new goal: to read 2 books per month. so far i have been doing this, and it is definitely worth doing!

i have hundreds of books and not a lot of time to read them. plus, i read slowly. my mom and my sister probably read over 100 books per year. i was reading like 4…maybe. anyway, one of my new year’s resolutions was to read two books per month. so far, i have surpassed that goal! i love reading!!! once you get in the habit of doing it, you don’t want to stop. the reason i don’t know if this is possible is because i am always getting new books. i don’t want to stop buying books when i want them just so i can accomplish this goal. i think setting a goal for a specific number of books is better than saying you want to read all of your books. so that is what i am going to do from now on.

when i first created this goal, i really thought it was unattainable for me. i hadn’t had a boyfriend in years and had absolutely no prospects. everyone around me was in a relationship, engaged, or already married! but then someone who had been a brief acquaintance (and had since moved hundreds of miles away) came back to town to visit with friends for a week. while he was here, we ran into each other and started talking and haven’t stopped since! that was in february 2006. he moved back to town in may, and we got engaged february 12th 2007. exactly one year and one day after we bumped into each other while he was here visiting. i didn’t go out that night with the intention of meeting someone. i had already given up that dream. i just went out to avoid spending a saturday night sitting alone in my room watching tv. as it turns out, you are NEVER going to meet anyone, for romance or friendship, if you’re at home sitting on your bum.

anyway, i’m not going to close this goal yet because i’m not actually married. but hopefully i will be able to say i’ve done this and it’s worth doing sometime in the summer of 2008!

I LOVE OUR WALK-IN CLOSET!!! Of course, it would be better if I didn’t have to share it with my fiancee, but it is still glorious!

the moon is too far from home. scary.

i’m still tired a lot, but i get at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep almost every night…and that is a HUGE improvement!

i can cook some things well. but i screw up a lot of things. i don’t think cooking is that much fun so i decided i don’t care if i’m good at it. i would rather have someone cook for me!

i’ve decided that this is an unhealthy goal to have. having the goals “eat more fried chicken” and “have a flat stomach” don’t exactly work well together!

it’s an ongoing process…but i have met a lot of new people lately. it’s been fun!

blue jeans are awesome. i just sent a lot to the goodwill and i still have 36 pairs.

it took hours…but i feel better now! = )

i think that it is really impossible to completely STOP having nightmares. everyone will always have nightmares sometimes. but i am very happy because for several months i was having them almost every night and now i am pretty much back to maybe once every couple of weeks. i am grateful for the return to normalcy in kellie’s world of sleeping!

i did it. it was a halloween party! i was deb from napoleon dynamite. the night ended badly, but it wasn’t at all related to the fact that i went out by myself. i felt awkward for about 15 minutes but then i just started talking to a stranger and it was all ok after that. i am proud that i was finally brave enough to do it. i still say it is much better having friends to go out with but at least i know that i am ok on my own.

i had nightmares this weekend. :( i was doing so well too.

i am making good progress! i have everything all organized and the blank cds are labeled and in order. i still have a long way to go, but it is so much faster now with my new computer. hopefully it won’t be too long until i get them all done.

in the past, american eagle jeans haven’t fit me right. now that my hips have decided to get all big and wide, they fit better. plus i feel good because i can wear a size 2 in their jeans. really i know they do that on purpose so that people will buy their clothes but i don’t care! anyway, i got this pair of jeans for $25 and i love them so much. i want to wear them every day. so i went back and got another pair. 0=) they’re pretty inexpensive for blue jeans if you ask me and they’re my most favorite pair ever!!! finding a pair of jeans that you love is not an easy task and when it does happen, it should be celebrated!

my most recent cds are staind, best of the rolling stones, nickelback, and lifehouse. i really want to get a soundgarden cd. i am totally in love with chris cornell. and i want fuel to come out with a new cd already! getting new cds is so great. :)

i did it and i like it! it hasn’t been this short since high school and it is flippy and fun!!! this is the first time in a long time that people have noticed when i have gotten my hair cut and so far everyone has told me that it looks really good on me. i feel happy :)

this is the only show that can be sweet enough to make me cry over and over again. it always leaves me with a good feeling about the world. it is my escape from reality! (one of them anyway) plus there are plenty of cute guys to see.

i just got mine about a month ago. i was worried that i would miss my desktop, but so far i am loving the freedom! i have wireless internet so that helps. also, i bought a wireless mouse, keyboard, and a port replicator thingy. so basically it is a desktop replacement that i can carry around when i want. i love laying in bed and using it. it’s a dell and i was able to qualify for no interest until 2007 which is going to help a lot! yay for laptops!!!
