Friday's Letters

Dear Having a beer solo, You're something I won't get used to. I did some shopping and decided to stop in Bar Louie and have a Raging Bitch IPA on draft...


Dear Dude I was talking to, I'm very glad that while you were away for the weekend you found a girlfriend. I'm glad you felt that it wasn't fair to her that you were seeing me. I'm also glad that one of your best friends filled me in on all the details. You said to them that I was very "kind" in my response (which was "No problem. Best of luck.") I was actually speechless. Apparently being 10 years older than me doesn't make you anymore of a man.

 Dear Glass, Listen we've had a really bad relationship once before. I'm terrified of you..

So last night while at work when I was stabbed with you once again, I was freaked out that I'd find myself back in the emergency room. Which is terrifying after the first time when I had stitches done over an hour after the numbing shots. However, 3 bandaids later I wasn't bleeding. Then this morning while cleaning out the cut I found a piece of you still stuck in my finger. Not cool.

 Dear Dude friends, Some of you annoy the crap out of me. Some of you get mad when I'm not interested in being more than just one of the dudes. However, eventually most of you come around and want to sort things out over an IPA and I remember how much I love my dude friends.

 Dear Knee, You've been numb for almost a month. I've been freaked out. Then I was even more freaked out when one of my co-workers said it could be a blood clot. Which would explain my exhaustion and everything else. Let's pray it's just numb for no reason.

 Dear Me, I'm so proud of who you've become. You don't let people walk all over you. You're able to confront people and hold your own. And as much as I hate to admit it, your looks work in your favor many times. New beginnings are coming your way.

 Dear Readers, How do you guys stick around?! I absolutely love all of you. You're all so amazing. 

 Dear Patio, It's just you and me tonight.. unless I decide to go out. However, you're a bad influence and I think going out won't be a great choice. 

 Dear Parents, Happy 16 happy years of being married!!! Glad you're having a great dinner! 



Linking up with Ashley for Friday's Letters.

    Girl get your knee checked please! As a nursing student, I am well aware that numbness lasting that long is not necessarily normal! If you are active too, such as running or stretching, that could dislodge it and cause even bigger problems! Get it checked out girlfrienddd!

    Xo, Kelsey

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
