An extremely spastic account of my thoughts for me to remember what I was thinking at least once a year. Please note that every single word here is my opinion. Simply and straightforward it is my thoughts on whatever I might come across. Its not meant to change anyone's mind, move mountains or part oceans. It is simply what I am thinking at the time. So, please do not be offended.

I am tired. I am frustrated. I am annoyed. Yeah, I’m
sure no one is surprised. That seems to be my anthem. I’m notoriously
pessimistic and sarcastic in my day-to-day life. I’m 29 years old.
I’m living in this time-warp inside my head that pretends to be still 19
or maybe 21. Whichever suits you. The point is…I haven’t been
living my life, I’ve been surviving it. That is NOT how you should go
through your life. Just going from day to day and not really experiencing the
gift we’ve been given. There are so many things that I am not sure of,
life, death, faith. However, with that said, should I hide inside my head and
not experience the things I could be experiencing?
(sigh) Wouldn’t that be wonderful? If we could all
just win a lottery or something along those lines would’nt that just
jump-start this ridiculous economy that everyone keeps talking about? Its too
bad that isn’t an option. We are stuck in the endless cycle that is
pretty much the same as, I believe, most people live in. Go to work, pay the
bills you can pay and do what you can to survive. It’s the first step in
surviving instead of thriving. In going through the motions and EXPERIENCING
the life you have. Thursday, December 29, 2011

Another day, another dollar. Oh wait I have no dollars. Lol so, tomorrow my parents are going on vacation to Florida and I'm going to miss my mom like crazy. I really hate it when she's not around. Its awful. I think most of it is selfish, since she helps me so much. The other is just that I talk to my mom every day. I don't like her being gone.
So what should I ask her to bring me back? Sweatshirt? Jacket? I dunno. I'll have to think about it.
Happy hump day

354-Annoyance
Someone please tell me why, when asked what time he was picking up his son, the response I got via text message was "Y" you got it folks, that was literally it. What a fucking JOKE!!!! Ugh. Can you maybe try just a little bit harder to actually show some interest in your child and maybe to NOT be a gigantic fucking asshole? I would really appreciate that. Thanks so much.
On a brighter note....14 days on my weaning from Mt Dew and I'm still holding strong at 2 per day.
Have a fabulous day.

Today was Wyatt's Winter Program. It was adorable. Seriously sometimes that kid just makes me smile. He can sure be an ass, but wow when he's charming he's really charming.
Makes me wish I was a better mom.

Today I unloaded a lot of feelings on my friend. I don't know what got into me. I'm just so fed up with struggling everyday. Its depressing and makes me hate my life.
I do appreciate what I have. I know I have a lot more than other people. I just have always had this problem. I'm hoping against hope that next year is a better year for Kristi Lynn Harvey. Keep you fingers crossed.
Much Love,
Kristi

Frustration
![]() |
| Wyatt-When he ISN'T acting like the Devil's Spawn |
I spent the past 30-45 minutes going over his spelling words with him, why so long, you ask? Because no matter how many times I would tell him how to properly spell a word he couldn't do it. He kept spelling it wrong. I'm soooooo sick of this. Why, if I was going to be left alone for the rest of my life, couldn't God have at least given me a child who was as smart as me? I know how that sounds, I'm perfectly aware it isnt PC to say such a thing. Well, too damn bad. Its true. I want my son to have things come easier. Why couldn't he be just a smidge more like me? I honestly can't remember a time that something like reading or spelling was hard for me. Math, yes, I remember that being difficult. It makes me so angry. I just get so fed up that he doesn't even try. You have to understand that he CAN do it. Its just that he is too damn lazy to try. I'll tell you this much, if it was something he cared about he would remember it word for word. I know how his mind works and I've tried to get him to not be lazy and nothing I do works. NOTHING. I want him to be happy but this is driving me insane. See, I'm a terrible Mom. The only consolation I have is that I do everything in my life to make sure he is taken care of to the best of my ability. Maybe I need to try harder.I'm just so frustrated. Wish me luck I guess. I do love my son, and I'm sad that we can't share this little piece of life. Its such a hard lesson to learn that your child will never be what you thought in your head and pushing them that way just kills their spirit. (sigh)

Sigh I guess I just have to accept my faults.
More on that later.

P.s. I didn't fail today!!

I'm still feeling sick, better than earlier in the week, but not 100%. I'm not sure what the plan is here, I'm going one day at a time, but so far I'm keeping my promise. Maybe I'll write something more substantial later.

365 Days of Change: The Big 3 -OH Project.
Hi, my name is Kristi, I am seriously overweight and I have some seriously large issues. My new brilliant idea, which we all agree isn't brilliant because I will probably give up after about 2 days. UGH I really do hate that about myself. I never finish anything. Anyhow, not only am I overweight, but I have many other things I'd like to change about myself. I'm very unhealthy. I have attitude issues, I get depressed easily and well, this is it. I turned 29 years old today. December 11, 2011. I have 365 days to change my life before I turn the dreaded 3 OH. So here and now I'd like to challenge myself to change my life. This time next year, I'd like to have met the goals set forth below. I'm writing them out and perhaps when I look back in 365 days, maybe it wont be as bad as I think. So, I'm going to challenge myself to do quite a few things. Even if the dreams aren't accomplished then I want that documented as well. Here are the challenges: To write on this blog every single day over the next 365 days. Even if its just a "hello, I ate ham sandwiches today." It will be a very interesting thing to read my life in retrospect. So that is my challenge. The other challenges are more dares and desires. They are my hopes and dreams for before I turned 30. Everyone knows what bucket list is, this is my 3 OH list. I'm sure I'll keep adding more as the days go on.
1. Lose at lease 30 lbs
2. Cut back to 1 Mt Dew/day.
3. Visit and stand in the Ocean, preferably somewhere in California
4. Take better care of my body. Put on lotion every day, start caring what I look like again.
5. Get the house completely ready for the possibility of remodel. Try to be more neat. Make the house presentable. Try to be more like Mom.
6. ...and so many more.
I really want to try this. I turned 29 today, and no, it is NOT the end of the world, but it is the end of the Kristi Lynn of today. Starting now, starting this minute I want things to change. I know that it is NOT going to happen overnight. I know that I'm one of the most stubborn mule-headed people there is, but I cant keep going like this. I HAVE to make a change. I'm hoping by making this change as part of my birthday and the thought of turning 30 instead of as a new year's resolution, that I might not fail as quickly.
Kristi Lynn, Be strong, Be wise. Be OK. You need to do something to change your life. You cant keep going on like you are. Wyatt is 7 years old and you cant even walk down the street with him. You're grouchy all the time and it isnt supposed to be like this. Little steps, in the right direction, are still steps. Let's give this a whirl because God knows we've tried everything else. So far, you've held yourself accountable. Its time to keep it up. Change your life, Change it and see what happens over the next 365 days.
Something's got to give.
With Love,
Kristi Lynn

Review of "Heart's Blood" by Juliet Marillier
Kristi's Review of Heart's Blood by Juliet Marillier: There are SPOILERS
Just a few things quick, its a historical paranormal fiction story. It takes place in Ireland I'm thinking thousands of years ago. Caitrin is our heroine and Anluan the hero. It boils down to a strange and yet different mixture of Beauty and the Beast with twists of Lord of the Rings and other well-known sci-fi/fantasy adventures thrown in for good measure.
Short version: I liked it. I didn't absolutely adore it, but I definitely enjoyed reading it. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Long Version: I liked it, but wow were there areas I found remarkably annoying. Let me start off by saying that I really enjoy period piece's set in Ireland. I'm a huge Ireland fan. However, if you are going to put names in your story that the average human being will NOT be able to pronounce, please include a glossary of phonetic pronunciations. I just hate not knowing if the voices in my head are saying it correctly. I did trudge on though, making up names if I had to. So to the story, Anluan's people in the land of Whistling Tor are pretty much under a curse. They've been plagued by what is known as "the host" for almost a hundred years. If the host leaves Whistling Tor ( tor also being a hill of sorts) dire things happen and many lives are taken. The Chieftain of the hill at the time is responsible for keeping the host under control. Anluan, is of course, the chieftain. Anluan is afflicted by the tragedy of his father's alleged suicide and also from permanent damage to his right side from seizures as a child. This was a bit much for me, but also what contributed to the knowledge that this "story" was based on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. Needless to say, girl falls in love with boy, boy is difficult and surly until one day voila she's wonderful and amazing and changes his life. Isn't that always the way? Caitrin changes Anluan's life and demeanor and convinces him to rally the troops (the Host and townsfolk together) for a fight to the death against the Normans. (English I'm supposing) Due to his worry for Caitrin, he turns mean to her and sends her away, she of course believes him in true Historical Heroine fashion, and goes away to her home to live her life and blah blah. Caitrin reunites with her sister who's husband has died and who now has a little baby to raise on her own. They get back their home from an evil relative who sought to discredit Caitrin by demeaning and having her son beat her. Caitrin has a vision of Anluan under attack and has to go back to Whistling Tor.
So, hopefully I didn't give away to many spoilers, even though I know noone is reading this. I just want to say after re-reading what I wrote that I make it seem like I didnt enjoy the story. I apologize for that, because this truth is that I did like the story, it kept me interested enough to complete it in 2-3 sittings. Its just that I have to call it like I read it and this is definitely Fluff Stuff. Neat re-telling of a classic story and nothing too disturbing or horrible about it. There were some even nice twists. I was very happy about Emer( pronounced ayv-er, see what I mean?) and GearrĂ³g. So, read the story if you're in for a fun bit of fluff that will make you smile and occasionally laugh out loud. However, I suggest you visit this page http://www.julietmarillier.com/books/hbpronunciationguide.html for help with pronunciation.
Cheers,
Kristi

The Truth About Truth
Here's the harsh, bitter reality folks: Honesty is the best policy= Biggest lie you've ever heard. Its soooooo funny to me that the people spouting that lie are the ones living out the best double lives. The people who are telling you to be truthful and that lies are against nature, are full of SHIT. What group of people can you name that are always seeming to spout the virtues of honesty? Can you think of a few groups? I can think of at least 3 off the top of my head.
1.Politicians
2.Priests/Ministers/Any Religious affiliations
3.Teachers/Schools
4.HR Departments
5.Car Repair shops of any kind.
More on that later...

Why?
Why is that? He gets to screw over every single person that he comes into contact with and I get to do nothing. I just get to deal with the consequence of my mistake from here on out. Its NOT fair. Now, I know that I must have done something truly awful in one of my past lives, my sister says I killed Jesus. I dont know, but I have the worst luck of anyone I know. And really Cosmos? Sagittarians are supposed to be lucky for crying out loud. Its ridiculous really. So, Dan gets to have a fabulous life, get married to a GREAT person and live happily ever after. (so, fyi does his sister who is also NOT such a great person) Now, what do I get to do? I get to struggle every single day for nothing. I get to be alone and lonely every single day. I get to keep getting older and older with no silver lining coming anytime soon in my cloud-strewn sky. I'm not healthy. I'm overweight (uhh duh) I'm miserable all the time and here I am writing this down and if anyone were to ever come across it they would just wonder why I'm such a freaking whiner. I am a whiner. But what the hell am I supposed to do to make it different?
I've tried so many different things and with 30 looming on the horizon I'm not sure I can handle it. 30. The year that so many of us dread with every fiber of our being. I dont want to be 30. I dont want to be old. I dont want my life to continue to be as depressing as it has been all these long years. What have I accomplished? What can I say about myself? What is it exactly that I have going for me?
Oh that's right, the one thing I used to be able to do reasonably well, sing, I can barely do anymore and soooo many people do so much better than me. I am irrational about communication and I like things to be my way all the damn time. Let's see what else? I'm soooo not attractive and yet I am extremely judgemental. I have no right to be judgemental. I have no right to be any way really. But I am know I am on this downword spiral forever and I thought I'd finally found the thing that was going to get me out of it. I thought I had found him. The guy I could bring into my life and finally bring home to my family. But no. He ran away scared, because lets face it. When forced to confront the idea of spending eternity with Kristi Lynn Harvey, who wouldnt run? Yes, this is probably the most depressing journal-like entry I've ever done, but I just cant stop typing. I'm soooo tired of feeling like this all the time. And I definitely have things to be greatful for, but I just dont effing care right now. I am mad and sad and disappointed in my life and I'm tired of feeling like there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. And why for God's sake, since I"m on this rant anyways, do men who are attached and by no means can be an active part of my life, find me so damn attractive? Why is it, that they flock to me to give them the sexual gratification that they cant seem to find at "home?"
Just explain these things to me oh void. Just tell me why my life has turned out the way it is. I dont understand it. I dont WANT to be this way. I dont WANT to be sad all the time and feel like I've failed my life. I've failed as a person and I've officially lost. I've lost my ability to do any damn thing about it.
I hate my life.
The End.

BLAH
P.S. I've started WW with the new Points Plus program. I went strong for 2 weeks and lost weight, the past 2 weeks however, I've....failed miserably. I was just hungry all the damn time. But I weigh entirely too much to not do something about this situation I've found myself in. We are planning a vacation to Florida in November. I have to have lost weight by then.
Okay that was a random enough blogspot. lol
Happy Monday!!!
