I'm Addicted....i'm getting old!!

I'm Addicted to coffee (Starbucks) thanks to...a nameless person!!!
Growing up my dad would always try to get me to drink his coffee, and I would always refuse or spit it back out. When I would go to my grandparents all my lil cousins would gather around the bar and have my grandma make them coffee.. i would just be satisfied with my coke.
When I was little I was always asked "krystel do you like coffee?" i would answer
"no it's for old people"
As i got older and when I was asked the question "krystel do you like coffee?" i would answer
"i'm not that old yet"

NOW....i find myself wanting a flippen coffee....not just any coffee, a flippen Starbucks drink! I've tried several of their drinks, and now my fav is the "white choc. mocha..OH YEAH!
I thought I would never ever get to this point in my life, but I guess i'm getting old! I will be 26 in less than 2 months...I guess it's about time to start drinkin coffee huh?

Speaking it into existence...

For about two weeks now i've been facing a fight that i'm daily asking God to help me with. Yesterday at lunch I needed to just talk to someone about what i've been going through and I spoke something into existence and now i'm having to face a even bigger fight! Between Pastor Boggs and Pastor Harveys messages, I have really had a lot of things hit home. Yesterday when I spoke this into existence the devil must of heard me because today the devil gave me a huge challenge that I wasn't prepared for! Now i'm having to fight double and believe me it's harder! It's going to be a struggle, but I know that I have come to far and God is in control of my life and that I will win this fight. I won't let the devil win! I will be the last one standing at the end of the fight!

Totally feeling my roots today...

Today i had some blonde moments....

I was driving home from work on watterson expressway and the truck in front of me ran over some "caution tape". Traffic was soo bad so I had to run over it too, there was no way around it!! Well that was the worst thing to do..lol....I looked in my rear view mirror and there was a long string of caution tape trailing behind my car...at least 6 car links long.....tooo funny..all the cars around me were staring...all i could do was laugh.

Then after i get off the exit, i was sitting at a light and some guy asked me to roll down my window.. he said "what state is the grand canyon in?"..( i had no clue)i answered ..."Canada"..lol..the guy started laughing and said "it's in the united states girl" i just laughed....feeling like a total blond...i was on my cell phone so i asked the girl i was talking to...she was like hold up let me check i just found this out the other day... she said it was Nevada so i told him Nevada...he said .."thanks....that's it!!!" and pulled off
So i researched it and we were both wrong..it's Arizona...hahaha
*** I didn't know I've never been there!!ha**

Jeremy's wedding

One of my cousins got married yesterday, and it was a great wedding! The bride's dress was beautiful!!
The dj asked all the single girls to come to the dance floor, well I don't ever like to put my self out there as being "single" I hate being labeled as "single"..so I sat there while all they women flooded to the dance floor. Then my aunt yells out "krystel your single now" ...crap..i was busted...so i had to go out there and stand in the middle of all these yelping women and wait for the bride to throw the bouquet. The first time she threw it some lil kid caught it, but the bride said she was too young. The second time she thew it, it landed right beside me and this other lady...we both looked at each other and said "i don't want it"...lol it was too funny..and then out of nowhere here came one of my aunt's diving across the floor to get it..

As i was standing out there i thought to myself...do i really want this? yeah right? i like being single..but i don't like being alone either..living alone sucks... I'm almost 26 and I still haven't found the "mr right" that everyone talks about but it's not like it's going to make or break me either.. I pray everyday that God will send me someone and i really don't need a bouquet of flowers to tell me if i'm going to be next to get married or not. Maybe I missed out on my opportunity and should have dived for the flowers but I didn't and well I really could care less. God will take care of me:) My point is: throwing flowers at a wedding is kinda dumb, if you really think about it!lol

This would bite...

I just aquired a new pet peeve

Today when I was getting ready to draw a patient, he proceeded to pull out his handkerchief and blow his nose. I started to think about how utterly disgusting those things are. Handkerchiefs are fowl!! They are nothing but germ carriers, and people walk around with them in their pocket's. Yuckooo! Well that's all I had to say, i needed to vent! (just use Kleenex's..and throw them away when ur done:)

My new toy

I came home today...and this brand new fire extinguisher was sitting at my door! It was in a new package and all. I opened it up and was like "hey lil fella..let's try u out!!!" Well I noticed that that gauge was pointed to empty..Darn!! I hope my apartment don't catch on fire tonight! So i called the fire dept. and they are going to send me out a new one...:)

Decision's.. Decision's....

I've been thinking for the past few weeks about getting a new tattoo! I don't know what I really want to get though or where I want to get it. Right now I only have one...(picture below -it's on my wrist and it's really small) I think I want one on my foot but not sure ..What do u think???? Do u have any??? Do u want any???

Welcome back bloggers!

Welcome back to the bloggers who’ve spent the last week in Uganda! Welcome back to me too,I've been on a blog fast for the last 7 days...and it's good to be back!! It was awesome to be able to just not worry about my blog for a week and to see what was going on in Uganda!

I was amazed at the various video's and testiomys that the bloggers shared. I had many humbling nights, when I just sat and thought about my own life and how I have it sooo good! I complain so much about the daily things in my life, but if I really had to put myself in their shoes I wouldn't know how to act. I'm such a materialistic and sometimes a selfish person and I've decided to work on it from here on out!

So what's been going on in my life the past week???...well lets see here....

*Louisville had the the big snow..finally!! I lost my diamond earrings sledding, so i went this weekend to the mall and purchased me some new ones, well i lost them today (so i'm going to work on that materialistic thing and NOT buy any more..ha) i'm sooo mad

*Valentines day- came and went...it kinda sucked it was the first year i haven't had a valentine in 4 years...BUT....I have a stalker at work that sent me flowers, and well since i'm a floater at work and I never know where i'm going to be from day to day he sent them to the wrong place...go figure tooo funny.. oh yeah and he's like 50years old; so i don't want to hear "awww how sweet"!

*Those of you who know ....about my mom's best friend that was in the motorcycle wreck during the toys for tots run that was fighting for her life, well she passed away yesterday. Remember Karen Jeckles family and my mom in your prayers! My mom was going up to the hospital at least once a week to pray for her. So my mom is taking it pretty hard. Funeral is going to be on Thursday and it's in the same place where my mom's mom was laid out...so that's even more devastating for my mom.

*I'm so missing my best friend Jonell that moved to Texas. She called over the weekend and she hates it! At first she loved it b/c it was all new to her, but now she is so over it. She's only been there since the 7th...ha

*Happy President's Day~here's a photo i took a few mths back..i saved it just for today:) (sam and i were in a store and i put on this xtra small vest, it had american flags on it an also red, white and blue stars... and I said "hey Sam happy President's day" she cracked up laughing soo hard and so did these older ladies around us.

Well sorry for the long blog, but i haven't blogged in 7 days, so I had to get it all in!!! Hope everyone has a great week..God Bless!!!

February is "Share Your Love" for Compassion

This is Maxmillian...he's a child that I have sponsored from Kenya....When I found out about Compassion God layed it upon my heart that I needed to sponsor a child so I prayed about it and asked God to direct me to the right child. I searched for hours looking through pictures until I finally found Maxmillian...and God said that's the one! I will be posting more picture as soon as I get them in the mail.


So in 5 days my blog will be silent. Now, some would say, "how is that any different than most days?" Well... Feb 10th - 18th this blog will be silent except for a few links.
Why?
Good question.
Click here http://www.compassion.com/default.htm to read what is going on. In a effort to drive what little traffic I get to these other bloggers - I will be "Blog Fasting". I hope some of my fellow bloggers will do the same during this time.

I'm Special

I'm in Cincy the next few days for work. When I found the hotel...I noticed that the road it was on was named after my last name...how ironic was that??

Must be an Indiana thing

Well folks I saw another "I love my goats" bumper sticker today....

McDonalds at another level....

This week i'm working in Corydon...well I never know what's going to happen here. I always seem to find something amusing! Well today a co-worker and I went up to McDonalds to get her a sweet tea, as we were approaching the drive thru speaker we saw a worker running around getting everyone's money and taking it to the window of the person who was taking our order. My co-worker asked him what he was doing, he said that he was trying to make it faster service...lol...it was too funny..we ended up spending our lunch hour in the parking lot watching him dart around in the rain ..it was hilarious!!!

Highlights from today...

*Today I went to the Newport Aquarium for the first time! It was pretty neato mosquito!

*Also I tried sushi for the first time...it was actually good!

*Groundhog saw his shadow...6 more weeks of winter..go figure

*I also went to my best friends going away party, and gave her a picture frame ...with a collage of picture's of us. As I was putting it together today I became pretty teary eyed. Considering we have been best friends for over 15 years it's going to be really hard telling her bye. This Thursday she leaves for Texas so i'm going to go over there then and say my goodbyes!

*I had my monthly bunco party with my bunco girls, I had Becca come along as a sub, and she won! Way to go Becca!!!

*On the way home from Bunco I decided to speed, and I got pulled over doing 16 over...I was sooo mad at myself considering I just got my license back. Man!!!! I told the officer that I had two uncles on the police force and he said that if I had them call him tonight then he would take care of it....WELLLL...I can't get a hold of my uncle's, I was told that they are both off tonight and are at a poker game.. There goes my chance....darn!!!
