1. Bantering with the other Designer Bruce.. he is HILARIOUS and we go back and forth with those cunning remarks and sly jokes.. almost bordering on being rude.. but I think you get what i mean... I LOVE IT!!! And.. I'm sad he's leaving us (he got a job in architecture.. not furniture) so his last day is Friday.. poo!

How bout just question 1 of 3 things 2 things

2. This Saturday.. OH MY GOSH... It's SOO overdue.. I have an appointment at Aveda for Hair Color and Highlights.. Whew! My 2" of roots is testimony of how long it takes to get an appointment with them! (hmmm... then again.. I'm creating no availability...)
3. Friday nite.. Kevin got us FREE movie tickets to the movie "Peaceful Warrior" based on the Dan Millman book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior." Free is good!

Hiety Ho my lovelies!!!

How are you? i'm great! I had a great weekend... got a LOT done... and caught up on my Tivo shows.. so that's good! The weather was beautiful yesterday!!! Blue Skies... it was lovely!!! Ready to start another week.. and the countdown to my move!

ok. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
1. My friend Janet gave me this AWESOME Purple Jewelry Box with the OHM Symbol on top!! I LOVE it!!! Thanks Janet!!!
2. Kevin and I had a REALLY Yummy Brunch yesterday...at Silverado!.. I had AWESOME Breakfast Fajitas!!
3. Going thru my Stuff (Thanks to Naomi's immense help!) and separating TRASH with Donation (Thankfully the Vets Association is coming to do a pickup this Wednesday so I dont' have to drive it anywhere! just leave it on the front stoop!) has been a BIG help! It's amazing how much stuff I've kept just because I thought I might one day use it and I still never have... stuff still in it's boxes..
4. We had a Retirement Party for one of the Salesmen at work on Friday nite.. At first I wasn't excited because it's FRIDAY! and it was only for work people.. no Kevin.. but I had a GREAT time!!
5. I got a WONDERFUL email from my friend Kriss Saturday nite.. THANKS KRISS!!!
6. My dad... surprised me with his presence on Saturday morning.. he came to drop off boxes that my mom had for me.. Wow... I was surprised.. When you get down to it.. I really love my dad... I really do. and Miss him..

2 things I am looking forward to today:
1. Just being at work.. enjoying another day.
2. Putting ALL the trash out by the Curb tonite to get RID of it!
Symbol of Purging to me!

2 long term things I am looking forward to:
1. Ok.. I'm NOT going to get a Land line when I move back to East Glendale Ave.. I found out that I can connect my Tivo Box wirelessly, and going to get a wireless router for my computer.. so I can save money by NOT having a land line.
2. Getting my toes done and then wearing Sandals and not having to THINK of wearing a coat!

1 person I am going to appreciate:
I appreciate Naomi.. she totally helped me go thru my stuff in the basement.. helping me separate things into what's going to donation and what's being thrown away.. that was SUCH a big help!!! I can't even tell you... I have significantly reduced the amount of stuff I'm moving.. and I'm really really grateful for her help!!!

ok.. I honestly feel a little weird (i started with a scratchy throat and cough yesterday around 5pm and now feel a bit nauceous) so I think.. based on how I feel when I get to work.. I might come home and work from home.. this weird body feeling came on quickly.. and I dont' want others to feel this way... We'll see... BUT I'm still going to create a beautiful day!! Even If I AM home!

Love to you all!!

Howdy!

FRIDAY!!!!! YIPPEEEEEE!!!!! I'm glad.. this week seemed kinda long for me.. hmmph. I'm in a great mood today! :) So I'm SO grateful.. something amazing happened yesterday with regard to how I was feeling with the person at work.. Wow.. talk about an answer to a prayer!!! I do not feel as blocked as I had been feeling because I think I got a glimpse of the other perspective.. (i know this is vague.. but let's just say I feel better than yesterday) I'll tell you more if you want to know.. email me..

ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
1. firstly.. IT'S FRIDAY!!!! Fridays have a different feel to them... i know you know what i'm talking about... feels more relaxed.. a smidge slower.. for the most part...
2. In the middle of a 2 hr conference call with all the designers of my company (there are 4 offices) my boss (who's not in my office) says "Kerilyn are you there?" i said "YES! I AM!" and she said "Oh ok..there you are... It's wonderful to hear your voice!" WOW.. what a GREAT boost.. there were like 20 designers on the phone... and she calls ME out! I felt so special!!!! (I really like my boss.. I think she's wonderful! and She likes me too!)
3. OOH.. Loving this other Reggae song by Jah Cure.. called "Rasta Man Chant" or just "Chant" (Side note: I love music.. that has scales in it.(think Ariel in the Little Mermaid) and this song has it!GOOD SONG! (It's on my myspace profile right now)

2 things I'm looking forward to today:
1. Tonite on ABC Nightline... Bob Proctor, one of the teachers in "The Secret" is going to be talking about the Law of Attraction!!! Check it out if you get a chance.!! I'm Tivoing it for SURE!!
2. I have been feeling like I look nice lately (it has to do with wearing contacts and the fact that I'm exercising again) and I have gotten compliments everyday at work about how nice i look.. which is SO nice!! So I'm happy to feel good today.. !! i think I'm goign to wear a skirt today!

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. Going Strawberry Picking on May 19th (Steph.. Check out the Website.. We'll have to "coordinate") anyone else for spending the day with Kevin and I?
2. Sitting on my new couch.. with Kevin sitting next to me... enjoying my new space!!!

1 person I am going to appreciate:
Ok.. not a person.. but I really am thankful for the birdie sounds in the morning.. it is such a wonderful confirmation that spring is here.. and that life is going on outside.. I LOVE It.. I sit there meditating and I hear the songs of all the birds... makes me happy!!!

Ok.. I saw this and it's funny.. so a Friday funny for you..

Why Indeed ...?

21. Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead?
22. Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase?
23. How come abbreviated is such a long word?
24. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
25. Why do they call it a TV set when you only have one?

Hi there my peeps...

What's shakin? THURSDAY!!! Almost there!!! Ok.. i just gotta get this out.... I feel a bit restless the past few days in my head... lots of thoughts going on... and i can tell i'm not feeling 'on track" with regard to creating what I want.. it has to do with someone at work.. how this person triggers my angry and jealous emotions.. and how I can learn to NOT be affected by her.. I take responsibility.. for It is ME creating this dis-chord.. I can tell how different it is when I am in a great place.. and when i'm not focusing on my happiness.. and focusing that does not bring me peace... ok.. thanks for listening.. I had to get that out..

onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
1. I had dinner with my Sparkley friend Roxanne last nite.. I love her.. yea! I love that we sit there and talk about 'The Secret' and how we can use it in our lives!!! ROCKIN!

3.

2 things I'm looking forward to today:

2. Exercising tonite.. also I hope I get to see Kevin tonite. I miss him right now.

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. This weekend I predict that I will have purged and donated a lot of stuff and will have significantly reduced my stuff to move.. that makes me happy!
2. The first nice spring weekend that Kevin and I can go to Carvel for an ice cream cone! (Twist Soft Serve! OH YEA!)

1 person I am going to appreciate:
People who are always working on themselves.. self-aware people... who show the world who they really are.. even in their vulnerablity.. that dont' project or "puff themselves out" (like a bird does) to be someone they're not.. or pretend to not be affected by life.. or pretend to know everything... I totally appreciate people who I can be are being true to themselves.. (Cause I can usually feel it when someone isn't being genuine) Can't you? (Can you tell this is what I've been churning in my brain?)

Ok... I'm off to use these exercises!!! And create an absolutely beautiful day!
Much love to you all,
kerilyn

Hiety Ho my lovelies..

How are you? FRIDAY!!! Ok.. ok.. gotta admit something... yesterday I didn't really have an overall good day.. (poo) There were really awesome aspects of my day.. but for whatever reason (I was feeling really emotional) I wasn't able to bring myself to a Happier higher energy.. overall. Eh.. it happens.. I sit here today.. feeling better but I can still feel residuals from yesterday... I push them off and say I AM SO HAPPY AND GRATEFUL FOR.... and i think of it... I know it primarily had to do with girl time.. that i felt emotional.. but today is a different day .. (Friday AND Payday!)

so without much more Kerilyn ramblings.. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things I am VERY happy about:
1. OH MY GOSH!!! Kevin found a GREAT deal on a 19" Flat Screen Monitor.. and I'm sitting here.. writing my first High/Low to you on my new screen.. WOW! It's AMAZING how much more space I have on my desk.. and.. to boot my desk is happier too.. my former monitor weighs 95 lbs (no joke!) and i saw my desk breath a sigh of relief when Kevin took the monitor off the desk! 19" monitor for $139 bucks (after $70 rebate!) WOO HOO!!! It's so amazing how different.. being on the computer is! I'm trying to donate my old monitor (I know I wrote that I was trying to sell her.. but I think donating her will be the best thing to do.)
2. I was on a call with our installers yesterday about a job I'm doing.. and I hung up the phone and felt really proud that I feel that I enjoy what i do.. and feel i'm actually pretty good at it. I have a really good repor with my clients that i had a meeting with yesterday.. and that makes me very proud of myself. I know for most of you who have been reading for years..the journey of my job has not been straight and smooth.. but I'm really happy to say that I feel like i'm where I'm supposed to be... appreciated and valued.. and that makes me VERY happy!!
3. I'm really happy that I have wonderful friends.. all of you... I got phone calls from my girls Roxanne and Kristy yesterday.. I am so blessed with wonderful friends!!!

2 things I am looking forward to today:
1. I am going to lunch with my friend Lisa (another great friend) that I haven't seen in a LONG time.. going to catch up.... and also going to eat Thai at my favorite Thai Restaurant in Old Town! Mai Thai!
2. I have no idea what Kevin and I are going to do tonite... but I'm excited that it's Friday and I don't have to get up early tomorrow!

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. Purging a LOT of things in this house.. I want to downsize to the BARE minimum... REALLY take a look at my 'stuff" and say.. "Will I REALLY use this? Have I used this?"
2. Buying a new rug, and Sofa and Mirror for my apartment!!!

1 person I am going to appreciate:
Me... I want to share with you a part of something my Auntie Sent me.. It SOOO resonated with me.. and although yesterday I was trying to raise my energy to make myself feel better... this inspiration has helped me SO much.. that i want to share! (It's from the book "Conversations with God") THANK YOU AUNTIE!!!

"To the outer world it may very well appear as if nothing, in fact, has changed. And, in actual fact, nothing may have changed. You may continue to be confronted with the same conditions. Only you will sense the difference. Only you will notice the shift. It will be an experience of your inner world – yet it will begin to affect your outer world as well. And while others may not see a change in your conditions, they will see a change in you. They will wonder about this change. They will marvel at it. And eventually, they will inquire about it.

NDW: What will I tell them?

GOD: Tell them the truth. The truth shall set them free. Tell them that nothing has changed in your outer world. You still have toothaches. You still have bills to pay. You still put your pants on one leg at a time. Tell them that you still face conditions you once described as less than perfect, you still confront all the rough and tumble encounters of life. Tell them that nothing has changed but your Experience."

I really loved this and remember that it's NOT about changing the OUTSIDE world.. it's about shifting the inside world.. and in return.. the outside world will change!!! I can already tell a difference in how i feel from before I wrote this to after!! Yippity Skippity!

ok. gotta boogy to create a BEAUTIFUL Day! Seriously.. writing to you all helps me... So Thank you!
love to you all.. have a great weekend!

AND to support the team! He's cute!
2. I know that I will have everything that i desire in my life.. and as long as I do not focus on what I do NOT have.. I will have more of what I Desire~!!!!

Hi there folks!

How are ya? I'm good... Daylight Savings time.. more sunshine in the evenings... I guess I forget that once the change happens.. it's again dark in the morning when I get up... I like getting up to the sunshine.. I know that by June.. it'll be bright in the mornings again.. I just have to look forward to that!

Had a sister weekend with Kristine.. good times! I love doing errands and just doing whatever with her.. talking and laughing... I made Kevin and Kristine and myself breakfast yesterday morning and then we played 3 games of Ticket To Ride which was fun! Angela moved out on Saturday.. so I cleaned the room out.. put sheets on the bed and opened the door! Wow! Sunday morning the sun shined into that room..made the whole 2nd floor bright!... and it made me so happy!! I'm definitely painting the kitchen of my apartment Yellow again.. it just makes you happier! I went and got my eyes checked yesterday... and am trying out new contacts this week... nice!

ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
1. My auntie sent me excerpts from this awesome book... it made me SO happy to read it! (Thanks Auntie!)
2. Saturday morning I come home.. and see i have a voicemail on my landline.. the message says "Hi Kerilyn Fox.. this is Michael Scofield.. and I want to turn myself in." HA. it took me a second to realize it was my awesome friend Matthew T. I saved it and listened to it yesterday again... (oh.. for those who don't know.. it's from the show "Prison Break") (Matthew and Liz.. busy weekend.. I'll call you this week!)
3. That rug that I saw/found at Macy's (I wrote about it last week).. it was $179.. I called the local store they can order it for the same price.. BUT.. I found the SAME rug online somewher else.. for $129!!! WOO HOO!!! How low can I go???

2 things I'm looking forward to today:
1. Honestly.. I am strangely feeling weird today.... not bad at all.. just 'off'.. so I'm kinda psyched to come home today.
2. Eh... it's ok to have an off day...I'll pass.

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. Saving money every month and watching my Savings account GROW!!!
2. I've had the itch to go swimming lately.. looking forward to the summer when I can go to the town pool!!

1 person I am going to appreciate:
my sister.. I think she is a very strong woman... and I am VERY proud of her that she is setting her life up so she can thrive.. and be fruitful!!!

K... i'm off to create a beautiful day!

Howdy Partners!

Yee haw! Thursday already! Well we got some snow but THANK GOODNESS!!! It did not stick to the roads! I am so grateful for that.. I stayed at work all day and I'm glad I did.. I am much more productive at work than sitting here in my robe. The snow that has accumulated on the grass and tree limbs looks very beautiful.. just the kind of snow I like.. the kind that doesn't interfere with driving!

ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
1. My flowers that Kevin sent me are STILL looking great! I had to take a few out that started wilting.. but all in all.. I am still enjoying them everyday at work! It's so awesome how flowers make your day so much nicer.. more colorful.. and the funny thing is.. the morning that I received the flowers. I bought pink gerber daisies for my desk so i have flowers on 2 areas of my desk!
2. I send (2) surprise gifts to 2 people and I am SO excited to hear how they like them!!! (Wayne and my boss.. just so you know who)
3. OOH.. I found this really cute rug.. ON SALE and I think I'm going to get it for my new space!!! (Check it out!)
*4. My roomie Angela is moving out and in our correspondence.. she wrote something really nice about me.. which made me feel really good. Thanks Ang!

2 things I am looking forward to today:
- Work has been really good.. Bruce, the new designer is SO funny... he's sarcastic in a good way and we already have a great repor.. it makes working in my awesome station even BETTER! I feel very valued at work and that makes me very happy! I am a lucky woman!
- Listening to my awesome Audiobook of 'The Law of Attraction" I listen to it on my IPOD while I work. When I start to not focus on what's being said.. I start it over again..

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
- When I move back to my former apartment. I LOVE during the spring.. with all the windows open.. AH.. Some of my best days were waking up to a beautiful morning in that apartment.. meditating to the sounds of the cicadas and I'm SO excited i'll be moving in when those days will be there!!! Again... your looking at a lucky woman!
- Going Strawberry Picking again this year hopefully!!! Maybe this year we can make it a group event...

Howdy folks!

How's ya doin? I have to make this a quick note.. as something screwy was going on with my AOL acct.. so i've been farting around trying to figure that out and look at the time! I have to get ready for work....

It's supposed to snow here today.. supposedly.. BOO! 2-3 inches "they" say.. we'll see.. the sky surely does look like snow is upon us... I'm going to work but if it starts to come down.. this kerilyn girl is a goin home!

I'm doing great.. I'll just do the first question in 3 things 2 things for today:

3 things that make me happy:
- My friend Stephanie wrote me a great email yesterday saying she can tell i'm really happy!!! That made me even happier feeling that others can feel my overall happiness!
- I made a yummy dinner of garlic and cheese sausages and a 3 big gorgonzola raviolis. YUM!!
- Sitting on my couch last nite... watching new AWESOME episodes of 'Brothers and Sisters' and 'Heroes" WOW.. they were AWESOME!!!

OH NO... i look out the window.. and I see it's snowing!! ARGH!!!!
gotta go... create a non-snowy day in my world! HA!

Ok.. I gotta make this short... gotta be on time for work today.. Staff meeting!

onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
- I am pleasantly surprised that my work load this week isn't as timeline driven as I thought.. which means I can enjoy what I'm doing a bit more
- I GOT MY SHOES ALREADY!!! Yea! I really like them! They are JUST What I have been looking for!!!
- I am listening to this Book on Tape called "The Law of Attraction".. was listening to it for 30 minutes while fast walking in the gym in my building last nite.. it makes SO much sense!!! WE ARE WHAT WE THINK ABOUT!!!

2 things I'm looking forward to today:
- Seeing 'House' tonite - Dave Matthews is going to be on it (and no i don't think he's going to be singing)

- This weekend I'm getting my eyes checked.. going to get new contacts and going to look for new glasses!! (My glasses are from 2001.. time for new look!)

1 person I am going to appreciate:
Ok.. this is totally silly... but I'm hooked in the show 'Prison Break" the storyline this week got me sucked in.. and I TOTALLY want to find out what's going to happen to those brothers!!! WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO NOW???? I appreciate their ingenuity! (Even though it's not real! That's the funny part!)

Silly Kerilyn.. I know..
Ok.. gotta boogy! Off to create a Beautiful Day!
Love you all,
Kerilyn

PS: OH HEY!!! Can you help me figure out this riddle... if so.. will you email me.. ??? i know a few people that would like to know!

3 MEN GO INTO A MOTEL. THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK SAID THE ROOM IS $30, SO EACH MAN PAID $10 AND WENT TO THE ROOM.

A WHILE LATER THE MAN BEHIND THE DESK REALIZED THE ROOM WAS ONLY $25, SO HE SENT THE BELLBOY TO THE 3 GUYS' ROOM WITH $5.

ON THE WAY, THE BELLBOY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SPLIT $5 EVENLY BETWEEN 3 MEN, SO HE GAVE EACH MAN A $1 AND KEPT THE OTHER $2 FOR HIMSELF.

THIS MEANT THAT THE 3 MEN EACH PAID $9 FOR THE ROOM, WHICH IS A TOTAL OF $27, ADD THE $2 THAT THE BELLBOY KEPT = $29.

WHERE IS THE OTHER DOLLAR?

Hi there!

How was your weekend? Mine was good... Did a little bit of this.. and that... little cleaning.. little bit of resting.. and cooking and watching movies...Have a lot on my mind...been feeling a bit restless this weekend.. I'm getting really excited to purge stuff I don't use (there's a lot of it) and move to my new/former apartment.. I'm actually really excited.. it's just me... I love that apartment..with the windows (I LOVE that there is a window RIGHT above my kitchen sink!).. and being in Del Ray. And when I move.. my friend Kristy lives ONE street away...and work is even closer to me.. and I can save money for my future too... I'm very grateful for I have enough money that I can throw away/donate some of my furniture and be able to buy new furniture. I am very excited to "start fresh". And things are different now than they were when I lived there before.. I am excited that I feel on track with regard to my future with Kevin.. and that changes, to me, how I feel about my space.. and going forward with it because it's not just me anymore... and that makes me happy.. Everything... my relationship, my job and my car, my finances.. are TOTALLY different than where I was when I lived in my apartment on East Glendale.. that I'm excited how things will be when I can experience the same space through different eyes...

ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
- Really well made bacon.. I make it in the oven.. and when i time it right.. it comes out perfectly!! oh man yum!
- I bought a pair of black work shoes from ZAPPOS (check em out!) and I am SOOOO excited to receive them (hopefully tomorrow) at work so I can just Put them right on!!!
- Staring at all the things I want to purge/donate in order to downsize my living space! I have a few ideas with regard to how I want to lay out my space.

2 things I am looking forward to today:
1. Morning Oatmeal at work.
2. Just being in my really awesome station! I love it!

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
1. My sister is coming to visit me this upcoming weekend! We're going to have Thai.. and play ticket to ride, and just hang out.. she's going to bring boxes so I can start to pack! yea!
2. Friday nite.. Kevin and I (and whoever else wants to join!!!) are going to this Exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum in DC.. Sounds like fun! (Steph... Scott.. COME ON!!! Come with us!!!)

1 person I am going to appreciate:
I want to appreciate every person who continues to NOT listen to the "tribe" (Society, "they") and listens to your heart!! And furthermore.. for those people who CONTINUALLY use the Law of Attraction.. even if they are surrounded by negative people/situations.. People who are able to shift their thinking IN THE MOMENT, even though they might be in a negative space... That's why I've been restless a bit the past few days, I think... needing to FOCUS being in a happy FEELING.. when I might be surrounded by or are listening to others not being happy. I will say that this past week.. I felt a bit like my feelings shifted from Happy to Frustrated too easily when being continually inundated with negative thoughts... and feelings.. and actions for that matter.. I WILL SUCCEED in being happy and positive.. even though what's around me might not be KNOWING I can create something wonderful in return!!!! And while I know that I have to be the example.. it would be nice if those around me would be RADICAL in their thinking too..it would, I think.. help propel me into greater Happiness!!!

OK.. off to create a beautiful Day!!!
love you all!
