Mon, February 20, 2012 Oh! Here I am!
I really checked out on the blogging for a while. I'm really sorry about that. There are a lot of reasons for my absence, but I don't want to be all glum and morose so I won't go there. Or I'll try not to. I might accidentally dip my toe in it, though, so forgive me for that ahead of time. But I'm sure everybody reading this right now has times where you feel like you just don't have anything left to give...unless, of course, you're one of THOSE people who has a constant ray of sunshine shooting out her butt. I can appreciate you Sunshine Shooters in small doses, but I really don't like you sometimes. And for the past couple of weeks, I haven't liked you, him, her, them, they, us, we or me.
I was really looking forward to this weekend. During the week, I have obligations. I have to get up, go to work, take care of my business, pick up my daughter from school, take care of her business...so I really didn't have time to sit around and wallow in sadness. That's why I was REALLY looking forward to this long 3-day weekend. Emma Kelly was supposed to go to her dad's house and with the exception of one charity event, I was free to pull the blinds and flop around in doom, gloom and despair. But as things turned out, EK's been with me the entire time, even going to the charity event with me. I think that was God's doing, actually. I'm sure He wasn't thrilled with my weekend plans, so He threw a cute little curly-haired wrench into them. But I still managed to squeeze in a little wallowing. Fortunately for me, my daughter is a big sleeper, so she and I stayed in bed each morning until 9 or 10am. When we finally stumbled out, we pretty much lived in our pajamas, hair wild and teeth unbrushed. When she wasn't looking, I binged on whatever I could find. (By the way, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is not safe in my presence.) I was as pathetically self-absorbed as I could be under the circumstances, but Monday has come.
I don't know what it is about Mondays, but every Monday feels like the day after Mardi Gras. I've overindulged in darkness and even though I'm still a bit hung over, it's time to start fresh because it's Monday. So I'm going to take that shower. I'm going to brush my teeth. I'm going to put on a bra and an elastic-free outfit. I'll even attempt to shoot a little sunshine out of my butt, but I have to go dark again when it's time to live-tweet "The Bachelor" for two hours tonight. But that's it! I'm ready to fake it 'til I feel it. I'm not really ready, but I'm going to do it anyway.
And with that, I'm back to the business of blogging.
XO

Oh my goodness Kelli...we must be twins separated at birth....ever since I have been listening to you, shortly after you started with KISS FM, I have thought that we are soooo much alike. I don't have a sister, but if I did, I would want her to be like you. You can make someone's day with your honesty and humor. I really enjoy your blog. Keep your chin up girl, you have a tremendous amount of talent and beauty.
Do you know what the best medicine for happiness is? Its not antidepressants its good old fashioned Gratitude and helping others who have it worse than you. Seriously, we have it so good we don't even know how lucky we are. Then we find things to focus on and feel sad about them. Most everyone does it but its really silly.
