *ugh!* So hopefully it does go away soon because I’d like to go for some walks and stuff. Tomorrow I am going to the gym and will be doing the bike, so I should be able to at least do that.

And that’s pretty much it!

Happy Independence Day!

God bless those who are serving and fighting for our country.

Flashback Friday!

One year ago this weekend, Kevin and I headed to Salinas to spend part of the 4th of July weekend with my family. He bought over $60 worth of fireworks paraphernalia at a stand on our way back home that Sunday, and he set some off in the backyard - which scared me a little ;) Ha!

We also went up on our roof and tried to see the fireworks show in the town next to us. We couldn't see much but it was such a beautiful night, and apparently our roof is fairly new because it was nice and clean up there!

*sigh* I still wish I had that long hair! ;)

We've been together for a little over five years and last year was the first 4th of July that we really were able to enjoy together. In 2008 we spent the 4th moving from SLO to Walnut Creek. Boy was that stressful because Kevin was in Chicago for work and he only had that weekend to move us. All the other years before on the 4th, I was out of town with my family on vacation and Kevin would have to stay in SLO because he was a bartender and couldn't get off work (or pass up the great money he'd be making that weekend).

This weekend we will be spending 4th of July apart again :( Boo! I'll be heading to Salinas to spend time with my parents, and Kevin is heading up to his hometown to spend time with his Grandpa because his health is failing pretty quickly. So it will be a quiet 4th of July weekend for both of us this year. We can't complain too much though because we had a great pre-4th of July celebration last weekend!

I hope you all have a great 4th of July weekend and for those of you who work, enjoy your Monday off! And for the SAHM's out there, hopefully your significant other gets Monday off so they can help you with the kids! haha!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
