So the night that we get back home from vacay-I wake up early in the a.m. like I've been doing for, oh the past two months? Why can't I get a full, decent sleep in this house??
Our trip was fantastic! So happy Aleta takes me along and puts up with me through out the whole thing ["Are you asleep?!!" ;)] and we get to spend quality time together [I love this song! I love this song! Hey I...LOVE THIS SONG!] Seeing old faces (some of them think we're nuts...that's ok.) and making new acquaintances (sure they all think we're nuts too), trying new restaurants (I don't see anything I want-Ok, let's just leave then) and visiting old haunts (there were people in that building...Ohhh)-with the small exception of our smokey towels and fishy refrigerator, everything was great! Chana-I tried looking for Robin Williams-look a like, but by the time I knew they were in town, we were already headed out. Lol. Don't really know what I would say to them anyway-Hi I'm Krystle, I know the Paxtons!!! Aaaaand that's about it. Nice meeting you!
Anyways, good times. Now back to reality and decisions that involve more than picking out a restaurant or trying to think of which beach to go to. Some changes are coming up. It's going to be an interesting summer....

What I Learned in 2009
It's a little late but I really wanted to do a little blog about all the funny/sad/embarrassing experiences/moments that happened in good ol' '09. Some names might've been changed for privacy, others haven't-for comedic effect. Ah ha. ha. ha.
So here it goes.
The things that I learned in 2009:
-Parrot Bay, Kool-Aid, and Lady Ga Ga can make any weeknight extraordinary.
-You can go Into The Woods and come out with some life long friendships.
-Chana should never do the Thriller, while wearing glasses, while on a boat. (love ya buddy)
-You can freak a person out by inviting them to watch a football game at your house, only to realize you didn't have the channel that the game was on after they're already there.
-You can fool specific types of people into actually thinking that two girls are named exactly the same way. W/ the same address...w/ the same driver's license information. Total coincidence.
-Planning to throw a fertility party (or having friends plan it) can actually be all you need in order to get pregnant.
-Speaking of pregnancy, trips to carabelle should come with a warning label for my friends: "Beware friends that we left at home, you may find out good news while we are gone."
-Speaking of Carabelle; Never use words that are considered too...um...intense...for the bar---i.e.- Myself: "It's emasculating" Patron:"DON'T YOU CUSS ME!!"
-Sometimes what seems good on paper and as an idea, will not work out that well in real life. Roommates, puppies, moving furniture by yourself, etc.
-Unfair things happen to the best people. (this was already known, but saw a lot of repetition in 2009)
-Old friendships can be re-built :0)
-Sometimes safe words don't work (BANANA!)...sometimes you have no idea what a safe word is really supposed to do anyway in certain situations...
-You can break a "presumed "player"'s heart.
-New people can introduce you to new music (It's all about the Booty)
-Don't ever use the word "Pun" around 'good ol' country boys'. They won't understand and they will make fun of you.
-Sometimes something you really wanted doesn't work out-- and later on down the road, you come into another situation that makes you realize that everyone who was involved is better off because it didn't.
-Patty Melts are easy to make :0)
-Our parents/religion/school were right...."why to stay abstinent..."
-You can put a metal bowl in my microwave. (not that I'd chance it twice...just saying...it didn't blow up...)
-If you play a famous character, some people(the store UPS guy) will give you a lifelong nickname.
-Networking (whether it's done on purpose or not) is a huge part of my life (even though I hate to admit it and I hate to feel like my job defines me. Blegh.)
^^that's another thing I've learned haha.
-When you have little ones, Bells on the doors are a necessity. (Don't want them playing in the streets! ie LM)
-You cannot close off your heart and you can't build impenetrable walls around yourself. Someone will get in. It's inevitable.
-That being said^ Heartache is inevitable as well, But that's life, and that's ok.
-Nothing ever stays the same for very long.
-You can never have too many friends. They keep you sane, they keep you laughing... one of the most enjoyable things in life is friendship.
-My mother has become my confidant....I never saw that one coming!
-Foot tattoos really, really hurt.
-I can't change the past, but I can enjoy the present and look forward to the future.
There's so much more I could write about, but I'd like to keep it short. Seeing that the year flew by anyway, I think that's kind of appropriate :0)
