It has been a long time

I was told today by a friend (shout out to Jenny M!) that my blog is missed.  Yay!  I feel so loved!  Because of that, I am going to update my blog because, really, how interesting is my life.  

1) For those of you who don't know I am becoming slightly punk.  Not goth, because there is a difference.  Punk.  Dark hair with purple/reddish undertones or highlights, t-shirts, and leather wristlets.  I am so freaking excited.  I don't know if I can pull this off, but it is better to try when I am 31 than when I am 56.  Can you imagine me being punk at 56?  Ha.  I will do that - grandma with blue hair.  Perfect-o.

2)  I am watching Law and Order right now and Jeremy Sisto is going to be my new boyfriend.  FYI.  When I marry him, I may remember you - the little people in my life.

3)  I have had an eye twitch again.  I ate a banana today.  I thought the potassium was supposed to help, but the one banana did not.  After going on webmd a couple of days ago I have diagnosed myself with anemia, thyroid issues, or a brain tumor.  I heart webmd.  That non-person that you can click on to figure out your symptoms and then it tells you you have cat-scratch fever?  Seriously?  Or black-tongue disease (so disgusting!)?  and it ends up you just have a mosquito bite...I want to be webmd.

4)  I have started eating raisin bran in the morning.  I think it may be giving me gas.  I like it though.  It feels healthy but I don't know if it is.

Feel free to weigh in on any of my thoughts :)  

Hugs and Kisses to all.

I believe today is Saturday, April 25th, 2009.  It was supposed to rain today, but it has not.  I feel like I am starting this blog like a diary.  "Dear Diary, Today was a good day.  I was going to see my secret crush, but got a dog-sitting job so I didn't get to see him.  I heard he is a player and likes women.  Can I really like a flirt?  Diary, what should I do?".  For all of you great readers, that is a true story.  Shall I share?

There is a guy that I am secretly dating - it is so secret that he doesn't even know that we are dating :) He replied to a maybe to be at this event tonight, but I got a dog-sitting job and you all know I could use the money, so I took the job.  I don't know if secret crush showed up to event.  I was going to dress cute and all.  A couple of people said that I should be facebook friends with him, but that seems so forward!  Will he know that I like him?

(For those of you wondering, this blog is NOT written by a teenager, just a desperately lonely 31 year old who owns a cat :).  

Any advice?  

Also, to stay in the "guy -themed" blog.  I received the below from this guy I met on line and we had been emailing for awhile...Then he stopped.  I emailed him and wished him a happy easter...nothing on his side...until I got the below...any thoughts on WTF he is talking about???  

 erin thank you.I just wanna say I'm sorry I stopped talking to you it wasn't anything you said I had a lot of things going on.I hope your doing good and had a good easter.

Ah, how my man saga continues.  

More updates later.

Hugs and kisses to all :)

Hello wonderful followers!  It is a grand day today.  It is almost 1 month since losing my job (Friday is the anniversary).  And so much has happened and yet, I am so bored I want to shoot myself in the foot.  But, I cannot because my health insurance ran out at the end of March.  If I get sick, I have to get in a car accident so my car insurance can pay for it (please don't read this AAA).

In true fashion with this blog, I will post my 4 top thoughts.  Why 4 you may ask?  Because it is more that 3 and less than 5 and half of 8, which is my favorite number because it looks like a snowman.

1) I went on a horrendous date on Friday.  I met David from St. Paul on eharmony and, as is my lot with men, he lacked any type of personality.  By the end of the night I really did want to poke my eyes out with a spork.  I don't have a spork currently, so my next date (not with him) I will be bringing a fork and a spoon taped together to make a spork.  (BTW - a shout out to my HomeValu peeps - we were going to make a band awhile ago called "the diving sporks".  Great name huh?!).  Props to David from St. Paul (or Plymouth as I find out) - he has not stalked me since I did not return his text or phone call.  Thank you David from ???

2) I will be getting a new phone.  Probably today.  Apparently I can hear others talk, but they cannot hear me.  I am eligible for an upgrade in 2010, but, that being...8 months away?  I should probably get a new phone.  Not that I am that popular when it comes to talking on the phone, but in case of an emergency it might be nice to have (ah...but, Erin doesn't have insurance so emergencies cannot happen!)

3) Update on the FBI application - I got all of my transcripts together (more than anyone 1 person should have) but now I can't find the cover sheet that I am supposed to use to fax in my transcripts!  I am so distraught!  I think it is because I and a friend cleaned my apartment on Monday (in my friend Melissa's words last week my apt looked like it was "ransacked").  Really?  Aren't we being just a bit dramatic, Melissa?  Knocked over furniture and my belongings vomitted out of their drawers?  I prefer to use the term - lived in...

4) What piece of riveting info should I end in?  Ahhh...Unemployment seems to be taking a toll on my personal hygenie.  I shower well, but I am forgetting to brush my teeth and put on deoderant (and spelling seems to have taken a hit, too).  As I sit and type this, I think to myself - I forgot my deo.  People are nice enough to say they don't smell me, but as they step away from my space with a disgusted look on their face, I tend to doubt their honesty!  But, really, people used to not have teeth and reek like nobody's business and they still procreated...I think their is still hope for me :)

Well, Sarah E., this post is dedicated to you.  Thanks for the idea of blogging today.  I know it has made a difference in the world.  

Love you all, 

Erin Lynn Kelly

It is not day 2, but still the life of the unemployed.

Apparently, I am not very good at keeping up my blog - which I am sure is disappointing for most everyone.  ESPECIALLY - the one person who is following me (thank you C for making me feel special :).  I had two conversations this weekend where people read other people's blogs.  I need to start that and will commit to you now to do a better job at updating mine - because I know you care deeply :)

Let me hit the highlights of the last few weeks:

1) My friend Sara (hey - oh) and I are trying to form a team to be on the family feud!  How much freakin' fun would that be.  The one dilemna - none of the teammembers are related to that.  So, that may need to be remedied by a couple of adoptions and a couple of marriages by June.  June is when the tryouts are.  I will let you know if I am being adopted or adopting or getting married.  I will be registering at Target for this special event.

2) I have fallen in love with "The Colbert Report" and, thanks to being unemployed, I can see it everyday at 9:30 am!  How wonderful is that?  It reminds me of the office season 2 - which was my favorite of all seasons, so far.  Jim had his best wings that year...ah...Jim.

3) I have a date coming up on Friday.  I met this guy on Eharmony - David from St. Paul.  We are going to go to the Bulldog.  I am kind of nervous!  What am I going to wear? What am I going to say?  If anyone wants to come to the bulldog, hide behind a newspaper and wear an earpiece that tells me what to say for conversation, I would be completely open to it!  Help me filter!

4) Lastly...I decided to deep clean my apartment.  Translated - this means pull everything out of every nook and cranny in the apt and throw it in the middle of the living area and stare at it.  I have slipped 8 times on scrapbook paper that is just laying on the floor.  I had someone offer to come watch gracie when i go to WI this week but I am too embarressed for her to see my place.  Yes, people know I am slobberly, but can one be too slobberlicious?

Peace out yo -

Erin Lynn Kelly the first.

Umemployment Day 1

This is going to be the blog of my unemployed life.  I doubt many will read this - because if I was still employed, I wouldn't be reading this.  If you find me pretty hysterical (as hysterical as I find myself), maybe you will come back.

Day #1 - Pretty exciting.  So exciting that I should only hit the high points. 

1) I ate some chips and the salt hurt the place where my upper and lower lips connect.  I wonder if that place has a name.  The area between the nose and lips is a divet?  divit?  how do you spell divit? or does it have a real name?  Anyways my lip connection as I will now be calling it hurts.  I must have sensitive lip connectors.

2) I am watching "Life" on NBC waiting for L&O to start.  One of the guest stars was on another show but I don't remember what it was.  I want to say "Full House" but I could be wrong.  I used to love that show!  I wanted to be DJ and marry Uncle Jesse, which would not have been good because he would be my uncle and that is just wrong...in case you were wondering.

3) I did apply as a special agent for the FBI.  I wonder if I should be writing this blog because I am sure they are going to be searching the internet for anything about me.  Maybe they will be pleasantly intrigued by this blog or maybe I will stop blogging.  By the way FBI agent reading this - I love America and would do a great job defending the country and taking care of the Americans.  

4) I kept having to remind myself what day it is.  It is Wednesday.  I think.  I am pretty sure my days are going to be running together.  That isn't going to be good as I am sure I have many important appointments coming up.  Tomorrow is Thursday, Today is Wednesday, and Yesterday was Tuesday.  I may use that as my new sign off.

I want to leave you wanting more.  I do need to go reprogram my 1980's VCR cuz it didn't change during Daylight savings and I missed the first half of The Biggest Loser.  

Hugs and Kisses, 

Erin
