In Transit

Reality. MY REALITY. Slaps me upside the head sometimes. As Reese from Malcolm in the Middle once said "I used to think thoughts; now my thoughts are thinking thoughts.... it's like I think....therefore I.....oh wait... I JUST HAD IT!"

haha However, what is "Epiphan-atic" (epiphany -like for those who don't speak my made up words) for me, may for a reader be a 'well DUH k8,' so feel free to cease reading.

Epiphanies for me are usually in the terms of thinking about life while driving to or from work. Life not in terms of time; I know my life is short, I have never feared the end of it... I know where my heart is and I know who holds me, but more in terms of, the life I always thought i could and SHOULD live. The things I dreamed I would do or accomplish. The woman I wanted and believe i can and should be, the things I feel I need to and am meant to say. I have always thought in the eventually. But good grief Self, I am 22 years old, the eventually has not only started, but has started to pass me up! Time to start living up to my own expectations!But then of course there is facing what that actually means...... taking responsibility for the goals I have set for myself. Hard work. Doubling my work ethic. and OH YEAH. Narrowing down what my goals are exactly... hmmmmm oh reality why must you stifle my dreams??

And for THAT matter who am I to set expectations to begin with? My God's plan for my life is so much bigger than what pathetic little thoughts my brain could ever even HOPE to muster. And how is it I BEG God to use me for greater things, when I can hardly manage to my small tasks acceptably? I always pray I can live each day to his Glory, and I can only KEEP praying that my pathetic attempts even scratch the service of what should be God glorifying actions. I am thankful I serve a forgiving, gracious Lord.

Let Freedom Ring

What an awesome day! I love the 4th of July, Dad's cooking YUM, HOURS of Boggle with my hubby and Cargo Pants. I love fireworks, I think they are the kewlest most romantical summer activity EVER. And for the first tie ever I got to share the experience with my Joseph. Luscious. :-)

"blow a kiss to the judges!"

nothing more comforting than a brand new FULL episode of Toddlers and Tiaras on TLC! Really makes me feel like my parents were the BEST! Those parents are nuts and I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

I also just cramped my hand filing my nails. owe...silly LMT that I am always filing
my nails you would think I'd have it down by now but NOPE not a chance...
Getting a massage this week and can't wait! My shoulder is out in the way it likes to do every few months (supraspinatus) ... Trigger Point work..DELICIOUS

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
I have the best father ever, and feel blessed more than ever to celebrate as God gave him to us for a while longer after that horrific scare in February... PRAISE GOD! I could go on for days about my dad, how proud I am of him, how he's inspired me over the years....how every little thing we DO have in common makes me beam on the inside. ooohh to have a FRACTION of my Father's intelligence as an adult would make me thrilled beyond belief! oh and his sense of humor.. Only in my family... Yesterday I had him cracking up by singing my newest parody song about parents who do not vaccinate their children called "I'm bringing Polio back' sung to the tune of Justin Timberlake's sexy back. wow. only in my family would we find that hilarious. ooh anyway.. I LOVE MY DAD

Frustrated Mess

Annoyed. Had Doc Appointment today, I have had more this year than any other year of my life! Thankfully I love my Naturopaths, it gets $ though. And again today...more blood work, a whole other CBC. grrrrrr. And of course hubby gets frustrated with why they want to follow these little health quirks of mine to begin with; I guess its really not as cynical as it sounds but after work, appointments, clients etc I just feel so weighed down and even more stressed with his comments... and I get more stressed..which is half the problem to begin with!! Kind of funny in the end I guess.

I work with people everyday who are searching for some type of fulfillment, asking me what I believe about 'Zen' peace, Karma, etc....and i hear about their searching, their unrest; their earthly stores that are leaving them nowhere but lonely. And it saddens me. But looking into a mirror I see I have a Savior who loves me more than a non-Christian could ever fathom, and still I choose to be discontent?? What kind of ungrateful sinner am I?

oh Self..... GAAAHHHH GRRRRRR GAAAAHHHHH

can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky...blahblah blah

Watching Suze Orman with the husband. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW. She is like Dr. Laura only not a TOTAL .... Mean lady...

blogeeeeeeeeblog

This week has been nuts with house crazies! Had a fun weekend though and hopefully will make today productive and my work-week transition smooooooothhhh.

I did have a confrontation with a HORRIBLY rude person this week. I was astounded at the disrespect and means at which she addressed me, snarling questions because I sounded 'too young' and 'inexperienced' to be of any use to her, the funny part was she ended up scheduling an appointment with me and at the end our conversation SWITCHED tones completely with a sweet "alright Katelyn thank you so very much have a great day!" I probably stood with my mouth hanging open.... ?? Maybe I won that round...
people are fun.

Maybe some day for at least 1 month, I should work in a job that doesn't deal with people! haha nah i would never last... but people can be EXHAUSTING!!

Still plugging through my orthopedic certification. slowly slowly...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmy Mondays! Joseph is off too, what to accomplish? We already conquered lazing in bed until 10, facebooking, searching for free downloads of Bridezilla, and talked about talking to hte Verizon people today. ahhhh already productive :-)
