    Happy Last Day of the Month!!

    Hey! How was your weekend.. mine was.. well.. not as I expected but that's what life is all about... sadly.. Kevins kitty Phenelope (that's pronounced 'fenelope') had severe liver damage and he had to make the very tough decision to put his little girl down... I really don't know what else to say..she's been in his life for 11 years... it had to be the toughest thing one person can do besides anything involving their children.. and our pets become like our children.. so it feels like the same thing.. I wish I knew what to say to make him feel better.. but I know he has to go thru the grieving process as it happens.. Whew.. feeling the experience for Kevin made me feel so whew..emotional when thinking about my Pez girl... sigh..

    Let's just say it was a very emotional weekend from start to finish... starting with the mishap with my eyebrow which.. I feel a little better about..

    ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. YEA! My place is really coming together and I am really really really liking the way it feels..!! I dance little happy dances when I walk around... seeing it all come together.. the curtains... the little kitchen baskets and circle mirror mobile that Kevin hung for me this weekend (thanks honey) and as of last nite I made headway into my bedroom... and can actually walk around now.. !!!
    2. MY GIRL DAVINA HAD A LITTLE GIRL!!! wow.. so amazing.. Saturday nite.. Her name is Tai Dalane Gillum... YEA!!! Congratulations Davina... I can't wait to meet her.. and to see how Davina is doing!!!
    3. After MANY hours talking to the people from Tivo.. going to Best Buy and buying all this stuff that I was told was going to be the connection the Tivo Box makes to get updated programming... My TIVO IS WORKING!!! AND... I came to find out that I can use my internet phone to make the call to get the programming (Tivo originally said it wouldn't work!! BUT IT DID!!) if you don't understand this.. that's ok... just know ITS WORKING and i can return the 70 dollars worth of parts I thought was going to make it work! YEA! SO... I can go to Iowa and it will tape all my shows.. no problem!

    2 things I am looking forward to today:
    1. Seeing if I will be getting the Drawing to the 80+station job that i'm soon to work on.. I am excited to get a job that I can work on for over a week. (up to this point i've had smaller jobs.. this will be my first big one) AND... I was told on Friday that we won the bid for a 180 station job that i started! SO.. I'll be a busy bee when I get back from Iowa and that is FINE with me!
    2. 82 Degrees today!!! WOO HOO!! I think this calls for eating lunch outside!!!

    2 long term things I am looking forward to:
    1. Maybe putting up Flower boxes in my windows again?
    2. I'm excited about going to Savannah for Memorial Day.. getting out of Dodge..

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    Kevin... again. I know that when the day comes that Pez leaves me physically... I will be a mess (ok just thinking of it makes me cry.. right now) that I am proud of Kevin for accepting his feelings of sadness.. but being ok with the fact the she had a long life.. It takes strength...

    Ok.. I really do have to boogy...
    Love to you all..... This upcoming Saturday Kevin and I leave for IOWA for a week!! EEK!!!
    I'm nervous!

    Mornin...

    How are you? I'm alright... I am SO VERY READY for the weekend ... I SOO much need a day where I can wake up whenever... this has been an interesting week.... and without focusing too much on what might be misaligned in my life.. let's focus on the good...

    onto 3 things 2 things :

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. It's Friday
    2. It's Payday
    3. I just got a comment on my blog yesterday from an author who is writing a book about fathers and daughters and I think I am going to submit a story... maybe about when my dad flew down to Savannah a whim because I wanted him to be my date for Opening Night for the new school Theater where Tony Bennett was performing.. it was AWESOME!!!
    4. I like my outfit today.
    5. I REALLY like how my new pieces of art are going with my sofa/rug..they make me REALLY HAPPY!!!

    2 things I am looking forward to today:
    1. Going home. Washing all my sheets and towels that my mom used to pack my dishes in.. (I like clean pristine sheets/towels.. My linen closet I like neat and tidy.. and wrinkly towels/sheets will not do. HA!
    2. Unpacking some more... maybe going to get my microwave..

    2 long term things I am looking forward to:
    1. Ok.. I'm telling you this but I do NOT want to focus on the negative.. but last nite.. the girl who does my nails.. waxed my eyebrows. and totally took off WAY too much off one eyebrow.. and so... I look forward to my eyebrow growing in... (TRUST ME...I'm doing everything I can to focus on the positive.. that I have hair.. that I am healthy.. so this is nothing in comparison.. but I was FREAKING OUT! when I saw it.. Thank god for a little eyebrow pencil..)
    2. Putting up the Curtains.. getting my bedroom unpacked.. going to Target this weekend to get supplies... for storage.. I want to spend a bit of time this weekend making my space feel more me...

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    Again.. Me.. When I saw my eyebrow.. I wanted to cry right there.. but I held on.. and tried making the woman who I see regularly NOT freak out.. cause she felt SOOO upset... I cried and cried in my car.. (I was in shock..) but I did a good job making her laugh.. telling her not to worry...that I dont' hate her... She even called me later that nite to check on me... I'm going to see her today (i totally messed up my nails while walking out crying..)

    SO... WE ARE GOING TO LAUGH ABOUT IT....cause it really is funny..!!! HAA HA HAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! And... in just a few weeks this will be over and I will be even more apprecitive of what I have...

    Ok... Is it 5 o'clock yet?
    Love you all.. Have a good weekend!
    :) Kerilyn

    Morning!

    How are you? I'm good... It's Thursday and again I have to say.. I SOO wish it was Friday.. this has been a long week for me.. a good week for the most part.. but long.. I feel like i need to sleep.. and I am hoping to catch up this weekend cause ya know what??? NEXT weekend Kevin and I leave for Iowa.. yep.. time has flown by... and it's upon us... I gotta get more unpacked this weekend so I can feel like I can go on vacation and come back to an apartment that is ready for living in..(and an apartment that my kitty girl can come back to - Shes at my parents house) I don't feel that way as of today... This morning I have a meeting so I have a little more time to fart around than usual.. :)

    ok.. what the hay.. onto 3 things 2 things:

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. Yesterday was my dads birthday... well HE CALLED ME and he asked me if Kevin and I wanted to go to an Orioles game today! That made me feel REALLY GOOD!!! I love hanging out with my dad when he's happy...
    2. It makes me really happy how my living room is coming together.. The new Sofa.. my new End Tables/Coffee Table.. the AWESOME Rug.. and the new pieces of art look AWESOME!!!Since I threw out my other Sofas.. and only have 1 sofa.. I feel like i need a Lounge Chair to fill in the space.... but that will come in time..
    3. Last nite... on a whim I called my girl Kristy to see if she wanted to keep me company while going to the grocery store.. so I picked her up and we went.. then we came back to my apt.. and i made dinner... I LOVE that she lives only a BLOCK AWAY!! AWESOME!

    2 things that I am looking forward to today:
    1. Everything going smoothly and Kevin, my dad and I sitting at Camden Yards watching the Orioles play the Boston Red Sox.
    2. Getting this meeting over with this morning (I'm really not in the mood to meet with people today)

    2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
    1. Bringing my Pez girl home..... I am missing my furry girl a lot.
    2. I am looking forward to Friday at 5PM when I can leave work.. and go do WHATEVER I want (which will be unpacking/doing laundry/etc)

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    Me. I know I said this yesterday but i'm amazed and kinda proud how rational I feel about what I want for my life... The Kerilyn from years past would be freaking out about what I want.. fearing being alone.. being out of control... or the unknown.. and right now.. I feel really at peace...

    Yawn... U know when your tired (exhausted even) and your body just feels heavier... your head.. sitting up straight?? Yea.. that's how I am feeling today.. (SNAP OUT OF IT! you tell me!!! I know...)

    ok.. gotta get ready to leave for meeting.. have a great day!
    love to you all.

    Hey there peeps in the jeeps...

    How are you? It's Wednesday.. Gosh I wish it was Friday..I REALLY could use a nice long nite sleep... I feel totally pooped again today... Feel like my mind and my body are on GO GO GO! mode all day long (meh.. to tell you the truth I'm really doing well emotionally.. I feel grounded and happy for the most part) It's just the ins and outs of unpacking... not being settled (uh my bedroom is a bed, my computer desk and LOTS of boxes..and clothes strewn all over.. my bedroom has always been last priority)

    I am really proud of myself... I feel strong... I really do feel I am exactly where I am supposed to be.. in my job.. and my new/old apartment...(I mean I am seriously FIVE minutes from work.. TEN if I hit all the red lights!) as well as I feel like I'm stronger in the sense that I will make decisions that are best for me...because I love myself and who I am.. and I deserve EVERYTHING that I've been wishing for and asking for... (cryptic? yes. Going to explain now? no)

    A few things I love about myself:

    1. I am creative.. I'm putting my apartment together (slowly.. to make sure it all FEELS right) and I really feel like whenever I'm done.. will feel really comfortable being in my space... I LOVE doing this.. it makes me feel good.!!!
    2. I love that I'm the kind of person that people like to come to 1. with their soap boxes knowing I probably have something to say to make them feel better 2. when they need someone to make them laugh/goof around with..

    Ok... .I gotta rumble to work... I hope your having a good week... and bear with me as I gradually get myself into a morning routine again and start writing...

    Love you all!

    yea.. i'm still here... I didn't have a computer up last week.. with the move.. so I didn't write.. and today.... I'm just plain tuckered out.. whew! My body is saying REST! My brain is mushy too... But I'm done... Moved! (ok.. I still have my plants and a few things at the house... grr!!) It was a very busy weekend...AND thank GOODNESS... it was absolutely GORGEOUS!!! (Weird but the word Gorgeous always looks weird to me) My parents were SUCH AN INCREDIBLE HELP!!! And Thank God for Kevin and his friend Tom who brought over the furniture in the Uhaul... SO grateful for my help.!!! And It feels like I NEVER LEFT my apartment.. It FEELS like home.. like me... I feel SO MUCH myself in the apartment.. the sofa and rug and new coffee/end table look SO good together!!! I'm really happy!!!

    So bear with me.. I'm here.. but need just a few more days to create a new routine..

    Hope you are doing well!!!

    Happy Friday the 13th to ya!

    How are you? I'm great! I feel good. It's FRIDAY!! I go today to sign the lease on my apt.. and get the keys.... my wonderful sister and boyfriend are going to help me haul the sofas and chair out to the curb for tomorrows Alexandria Spring Cleanup Day! Tomorrow morning We're schlepping out to IKEA to get the Sofa (Rain or Shine - I'm praying for shine!!!) and then starting to move stuff over... Wow... today begins ANOTHER chapter in my life... It feels good to me.. I feel ready for it... (I know you might be wondering.... How is moving to your old apartment another chapter?? Well Good Question! When I lived there before.. my life was totally different... financially.. emotionally.. relationshipwise.. and this time.. I can experience the same physical space thru different wisdom) I"m PSYCHED!!! (Side note: Maureen.. if you know the neighbor across the hall from me.. maybe you can introduce me?)

    Anyway.. I will be a busy bee this weekend.. and.. I probably will not have computer access next week (doh.. i forgot.. i might not) if that's the case I'll try to write a short snippet at work to ya'll...

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!! And I'll talk to you all soon!! (AND.. if your around this Sunday or Next Saturday and can help... let me know! My moment of solicitation)

    love you all!

    Hi ya'll..

    Ok.. I'm SO ready for Friday... this week has seemed a little long to me... it's only Thursday? sigh.. ok... THURSDAY!!!! I feel SO much better than 2 days ago.. and better than yesterday so i'm good! Whew... It's chilly here.. who knows when it's supposed to get nicer... Kevin told me it's supposed to rain on Saturday DRAT! Thankfully the Sofa wrapped in Plastic.. so it won't get totally rained on..

    ok.. onto 3 things 2 things:

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. I got my ticket to Savannah for Memorial Day weekend (ALTHOUGH.. I found a ticket that I wanted to pay... and..when I selected that flight/price.. it said "this price is no longer valid" and the price went up significantly! Now, I can't find a price anywhere for where I first saw it!! I thought long and hard (3 seconds) and said to myself (using "The Secret") 'I have plenty of money!' and hit 'PURCHASE'... I'm SO excited to See Michelle.. See Savannah... eat yummy food.. hang out... and enjoy the warm weather...
    2. Kevin came over last nite to help me take down the curtain rod thingys... and the shelving in the basement... so nice. :)
    3. I ran a 1/2 mile yesterday... and I KNOW I can run a mile (I can FEEL IT!).. I"m going to try it tonite..

    2 things I'm looking forward to today:
    1. Trying to run a mile. (I can do it!)
    2. Going to sleep knowing tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!

    2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
    1. Warmer weather..putting my fuzz filled winter coat away for 6 months or so!
    2. Gotta say again.. Ready to be all moved in AND unpacked... it's a comin.. starts tomorrow! (Hey Kristy... if your around this weekend.. we'll be back and forth at the apt.. Comcast comes between 11-2 on Sunday.. so someone has to be there... ARGH)

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    My co-worker/another designer David.. I really appreciate him.. He is a gentle man.. very kind.. and I am REALLY glad that he is part of my every day... We were talking about how we both really enjoy our jobs.. I'm really happy where i am..

    Ok.. gotta boogy and create a beautiful day!
    much love,

    Hi there....

    Wednesday... whew.. I'm good today.. I've been feeling weird lately.. but I dont' want to focus on that... today seemingly is much better.. I feel better.. work has gotten much busier.. and of course that triggers my past experiences.. which has been Kerilyn in panic mode... I feel like i have a better grasp of what I can take care of today.. it's amazing how working late.. when the phones aren't going off..and you don't have people asking questions.. how much work you can get done.. NOT that I want that to be a regular occurance...

    I'm not feeling really chatty right now.. so let me end this with something positive..

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. Again.. sleeping the entire nite is SO nice. I'm so grateful for that!
    2. Coming home last nite... heating up Kevins leftovers he left for me... and watching my Tivo shows... so nice.
    3. Something shifted last nite at work... I felt the anxiety and panic subside... and it made me feel SO much better!!!

    Hope you're having a good week...
    love,
    kerilyn

    High/Low 4.9.07


    Morning...

    How are you? I'm doing ok..for some weird reason I am thinking this work week may be challenging for some reason? Do I know why? no... For some reason I'm feeling that same weird slight panic that i used to feel jobs prior.. I don't know why..

    I know why... I have a LOT do do in the next 30 days....

    1. Move (which has a few steps to them and will take up 2 weekends)
    2. Going to Iowa on May 5th - have EVERYTHING wrapped up and unpacked by then...
    3. I have an 80 station job to do BEFORE I leave.. and I do not know when I'll have the architectural dwgs from the architect to begin it. I'm not sure I have enough time..
    4. I have 4 outstanding small jobs that I wish would get themselves done so I can write that off my plate.
    5. I have an installation going on this week that THANKFULLY doesn't involve any new product but I hope I've calculated all parts needed correctly (I feel good about this one)

    Not to mention that I made my first specification mistake last week... (it happens.. I just wasn't expecting it) AND.. I have a job that's installing on Wednesday that I PRAY I get NO phone calls about.

    I also want to admit my slight jealousy... the other designer has been working on ONE DAMN JOB for 3 months.. has been holding onto that job like Charlie Brown's Linus with the blanket.. and I wish for a while I only had ONE job to work on.. and for a LONG time.. I know I should be proud that I am capable of doing more than one job.. but still.. it's a lot of eggs and baskets to be responsible for..(Side note: i have had quite a few jobs go very well.. and I've already gotten commission checks from it - So I need to focus on that!)

    This weekend I have worked my booty off (I wish it was that easy) packing.. I have 90% of the house done.. gotta finish up the basement - my studio/desk area.. and I'm done! It's been kinda strangely nice.. going thru my things.. I've donated a lot of things.. and threw out quite a bit too.. Thankfully the antibiotics have taken care of the cough.. and I have slept WONDERFULLY well the past 2 nites.. so nice. SO... This friday.. starts the process... my wonderful sister is coming to help.. and Kevin will help.. so that's good! Saturday is Ikea... NEW SOFA!

    ok.. onto 3 things 2 things:

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. Finding pictures of Skinny Kerilyn this weekend that has totally envigorated me to get serious.. like this one. This is my roommate Robin in Savannah.
    2. Feeling clean and fresh from just taking a shower.. and getting into clean sheets to go to sleep!!! AWW YEA!
    3. Sushi... Kevin and I had sushi last nite.. Healthy and SO satisfying!!!! (It was our last hoorah meal for a while)
    4. This song... from Bombay Dub Orchestra... called 'Mumtaz' (The Ornament of the Palace Mix) it's SO relaxing.. and "going inward"esque... I have been playing it on repeat while packing the basement.
    5. The movie ' The 40 year old Virgin' HOLY MOLY!! I laughed SOOOOO hard this weekend watching that movie!!! oh my gosh.. it's definitely a repeater for sure!

    2 things I am looking forward to today:
    1. As of today i am changing what I eat for breakfast and lunch at work.. trying to eat healthier.
    2. Seeing how much I can run right off the bat on the treadmill.. instead of walking.

    2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
    1. Going on vacation and having EVERYTHING done with regard to my move... I'll be all set.. all in... plugged in.. and will come home..to a new phase of my life...
    2. When I move... my girlfriend Kristy will be ONE BLOCK away.. so we can go for walks in the evenings around Del Ray!!!
    3. I really want to buy a bike and ride my bike to work.

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    ME!!! I did a lot this weekend.. and I am VERY proud of myself... Sometimes being the planner comes in handy... AND... looking at those thinner pictures of me... it's so funny.. back when those pictures were taken.. I didn't think of myself as beautiful.. and i look at them now and say to myself... WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???? I am beautiful... I used to be SO jealous of my girlfriends.. thinking THEY were so much prettier.. (i'm serious) but I look at the pictures of ME and can say that I really was feeling that way for naught... I know that Kerilyn is inside..... :)

    Ok ya'll.. have a WONDERFUL Monday.. actually it's amazing how writing this makes me feel better.. I'm not feeling the same way about work now.. AHHHH....

    Namaste. (Peace be with you)
    Much love to you.

    1. It's Friday.. and we found out yesterday that our offices are going to close at noon today for Good Friday! WOO HOO!! Half Day!!! I'm so psyched about that!!!
    2. I got the most wonderful email from my girl Kellee.. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing (I'll ask her when I get to work.) she wrote "5 things I love about Kerilyn" wow.. it totally made my day!!! I actually teared up.. happy and grateful tears.
    3. I went and had a margarita with my co-worker/friend Bianca last nite (YUM).. before i went to get my nails done..

    2 things I'm looking forward to today:
    1. Duh.. getting out of work at NOON!!!! WOO HOO!!!
    2. Just the day overall.. I'm SO grateful to be feeling better that I am happy about the day.

    2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
    1. As of Monday I'm changing my breakfast and lunch choices to something more healthy.. (not that i was eating badly.. oatmeal in the morning and a turkey and cheese sandwich for lunch) want to cut down on the bread and oatmeal.. Going to just run as long as i can instead of walking.. stepping it up a notch..
    2. This Cold front that is upon us in this area to pass (they're mentioning snow tomorrow) GRR!!! I'm ready for warm weather EVERYDAY!!!

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    For the most part.. I really do going to work partially because I work with a great group of people.. cracking jokes. and working together well .. I really appreciate that.. this is the first place that i feel we really can pull together as a team.. Yea.. there will be growing pains as we get bigger.. and learn everyones ways of communicating(or not).. but all in all.. I really appreciate my co-workers.

    ok.. u KNOW i gotta boogy to work... HA! (only for 4 hours!!) SO.. Happy Easter.. I hope the Easter Bunny treats you well.. and I'll talk to you on Monday.. hopefully mostly packed up and ready to go!
    Much love to you all!

I'll say that this week has been a very different color than the past few months.. and well.. I would say that the break down of the house.. with boxes and packing has made me feel unsettled.. I know that in actuality I'm just transitioning.. but the day in and day out of what I see when I go thru my morning routine has changed.. and so.. well I don't know what I'm trying to say... let's just focus on what is good...

    ok.. onto 3 things 2 things:

    Hey...

    ok.. i'm not going to lie.. or try to beat around the bush.. yesterday was NOT one of my better days.. (ok.. i take responsibility for saying that and therefore creating that..) Thankfully the Dr gave me some anti-biotics and cough medicine with codeine so I can sleep.. which was all nice and good that i had the slips of paper in my bag that could potentially make me feel better.. but i didn't get them refilled till almost 9 last nite.. and then by the time i took the cough medicine.. it took 40 minutes to start to ease (and just a bit) the HACKING coughing.. ugh.

    And I'm working on this job that has a QUICK turnaround (like a day) and I am still not where I need to be to be done.

    ugh.. ok. please allow me a pass so I can get ready and go to work and get this overwith so I can go home and go to sleep (I originally had plans to go hang out with my girl Kellee but I feel a little nutty at this point so I think I need to raincheck)

    more tomorrow.. say a prayer... (Side note: I know it will be ok.. it just feels like a lot when every other breath or so is followed by a deep hacking cough and then raised heartbeat. and I have to have this dang bid done by noon!!)

    Much love.

    High/Low 4.3.07

    Hey Everyone..

    How are you? I'm eh... I WILL be going to or at least calling the Dr to make an appointment today.. I really do think I have a bronchial something.. I have had Bronchitis before and this is what it feels like.. I didn't sleep well at ALL.. up coughing... probably got like 3 hours of sleep and for me... who is usually a 7-8er.. I am TIRED!!! And my Pez girl... she was trying to be mushy with me..I just couldn't (and sorta still cannot) focus on much when a coughing spell is going on.. ugh.. I know this is not my usual happy go lucky self... but even happy go lucky people feel Body Dischord :) Doesn't mean that I can't find things I'm happy about!!!

    ok... onto 3 things 2 things:

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. Gotta say it again.. NOT being at work yesterday.. it was BEAUTIFUL outside! Like 75 degrees!!! As Kevin says.. Nice to take a day off from "The Grind"... I concur!
    2. Feeling like my thoughts and feelings have been Heard...
    3. Getting comments on my Myspace Profile about my new picture!! Picture from yesterdays festivities.. (Ok.. I posted my pictures on Flickr - the pics to the right of this posting) to see them!

    2 things I am looking forward to today:
    1. Hopefully being able to MEET with the Dr so she can give me some Anti-Biotics to knock this Discord out of my body.. and so I can sleep again!!!
    2 FINGERS CROSSED.. that I'm not slammed with work today!!! If so.. meh.. I'll take care of it!
    3. Coming home with Medicine in hand... and getting a good nites sleep!!!

    2 long term things I'm looking forward to:
    1. Having the move done.. and putting together my new place!!!
    2. Right now.. my time frame is limited to now.. during and after the move... we'll figure out long term once that's done

    1 person I am going to appreciate:
    Kevin..It was awesome to go to the Game.. I would've not thought of ever going.. Although the Nationals got creamed.. I'm glad I was there to experience it... and for allowing me to express myself... and making me feel like I really was heard..

    K.. gotta boogy.. hope you have a great day! Say a prayer/affirmation/intention that I am able to get to see someone who can help alleviate this coughing!!!
    Much love to you all!
    Kerilyn

    PS: Side note but something VERY important to me... My wonderful friend Matthew.. who has been in the Army Reserves since he was 17 (I hope I'm getting all this right) and who i've known since I was 19... has been switched to Active Duty and is scheduled to leave for Iraq in June... I know he will be ok.. and hopefully this will be an important moment in his life.. but I wish for us all to send good thoughts... I know I will miss him.. and think of him everyday... I love you Matthew!!!

    High/Low 4.2.07

    Hi there Folks!!!

    Ok.. gotta make this short I gotta be quick like a bunny and get ready for Opening day!!! I had a great weekend (sans this hacking cough that I WILL be going to the Dr for.. I think it's Bronchitis or something along those lines.. Kerilyn staying up till 1am is NOT kosher for me!)

    ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

    3 things that make me happy:
    1. My haircolor looks REALLY good! I was a little thrown by how much darker it was than the last few times i've had it colored.. but damn.. it's EXACTLY what I want!! A cross between the Red I'm used to.. and the Darker Option I was thinking of going Brunette.. Talk about Law of Attraction it's EXACTLY what I wanted but didn't know it! So WOO hoo to that!
    2. My mother and Sister are AWESOME!! They came out yesterday and helped me pack.. the Kitchen and the Linen Closet are done! WHEW!!!! My mom and sister came in here and jump started the boxes flying around and things getting put away! Kevin helped as well... All in all it makes me VERY VERY happy that one room is totally done.. and I only have my bedroom and the basement to go!!! Thank you Kristine, Kevin and Mom (Kristine will you make sure she reads this?) I had a great day of laughing.. and of what being a family is all about.. It made me VERY VERY happy!! THANK YOU!!!!
    3. Waking up WHENEVER I WANTED this morning cause I'm home and not going to work.. AND.. it looks like today is going to be a BEAUTIFUL day for an Opening Day Game.. AND .... getting to spend the day with my love... AWESOME!!!


    Ok.. those 3 things are really high up on the 'What makes Kerilyn Happy" scale for today.. so More tomorrow! TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME!!!

    Much Love to you all!!!
