when will i grow up....

When I was a little girl, I always thought I would be "grown up" by blank age. 

Be a certain person by blank age.

Have everything figured out.

But the more I grow up, the more I experience, the more I "learn"...

the more I realize I don't know CRAP about ANYTHING. 

The older I get, the more confused I feel. 

I think I'm growing up wrong.

The only advice I can offer to people is...
-Watch Breaking Bad.
-Anything bunny related.
-The best locations to get Mountain Dew deals (especially the limited edition ones).
-It's not a bad thing to ask for help.

And that's... about... it....

IN OTHER NEWS:

I have a magnifying glass that I play with and take pictures because they make the photos a little distorted and goofy. Is this the Pioneers version of the iPhoto Booth before it was invented?

today, november 5th. - happy back to the future day.

November 5th.

So while all your friends on Facebook are putting, "Remember, remember, the 5th of November..." You can be all like, "Actually today is the day Doc invented the Flux Capacitor, so BOOM!" And they will be like, "Oooh snap!"

Reader, Happy Back to the Future Day.

Update: This weekend, I will be riding a bus up to Seattle. I think the ride is supposed to be like 14 hours. But I don't care. I love long drives/rides. So I will be pretty happy! Until the time comes when I've run out of comfy ways to sit in a bus chair. Oh well. I've never been to Seattle so I'm excited to what it's all about up there. But the only thing is, I will probably love it and want to move there. This happens every time I go to a new city.

Bunny is doing great. Last night I was bored so I started to sprinkle some of this water on him (just to see his reaction) and will you please guess what he did? He stood up on his hind legs, held out his front paws to catch the water and then started rubbing/washing his face. Yes, I was pretty much freaking out from the adorable-ness. That's not a word but I'm using it anyway. Actually I just Googled it and it is a word.

BYE!
 

what's going on in my life: part 4.

Hi. You are probably wondering why my hands are staind dark red. Well I will tell you. See: Update #1.

Update #1: I dyed my hair last night. Not my normal 'Medium Auburn.' This time I went for Dark Intense Auburn. Oh yeah. The process would have been successful if you define success as running out of dye when you still have half of your hair left. And we all know I'm not about to march to the grocery store and get some more with half of my hair applied and half still dry and not colored yet. So here I sit with two different colors on my head. Maybe I am starting a trend and I don't even know it yet. Doubtful. Anyway, somehow my hands (even though I wore gloves) are staind dark red.

Update #2: I think all the ghosts or spirits or whatever it was that was making me act like a crazy person in my own apartment are gone. Yay. Nothing scary has happened in a week. Meaning I don't have to sleep with all the lights on and calling my sisters in the middle of the night anymore.

Update #3: It is Oreos 100th birthday! Happy birthday Oreo. Thank you for making a special edition of Birthday Cake Oreos. I have already bought three containers. I'm pretty you get a cavity from eating just one though. Oh well, that is what dentists are for.

Update #4: It's the weekend. So if i look into my magic weekend crystal ball, I see: me finishing dying my hair, a trip to the library to people watch and get some books, and who knows what else. We will see.

a method i am willing to share.

I am telling you right now, I know I am probably not the first person to have this idea. I know that I'm not the first person to think it was valuable enough information to put on a blog. But I also know I don't care, so here we go.

You know that really great, sensational feeling when you flip over your pillow when you are in bed? And suddenly your face and arm (kind of) is just overwhelmed with the coolness of the fresh side? And you just want to burrow your face into it and never leave? I'm going mmmmmmmm just thinking of it. Well, I recently discovered a way to take that to the next level.

With blankets.

Here is what you do.

Get the blanket you sleep with. Or just any blanket, I don't care. Find a wall in your house/apartment/condo/attic space/pent house/cupboard-under-the-stairs that is an "outside" wall... meaning the other side of it is the outside. In the morning, loosely roll the blanket up and lay it on the floor by the outside wall. Come bed time, hurry and get the blanket and cover yourself up in it. It's the cool pillow feeling but all over. Oooh yeaaah.

I will warn you, this cool pillow all over feeling leads to great disappointment, only because it lasts for no more than two minutes. Then you are just laying there with a room temperature blanket. But it is worth it. I do this every day. This is my life.

Obsessing over.... my new cool (literally) blanket technique.
Thinking about.... how I have to pee but I'm waiting til I'm done with this to go. Sorry, TMI.
Anticipating.... going to the library tomorrow to replace my library card. I have to get a new one since some jerk stole mine. Who steals library cards? They are FREE.
Working on.... a creative way to hang up my polaroid/Instax pictures around the apartment.
Listening to.... my neighbors upstairs repeatedly drop what I can only guess is a lawnmower.
Eating.... nothing right now. Thanks for reminding me.
Wishing.... I could stop being a procrastinator. Once and for all! I'll start working on this tomorrow...

my hair magically grew an impressive seven inches.

JUST KIDDING. 

Or as the kids these day say,

"Jk."

Those are just extensions. 

I got them from Sally's Beauty Store.

You just clip them in every day as you wish.

So if one day I want long mermaid hair, I clip them in.

If one day I want my normal shoulder length hair, I don't clip them in.

If I want to look like an idiot, I clip only a few extensions in.

Ta-da!

I am professional at getting really bored and restless with my hair. This explains my history of the famous blonde to brunette to blonde to brunette to [accidental] copper to brunette phases that start and end in tears. So if you get bored easy with your hair, I would recommend these clip in extensions.

Oh and here are two things that should be hanging on my fridge right now:

what's going on in my life part 3.

Update #1 - Bad hair days. Have you not had a bad hair day in a while? Well, don't worry, it's probably because I have been having them for everyone on the planet. Yes, I do know that there are larger issues in the world to be concerned about, but honestly, my hair is behaving in ways I didn't know hair could. Part of me is honestly impressed that my hair is capable of doing what it's doing.

Update #2 - I've been dreaming about ice cream lately. I'm confused why I was dreaming of ice cream considering I don't really like it and it makes me cough and cough and cough. And cough. According to the handy-dandy internet that I would surely die without, this is what it means to dream of ice cream:

To see or eat ice cream in your dream denotes good luck, pleasure, success in love and satisfaction with your life. You need to savor the moment and enjoy it.

Update #3 - I've been watching the Friend Zone on MTV. Basically, it is a show where two (male and female) people are BFF's and one has strong feelings for the other. They eventually share their deep feelings for them and pour their hearts out to them in hopes to take the relationship to the next level. Some say yes (wahoo!) some say no (eff that). If I poured my entire heart and soul to my BFF in hopes to be his girlfriend he said "no we are just friends, you are in the friend zone." I would retaliate by putting him in the dead zone. Ha. Not really, but who knows. 

Update #4 - Saw this picture of this girl and it made me really miss my bangs. I came this close to cutting them. But instead I just put the scissors down and ran away...

what's going on in my life part 2

Update #1 - Yesterday was a big day. Not because I bought 80 pizza rolls from the frozen food section at Smiths... but because I finally signed up for health insurance on my own! Oh yeah. As of January 1, 2012, I will be fully covered. Health insurance is something everyone should have... but when you are a hypochondriac like myself and think you have every illness and symptom you hear, heath insurance is more than just a 'need'.

Update #2 - Today is Friday. Any other Friday I would be at work, but no, not today. This girl does not have to work until January 3rd!!! You probably think I have the holidays to thank for that, which I kind of do. But this week and a half break is the result of me having many, many, many vacation hours I didn't use throughout the year. So I am using them now.

Update #3 - We've been driving around the Avenues to see all the unique decorated houses in Christmas lights. We kept driving up and up and up clear past 13th Avenue. We turned a corner and saw this:

And believe it or not, I was only able to get HALF of the display in the picture. You can't really tell, but what they have on display is: multiple snowmen, multiple Santas, multiple nativity scenes, candles, palm trees, candy canes, penguins, carolers, etc. Basically if it's Christmas related and can be covered in lights, they have it. The owner came out and brought us candy canes, too.

what's going on in my life part 1

Lately. Here are a few updates on what is going on the world of Kaleena. Beware, you are about to be updated with a lot of nothing.

Update #1: I'm pretty sure I am teething. That means I am growing my wisdom teeth. My whole mouth and teeth area are ridiculously sore. I 100% completely understand why babies cry and scream when they are teething. Give me one more day and I will be screaming and crying with a teething ring.

Update #2: I had my worse migraine yet today. Not only did I suffer a migraine, but it came with an earache, back ache, and wanting to throw up.

Update #3: I have been licking Nutella by the spoonfuls.

Update #4: I am currently obsessed with ................ Big Macs. No idea where this obsession came from.

Update #5: I am really happy lately. I like this.

Update #6: I hung some pretty Christmas lights in my room and I sleep with them on. This is my favorite, sleeping with the pinkish dim in my room from the Christmas lights. I probably will leave them up after Christmas.... maybe.
