...but tonight I'll be jumping straight in, splashing around a bit, and hoping to come up with actual thoughts. HA! =) Vickie had her baby. In case you don't know, because 99.94728 percent of you won't, Vickie is Derek's wife. Derek is my cousin. Hmmmm.... They were in the hospital from somewhere before 6 a.m. monday morning and she had Cherity Lynn Marie Conrad at 12:07 a.m. tuesday morning. Cute, adorable little girl. Red hair, blue eyes. (Jealous a bit but can't be too mad at her. She's just too sweet.) 7lbs 1ounce 20 in. long. Phew! =) Way to go, Vickie.

I'm quitting Target....No I'm not. I kid. I need the money. Target isn't really that bad. I just hate working with the people. Haha! =) In light of that, any job will be the same. I actually like my job. Hmmm...Got my loans set up for automatic payments for awhile till I get settled and can pay more. Get myself back in school after I'm not just stacking loans on top of each other. Plth!

I finally bought "Blue Like Jazz" and "Searching for God Knows What" which I used to own. It was borrowed and not returned. Eh, that's ok though. It's a good book. Maybe they will find out what they need, or as any of us can hope at least be headed in that direction. =) It does create a lot of questions though. Well, questions I've had... just never asked. We are all looking for something. Some figure it out sooner than others. Sheesh! Some come out with plans, legs kicking, can't wait to run...Others are slower... O.K. I'm slower. Gotta make up my mind. Have a hard time making decisions. I mean, here's a tough one...Wendy's or Sonic? haha! =)  

Jumping back to Vickie and Derek. They are younger than me. Derek just turned 21 and Vickie's 18 birthday is this month. Married with children....or child. I'll be 23 in October.  Just a few months ago my cousin Ashley was married. (Remember? I was a bridesmaid.) These things always tend to get my family noticing me. Or, me being single with no children anyway. Blech. My cousin Justin, his wife and 3 children, are moving to Arkansas. More reminders. Biological clock...tick tock. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to be alone. I want to be married. Someday. I do not, however, want to be with someone just to not be single anymore. Even moreso, I do not want children yet. One day. But not yet. Confession...I was in the delivery room with Vickie. It's amazing afterwards holding the baby, but the process is scary. (I had to look away a few times.) Sure, women do it all the time...this I know...but it's scary.

I suppose I'll leave you with this...

September 17. September 19. September 22. September 29.

You curious? You want to know?? Huh?! Haha! Go ahead...ask. =) Answer your phone...Call me. (not saying any names.....=D

I like traveling. I do. Really...but enough is enough. It's not that I'm tired of flying but I want to go somewhere different. In the last few months I have been in North Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, Iowa, Oregon, Connersville and Indy, Indiana. How about Ireland?! I'd even go for Arizona. =)

Arkansas because at this time it's where my stuff is. (I don't know if I could call it home. I don't really have a home.) North Carolina to visit a friend who just came home from Iraq. Texas...ummm yeah. Iowa to visit a college that my brother is enrolling in and visit our cousin Brian and his wife Heather. Fun times with them and their monstrous dog Jack. Oregon to visit friends...and stuff. And onward back to Indiana.

As some might know my Grandpa Kelley has cancer. He doesn't have very long which is what brought us to Connersville. Honestly we all knew it would happen, this is the third time the cancer has come back, but that never really prepares you for when it does happen. He will be 80 in June.

 Right now I'm blogging from the library where I will leave to continue helping my cousin with her wedding this weekend. On the 14th I'll be testing for school. Placement testing to make sure I'm smrt enuf 4 college...(hookd on fonix rilly wrkd 4 me) After this we head back to Arkansas. Home of less than a year. I'm moving back to Arizona though. Not sure how or when yet but before it's all said and done I'll be back.

So yes, my cousin is getting married on Saturday. I'm a bridesmaid. Fancy dress and all. It's funny to think about it. I was almost her. Still single though. I love my aunt but....she has her mind on a few guys at the wedding to try and hook me up with. All younger than I am. I suppose that's not the biggest complaint but, you know how it goes. I know I look younger than them and that is what she is going on at this point. Woot! Family fun. I'll stay single for awhile, thanks. Only one thing might change my mind and I'm not saying what that is. =)

So the library computer has given me a signal for 10 minutes left so I'll wrap this up. More on me from whichever side of the world I'll be on in a few days.

Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on Xanga... Drop me a comment if you've got some ideas on what to do first - or just to say, "Hi!" :-)
