30 Day Song Challenge day 02 - your least favorite song: This one was also way too hard because generally if I don't like something, I don't listen to it, so nothing real extreme came to mind. Sooooo I went with a song that is kind of annoying and really makes you wonder.. wtf?

229

So, I decided to do the 30 day Song Challenge on facebook and I think that sharing it here too, will be good. Let me keep better track of it.

The first day is your favorite song, and the truth is I don't have one. I have a LOT of songs that I will listen to on repeat, but there isn't one single song that is my all-time favorite. So, for my first choice I chose a song that has been one of my favorites for over a decade. Angel by Sarah McLachlan. I used to listen to this song on repeat for over 5 years. I listened to it to fall asleep, to study by, to do anything to. I don't know what it is, but the first chord of this song always takes me back and makes me feel good.

Enjoy.

Lots of Love,
Kristi

There's nothing quite like a drive with my sister.

Sooooo.... I've been sick to my stomach all day. Sometimes I really hate my life. And it's funny cuz that just means I've been hating myself all this time. I say that because I'm the one that has made all my life choices. So, kind of like they always say you make your bed and now you have to lie in it.

The only problem I see with that theory is that you cannot control assholes. I'm so tired of assholes!!!!! Ugh!!!!!!!

I just want life to change!! I've been trying to do that all year.

Sigh

So, Wyatt has his first baseball practice tonight. I'm really nervous to see how he does. He could be awful and he could be decent. You just never know. Ack!!!!!

Got a glove and ball and I guess we'll see how we do...

I'll keep you posted.

So, I'm not really sure how this happened...but I didnt post last night. Honestly, here I am trying to be diligent and once again I screw up.

Reality here folks? It happens. Moving on.

I'm going to share some music today. Since I clearly have no mind of my own. But, since I'm also currently involved with The Vampire Diaries as previously mentioned, I'm sharing people's videos of Damon and Elena because they should totally be the couple.

Ian Somerhalder is GORGEOUS!!!!! Seriously that man is sexy as all get out!!

Enjoy

Can I please lose weight already? Seriously?! I know I'm not supposed to be thinking about that, but in reality it's ALL I can think about. Grrrr

I just want my life to be different and right now it's not different it's just depressing. Blah

Sorry for the constant complaining.

Kristi

I just don't have anything to say today. I'm feeling really sad and disappointed in my life. But I'm still trying to remember to write something down each and every day. I hope you have a better day than me. Lots of love , Kristi

Note of the day : music truly is the lifeblood of man.

I'm just testing this out. I know that I have to get used to using this phone so I'm practicing in a place that no one really pays attention. Everyone knows I wanted this phone and now I have it. Whoo hoo!!!!


So, here I am using the iPhone touch screen and it's a little slow but all in all not bad, just have to get used to typing everything out again.

I'm bound and determined not to complain about this phone. Obviously, I had a lot of problems with my droid,but it did have some cool features. I'm just hoping the next generation of iPhone will correct these minor infractions.

I hope you all have a beautiful night.

Lots of love,
Kristi

So, Wyatt has been bugging me and bugging me about playing an instrument. This is something that I'm all over because I feel like music and anything related to music is so important. I told him that I would take him to a music store and let him look around. Anything he decided that he wanted to give a go, I said we'd look into purchasing and lessons.

I'm super excited about this, but also skeptical. I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money for Wyatt to give up. Well, let me tell you it was a little crazy. He really wanted to try the trumpet ( or any brass instrument really) so Ben at West Music let him give it a go.

Okay people, he held a note for what had to be at least 45 seconds. I think Ben's jaw dropped to the floor. He kept saying that Wyatt showed a natural aptitude for the instrument and highly recommended we consider it as his first instrument. I dunno how I feel really, but I definitely think this is a good outlet for him. I'm going to do a little more research and see what happens.

So many good things could come from the ability to play an instrument. I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed.


Lots of Love,
Kristi

240- More New Songs

I thank Chuck for all the new songs that are now a part of my repertoire. I've fallen in love with quite a few of them.

Then there's Vampire Diaries, which also has brought many new songs to my life.  It's wonderful.


I just have to stop letting this get to me so bad.

It's days like today that I wish I'd never met some people. I realize that there's a reason for everything. I have to believe that there is some fate and destiny involved in the things that happen to us in our lives.

Today, I just can't handle it. I don't deserve to be treated like garbage, I don't deserve to be talked to the way I'm talked to. It hurts. I HATE that it hurts.

I'm trying to change my life and I feel like it's a joke. If that only hadn't happened. if I only hadn't taken that path.

I hate it. I have to get better. I just want to be better.

241

Ohhhh Kristi is a terrible person. Yep, one day my friends, I will learn to

1. Say NO, and have someone actually listen to me.
2. Keep my damn hands to myself.
3. Not judge my worth, by really stupid things.


Sorry for the late post. Been a weird day.

Lots of Love,
Kristi

So, I had this experience with the Hershey company. I wanted to share my thoughts. I had a reaction to Hershey's Strawberry Syrup, I couldn't find anything in the ingredients list that would contain gluten, but I definitely had a reaction. So, with this new outlook on life I emailed t hem just to let them know and to see if possibly the "natural flavorings" were gluten based.

I was completely surprised and gratified when I received an email response. They apologized for my reaction and wanted to assure me that this should not have happened as this product should not contain gluten. I just kept thinking to myself it was really nice and excellent customer service for this large company to address my concerns and to acknowledge my situation. I was content with this response, but here's the thing folks, Hershey took it even another step further.

A couple of days after I received my email, I received a phone call from them as well. I didnt recognize the number so I didn't answer. However, a nice woman named Cindy from the Hershey company left me a message stating they wanted to check and see how I was feeling. To once again, apologize for the reaction that I'd had and to make sure they documented the occurrence.

Are you kidding me here? This was starting to really strike me as a company that cares. So, I called them back. I spoke with a gentleman, gave him the incident code Cindy left me and we discussed my reaction. He immediately said, Oh okay you're Celiac. So, they are aware of the condition. I said that I didnt have Celiac Disease, but that I was highly gluten intolerant. Just to be on the safe side. Anyhow, he took down all my informatoin, asked if I still had the bottle of syrup. I did, so I gave him all the information, he thanked me. Apologized again for my reaction and said how they appreciated my calling them back. Once again, I was surprised and very impressed by the company's follow-through.

However, my dear friends, that was not the end of it. I just received in the mail and envelope from the Hershey Company. I thought when I saw it, it was going to be a coupon or something. Which, again would have been very cool, but you want to know what it was? It was a check. That's right, they sent me a check to "reimburse me for the product that I was unable to use." $10 check from the Hershey Company for my bad experience.

Listen up friends, this is excellent customer service. This is beyond caring about the consumer. Hershey Company, I am impressed. Keep up the good work. We will continue to purchase your products.


Thanks a Million,
Kristi
