Do you...

Ever feel like no matter how much you give, it's never enough?
Ever feel like there has to be more to life than this?
Ever feel like the path you chose was the wrong one somehow?

I wish I could find my happiness.

A Day In The Life Of...

Here are just a few shots from today:

I got this awesome nail polish at the new 99 cent store that opened by my work.

Timone was pretty devastated last night when the suitcase of doom was pulled out. He began to pace in front of it meowing. Poor guy.

I came home to find this gem of a poster hanging with some tape. I love the placement. It really adds that pop of color to my room! Oh, Chase. He cracks me up.


Where do I begin? AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That about sums it up. It smells amazing. I can't stop sniffing my hair! And for a pretty decent price too. Oh, and bonus - paraben free!


I love watching the shadows dance across the shades in the lobby at work.

Warning! Contents Under Pressure

Are most of your friends in your life new or old?
Mostly older with a few newer mixed in from work.


Do you eat raw cookie dough?
Oh, yes. It's a problem I have.


How do you like your eggs?
I'm not particularly picky about them, but usually over easy.


Creamy or crunchy peanut butter?
I love both. My current favorite is Skippy Natural Creamy.


Instant or home-made mashed potatoes?
Homemade! No question about that. Instant taste like paper.


Can you handle the truth?
I'd rather handle the truth than be lied to.


What is the compliment you get from most people?
Great eyelashes.


If you were another person, would you be friends with yourself?
No doubt about it. I'm super awesome.


Is anyone on your bad side right now?
No. I like to confront people if I am feeling out of sorts with them so that it is a non issue.


What’s the best drinking game?
I like King's Cup and also ones where you watch a movie and whenever a certain word is said, you have to drink.


Do you like your music loud or soft?
Loud. I love being carried away in the sound.


Do your jeans have rips, tears, and holes in them?
I don't buy them like that, but some do from aging.


When was the last time you fell over or ran into something?
Today. This is common for me. The better question would be "When was the last time you didn't fall or run into something?"


What’s the first movie that gave you nightmares?
Nightmare on Elm's Street


If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be?
Tyler Blackburn.


Have you ever sung in front of the mirror?
This happens on a day to day basis. Mostly when I'm getting ready in the morning and listening to music.


Do you talk a lot?
It depends on who I'm with. Usually I observe and listen.


Do you make up your own words?
They are called Kristalisms. I have a very imaginative mind!

The Adjustment Bureau.

Their hands.


What is the most difficult thing for you to do?
Stay motivated.


What's the best sound in the world?
Ocean waves crashing.


Is education important?
I believe to a certain point it is. Graduating from high school is a must, but every one is different and after that, it's hard to say if a college education is worth it.

Country. I don't like the hustle and bustle of city life.

Non physical punishment, yes. Time out for instance.

No.


Favorite type of movie to watch?
All! Depends on my mood.

Yes. I had never seen a house centipede until one crawled out of my tea kettle. It was absolutely disgusting. Google it. Do it.


What do you order at McDonald's?
I don't ever choose to go to McDonald's. When I go because someone else wants to, usually a kid's meal or fruit parfait.

The ABCs of Kristal

Adorkable. It's my self-proclaimed nickname. And I fully believe that I am. Do you know me?
Believer. A believer in love. In hope. In many areas of life.
Creative. I have a lot of ideas-most of which I don't act on, but they are there.
Diligent. I get stuff done when it needs to be done. I do so in a very organized manner.
Entertaining. Not for anyone else so much, but for me. I am great at entertaining myself. I could laugh at my antics for days. Months. Years. And then some.
Frisky. My cats and I relate a lot because of this. I like to play. Lots. And play some more. I think I wear them out.
Grateful. For all that I have in life.
Hungry. I love food. It's my favorite. I want it all the time. My inner fat girl is slowly escaping!
Indecisive. Ask me what I want for lunch. Or dinner. Or what to do. I'd rather just go with the flow most of the time than make the decisions.
Jittery. I'm constantly tapping my fingers, bouncing my feet, biting on my lip, doing little dances...It's a problem.
Kooky. You know me, right? Nuff said.
Loyal. I am very loyal to the ones I love. I'm like man's best friend never leaving their side. Like Lassie continuously saving Timmy from the well.
Mischievous. I like to scheme. Most of the time, I don't follow through with my outlandish ideas...but sometimes...I just can't help myself.
Nerd. Not like the candy. Like...I wear glasses, game, do puzzles for fun, read for fun...that sorta thing.
OCD. I mostly laugh it off, but it exists. And it is hard to deal with sometimes.
People-watcher. Oh, I could do this for a whole day. Observe everyone around me. It's pretty fascinating stuff.
Quirky. For instance: When I'm walking, I almost always count my steps. And will play little games with myself. If I can get to that light pole in this many steps, then I will be married in the next year. Stuff like that.
Reclusive. I love being at home in my comfort zone. I'm not one for going out to bars and partying.
Swanky. I really like this word. And wanted to use it. So that's all for that.
Thoughtful. It's fun doing things out of the blue for people. It makes my heart swell.
Uterus. I have one. But am not one. I just couldn't think of anything.
Vagina. Again, I have one. But am not one.
Whimsy. I sometimes make blanket and sheet forts in my living room and do homework underneath.
Xylophonist. When I was little I played the xylophone at school. I was the best there was. People from all across the countries came to see me play. *Note-this may be an over exaggeration of true events.
Youthful. I am only a quarter of a century old, after all.
Zealous. Mostly about interior decoration. And some other stuff. But I won't go into that.

Sixth Sense

Ever since I was younger I have had a sixth sense that has kicked in from time to time. Odd feelings of unknown presences around me, dreams predicting occurrences in my life and a very rare psychic ability that has now possibly saved me twice.
The first time it has saved me was when I was in my teens dating Jeff. We were on the freeway, he driving his Accord. I remember being extremely tired and dozed off. After what felt like a couple of seconds, a vision came to me that startled me awake. I had seen a huge semi truck swerve into our lane crashing into us. My heart was beating. I was shaking. Upon gaining composure, I looked up to see a semi truck much like the one I had just seen in my "dream". I asked Jeff to please change lanes and he did so without question. Not a second later, that semi truck swerved into the lane we had previously been in. I could feel the air in the car stiffen.
Today, something similar happened and I haven't been able to slow my heart since. (Tachycardia is NOT helping this situation) I was heading back to work from my lunch break this afternoon when it hit me. I was driving on the freeway when I got a dull headache. A truck had just merged in front of me - in the back a lawn mower. All of a sudden I got a huge wave of fear and blinked. In the blink I had a vision of said lawn mower flying out of the truck and into my window. I quickly changed lanes and pulled to the shoulder with my hazards on. A few seconds later, I saw the truck slam on his brakes from traffic coming to a stop. The lawn mower flew out of the back of his truck. Luckily no one was behind him.
What does it even mean?!

Question

Ultimately, I want to dedicate my blog to one thing specifically so that I can have more focus and motivation to keep it updated. However, what this one thing is...I haven't a clue.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he suggested that I have a website with multiple tabs instead with different areas I'd like to explore. My main interests: cooking, designing, gaming, ramblings and photography.
To clarify, I am in no way a professional in any of the above areas. Well, maybe a professional rambler...I could ramble your ear off, but I digress.
I'm not sure what I'll end up doing. But here's a pretty picture I took yesterday of my newest puzzle and I really like it <3
