Oh, I get it!

A challenge for me, an emotional woman...not just any emotional woman, an emotional Hebert woman.

A challenge for myself..well, not really a challenge, more of just a healthy lifestyle shift; Think about things more with my brain, common sense, general knowledge of the earth and logic as opposed to my emotions. I know it doesn't sound so life altering, but I have a feeling this can help not just me in my adult life, but anyone else who may stumble upon this.

Here I go...

my version

Some do “planets” to list the most influential people of the opp. Sex in their life, I’ll have colours:

Red- Red is in my town, but far away right now. He’s been one of my best friends this summer but we haven’t talked for a couple days. This saddens me but for some reason it feels necessary. He’s got blue eyes, great smile, and an even better person to spend a lazy summer night with. Is romance in our future? Doubtful, but that’s ok because him simply being around is good enough for me.

Orange- Orange is far away both in distance and in contact. He’s in his hometown and I am in mine, and though we both have phones that work and text people constantly, we rarely talk. Thankfully we’ve seen each other since the summer started, it was wonderful to laugh with him. He is handsome and bright and I smile every time I see him. He does what he wants when he wants and won’t change for anyone but himself.

Yellow- Yellow is amazing. He is smart, musical, talented, shares my same beliefs, sweet, kind, and interested in me. Only problem is the feeling that I am not interested in him in the same way. We’d be perfect for each other for sure, but I haven’t spent enough time with him to really know if I have any romantic feelings towards him. It’ll be good to have him in town again and see what happens for sure.

Green- This one single man has been more emotionally exhausting to me in the past four years than any other person I’ve ever known my entire life. We’ve dated, we’ve fought, we’ve been best friends, we’ve not talked for 6 months. He knows my family, I know his. We’ve watched movies, and taken trips. He’s the second person I talked to after my first breakup, and I’ve helped him see things clearly as well( or at least I tried). He’s a guardian angel and the devils advocate. He helps me open my mind. Best smile, sapphire eyes, and personality that I have ever stumbled upon in a native man of Moscow. I love him and can’t stand him all at the same time. ;)

Blue- Blue eyes says it all. He is my friend…That is all. He is fun and musical and a great person to get a much needed hug from. I was blown away when I first met him, and thankfully our friendship has grown into something unique. We’ve only known each other a short time, but I’m totally stoked to know he’ll be around this semester. Talent, looks, and a killer sense of humor make up this person that I will refer to as blue.

Purple- I JUST met this guy a week ago. He is strong and religious and has had his share of heartache but he doesn’t seem to be jaded. We keep in pretty good touch considering how far away he is, and I think if we were in the same town wonderful events could conspire…UNNNNFORTUNATELY he lives about 500 miles away so I don’t see anything monumental happening soon, but I’m willing to keep on getting to know him just because it’s been so fun.


Woo! There you go. Good luck guessing. :)

God;s watching me

I heard this song after a pretty hard night tonight...it got me, I cried and then I realized God's tellin me I'm not alone, I'm not lost...he's still holding my hand.

Girl Talk

Today dad told me there’s nothing less attractive than a girl that is openly longing for a boyfriend...I’m happy to say I’m not. I’m comfortable with where I am. If a wonderful man presents himself to me and I find it in my heart to think “wow”, then awesome. Hook me up. I’m not settling for anything less than butterflies, permanent smiles, and consistent daydreaming.

He told me this in the context of being excited about life and all the great things that are happening to me that I seem to not realize. In a month I’ll be on my own, and in college full time...I’ll have to be more responsible than I’ve ever been my entire life. I’m petrified to spend money, I’m already wondering if I’ll make rent alright, and I don’t even know how much my electric bill will be let alone food. World, go easy on me, I’m going to be very, very new at this.

I have two emotions these days: Happiness, and Missing. I’m so freakin’sick of missing people. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t miss and it would be great. But, I care a lot, so I miss a lot and it’s so freakin’annoying! Especially when you put yourself out there enough to send a text saying hey, how are ya or hey, I miss you and you get nothing in reply.

~~Internet malfunction~~

A short cat story:
Today I was sitting outside on my laptop minding my own business and I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and low and behold, there’s Sweets! Stalking me! She saw me spot her so she RAN up to me, batted at my wenus(hahaha) and then ran away like a racoon on crack...cats.

I leave you now with a line from the Eagles song I’m being serenaded by “...I believe in second chances, I believe in Angels, too. I believe in new romances, baby I believe in you...”

Never thought I'd see the day

Secondary thought: I have been single now for eight months...woah.

Something's been bugging me on and off but now I'm brave enough to stand up...via blog.
I have a friend who got engaged about a month or so ago. He's always been a really good friend; really good at emailing, calling, visiting when he can, just an all around stellar friend. Then he did what I never thought he would do and always hoped he wouldn't...He fell off the face of the planet. I always thought he'd never be the kind of guy that would forget all of his platonic friends when he got a romantic interest.
Weddings take a lot of time to plan, trust me, I know, I helped my sister...But when it comes to the groom they don't have to do much by way of planning because it's the brides family that is the one that pays for the wedding...So why would a person fall off the face of the earth like this? I haven't talked to him since May..MAY! Since we turned into friends the most we went without talking was 2 weeks at most. What's getting me the most is the fact that the one person who hated when guys did this the most is doing the exact same thing.
When I had a boyfriend I made sure to not become exclusive for only his eyes to see. I still found TIME to hang out with my friends, I still had Tiiiime to call people because I didn't want to make it seem like he was the only person I cared about. I found time to make time and I always thought this person would be the same.
I'm glad he's found what he's looking for. He's far away and has a life and that is wonderful, but his friends were here for him in the previous chapters in his life, too. I just wish there could be a sign that would let me know he's still the good ol' friend he use to be.

Words can only prove so much. If a promise ain't enough Hold onto my love

I wouldn't pet my cat so what does she do? Attacks my hand...Stupid animal.

I've been thinking that a lot lately...Why are there so many stupid animals in the Moscow/Pullman vicinity? Why can't they grow up and actually act like humans? The pathetic excuses to flirt and the poor judgment on when to stare and think that it is accomplishing something is really getting old. They should create a class at the University to teach guys my age how to act like guys my age. I would LOVE to witness a suave smile or a twinkle in an eye that did not occur because the guy was checking out my butt. I want to think, "that was awesome" instead of "get castrated." That would be greeeaaat. I hope it exists in this town soon but I'm willing to wait for college to start if I must.

One good thing about Travis was he was always a gentleman and knew how to compliment me. It's not so much that he'd say anything, most of the time it was a smile that would do the trick and every time I would think to myself, "wow." . I haven't thought "wow" in a long time.

Today was my parents 25th anniversary. My sisters and I got them to meet us at 415 s. main st(casa lopez) and as they sat down we were playing their wedding song on my laptop. I couldn't believe it but that part was actually too cheesy for me but Tara thought of it cuz she wanted to try to get them to cry...good tears, of course. We decorated the booth with silver things and daiseys and Tara made a FANTASTIC tiny version of their wedding cake. That girl is the most talented person I've ever known, she succeeds at everything. I don't know how she does it.

It was awesome celebrating 25 years of marriage with someone. Even if it wasn't MY marriage I'm really glad it existed in my life today. It made me want something as good as they had and I'm really hoping I find the happiness my parents have found. My dad has now been married as long as he's been single(single 25 years, married 25 years). His life is at a complete halfway mark. Awesome. As for my mom, she has been married longer than she lived in the south! She lived in N.O.L.A. for 22 years and has been married for 25. Crazy, I know. We called her a yankee and got THE GLARE OF DEATH so we took it back immediately. Shoulda known.

This week has been my most anti-social of the entire summer. It's not like I planned it or anything, but I've only hung out with people like...two times this week. What's going on with that? Responsibilities? Totally overrated.

In other news, the band GrooveHaus(previously known as Heartless) is playing at the Farmers Market on Saturday starting at 930 I think so if you're bored and willing to get up early for awesome rock and roll, go downtown and let them serenade you with their melodic tones and modest Christian sensuality..HAHA! Aloha, kids.

I found this from LONG ago

Caution!!! this is cheesey...REALLY REALLY cheesy...like..oh gosh I can't believe I posted it. You've been warned



Favorite shirt on my back
Brand new jeans on my hips
Right here in this place
Let me kiss those perfect lips

Come breezing through this old door
Don't care who sees that come-here smile
Take my hand and scoop me up
Let's go somewhere the sun loves to thrive

Let's go frolic through these rolling fields
If we trip and fall it will be ok
There's nothing bad that could happen on that day
That we'd spend forever in a giddy haze

A humid night and two hyper hearts
With one solitary purpose-keep beating
A moments gaze can do monumental things
For two stuck in the moment grinning like fools

Hold me close and taunt me with your eyes
Give me a kiss I'll never forget
Watch the sun go down and never say a word


HOLY CRAP WHY KELSEY WHY!?
