Worst Week EVER

You Hear... people have Bad Days.. well I have Bad weeks... UGH. So Beginning on the 19th... I got news that an acquaintance of mine... died. = ( RIP Eric Woodlief...

On Tuesday... I enjoyed a wonderful day at Disneyland with Natasha...

On the way home from Irvine.. my tire blew out at 10pm on the 5 in the middle of Griffith Park...
On Wednesday My Computer Broke Down = (
On Thursday Brandon and I decided to go visit friends at Disneyland.. even though He had a thing for work in the morning and I was going to leave to visit my mom up North. On Our way back we were detoured 3 times.. getting a lost and we didn't arrive at my apartment until 2 am!!!!!!!!!
I can't remember the other things that happened to me but it was a constant week of bad luck.
This Monday the 26th I went on my 2nd interview for MJ Marketing and shadow a trainer for a day... later that night I got the job! YAY! Than on my 1st day of work I got really sick.. I suspect Dehydration.. but for the most part it's all good. = ) I also hit a lucky streak and won $110 in scratchers. So it looks like my luck has turned around. = ) I start work again tomorrow! Also, Brandon got a job with SVK Marketing... so life is good. What else what else? I finished reading Love The One You're With.. I don't know if I said that already and began reading Eat, Pray, Love.... You can read my reviews on the books and other books on my OTHER new blog The Lost Book Reports.

Countdown till My 21st Birthday -- 87 more days!

Another Day.. Not Another Dollar...YET

Hmm, not much going on In the life of Kelsey.

Went Back up north to San Jose for 4th of July which was quite pleasant. Enjoyed hanging with family and my besties Natalie, Natasha and Natasha's Boyfriend Shane.. As well, as my Fiance Brandon. It was filled with games of Apples to Apples, Taboo and Scrabble's newest game SLAM! catching up, laughter and amazing FOOD! The rest of my week up north was pretty plain jane, although I did enjoy a nice spa day and Los Gatos' The Spa with my mom. BTW, I definitely recommend The Spa. The prices are fairly decent for the services you get and the offer a variety of services.. (no not THOSE kind of services).. Ladies, there dressing room is a womens heaven and do not visit with out a steam shower. Then later on Brandon and I drove down south together given he is moving to Santa Barbara...

The Drive down was alright, minus me suffering severe car sickness; which isn't something I usually get. We unpacked since Brandon is sharing a small room with his friend.. I offered my apartment as storage for these things.. plus I'm sure he'll visit a lot.. so they won't be too missed. Before he left we spent time at Disneyland and California Adventure..Got a glimpse of World Of Color, which from what we saw it looked great! Unfortunately, you need Fast Passes to get any front views of the show... So, going to have to wait awhile before we see it. I also got a new kitten.. very young, tiny and an orange tabby. She is VERY cute and after LONG talks and voting, I finally named her Martini.

My other cats are not too thrilled with Martini and it's funny cause since I got her my cats stopped acting like kittens and started acting like bitchy old cats. It is funny and sad to watch Martini desperately try to win their approval. The only major problem with her is the fact that I had to potty train her.. however, there has yet to be an accident since.

As far as life, I had an interview with a company today and It seemed to go really well and I start Shadowing at the end of the month. Besides that it has been CRAZY hot down here and makes my apartment bearably HOT.. So a lot of time in the pool, watching tv, walks every other day and reading. Although, my reading is still taking me forever. I am still reading Love The One You're With by Emily Giffen. Who's books I could sing praises for all day long.

SO.. right now, that is my boring life.

Twenty-One

Hello Party People!

Starting off first.. I have a joint blog with my fiance.. so If anyone.. and my anyone I mean ONE... of you readers would like to check it our... please feel free to do...
http://brandongregorio.blogspot.com/

Now, off to my thoughts going on in my brain now.. So much. I just posted my 1st blog entry on my joint blog and that is exciting...
I am Now home in Toluca Lake and having a blast. A lot to say really and I'm sure, I will forgot half the things I wanted to say while typing this. We will start off with my Trip to San Jose... 2 weeks ago I made a trip to San Jose.. For several reasons.. My Mom's birthday.. she turned a beautiful 30 years old and honestly hasn't aged a day! ; ).. on top of that was my brother in-law Nick's Graduation and Going Away Party (to boot camp) and Linnea asked me to baby sit Alec and Makenna Memorial Weekend. Which I was glad to do. My trip started a little drive back the 7th (Monday). Brandon was with me the weekend before for our 1 year of engagement so on the 24th (monday) I decided to drive up with him and than fly back down on the 8th (tuesday). We scrambled to clean, my house... pack and get our kitties all situated....this was the longest I had ever left them on their own. The trip ended up being pretty much a bust... Minus hanging out with B mostly. Brandon and I both had to work the night of Nick's Graduation.. which, we were okay with cause we'd make it up to him by being at his grad. party.. which Nick than decided he didn't want because he wasn't going to join the marines anymore! So besides My mom's birthday and babysitting.. I had come up for nothing... I for the most part enjoyed the trip though and came home Tuesday night(the 8th) to 2 alive cats and a surprisingly STILL clean place.

What else...what else. I have seen 3 movies since the trip and now. Killers (with Brandon, Tim Burton's/Disney's Alice In Wonderland and Shutter Island. Killers was a decently good and funny movie.. probably not worth what we paid, since we watched the movie in Oakridges XD theater... (Which is a bigger screen, more seats, and WAY more comfortable seats) The movie could have been a little bit longer and had more actual plot to it.. but it was the perfect date movie for Brandon and I. Alice in Wonderland was alright has well.. Visually it was stunning and the story line was really good, but I'm glad I waited to watch it OnDemand than see it in theaters. I have never been a huge fan of Alice In Wonderland though.. so, I didn't have high expectations in the first place.. Then, there was Shutter Island. Which was a great psychological thriller and Martin Scorcese can do no wrong. It is NOT as scary as it portrays it to be and is definitely an intriguing movie.

Also, Since I have been home.. I have finished reading L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. Which was a decent book. Not a MUST read but nice, light, fun read for us girls. Than I read The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyers. For those, who don't know the book. It's really a "short story" about one of the newborns from the Twilight Sagas: Eclipse. It is basically shows the newborns story.point of view.. instead of Bella's. I originally found out about the book from Perez Hilton.. Saying that as a gift to her followers Stephenie Meyers put the short story up for free on the website... I being the OCD weird person I am debated if I wanted to actual buy the book or read it for free. A few things made my Decision. 1. I prefer reading actual BOOKS 2. It wasn't expensive and money from the book went to the American Red Cross and 3. I just wanted to complete collection for my series.. even if it wasn't the actual saga books it tied into them. Overall I enjoyed the book more than I though I would. Now, I am beginning to read Love The One Your With by Emily Giffin. If you have read my blogs, you may notice this name come up often.. I have become a big fan of her books because, they are real woman, and real woman experiences and thoughts and it's funny. I am excited to start this book, and just as excited to discover she has a new book out as well.

Oh, those sleeping pills are definitely kicking in now... being home Has been Nice.. not too eventful but nice. I have been going on my walks, which keep me in shape and get me out of those house.. Today, on my walk so many people slowed their cars down to point, wave and take pictures of me.. I guess they thought I was famous.. which is funny cause i'm NOT.. but I didn't ruin their fun.. I just smiled and waved back.. (btw I had a hat and sunglasses on..so my face wasn't exactly clear)Friday (the 11th) I drove down to Irvine and enjoyed the day with Natasha and Her friend Bobby. We shopped,ate and talked. GOOD DAY. It was really fun, especially all the dumb jokes that natasha and I make up. Hmm.. besides that nothing TOO crazy. Alright... can barely keep my eyes open.. NIGHT!

HAHA WOW... I ended and than posted this without even addressing what my actual Title means. 21. I turn 21 in roughly 4 months! So this is a crazy night and fun night for most people. However here is my Delemma.... my 21st birthday falls on a MONDAY! Uhm, people, have school, work, etc. So... that won't be too fun. I'm also, the only one of my friends who will be 21. So, simple solituion would be have your birthday at a places that serves alcohol but I can still have underage people with me.. I.E. a resturant of some sorts and Just have my birthday later in the weekend... the latter issue is the real problem. My birthday is only 6 days away from Halloween, so most people will be in Santa Barbara.. so I will have to celebrate it a week...2 weeks,, after my real 21st... THAN I realize that I only have 3 best friends. Natasha,Brandon and Natalie. and Natalie will be in England. Leaving.. just Natasha,Brandon and I.. which actually isn't a HUGE problem.. but I want my closest friends there and I want a PARTY. lol. I'm sure I will figure this issue out.. but it was just something that was bothering me! Okay, Night for REALS

Where to Begin?

I've been lazy about updating this. = (
Where to begin? Where to Start?
Life as been going pretty well... March Came and went. Nothing TOO exciting. At the end of March, Brandon came to visit, but mostly he came down for a LAN in Moreno Valley. For those who don't know and LAN is a tournament for computer nerds (haha) Brandon plays Counterstrike Source and I guess, if amazing at it or something. So him and his buddies made a team called GX and competed. Thursday night I picked him up at the airport and basically we just fell asleep. Then Friday, we went horseback riding at Griffith Park Equestrian and well rode horses. That was a lot of fun and was interesting riding horses in LA, tunnels under freeways, bridges over man made rivers.. fun stuff. After we went to the Burbank Town Center and Then I cooked us some dinner = ) The next day his team met us at my apartment and before we left for Howies in Moreno Valley (for them to practice) we had lunch at Paty's, where we also had a Miley Cyrus/Liam Hemsworth Siting. After, we left for Howie's and got stuck in LA traffic, but not JUST ANY LA Traffic, LA traffic + 3 Car accidents. OK, this is boring. On the way to practice I got sick.... and felt bad cause on tourny day (sunday) I missed half of Brandon's games due to being sick. Eventually, i felt better and drove myself to Moreno Valley to "cheer" them on. His team ended up winning 1st place. After That, we drove back up to San Jose for my spring break; where we didn't really do much since all my friends already had spring break and Brandon had work. Easter was a nice day. Sat. we drove up to El Dorado to stay withh his Grandparents on his Mom's side then Easter morning; after Brandon and I found the baskets we made for each other we drove To Granite Bay Brunch with his mom's family at his Aunt and Uncle's Home. After That we drove to Elk Grove to his Grandma and Granpa Gregorio's to have dinner with that side of the family. Overall it was a great day. Now. I am back in LA and bored, but LOVING it.Just need to find a job and decide how my summer is going to be like.

Also, I have read 2 books. I'm not sure If I told you about Baby Proof my Emily Giffin, but overall I liked the book. Not as much, as I like her first to books, but it was witty and funny and in ways realistic. I also, like how she tied characters from his first 2 books into this one. After that I read "Chelsea,Chelsea, Bang, Bang" by Chelsea Handler and was as usual throughly amused by the book. It's a great read and will definitely make you die of laughter. Now I am reading Sean Hannity's new book "Conservative Victory" and although I am only 20 pages into. I am outraged; love the book, but am outraged by how our country elected Obama.Absolutely disgusted and outraged.

Now, it is time for bed.

WHAT A WEEK!

Last week I started school!
I fell in love with ALL my teachers, minus my Sociology teacher.. ugh that was painful. There is so much more to why I didn't like her... but the selling points on dropping her class were the highest grade you can get in her class is a C(Sidebar: WHY?! why would ANYONE stay in a class and risk their GPA to only get a C!) UNLESS, you are willing to do heinous amounts of extra credit to receive just a B! AGH!...THEN.. she announces she is a Marxist and Atheist! So, I dropped that class IMMEDIATELY .

Minus, this past week also being President's Week and having F.S.Su.M.T off it was also, Valentine's Day week. I was bummed that my fiance Brandon couldn't come down to visit, but extremely excited that my mom wanted to come visit. So I cleaned up my apartment on Friday and waited. Around 9pm Someone knocks on the door and I open it to a HUGE teddy bear,Heart Shaped Box of See's Candy, a gift bag and rose petals surrounding it! I orginally thought it was my mom, trying to make me feel better, but i looked to my right and standing there was Brandon! I was immediately thrilled! My mom and him had planned for him to surprise me all week!So Saturday we ate at Paty's for breakfast, then i drove him up to the Hollywood Sign, Which this week was changed into "Save The Peak" so that sucked that he couldn't see it! Then, we went to Pink's Hot Dogs and stood in that line forever and ate some YUMMY hot dogs and cheeseburgers. After that we walked around the Grove and then saw a movie at the Burbank Town Center. We watched Valentine's Day. Which was a decently good movie, made your laugh, made you cry...was perfect for what else? Valentine's Day. Then Sunday, THE ACTUAL Valentine's Day we woke up and went to Bob's Big Boy for breakfast,we sat there thinking about what we could do with out day but everything just didn't fit (mainly cause we were on a budget) We decided on Knott's Berry Farms which neither of us had been and they were having a couple special , so our ticket was fairly cheap! I really like it! Knotts is like a less cool version of Disneyland and a WAY better version of Great America. The rides there are REALLY REALLY good and Brandon and I enjoyed playing the carnival games. After we drove back home, dressed quickly and went to Mo's in Toluca Lake for Dinner, then came home and watched Sleeping Beauty. Monday, we just drove around, ran some errands and then he left = (.

In Other News, I finished "Something Blue" and I for sure enjoyed it. I really ended up liking the main character, which in the beginning I was determined not too! Now, I am beginning to read "Reservation Road" by John Burnham Schwartz. It was made into a movie last year, but I think people may have gotten confused, because it came out the same time as "Revolutionary Road" anyways I have yet to see the movie to the book, although I have heard good things about it. I am a true believer that the book is always better then the movie, but so far... I am not sure; maybe it just starts off slow. Well, I will be go now and run some errands = )

Cannot Sleep

I would say I Can't sleep because of my Insomnia, but that's really not the case.. since I haven't really suffered from that for a few months. At the moment my lower abdominal area is hurting, which is pretty usual... however, this is the worst it has been since I started taking birth control. It doesn't help that i am getting over a cold and every time I cough it makes the pain 10 million times worse. I also, cannot stop eating, I am CONSTANTLY hungry.. yet i continue to lose weight. What a medical mystery I continue to be... Need to make appointment with the doctor and tell her that previous diagnosis and treatment is not helping = /

What I hate about not being able to sleep (besides the pain causing me not to sleep) is the fact that there is NOTHING on TV at this time! Personally, I think re-runs should be on or something... In Fact, i think running infomercials from 1am-5am is the absolute WORST marketing scheme ever... Why would you advertise things to buy, when Most people are Asleep?!

I could go on about how there is nothing to watch Online (legally) either, but i don't want this to be a whole blog about complaining...

I would go and read my book, however, i am too tired to be able to concentrate on that..
I love reading and Have just began reading this new book called "Something Borrowed" By Emily Giffin, I'm only on chapter 4 but so far I am really enjoying it.

I guess, i will just play some mindless game on my Computer like JoJo's Fashion Show or watch a free movie on Netflix.
