What a fabulous day!!

My new niece   Natalie Rian was born on 12/16/08 via C-section.  She was 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 19 inches long.  Mom and Niece are doing well and will be released from the hospital on friday!!  I'm so over joyed with love and anticipation of meeting this new life!!  Xoxoxoxo

Sorry I"m a Slacker....

So it's been awhile since my last post and for those following I appologize.  So let's see what has happened.  

I finally got to go home for a bit for Thanksgiving.  I went down to Salem with a friend and spent time down there playing card and doing puzzles with old people.  LOL  It was actually lots of fun. 

I got to take my niece to the movies and catch up with her.  She is growing so fast and independent. My sister is STILL pregnant. She is not happy that the baby won't come out already. HAHAHA Poor thing....  Hopefully she has the baby on my day off!!  Is that selfish of me?

So things that I was very thankfull for this year.  Hmmm.......  Lots....

My friend stopped suffering from Cancer and went home to God.  My sister got married and pregnant. My other sister graduated from highschool.  I got laid of at a job that i hated.  I moved to Seattle and got an awesome job.  My best friend moved to Seattle!  Two of my friends are having multiples  and are due within 4 days of each other.  Another one of my friends just got married.  I have reconnected with many friends that I lost throughout the years.  I have met a wonderful person who makes me giddy and makes my jaw hurt from smiling soo much.  The list goes on and on.

I went to a great concert two weeks ago.  It was Brandie Carlisle and she played with the Seattle Symphony,  It was soo good.  We had great seats (5th row).   I went on a date with my special and when we got to the resturant there were roses sitting at the table waiting for me.  I almost started crying it was amazing...  Then we went to see Marvin Hamlish at the Symphony...

Other than that,  I have kinda injured my shoulders again while lifting and my knees are starting to act up.  I swear i'm not really 31 but more like 70.  ugh!!    

I will try to get better again and update more frequently... no excuses!! 

Little Blessings

Do you ever stop some days and just take a moment to reflect.. 

Today has been one of those days for me.  I realized that I have a pretty great life and that there are little blessings everywhere.  

Like for instance I had a great workout this morning and when i went to my car there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting in my drivers seat from my honey!! (for no reason at all)  YAY...   

Then I went to Walmart to get some stuff and I told the greeter to have a good day.  He stopped and looked at me and then said  "Thanks soo much"  and had a big smile on his face.   I realized he probably doesn't get told that much which is soo sad.   

Two of my friends are pregnant with multiples and they are doing well, due in April 4 days apart from each other

And this past weekend I watched some of my co-workers run a 5k obstacle course for Leukemia.  I made them a poster and cheered them on and they were so happy I came. 

Lastly, My co-worker told me how much she enjoys working with me and that she is so happy to come to work when I'm there.

It truly is the little things in life that make it so great and make us so blessed!!

Stop the Presses!!

Today was a new and great experience for me.  

As today is Sunday.... I'll give you one guess as to what I did today........ tick tock tick tock... 

 Yes that's right!!  Kirsty Lyn went to church today!!!  

And I'm glad to report there were no lightening strikes or pitch forks.  LOL   My wonderful friend invited me to go and I actually had a great time.  We sang a ton!!  That was awesome..  Especially since you all know i'm training for American Idol next year.  hahaha ..........yeah right! 

This place was really cool. The Pastor almost made me cry and the congregation was very open, young and multi-cultural.  

I think I might just go back!  

Proud to be an American!!

I am so overjoyed to be an American tonight!  Watching Obama become the next president fills me with hope and pride!! 

Some People........ Rants from a Pissed off Woman!!

So I have known this guy since April and let me tell you what a Jerk!!  He is seriously someone that you meet think they might be cool and then Wammo!!  CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!!  ...........

We started out as "just friends" because he didn't feel a connection with me.  That was cool with me.  Over the next couple weeks we became close and started to see each other but nothing serious or exclusive. After a month of that I suggested that we make it official and his response was " I guess so, but this doesn't mean I love you are anything"  LOL   Hello should have been my RED flag.  But no,  I only think with my heart and not my head.   (i know...... wtf  Kirsty!!)   So we did the serious thing for about two weeks or so and then I got the news about losing my job and the fact that I might be moving out of state for a new one.  So he breaks up with me.. Cool........ I tell him that's cool, because for the last month he's been telling me he doesn't see a long term future with us!   Ok no problem.......   So I said let's just go back to seeing each other casually.  I get the job in Seattle and he tells me to go and not worry about him or anything.  SO that is what I do.   And wouldn't you know it, not even a week goes by and he tells me he is in love with me and can't live with out me and that if I want to quit my new job and move home. I can live with him.  He thinks I would be a great wife and mother ( I DON"T WANT KIDS!!!!!)  

So I tell him that this is too much and I have too much going on to think about this and to back off a little and give me space.  Every time I'm talking to him he is on the verge of crying and telling me how much he loves me.  Whatever, you only think that cause I'm gone now.   JESUS!!!  I finally tell him that I can't do this and that we need to just be friends.  He says that is fine and he looks forward to that,  but of course  I get emails about me moving home and quitting my job or him moving up here so we can be together.   WTF,  you didn't see a future with me!!  I"m done.  DONE DONE DONE....... 

That's all I have to say.......LOL  (Sorry for the Rant)
