Kim blogging? No way...

Hello all!!!

It's been approx. forever since I've blogged and I wanted to give you all an update on my life!

I don't normally blog unless something interesting has happened in my life, and since nothing fascinating has happened recently, I decided I just need to write about my boring life.

So...since I last posted...(which btw was June 10)...the following things have happened:

1. My friend Michael came to visit! Which was absolutely amazing. I'm so glad that I still keep in touch with him, since everyone else in my grad program has decided to completely ignore me. (whatever...I don't do the best job keeping in touch with them either...)

2. We went to NYC to visit Brizzle and Oh Henry David Not Thoreau. Jenny and I had a blasty in New York and I want to go back...like tomorrow. Unfortunately I won't have the money to go back until probably next July. The 4S reunion was amazing. I absolutely love spending time with everyone and I am very much looking forward to Thanksgiving.



3. Maggie had a birthday! I went up for bowling and dinner for Maggie's 25th and had a great time! I played as Huebert, in honor of the that song Cambria and I finished for H&P The Musical while in NY.



4. Book Club. We read "The Corrections", which is an amazing book. You all should read it if you get the chance. And after bookclub, Maggie and I went and saw The X-Files movie, which was also good.

5. Work, work, and more work.

6. Eric came to visit Jenny! And I luckily got to see him as well.

7. Colorado! Dani and I went to visit Shannon in CO!



8. Work, work, and more work.

That's about it!

Work has been stressful (to put it gently). A lot of my fun coworkers have left (and the rest that I'm close with will probably be gone by my birthday), which makes going to work painful. But, the students start next week (in fact, today was the first day of Panhellenic Recruitment Counselor training!) so I'm glad to have them back! Our grad took a full time job at USD, which means I am also doing her job currently as well. I was at work until 8pm tonight, the first of many late nights!

I'm looking forward to it being my birthday, because it means that recruitment will be over, and Thanksgiving will only be two months away!

On a personal note: I'm doing Weight Watchers again and I've lost 12 pounds! I'm hoping to keep going! Here's to 10% by November 1! :) (that's my goal)

Miss you all terribly. (Except Jenny, who I see regularly...)

PS. I'm glad that Joe Biden has helped Bri realize that Delaware actually DOES exist.

Doing as I'm told

I worked late tonight (what a shock...as I work late two to three nights a week) and got home around 9:30.

AFter arriving home I made mini calzones (WW recipe- quite tasty), which Carrie and I enjoyed for dinner after she came back from work.

Then we made Muddy Buddies! Which I am going to take to work tomorrow.

Carrie had never made muddy buddies before. Can you believe it?

I was shocked!

As for a small recap of my past week- I had very little sleep as it was Greek Week. It was a success. We raised over $12000 for The Wheelchair Foundation. I'll update you with a final amount in the next few weeks.

Sunday I didn't work (first day in 14 days) and C and I went to the Farmer's Market (I bought fruits and some lilies), a BBQ at Megan and Jessica's, and I went to the supermarket.

On a side note, I believe I have successfully killed my Gerber daisy. I will need to use my Lowe's guarantee and go get a new one.

Also, I broke my phone today.

And talked to Jenny. We are making plans to go to NYC in July this Thursday.

It's alive!

Hey all!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm actually alive. I've been pretty MIA recently, especailly on the blog. Mostly because I don't have much exciting going on in my life.

I've been really busy at work recently. I went to SF for a conference and then straight into Greek Week. I haven't left work on time and had an actual full evening to myself in almost two weeks! AH! The good news- I am getting TONS of comp time! :)

I chatted with Jenny briefly tonight. She's doing okay, she's struggling with her job right now and I'm pretty sure she's checked out and super ready to leave. We'll see how it goes. But...we did chat about NYC!! YAY! I want it to be summer now.

I'm so exhausted, I can't even type anymore.

Stokely OUT.

Some Fun Anagrams

Carrie and I anagramed our names, here are the best one:

Carrie, first & last name: Britannic urge
Carrie, first, middle, & last name: Argentina ice nub jr.

Kim, first & last name: Milky stoke
Kim, full first, middle, & last name: Elementary kinky slob

Haha. That was funny. :)

...it's alive!!!...

Hey! I know I've totally been MIA recently, I suck.

I've just been keeping myself busy with work and such.

A few weeks ago I went up to Jennifer's for her birthday and got to spend some time with Maggie. It was really great seeing her!

Last weekend I went to Florida with my mother to spend some time with my extended family. I don't see them often and it was great being able to spend some time with them. We celebrated my Grandmother's birthday and my Grandparent's 60th anniversary.

For now I am just keeping myself out of trouble.

This weekend I have Phi Sigma Sigma advisor training on Saturday (I am going to be an advisor to one of our chapters in Colorado) and book club at Jennifer's and Steve's on Sunday.

Next weekend Jennifer and I are going to Disneyland! One of our councils is having their retreat there and agreed to bring me and a guest along. I'm really looking forward to it. Briz- I'll let A-Bomb know you said hello.

I don't any more of a real update, as my life is very boring.

Uncomfortable Situations

HELLO!! While sitting around on my mandatory vacation I have decided to give you all an actual update on my life. But first:

Cambria: Hm...thigh high gym socks. That one is tough. You could be a slutty Brady. Haha! That would be hilarious! DO IT!

Back to business-

I've been keeping myself busy, as usual. I think we're finally coming to a slow down at work. That will be really nice. Although I will have some catching up to do on Monday after an entire week away from work. It will be interesting to see how everything is handled with events, etc. after the university being closed for so long. My office looks much like my apartment- in shambles. It was so clean before recruitment and I have yet to get it back into a presentable state. Once I do, I promise to post pictures of my fantastic, beautiful, and wonderful office. :)

This week we had a mandatory vacation (as I have been calling it) because of the fires. It has actually been really nice for me. I have had time to unpack and work on my Halloween costume. I'm going to be Robin Hood. Don't tell any of my SD friends because it's a secret (except from Dani who has helped me with the shopping). But yeah, a nice break from the constant on the go that my life has been for the last three months.

Last Friday I went downtown with Dani. We went dancing at Whiskey Girl. I love that place so much. We had a blast! Of course, it would have been more fun with the 4S there. But, alas. On Saturday I went all out and went downtown again after the football game (go big or go home!)We just went to dinner, but it was fun.

Last night was the strangest going out experience I have had in a while. Dani and I went to Outback Steakhouse (yum) and I had two big ridiculous frozen adult beverages which are totally out of my norm. We decided to head over to Incahoots and Ben and Navi (new friend- learn her name now...haha) joined us. It was fun and totally awkward for a multitude of reasons. Mostly because it was college night and we ran into a million of my students (who calls a thousand of us?). No seriously, I have run into a few students before while out and about on the town, but never ones I work with regularly or so many in one place. Well...both the IFC and Panhel presidents were there (they both claim it was their first time there) and a bunch of other exec board members. It was pretty much the most uncomfortable experience of my life. Especially when they tried to drag me onto the dance floor. AWWWWKWAAARD. Dani and I decided we needed to be drunk to handle the situation- unfortunately she was driving so I quickly became the annoying drunk girl of the group.

But yeah, I've been doing well. I saw Maggie on Sunday which was awesome! We spent some time at the Irvine Spectrum (with Jennifer and Steve- who are getting a puppy!). The winds were crazy! I am sure you all have heard that on the news though.

I have been really appreciating having Dani around a lot more recently. For some reason I have been feeling more and more homesick (mostly for y'all!) and being able to spend time with Dani has really helped. She's a blast! She even got me to join the gym! I'll wait while you catch your breath from the gasping. But seriuosly, it's just really nice to have such an awesome friend around.

I miss you all like crazy. It was so great to see Maggie but it made me want to have everyone together again. :( I see Jenny more and more now which is really nice as well. I miss Carrie like CRAZY because I live down the street from where you lived in SD! I booked my flight to NY for Thanksgiving and I am PUMPED! I even went out and bought a new coat. Oh yeah!

Oh and I went home a few weeks ago for Caroline's wedding. It was gorgeous! Caroline looked beautiful and the weather was perfect!! It was really great to catch up with some people from HS as well. Jenni (marlin no longer her last name) is doing well and her daughter is absolutley adorable. Chris Marcoux is hilarious! Seriously, I don't remember him being so funny in high school. Maybe it was because I drank an entire carafe of wine...hmmm. But yes, if you updates on specific people let me know, I would be more than willing to share.

But mostly my life is boring. Work, work, gym, work. That's pretty much my routine.

Don't be jealous!!!
