haven't blogged in a while. there really hasn't been much to say though. Life is just going on. same thing day in and day out. I looked forward to the days that I can see my nephew. I love that little boy to pieces. but other than that, nothing. wake up, work, sleep, rinse and repeat. i don't really mind this routine too much only because work doesn't seem like work. i enjoy my job greatly. just wish i would get that raise. that would make things a bit easier. anywho.
the real reason for blogging. things on my mind. no one reads this anymore so it doesn't matter what i put on here. i'm feeling out of place. like no one cares. no i'm not depressed. it just seems like no one actually listens when i talk. i do get a bit extreme with some of my interests, but i feel that when someone talks to me about their interests i give them my undivided attention. i just get the "uh huh" "oh" or the worst just changing the subject. i have voiced my feelings to my mother, father and what few friends i do have, but no one seems to care. my mom says she listens, but she really doesn't. now i'm not saying i want someone to jump up and down and throw confetti. but when i say that i'm excited for something, especially like finding something to do with the rest of my life, i want people to be excited for me. not to just smile and nod and walk away. i don't know anymore. this is encouraging to me that they believe in me. part of me says that i shouldn't care. but i do. i dont know what to do.... |

haven't had a whole lot of time to blog lately. between my adorable little nephew and work, time is flying by. only a couple weeks until i see everyone from college at Megan's wedding. I'm really looking forward to that! my vacation is 5 months away, and work is awesome.
speaking of work, my boss approached me yesterday. I was talking about how i wanted to go back to school but i can't afford to decrease my hours, that if at all id have to find a second job and then go to school. well he kinda had an idea. "you should shooting weddings." my jaw dropped. shoot weddings? i dont know if that's a good idea. i honestly don't know how to operate a camera on manual settings, not to mention poses and what not to shoot. it could however increase my paychecks almost 600 a paycheck! the money is awesome but do i want to give up my weekends? do i want to invest at least 2-3k on gear? do i really want to shoot weddings? i love taking pictures, but weddings?! i threw the idea at my ma and all she said was think about it. thanks mom for the advice. tell me something i didnt already know. of course my boss said he'd train and teach me on all photography techniques and then start on small stuff first like portrait sittings and engagement sessions. and then if i wanted to do the weddings i'd go on at least 5 weddings with another experienced photographer so they can show me the ropes. i'm thinking that this could open TONS of doors for me too. i always wanted to shoot sports, weather and concerts. even thought about opening my own studio at one point. i know that's very ambitious. i'm scared but i'm also excited. i havent made any decision yet. really gotta think about this |

i have become a very VERY proud auntie! little austin was born april 2 at 1:55 in the afternoon weighing in at 7 lbs and 7oz and 100% healthy. i'm so incredibly proud of my sister for being so strong. i feel like this baby was brought into our lives for so many reasons, some i don't even know why yet, but i know one thing. Because of this baby, me and my sister have become MUCH closer. we're still working on somethings (like the way she likes to talk down to me) but we have an appreciation for each other. anways back to baby! he is serious THE CUTEST baby ever! and he's so strong. he's already lifting his head up on his own! and he's my little buddy. i'm officially Auntie K (only K cuz theres no way when he gets older that he'll be able to say Kristen). Tomorrow is going to be the first day that i've had been away from him since he was born. I miss the little guy already. Can't wait to see him again on Saturday. |

Baby shower was on Sunday. Decent turn out for my sister. Tons of clothes, blankets and bibs.. but no bottles, binkies, or toys! how do you not get a bottles at a baby shower?! anywho.. kinda irritated with my sister. She wasn't very enthusiastic about the day and didnt mingle with her guests that showed up. Pisses me off. Ugh. I didnt even get a fuckin thank you. i would have been perfectly content with that. no hug no nothing. I'm too nice to her sometimes.
Moving on... BIG NEWS! I've booked my vacation for the year! December 6-14, I'll be flying into Miami for two days then getting on a cruise ship for the 1st EVER Backstreet Boys cruise!! Stops are in Key West and Cozumel. One of my close friends from jr high/elementary school contacted me and asked me if i was interested in going. I was hesitant at first because i was planning on going storm chasing next spring but then i thought. I've been a BSB fan for how long? almost 14 years! ..god that makes me feel incredibly old. The cruise includes a Backstreet Concert. Photo opps ( I'm FINALLY going to meet Nick Carter!! ::fangirl scream!!!::) Cocktail parties Deck Party, and a few other backstreet boy events. It's going to cost me a pretty penny but i couldn't say no to this. |

march has finally come...
probably expecting some big exciting post.. but nope.. its just March.. sure theres a few movies coming out and one concert:100 Monkeys concert, Alice in Wonderland, Remember Me, and the Runaways ..OH and New Moon comes out on DVD on the 20th! ok.. so that gives me something to do on the weekends.
My sister's baby shower is next weekend. Which i apparently throwing with her boyfriend's mom. But i feel as if i have no control over this. And when it comes to throwing parties, I'm OCD and it has to be PERFECT. I'm having a slight panic attack over this.
My sister is due in about a month! Still no name has been picked out but they're leaning towards Austin or Jackson. I'll kill them if they pick Jackson, since thats the name i told her i would name my first boy. Of course she's doing this just to piss me off... the little shit. It's crazy and sorta alien-like when the baby moves inside of her. It's like shit out of a SciFi movie.. creepy shit.
I'm anxious for April to come. Not just for the baby but another VERY EXCITING event is happening! 30 SECONDS TO MARS ARE COMING BACK TO CHICAGO! Of course i got my ticket. But theres something very special about this ticket. It's not just any ordinary ticket..no. IT'S FUCKING VIP! Which means, of course, i get to see the show. GA ticket which is fine with me. First chance at barrier...again! Pre-Concert Party! Not entirely sure what that means but apparently they feed and get us drunk. I'm ok with this. Meet and Greet BACKSTAGE! I'll get to meet the guys AGAIN this time!! Photos with the band too! I cant wait to see that picture!! We get a cool little goodie bag too.. better be some good shit in there too. We also get the phone number of a host. So basically with that number we can call this person at anytime if we need something or we want to locate where the band is at or any other extra details! VIP INDEED! Not to mention I'm going with a bunch of the girls i met at the show back in December. We're all going to meet up and spend the evening together and then find the band after the show. I'm expecting a pretty fantastic night!
Other than that.. lame days have come and gone.. and will continue to until all these exciting events happen. |
