nothing worse than car trouble.

On Friday, my car quit working. It was also Friday the 13th. Usually I'm not superstitious, but...............

So my car is the repair shop now, will be ready tomorrow. I hate the feeling of not having a car. The feeling of having to rely on someone else to give you a ride. Ugh.

When my car breaks down... so much more happens then just a bunch of swear words when it won't start.

-I lose my reliable transportation.
-I lose a lot of money going towards fixing it.
-I lose the privilege of driving around in the rain for fun... which is now. It's raining now.

Can I please express my excitement for fall and winter coming up. I really don't enjoy the summer..... like, at all. Everything from the weather to the clothing. I mean, as much as humid head and exotic bugs finding their way in your house is enjoyable, I can't wait for the freezing cold weather. And after all, winter is the official season for hermits. So it's only natural I'm excited for the fall and winter.

things that must go - #5

Things that must go #5:

EVERYWHERE being closed on Sunday here in Utah. Or closing too early. UGH. Sundays in Utah can be the worst sometimes.

things that must go - #4

Things (people) that must go:

Jason Statham.

This guy is the worst.
He is a scar on the face of the movie making business.

All his movies are the same.

Has he ever been in a movie that didn't involve:
Fast cars that race in a race that determines whether someone lives or dies? Or where he doesn't have a piece of machinery in his body serving as an organ? Where he wasn't the witty hero that is rescuing some child from a foreign land from snipers?
Ugh.

Anwyay, he sucks. 

And I wouldn't be sad if I found out he was mauled by bears.

No talent would be destroyed.

bits of my weekend.

(above) This is my new hair color. This is also the second box I had to buy since the first ran out. This is also the color that stained my hands and scalp bright red. My hair is now the color of that girl's on the box. I like it. (R1 Dark Intense Auburn - Garnier)

(above) OMG. What your precious little eyes are looking at Reader is the new grocery store that is located less than three minutes from our apartment. It's called Harmons. And it's bitchin'. It is two stories and you have view like this. Not only does it have aisles and aisles of cheap groceries, but it has a bakery, a deli, a floral area, a buffet, a sushi bar, a coffee place, little shops and sitting areas above the aisles. This is pretty close to being heaven for me. I keep trying to come up with a pun involving "glorious" and "grocery" but I am coming up with nothing. Let me know if you are more successful.

Again. My heaven.

That is a cutie nectarine orange. I had close to a million this weekend. So so so delightful but so so so annoying to peel. Complain.

I didn't do much this weekend. If you really wanted to see what my weekend looked like, it would be this:

Because I watched 50+ episodes of Golden Girls. I love this show. Dorothy (Beatrice Arthur) is my hero.

This show actually (for some reason) actually makes me excited to get old.

Thanks for reliving this weekend with me!

a complaint.

Hi.

I don't complain a lot. Because I am generally a happy person and find joy out of stupid things.

Also, I didn't have to work today so I really shouldn't be complaining.

 But this complaint stems from my work. And let's just say the HR lady is going to be welcomed at work tomorrow morning by a whole bundle of unpleasantness that is 'Kaleena and her bank account that didn't get a paycheck deposited on time.'

That's right.

We get paid on the 5th & 20th of every month. In a perfect world, I would get paid every other Friday. But we don't live in that world. We live in a world where only things that I don't like happen to me.

Anyway. So if the 5th or 20th lands on a weekend or holiday, we get paid the business day closest to that day. Makes sense. That means I should've gotten paid on Friday. But I didn't. I e-mailed HR using words like: annoyed, unacceptable, unprofessional, ridiculous, unhappy. I got a response back explaining it is up to my bank to get it deposited. Low and behold my bank said there were no funds waiting to be wired.

Are you &#%^&$^# kidding me??

HR then said it should be in there first thing Monday morning. A holiday. A day the banks are closed. I was doubtful.

It's Monday. Oh well what do we have there that is in my sad bank account. My NOT paycheck. Big surprise.

Still no paycheck. This makes a normal, happy, laid back, doesn't give a crap Kaleena... a very cranky, unpleasant Kaleena. And HR is going to see this first thing in the morning.

Also: Waking up, rushing around the apartment thinking you are late for work and then realizing you have the entire day off.... PRICELESS.

fortune cookies that don't have fortunes.

My favorite part about eating Chinese food is getting to read my fortune from the fortune cookie.

BUT

My not favorite part it when the "fortune" isn't a fortune.

I'll explain.

One time I got one that said,

 "You have friends when you need them."

That's not a fortune.

That's something I was well aware of before a cookie tried telling me.

I know there are a lot of bigger things to be annoyed by, 

but what better place to address this than my blog?

Here is my fortune from the other night:

I think that's a good fortune to get right before the new year!

why i wish the wind wouldn't exist.

Reader, I hate the wind. If I knew how, I would kick the wind in the face. If I think really hard, I'm sure I can give you close to ten days that have been ruined by the wind. In fact, I'm pretty sure the days where I have a good hair day, is when it's windy outside. So the good hair day lasts only mere seconds before the wind destroys it.

Wind, in my opinion is the worst weather condition. Not only is it the worst, but it also spoils my other favorite weather conditions. For example:

Snow is awesome. But if it's windy when it's snowing? Snow is no longer awesome.
Rain in wonderful. But if it's windy when it's raining? Rain is no longer wonderful.
Perfect still days are lovely. But if it's windy when it's a perfect still day? It's no longer a lovely day.

There has never been a time where I felt the wind blowing and I thought 'you know, I really enjoyed that.'

Brushing your hair after it's survived in the wind is probably one of the most painful things that can happen... to your hair/head.

I'm aware this is full of complaining, but I don't complain much and I really just hate the wind.

It was pretty windy the other night and it blew over a bunch of trees in our neighborhood. Some houses didn't even have power for a few days. See? The wind is awful.

the cons of winter.

Winter is my second favorite season. I like the Winter because:

• The snow.
• I look better bundled up in winter clothes than I do in summer clothes. Take my word for it.
• I think winter clothes in general are cuter. Like scarves, hats, boots, sweaters, etc.
• I don't like Summer heat.
• The holidays.
• Being a hermit is more fun in the cold.
• I just do.

However, there are two very huge things that are really worse than death that cannot be avoided in the Winter. And they are:

My jeans getting wet at the bottoms.

The days when I don't wear boots and the snow/sleet get the bottom of my jeans wet. My days and life feel so miserable when this happens. It leads me to start complaining about everything. Also, as I was Googling that picture, I found out that there is an actual Facebook fan page dedicated to hating when the bottom of your jeans get wet. I'm not alone!

Scraping the snow and ice off my car.

Does this count as a chore? If it does, this is 100% my most hated chore. Life would be complete if I would never have to do this again. 

some questions... and stuff... and things.

Why do children, typically ages 3-8 years old just run? Mostly in grocery stores or restaurants. Why? They just run.

Did you know that you can't block Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook?

Why do I have always have to do the dishes right after I paint my nails and make them all pretty and shiney and sparkely? We  never have dishes unless I have some bitchin' nail polish on.

Why is breakfast so much better for dinner? Well maybe not so much better for dinner, but I do love it for dinner. Oh yeah.

Why can't I be a synchronized swimmer? 

Why is new music on my iPod just so delightful? It makes me happy in the face.

Why can't Panda bears be domesticated house pets? Pretty please can they be?

Why do I always have such big and extravagant hopes for the weekend but waste them by sitting and snacking? Mostly sitting. And snacking.

Why am I catching a cold? Be gone, evil cold! You won't win this time.


Why do I always crave smoothies and then after one sip, want to chuck it out the window? Or just poke it with my straw while I think about stuff. Like why I wasted my money on it...again.

Why does iTunes suck? COMPLAIN! COMPLAIN! 



and now this picture just because. i took it about... two years ago and i like it. 

 these are just a few of my scarves.
