There are no words that can describe the pain in my heart. My sweet nerdy cousin, a avid Vikings & Star Wars fan.....my Football Sunday partner....I remember you as a infant in my aunt's arm & as you got older our bound grew over the love of football. There is now a whole in my heart that will forever miss you....I have comfort in knowing that I have so many great Football Sunday memories, memories of every kind with you.....My lil cousin who acted tough but on the inside was gentle......I know you'll always be by my side every Sunday...I'll keep our Football Sunday Tradition alive until we meet again......I'll love you always Pooka

Admirer.

I had something interesting happen to me at work on Friday. I received a gift from A Cottage Florist. Someone actually had them deliver a single rose & white teddy bear to me at work. I really was taken by surprise! I had no idea when the guy came that it was for me! i just heard him ask for Stephanie & i was like wait what?! It was really so sweet! The only thing is I have no idea who sent it! Yes, I received a card...

See the question mark =/ I don't even know who it's from! I mean I have a few people in mind, but unless that person fesses up I won't ever really know! Part of me wants to know & part of me doesn't lol! I know that seems weird but I don't wanna know & have to hurt the guys feelings! It really is sweet tho! I love the teddy bear! I named him Snowball since he is so white! SO the question is will the mystery person reveal himself or no???

XOXO,

Drake - Doing It Wrong


‎"We live in a generation of not being in love, and not being together
But we sure make it feel like we're together
Because we're scared to see each other with somebody else"

Company Property.

I never really have many complaints about my job, and this post isn't really a compliant. It's more of a "vent" post. It seems from day 1 at Grocer's I have become "property." I bet your thinking what the hell do you mean by that. I mean that I can no longer do anything while I'm at work or even talk to drivers without news getting around. News about me even travels to Houston drivers! They literally come inside the office for a total of like 10 minutes. But yet they are each called to be told the latest news.

I know you want examples, right? I don't blame you I would too lol! My first example is back from the first week i started working at Grocers. One of our drivers forewarned every Houston driver that came thru not to talk to me, because I was "his." Wth right?! It also came to my attention that when I first started there after the first day news of me had already traveled to every driver even the ones I don't see(PM drivers). See how my 'coworkers" are possessive!

My second example is that I frequently go to lunch with the mechanic at work. He's a older guy who is older then my grandpa! Yet he gets picked on by a few of the drivers about going with me to lunch. How insane is that?! He's a old dude, seriously! Plus he knows that nothing would happen between us! I just think he's a cool guy that's it! i don't go to lunch with him as often and not because of the other guys, but because I was putting on some weight eating out all the time. Not good at all.

My last example of their jealousy/possessiveness is that I can't even talk to any one of them a lot. Once they notice that I talk to one person a lot they start picking on them and telling them they are bugging me & to leave me alone! Such bullies! Now all of these things I never even knew about until later. Slowly certain guys would tell me what was going on, but not who were the ones doing these things. But recently I started witnessing it myself. Today I was talking to a driver that I enjoy talking to & one of the dispatchers literally tried shooing him out & telling him to leave. I was like wow really? Unfortunately it is reality lol.

Oh & today left work for a bit to run an errand with Cheryl, my coworker, and apparently a Houston driver didn't see me so he called a fellow Houston driver told him I wasn't there. Now that is hilarious! Now they are keeping attendance on me! When will this madness stop?! I don't see how they can act that way when I'm not anyone of their wives/girlfriends! Damn crazy men. Yes I said it!

XOXO,

K.

I had a request for this blog post lol. What I haven't really shared is that once upon a time I was engaged. Yes I know lucky guy huh?! LOL. I showed him my blog & he was offended that I didn't mention him in any post especially one's that were inspired by him! Your probably thinking, "wth you showed your ex fiancee your blog?!" Yes I did! I'm comfortable enough with him to let him read anything & everything I have posted thus far. We're cool like that.

He 7 I were together for almost 3 years. The LONGEST years of my life! Nah I'm just kidding. They were actually really great. I have A LOT of wonderful memories from our time together. Seriously if I got started talking about everything it would take numerous blog post. Seriously no one would wanna read anything. What I do wanna share is 1 or 2 nice moments we shared & how much our relationship changed me as a person. I know he's readying this & thinking "oh hell." Don't worry K it won't be as bad as you think! :)

First let me start by saying I knew him since high school but to be honest I didn't like him lol. Everyone always gets a good laugh about that. However we did go to a Mac Homecoming together! Unfortunately all of the pics from that night are blurry! I remember it was rainy and cold. We went to eat at Olive Garden then went to see Jack Ass. LMAO. You know what I won't every forget?! That he was my date but didn't even compliment me first! One of our other friends did then he did! And don't try to argue with me Kendrin! You know its true!

Kendrin & I didn't get together until after high school. About 2 years went buy whenever we got back in touch with each other thanks to Myspace! He was in Iraq when we started talking just as friends. He was in a completely different time in his life at the time. Obviously he came home & we ended up going to the movies together. Worst mistake ever! If I woulda known.......lol jk. I wish I could remember the movie we saw but I do remember going to eat at Taco Cabana! Lol. Honestly after that night on we were always together. At least until he had to go back t California. It's kinda crazy how everything developed now that I think about it.

You know what really made my parents mad at the both of us? I went to visit him one weekend in December to go to the Military Ball & never came back. Like literally I was like f it I'm staying here with you. My parent's were more than upset/pissed. I did come home for the holidays tho! & packed up my stuff and relocated! Everyone always thinks that was so crazy, but hey the things we do for love! When I first lived there it was horrible because I was so homesick! I cried all the time lol! I'm sure you remember Kendrin!

The one thing that was so wonderful was that we were always so in love. Our friends always told us that eventually it would wear off but honestly it never really did. They were just jealous because they weren't like us! This might be TMI but I always loved that we showered together. It was out couple thing. I remember how he wouldn't be able to go to sleep unless I was laying next to him. At the time that was so annoying & i would lay there till he fell asleep then get up & play on the computer lol. Now that I think about it, it was probably one of the sweetest things ever.

Other great memories I have is when we went to Disneyland before he deployed to Iraq. Great time! Really a place everyone should go! Even tho we didn't do so much there it was so cool! I got the Minnie ears that you must get if you go! Oh and the Bugs Life ride thing was amazing! I still remember that trip like it was yesterday! I know you don't K! Okay you probably do! I think for me the greatest moment was when he came back from Iraq safe & chunky lol! He looked so good with the weight on him! He's naturally tall and lanky so all those MRE's did his body good lol.

I'm not gonna lie those 7 months went by fast for me. Probably because I was busy working so I had that on my mind as well. I never really worried much either which sounds weird I know. The reason is that I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to him practically everyday! Thank you satellite phones! Yea you dropped our calls a lot but you got the job done! I remember when Kendrin came home it was late at night & it was freaking cold! My bff drove me from Oceanside to 29 Palms & waited with me. Awww such good memories. Kendrin actually came home on my birthday. So perfect I know!!

Seriously I could go on and on and on! Don't get me started on pics either lol! This won't be my last post about him. Too many memories, experiences, lessons to just sum it all in one post or even any post. There is something I do wanna say. Regardless of what happened between us or what will happen I will always love him. We went thru alot & I experienced so much that there is no way I can't think about him & not smile. For that, thank you Kendrin. Thank you for more than you will ever know.



XOXO,

Employee Of The Month.

You read that headline right. I am the Employee of the Month at my staffing agency. I had a voice mail on my phone saying I was chosen, because of my perfect attendance & punctuality. What did I receive you ask! A plaque & a $25 Visa gift card. The plaque is actually really nice I might add. I won't be hanging it up lol but I will be keeping it! Now the funny part. I was looking over my gift card & on the front it says, "No Fees After purchase." Then you turn it over & it says, 'A $3.95 Activation Fee Will Apply." LMFAO WTH?! So basically I only got a gift card for $21.05. Oh well lol. I'm gonna use it for gas instead of buying junk.

Lesson I learned today: It pays off to be a good worker lol Even tho I got jilted in the end, no hard feelings :)

XOXO,

Share Sunday.


I HATE mushrooms! They taste like dirt! The only way I can eat them is if there chopped into tiny pieces and covered in sauce or mixed into something else!
