oh how i love fall. i wish it lasted longer! my very favorite is to be outside on a cool night with a breeze and bright stars and moon in the sky with a flannel shirt and ripped jeans. perfect.
i love cheesy kid halloween movies. top 5-5. haloweentown; 4. gremlins; 3. monster house; 2. when good ghouls go bad; and 1. hocus pocus! i also love the genuinely scary ones, but mostly just spooky not bloody. i like mysteries more than gore. i don't like gore. i mean, it doesn't scare me it just grosses me out. if i wanted to see that, i would have been a surgery nurse. gag. whatever.
it's the perfect temperature for 2 weeks in oklahoma. you can leave the windows open without any artificial heat or air. you can wear shorts and a hoodie or jeans and a t shirt and mix it up. i love it. i seriously wish it lasted longer! boo for being so short.
then, boo here comes winter. i hate you mother nature. you're a terrible entity. you tease me with two weeks of my most favorite perfect time and then you bring on icy hell. freezing winds burn my cheeks. snow and ice stick me in the house where i have to stock up on food and toilet paper. i get cabin fever. i have to take my dog out down icy treacherous stairs that i inevitably fall down, and let me tell you, it freakin hurts. and it freaks the dog out. but mostly it hurts. then i get down the godforsaken stairs to the sheet of ice below where my dog in his sweater, because he's twelve pounds and freezes, pees as fast as he can and i fall again and just say screw it and crawl back to and up the stairs to my door. ya. that's why i love fall and hate winter.

Ten on Tuesday
So, I've decided to do a completely positive ten on tuesday, things that make me happy, happy thoughts, good things. we all need this.
1. I discovered on Sunday just how much I love the Blakley grandchildren. My sisters children are just not as well behaved as Brendan and Maggie. I'll leave it at that since this is a positive post. I love Brendan. He's the coolest little 3 year old I've probably ever met, and I worked at a daycare, so I've probably met quite a few 3 year olds. I don't remember. Anyways, B is so funny. He cracks me up. He's quite adorable, and amazingly rationale and smart. Maggie is the cutest. It was so hard for me not to aggressively pinch her cheeks. she has the most energy and she's so inquisitive. She wants to know what everything is, mostly by putting it in her mouth and seeing what it tastes like. I love all her little rolls. Zaney is the cutest. He makes everyone happy just by holding him. I can't do that. Who do you know who can do that? probably only Zane!
2. i love those automatic grammar and capitalizers in typing programs. the blogger doesn't have one. i am not checking my stuff from here on. just correct it in your head.
3. i like t.v. quite a bit. i watch a lot of it. it's on right now.
4. i like to sleep. i do that quite a bit also. if i had mag's energy, that would rock.
5. i love to read. i am always reading something. i am never not in the middle of a book. sometimes i read slower than others, hence i am still in water for elephants, but it's good and i'm about half way through. i've got several others lined up for when i'm done.
6. i like to eat. that's a given. hello! i love food. good food, bad food, food that's bad for you but not so much food that's good for you. not as good. my favorite is angel hair pasta. that's easy, but i can't cook, so i also love people who cook.
7. i love my grandparents. they are so freakin awesome. they got me through my youth (along with the fro and jalynn). they lived pretty cool lives. they have their very funny moments, and i learn something new about them every time i see them.
8. i like comedy. sense of humor. one of carly's (jalynn's daughter) teachers put this on a student's paper, which cracked me up last week. dear student, i noticed you love semi-colons. they will only break your heart; stop using them so much. love, your teacher.
9. i love my dog. like a child. it's probably unhealthy, but i also love therapy. i do. it is so healthy, and it keeps me sane, and i like art therapy and music therapy and guided imagery, and it has made me such a less angry bitter person. phew, i had a lot of pent up anger, but thank you therapy!
10. i love the blakleys. what what! um, my family is crazy. i have always said, my parents aren't bad people, but they were not good parents. that is putting it nicely. God put the fro in my life around 1999, and the blakleys scooped me up and have been there for me ever since. i have said since then, that the blakelys were my people. they have been there for me more than my blood family, and i don't know what i would do without them. it's the truth.

For Zane
Zane Able Korenak,
You are an all too blessed child. I know you've had your rough share in your 2&1/2 months of life, but you are so loved by so many. Unfortunately, one who loved you the most won't be able to share that love with you anymore. Here are some things I want you to know about your Grandpa Blakley.
He was the most amazing man there ever was.
He was an amazing father, to your mother and aunt and uncle but to me as well. My dad didn't know how to be a dad, so when I needed one, your grandpa stepped up. He didn't just do it for me, but for anyone who needed a dad. All these amazing qualities he had let him be an amazing father.
He was very loving. He loved his friends, his students but especially his family and most recently you, dear one. He loved those who didn't have others to love them.
He was sensitive. He was sensitive in himself to what others felt about him but to others needs as well. One thing he was not sensitive to was how many people loved him.
He was loved. He was a friend, a father to those who didn't have one, a teacher, and he was shocked, I"m sure, to find out just how many people were saddened by his loss.
He was smart. He was a teacher, and he was smart enough to find a way to make kids love learning, especially mole day.
He was caring. He cared about everyone he ever came into contact with. He would give them the shirt off his back if they needed it.
He was hard working. He worked as a teacher but also as a farmer. He took care of the land he loved and the people he loved.
The one thing I do wish your grandpa knew before he left us was how much we all loved him, not for lack of expressing it. He thought so much of others that sometimes he forgot to think a little more of himself, and we all thought the world of him.
we love you

thirteen on thursday
i didn't get around to ten on tuesday this week. it has been way busy at work, so here's thirteen for thursday.
thank you to my new follower zachary mark korenak for joining the group. i know have a total of 4 of you, it's kind of a big deal.
1. i am exhausted! it has been so busy this week at work; i've pretty much thought about quitting out of sheer laziness but am too lazy to get around to it, luckily, because i need the cash.
2. i've started calling my animals by nicknames more often. i think it confuses them more than anything else, because they know their actual names. sonic is the cat, because i found him at the sonic. creative, i know. and paco is the dog, paco bueno like taco bueno to keep with the food theme, sort of. anways, they're a duo. bff, if you will. so, i call them by duo names. my latest are pancho and lefty & cash and money. i'm sure in their own way, they know i'm crazy. at least it's
just the 2 of them.
3. the cat is ticking me off. audra has always stood firm to the belief that cats are from hell. i didn't used to think so. then, i had an indoor cat...and i am inclined to agree. they ran out of his special food at the vet so he's been barfing. gggross. this means he's going outside more often, because i'm not keen on barf. he gets bored inside also and jumps on top of the fridge from the floor, he gets height, and then proceeds to knock everything i store on top of the fridge, off. thank you. it's not there for a reason. wait, yes it is jacknut! that is another one of his nicknames lately. also, he probably thinks "sonic, i hate you" is his full name, because he's heard it quite frequently of late.
4. i'm reading water for elephants. i just re-started it. so far, so good. the same person who told jalynn it was good told her edgar sawtelle was good, so i'm being cautious. because, edgar sawtelle was so depressing i didn't get halfway through it. talk about a bummer. but water for elephants also got rave reviews from my grandparents, mother and sister, so it should be good. jennifer doesn't like to read anything sad, so it couldn't be too much of a downer like edgar was.
5. one of the best books i've read lately that i think anyone would like no matter what they like
to read is half broke horses by jeannette walls. it's a story about jeannett's grandma's life. the glass castle is about jeanette's life, which i also liked but jennifer thought was potentially too sad to read, so it's a personal choice. half broke horses is not a downer at all. very good all around. my gramma and grampa bales both loved it and they read exactly the opposite in books, so it's a crowd pleaser, i think.
6. i am always looking for the next good read, so reccomendations are welcome.
7. i'm still looking for a husband. reccomendations are welcome.
8. i'm super pumped for all 2 weeks of fall to get here! come on october, i miss you!
9. deb, if you're still at the fro's, you should read that book i gave her to read. i think it's called saving ceecee honeycutt. something about her anyways. it's just a good, cute read. you can read it on the way home, since you're spending all your free time cuddling zane.
10. i don't think i'm getting to thirteen. sorry, ten is a good number. i tried to keep it catchy, but it's just ten on thursday. everyone will live through this.

ten on tuesday
seems like everyone is doing ten on tuesday so i'll jump on board since i haven't blogged in a while.
1. i love you fro, and i'm glad you lived through today even if only barely.
2. i am off work tomorrow which rules. i was on call last week which did not rule, so i get a day off this week. woohoo! i don't know what i'm gonna do yet. leaning towards a whole lot of nothing though.
2. it felt like fall today which was awesome. it was so nice! it made me ready for october. i love october in it's fall weather and spooky nights and cheesy halloween movies. hocus pocus is my absolute fave.
4. i just noticed i labeled 3, 2 but i'm just gonna roll with it.
5. i talked to all of my immediate family tonight. dad was yelling at mom for cutting the watermelon wrong. i actually got mom to stand up for herself. jennifer cannot get her 2 year old to let anyone cut his hair so he looks like a hippie and jaclyn is going to name the new baby carolyn mae, but don't tell anyone else because she keeps forgetting to.
6. zach, are you following me yet? seriously. we're bff by marriage. do it.
7. i think i'm going to move into audra and zach's basement and become uncle david, because i miss them and because i'm doomed to be forever alone and miserable. not really. don't panic zachary.
8. gramma lehman said her brother, uncle j.b. had his surgery and went to check the garden the same day, so apparently it wasn't to serious but he is 95. her sister-in-law, aunt helen had her surgery which was more serious but is also okay. gramma and grampa bales are just kickin it.
9. i'm going to get together with some old college friends friday and help a high school friend with a fundraiser for the mental health center she works at saturday. looking foward to a busy weekend!
10. paco has to go outside. holla.

my aunt the crazy old cat lady
so, today was less dull then i thought it would be. i woke up early to get my driver's license renewed since it expired today, and i have to have it to work among other things. the weatherford tag agency was closed. i called my parents to see if the piedmont one was open, which it wasn't and then dad informed me that if i didn't get it today i would have to get proof of citizenship which sounded like a real pain. i hunted down an open tag agency on south council. the lady who helped me was oh so professional. she was wearing basketball shorts and a tank top with a big stain. she took my picture like 5 times because my eyes were squinty. i said i know, they do that when i smile. well, come around here and look, she says as if i am a retard and don't know what squinty means. i said yes, that's what my eyes do. anyways, after telling me to stop smiling so much, she finally got a picture with less squinty eyes. not a great one i might add, i'll get it redone in piedmont where my former secretary from high school now works and always makes sure the picture is good.
then i went to buy a coffee table, which i really like. it's small and dark wood which matches the bookshelf the tv sets on and it lifts up so you can eat at the couch which is kind of cool. then i went to gramma and grampa's again. grampa said he would eat a live insect if it would quit the pain when gramma said she didn't want to take anything for her stomach hurting. oh, they're funny. then mom and i went to lunch at applebees where i do not recommend the three cheese penne pasta. the strawberry cheesecake shooter made up for it though.
now, while i was at grams and gramps, it came up that my mom's sister has upwards of 25 cats. let me give you some history on her to make it even better. she's been married 5 times. she's the enabler to my druggie meth head cousin and uncle. she's a bit unstable herself. apparently, she just likes cats and leaves food out and has collected a cornucopia of cats, outdoor, which is better than indoor, but still makes her the crazy cat lady by definition. things to look foward to.

crazy old cat lady
i live in fear of becoming the crazy old cat lady. i'm fairly certain i'm the crazy old lady already. i just need more cats. cripes.
sometimes, when i'm feeling rational, i think God wouldn't give me this desire to be married so badly if it wasn't meant to be, but then the irrational devil on my shoulder jumps in and reminds me tons of people are old and miserable and probably didn't want to be that way. i do not want to be alone for the rest of my life, but i fear i will be.
it's hard to meet people in weatherford, ok. there isn't a young group of people at my church. the young people at jalynn's church are married. i tried the online thing, and everyone was a bunch of losers. i. mean. losers. i am quite afraid i am destined to be alone. i'm not sure what to do. i am highly open to suggestion.

five on friday
well, it looks like i'll be moving mid august unless something unforeseen happens. the house went over well. dad has some small issues that i think the landlord dude will work out. other than that, the week was okay. work was busy wednesday, but today was easy.
this weekend will apparently be slow. britini and jerry have family up, and i'm thinking about going to see my grandparents maybe. i saw them thursday. grampa is declining, but he was stable. grams is pretty good. grampa has parkinsons, and it's progressing.
i was supposed to go see inception with jalynn tonight, but i got a headache and had to sleep it off. i don't really want to see inception either.
well, abbey and audra do this ten on tuesday thing which i like, but it's friday so five on friday.
1. it was definitely a good thing that friday worked out easy for work. it was supposed to be hellacious since i was off thursday. i was actually done early, came home and cleaned the house which was much needed and then got a headache and passed out for some time.

2. i want to post more pictures on my blog, but it is a huge pain to upload them from my camera. why? because i'm retarded, probably, but when i get enough i put them on cds at walgreens and it's easier, so there will be more from time to time.
3. i am praying for able. only you blakelys read my blog, so you know what's going on.
4. i find blogging very therapeutic. it's kind of like journaling, but you know someones going to read it, unlike your journal which is another story.
5. i use terrible grammar on the blog. i don't punctuate or capitalize properly, and i notice. have a good weekend everyone!

i'm tired
so i had a good weekend. saturday i went up and hung out with britini and jerry. it's usually what i do on the weekends. they are from western oklahoma but actually just recently bought a house in piedmont ironically. anyway, i was the 5th wheel this time instead of just the 3rd because brit's friend and boyfriend met us. what is happening with my life. why am i still miserably single. insert debbie downer noise here. we went to a bar kind of downtown after dinner, and our waitress winked at me, so there's that. anyway, it was still fun. then sunday was quite lazy and i enjoyed it as well.
today, i ran by my friend jamie's after work, and they are moving to a house they bought in eakly which is actually where brititni is from, ironically. anyway, they're obviously moving out of their little rent house, and their landlord said i could move in. it's super cute, like a starter home. 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, but recently renovated by jamie and shawn. on a sidenote, i'm not sure if shawn likes me, but whatever. i'm awesome, obviously. anyways, this house. the rent is the same, but i think it might actually be smaller than my apartment? but it's a house, and i like that. it has a huge back yard for paco and sonic, which is nice. dad's supposed to call me at 4:30 for his input, which will probably be that he wants to look at it. they have been on me nonstop to find a place downstairs so i'll stop falling down the stairs here, but last time i found a house he didn't like it. i like this one enough though, and i think i'll probably hire some movers next weekend.

that was complicated
somehow, while i was trying to navigate this site and subscribe to all the blakley/korenaks blog extensions, i created 2 profiles and had to subsequently delete the 2nd followings from everyone. how did i even do that? seriously!
blogopalooza
well, my bff has started a blog, and i enjoy reading it so much, i thought i might try my hand at one. probably only she will read it, but whatever. shout out to the fro here. i don't know if the "here" link will work or not...i'm totally new to this, remember? anyway, probably my blogopalooza will be random. whatever tickles my fancy or enrages me that day. today was a good day. i went to work late and got off early, had a good lunch of chicken fried steak, and went to the vbs swim party in clinton at the first united methodist church (where my other bff jalynn's husband is the minister).
i'm getting pretty pumped about going to the STL the 2nd week of august
to see the fro and zane and zachary mark. (don't tell my sister. she lives there too and her feelings might be hurt i'm not going to see her). anyway, oh i love this little boy so much, and i haven't even met him. he's posted all over my home. you see audra, his mother is my bff of quite some time, estimated 11 years or so. she is one of my 2 equally close bff's (refer to jalynn above and below). i will probably never get married at this freakin rate (another blog, another time) and never have kids (another blog, another time), so this kid is kind of a big deal for me too. i bought him awesome shoes until at least size5, whenever that comes along, and i intend to spoil him rotten and begin a visiting schedule of at least every 4 months. get ready korenaks!
my other bff is jalynn. we have known each other 16 years give or take, since 6th grade methodist church camp (another blog, another time...i have a lot to write about, who knew?) her kid is pretty much the coolest 12 year old in existence. i've known her since birth, and i've never got to see someone grow up before. probably, because i was growing up myself, but it is really neat to watch her go from infant to little tween. she's growing up so much, and i know i sound old even though i'm not saying this, but i just notice little things. like, they went to michigan on vaca and she seemed to be taller and older when they came back.
(obviously an old picture)
i am so lucky to have two amazing wonderful perfect bff's and blessed to have their awesome children in my life.
