My day and teeny polar bears.
Well let me start off with wow I can't believe how awesome of a day i've been having. Nothing too special or eventful but man I feel so happy today. Got up and went to the gym around 9am with Brit. We've decided to make this an every day normal thing which I am happy about. Then her and I just wondered through the bx and I purchased some concealer, 3 minute miracle hair conditioner, a new tank top (it was on sale, so i had to. Like always.) I think I actually do need to go to some type of shoppers anonymous class. Got the finishing touches to the 3 birthday packages I have to send tomorrow and an envelope to mail back flat stanley soon. His journey is coming to an end here, and I don't think I even let you guys know I have him. My cousin has this project called flat stanley and she mails him to a host family (me!) and I take him cool places around where I live and take pictures. We took him to London and Paris just need a few more pictures of around where I actually live and he's good to be sent back home. We then stopped by the commisarry and I then took Scott to work, did laundry, got a coffee, and just cleaned up around here a little. Nothing much of an amazing day but it's still felt like one.
Short post. It's all you get suckas. P.S. I really want this animal.
My bffffff Tracy Jackson posted it in her tumblr account and I absolutely, no doubt about it fell in love. IS IT REAL? I don't know but god I want it.

Bored? Glance her page. It's basically a magazine of all things Tracy related. Sheer greatness in my opinion. <3 Love youuu Tracy.

Living here, and Betsey Johnson.
This one is solely just the writing today. No pictures to sugar it up and make it interesting. Lately i've been feeling a bit sick, and well to be completely honest... fat. It's a new year, everyone is on their health food, and workout kick. I'd love to be right there with them. I just have no drive to do it. Like today... I told myself to go to a cardio class. Of course I told myself, well you're more in the mood to write so just stay home and do that instead. Plus you need to start running before you jump into a class again. Kickboxing a few weeks ago just down right embarrased me. So in order to start my classes monday, tuesday and thursdays, I need to get my butt used to running again. I used to do pretty well in the running department. But like I said earlier, no drive to do any of this. Once it turns to february and I am only a beautiful 5 months away from being home i'll get more into gear. If not, I need one of you to yell at me and tell me i'm a lazy, fat woman. Please and thank you (:
Also, I really miss my Samantha. I don't expect 80 percent of this world to understand but she is seriously the closest thing I have to a twin sister. She's the best friend you could ask for, and we just have that bond where you know it will last forever. I sound cheesy even trying to put it into words but honestly, my life without her would be completely blah. I'm getting frustrated just knowing I can't possibly explain it even though i'm still trying.
California just needs to fit in my pocket or I need to invent a teleportation device. I need my family, friends, and some warm weather. Inn N Out, Panera, Jamba Juice, and BJ's also. I've also been craving some good church. Church over here is just not inspiring at all, and the music is just awful. Samantha and I would get up early, walk our butt's to Coffee Bean, get our yummy coffee's and walk to church. I need to do this with her as many sundays as I can when I go back home. It's fun, always a good message and leaves you feeling great or inspired at the least, and the music is WAY better than the 5 people who stand on stage here and sing songs from the 1800's with opera like tones coming out of their mouths. So not what i'm used to.
I'm just a ngative person when it comes to being here, no matter how hard I try not to be. It's useless and unpreventable. I will always want to be in America versus here. I'm such a baby, but I don't really care. Some of you may be like BUT YOU'RE IN EUROPE, blah blah blah. SO WHAT?! Plenty of Americans go to Europe to visit, and sure it's grand. But to live here? Just not for me. Maybe it's for you! And that's wonderful, but don't tell me how i'm so lucky to be living YOUR dream. I'm definitely not living mine. If it were up to me, we'd be stationed somewhere in NY, DC, or Southern California and i'd be in school, instead of wasting my time at a bowling alley. School over here is so confusing and expensive. I'm fine with attending junior college and then working my way up to possible scholarships for a good school worth attending. I don't have mommy and daddy to pay for it, and military pay isn't gonna get me through school. Inside i'm stressing out and feeling like i'm wasting my life. I just wish we were in the states so school was possible.
Enough of me pouring my worries and stresses out, I have some exciting news that probably most of you will not like (family). I've decided to get a new tattoo, and the apt is for Monday the 31st. He said it will take about 2 hours and i'm pretty damn nervous but the outcome will be so good. I'm getting betsey johnson wings on my back and in the middle of the wings it's gonna say fly with me. It's from a t-shirt I got when I was in 8th grade. My nana bought it for me for getting all A's and B's. Well anyway, i've always been in love with this, especially as an idea for a tattoo. We all know my love for Betsey, and it also symbolizes being an angel. The fly with me part of it for me, is something along the lines of "Dance while you still have the chance." and pretty much fly for what you want in life, and don't let the noise of the world bring you down. My grandpa died in 2006, and a few days before he died he was telling someone how he wanted to live to 100. He deserved to live to 100, he took care of himself. And out of nowhere for him to die from a heart attack after he was so careful about everything. It just makes me feel like you never know when it's your time. So fly to your dreams. Fly for what you want and believe in because it could end at anytime. It's a beautiful saying and drawing and from now until forever I will always be in love with it. So getting it as a tattoo will be beyond amazing. I know 2 out of 3 of the tattoos I got when I turned 18 were out of impulse, and I just did it to do it. But this one has had many years of thought. And it's finally coming true. So for any of you who think I shouldn't get it as a tattoo, sorry. It's already happening and you can't change my mind. Just love me for me, and not for my tattoos. That's simple enough right? (My family is very against tattoo's so I already know the reaction, hence the reason i'm needing to say this.)
For the life of me, I can't get this picture to go right side up. But this is good enough I suppose.
I found a poem I wrote about Betsey Johnson in highschool. Here it is (:
I love Betsey Johnson and here are the reasons why.
Betsey Johnson is pretty perfect.
Her designs make every penny worth it.
I love everything about her lines.
Every season, Every piece, Every time.
I fell in love with the 08' Prom dresses she made.
I'd swim rivers for her, Oceans and lakes.
People think i'm crazy for her and I am.
I love her necklace on my neck, and her ring on my hand.
She's amazing, and that is that.
I was young and not that good at writing so don't judge me haha (:
That's really all I have to say for now.
Love, Kels.

Well don't I just suck.
Yes, I know. I think about getting back to my blog every single day yet I just tuck it away in the back of my mind and go on with my days. I have an unfinished blog about Paris, and there's so much more to show and write for it that it kind of just depresses me. Today I have decided to start anew and just work on that one here and there and you guys will see it when you see it.
As of lately I've been kind of down and unhappy. Nothing I'm going to get into on here but today feels a lot better. Penny keeps me happy, and always gives me licks when she knows I'm sad. I love her. Lately I've just been working, getting things done around here, taking care of penny, and hanging out with friends rarely. Me and Brit went to London last Friday and I gotta say, it was such a fun day. We saw all the touristy things and ate Chipotle (my favorite as you all know), and even went shopping at the end! We got totally soaked from head to toe, NO exaggeration. First we hear this huge thunder sound come from the clouds, and within the next 5 minutes it's pouring rain, gusting winds along with the rain, and hail. Yes, hail. All within five minutes of that awful sound in the sky. And it came out of nowhere. I don't think i've ever actually experienced that before. It was kind of cool for me, kind of miserable for my jeans and uggs. But it got our butts into an awesome Primark and I bought 2 new scarves, a pair of adorable tennies, a shirt, and 3 pairs of leggings for only 25 pounds total. That place has crazy deals I swear it. I would totally go back and get more but I need to TRY and save my money. It's not really working but i'm trying. No getting my hair done, my nails done, my toes done, my eyebrows done. All the things I really like to do, i'm giving up and just doing at home. How dreadful right? Haha it's not too bad.
I definitely splurged and let Scott bribe me with this Guess purse i've been dying to have for a few weeks. Wasn't cheap, but it was cheaper than what guess would originally have sold it for. Good ole BX gives me deals and I am thankful for them. I take that thing with me everywhere I go now. It's my new favorite for the next few months (:
38 days until Fashion Weekend. I'm hoping that due to our taxes ill be able to be free and buy a lot of stuff. Designer things up to 70% off. Who would want to skip out on that right? I need to save my pennies until then. No more letting Scott bribe me, and no more thinking I need more clothes when we all know that I don't. Well things outside fashion week in London of course. There are these chinese laundry boots/heels 2 in 1 type deal on sale at the bx that I think Scott should buy me so that I can wear them to fashion week. Maybe for vday he'll be nice (:
Enough about clothes for now, i'm sure i'm totally boring you with it. I'm going to post a few random pictures for you that i've managed to take within my non blog posting time off. Notice that I said few, there aren't very many. Have a wonderful rest of your day or night, it's time for me to make some coffee and go on a search for my brothers birthday present, and my mom's. Speaking of, it's her birthday today. Happy Birthday Mama! I love and miss you more than you know. Thanks for being there for me when I need someone to talk to. You always say the things that get me through whatever i'm stressing or sad about since i've been in England. It's been a huge help.
hopefully the Paris blogpost will be coming to you soon (:

Christmas Eveeeeeee with the Chieze's.
I wrote this Christmas day but just never got around to posting it for some reason. So here's me talking like it is Christmas day today. I really suck at blogging.
Well Christmas eve pretty much consisted of waking up bright and early, baking my heart out, getting ready, and hanging out at Britleigh Chieze's house. I have to admit our dinner was pretty awesome for both being newbie's to making christmas dinner. In the morning I slaved for 3-4 hours making Scott's favorite treats oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and snickerdoodles. I also made my favorite which are the lemon bars. Mmm mmm! We prepared dinner, made an alcohol run at the nearest Tesco, played Twilight the board game, watched lots of youtube videos, gave Jacob a bath, cleaned up, watched Bad Santa (most of it) and just enjoyed ourselves basically. Scott and Austin played the ps3 pretty much the whole day. Typical. But all in all it was such a good day. I really enjoyed myself (:
As for Christmas morning, I made a breakfast casserole and Scott and I opened all of our presents together. Skyped with family and I ended up taking a nap for a few hours while Scott tried out his new headphones on the computer. `Boring relaxing day, and of course I made one of my most favorite dinners ever as of late. Tostada Casserole. It's delicious. Lot's of left overs that don't go to waste either. (Scott hardly ever eats leftovers). It makes me angry because for me it's kind of hard to just cook for 2 people. I always make way too much. Anyway, we enjoyed the day and got some pretty awesome things. (:
Hope everyone had a great christmas!
Love, Kels.
