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.
