It's still July,

which means this post is okay. I haven't missed a month again. Actually the only reason I'm posting now is because I promised Lisa I would today. So, here we go.

I am in the process of attempting to get a job somewhere. I've applied to a few places, but no one's gotten back to me yet. I want to go out again soon and hand in resumes to some more places. I want a job. Summer is so boring. I wake up, and have nothing to do. Well, I can read or play piano or sew or something. And I could work with Diego. But reading too much at once makes me restless, I only know five songs on the piano, and I haven't found any new ones I'd like to know and for a while I wasn't able to sew because I didn't have the right zipper to continue and I didn't know how to thread a bobbin on my mom's machine. It was weird. There's some knobby thingamahoozawhatsit that I had to pull out to make it work. Who knew? And working with Diego doesn't take too long, several minutes at the most so he doesn't get over-tired. I just want to have something purposeful to do.

I saw Transformers yesterday with Tash and Chrys. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting it to be, but it turned out to be a pretty fun film. Long, but fun.

I had a weird dream some night. I don't remember which night it was, so don't ask. I just remembered it when I was reading what I had posted before. I mentioned something about how Kyra is growing so fast. Well, in my dream, she had all her teeth and had lost one already! And even then, right after the tooth fell out, the one underneath it was halfway in. It was weird. And scary. Not quite sure what it means. I'm actually surprised that I remembered it. Usually I don't remember my dreams. Until much, much later, or if it occurs again. That happens to me. I have dreams that I remember having when I was younger, but they've changed somehow, with different people or people added or people who were there before but didn't have faces or something. I don't know. It's odd.

I love Chrystal right now. Well, not that I hate her the rest of the time, but right now I'm uberly loving her. Yes, I just said uberly. Deal. Anyhoo, the reason I like her so darn much right now is because she has very kindly downloaded some games onto my computer that we used to have way back when. A really long time ago. I actually didn't play them much, if at all, since I was so y0ung and my (wonderful) selfish older siblings hogged them all the time. Anyway, the games are Pharaoh's Tomb, Commander Keen, and Crystal Caves. Awesome games. It's taken some time to get used to them, since I don't think I've really played them before, but they're so much fun! I love it. I still pretty much suck at Crystal Caves and Commander Keen, but I'll improve. Hopefully. That would be sad if I didn't, because these are games my siblings played when they were quite a bit younger than I am now.

So.....I think that's it right now. Fantabulous, hey? Yeah, I'm boring. Now maybe you understand why I don't update as often anymore. But, again, I will try. So, on that note, oh yeah!

I don't believe I've mentioned my driving lessons at all. Well, as some may know, I attained my learner's license in March, and soon afterward completed in-class sessions of the Young Drivers course. I am now doing in-car lessons with an instructor about once a month. I think I've had three so far. I really don't like them. They're so stressful and just so....I don't even know. But it's scary. I think next time he's going to make me drive on the freeway. I've never driven on the freeway before. It's scary. And fast. And scary. And I don't like his new car. The old one had a really touchy gas pedal, which was similar to the van's so it was familiar and I was used to working with it. In the new car it takes quite a bit to get my speed up, and it's harder to notice when I do speed up gradually and go above the limit.... but it only happened once. That he noticed. It's not fun being a learner. People are so rude (Jared, Chrys)! Although I understand why some people have almost no patience with us, at the same time you never know how long a person with their L has been driving. With an N you know it's been at least a year, so obviously they know how to drive. But with an learner, they could have been driving for a day or a year. You never know, really. I don't really know where I'm going with this. I don't think I am, really. So I'll just stop. Now.

Interesting dream - makes me wish Kyra would stay a baby forever!:) I love you posts - you're so funny. Maybe I'll come over early today and play some of those games - see how much i remember:) Love you!

that's us... said...

keen rocks!!! oh that brings back memories, i'll have to get them on my computer:)

Charlotte said...

This post made me giggle :) Ah- the good 'ol days of Commander Keen and Pharoah's Tomb :) brings back good memories.
Don't worry - the driving gets easier and easier - eventually you'll be able to drive all the way home and not remember it cause it was so automatic and you were thinking of other things :) (maybe that's not a good thing but it happens to me all the time - okay scratch that - driving gets easier but you should always concentrate on the road :))
Good luck with the job hunting.

Yvonne said...

Hi Kaeli,
Just wanted to let you know that I've tagged you. Read my blog for more info. Luv ya!

Chrys said...

Yeah I know - I rock. It took me forever to get those games for you. Quite the hassle. I know Fonz already tagged you, but I did too. Now you get to do it twice! Haha, just kidding.

Yvonne said...

Hi Kaels,
You need to update to people on the goings-on in your life. Plus you've been tagged twice and have yet to respond to that. Love you and I'll see you when we get back!

Yvonne said...

Hi Kaeli!
How's the job going? I miss you beautiful. I figure if I write you a message on here you might update your blog:) Update your blog . . . update you blog . . :) (i was trying to hypnotize you there) love you! see you Tuesday!

Chrys said...

So, August is almost over and you haven't posted yet. You'd better get on it or Yvonne and I will keep badgering you!

Vanessa said...

I agree that August is almost over, so I will join the club and continue badgering you along with Chrystal and Yvonne.

Looking forward to an update in the next few days!!

Vanessa said...

only two and a half more days left in august...

Vanessa said...

One more day!! And i know you've been online, cuz you keep approving my comments.. haha

Chrys said...

You missed it! August 2007 is gone forever and you didn't post about it. Shame on you :)

Vanessa said...

Hmm.. September 16th. September comes after August right? Weird...

Chrys said...

What a surprise, still no post. Even with Vanessa's tip the other week you still haven't posted. You know, the only time I really see this many comments for a post is when somebody announces an engagement or pregnancy. Are you trying to set a record for most comments or something?

Vanessa said...

haha.. i was just thinking that chrystal.. isn't it ironic that a blog that doesn't get updated posts gets the most comments.. hmmm.. births also get a lot of comments i find. no wonder i get no comments. HAHAHAHAHA

Hmm... I don't know, guys. I kind of like how popular I am right now. I may refrain just a little longer, keep you in suspense as to what's going on in my mind....
