From what I have learned thus far about Russian and Ukrainian women is that they are fabulous. The strut around in heels in the crazy snow and never leave the house without lipstick- drunks don't dare harass them because they are intimidating and you don't just don't mess. Many believe that it is their right and privilege to have the opportunity to stay at home and raise their babies. Mainly that appreciate all that is feminine. As do I. I cannot wait to live and learn among them.
Also I appreciate the wearing of scarves on my head. As I did this morning. So, because I was convinced of it's adorableness, I found some ladies who shared my same feelings on the matter.
Jackie Kennedy & Audrey Hepburn. the authors of all that is fabulous.
I deactivated my facebook. I will reiterate the sentiment here.
Dear Facebook, We need a break. Homework needs more attention now, and I just don't have time for you the way I used to. Maybe when things get less hectic we can give it another go... its just.. right now I can't give you the attention that you need. It's not you. It's me. And by me I mean finals week. Ok bye, Kayla
No matter what I get on my computer to do, my fingers start to type facebook. They have been trained. Why do I even like facebook? I think it's my innate womanly nature that likes to check things. Check boxes off lists. Check cookies in the oven. Check to see if the door is locked, ect.
On a less stupid note, I have severe back pain. And have decided that I should block web md while I'm blocking things... It happens like this; you are all, "Hmmm why do I have back pain?" And then after a glance over the Web MD symptom checker you are all, " HOLY CRAP I'M GUNNA DIE I HAVE PANCREATIC CANCER AND KIDNEY STONES AND MY TIME IS LIMITED MY LIFE BE LIKE CHARLIE/A WALK TO REMEMBER AND I HATE THAT MOVIE"......
Maybe I would feel a little better right now if my Doctor didn't come across as a crack addict all shakey and shifty eyed. Well anywhooo it's the last time I will walk in anywhere and pee in any little cuppies if the dude is just going to hand me some pain killers.
Well anyways hopefully I live to marry Elliott because I love that man and we had a wonderful thanksgiving together... minus him wondering why his toothpaste ended up in the shower. I will tell you why. You brush your teeth in there. You could spit all over if you wanted to and it wouldn't be like those days where you are late for class and you are rushing and then spit toothpaste in your hair, because you get out and ALL IS CLEAN. Minty fresh alllovvvvaa. Not really, just your mouth, but it's just a kill all your birds with one shower kind of a deal. And by birds I don't mean actual birds, for those literal folks out there.
Late List of Random Things I am Thankful For: (In no particular order)
*Jeggings- Are they jeans? No. Are they yoga pants? No.Can I do the splits in them? Yes, I checked. I hate jeans. Jeggings are the best form of pants that has ever happened to me. * A democracy. Even with Obama trying to cast a socialist tint on all. I appreciated the freedom to worship how I choose and be whoever I want to be. * My new found ability to sleep through anything. My roomates are NOT QUIET. Butttt I love them. * Elliott's lovely family. For letting me crash there during break on account of me having a lack of bedroom at my casa. * Elliott. Even if we have to live off potatoes and love. I could do that. * Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints * My family. Even if my brother lives in a hole and my sister took all the tall genes. * pie pie pie pie mashed potatoes
212 days 20 hrs and 16 minutes till I am married to Elliott. there are around 54 days untill I leave for Ukraine 30 days till this semester is over i have to go to math 206 exactly 7 more times and only 3 more days till I get to see my Fiance again
The carpet buffer is a beast that can't be tamed. Do not get confident and think that you are a legit carpet buffer, that is when it will attack and try to take your life. You need to have a healthy fear of the buffer. ALWAYS.
The cup holder in the ride on vaccuum? It's for a diet coke. Obviously.
Speed 3 is only for after people have cleared the building. Unless you want to explain why you have runover an unsuspecting person with a 300 pound ride on vaccuum.
Don't try to siphon out the dirty hose water with your mouth. Ever.
Put that mango scented spray on EVERYTHING.ALLTHETIME.
If you want to watch a play rehearsal, then pretend like you are cleaning the arms of the theater seats.
Don't let the wheel of the upholsterer get caught and fall down an elevator shaft.
The End.

I was contemplating whether or not to post my wedding ideas on my blog because if someone copied me I would feel pressure to punch them a little bit and then I realized that imitation is the greatest compliment so either way I win. So here you go.
FLOWERS simple. beautiful. lilies. white tulips?
DRESS Bow: Yes Glitter: NOOO Lace: Vintage? Yes. Simple, Classy: Claro que si. Mermaid style: not so much a fan
Once upon a time I fell in love with the man of my dreams and last Friday we got engaged, and he put the most sparkly beautiful ring on my finger ever, and on June 17 we are getting married in the temple for eternity and I will then officially be the happiest girl on the planet.
Why are we waiting till June? Well mainly because we are crazy. In love. Holy crap this is mooshy. I apologize. But not really. Well the thing is I signed up to go supervise English teaching in Ukraine. And he is finishing up his masters degree. And I am kind of distracting and possibley I require a decent amount of attention. So if we got married before, there wouldn't be much studying going on, and I want my man to succeed. Also, we decided that Ukraine will be good for me blah blah blah and when I return our love will be like 800 times stronger and we will be awarded for the longest distance relationship ever. Meanwhilst, I will be frolicking about eastern Europe and planning a wedding over skype and email, and my man will be busy out of his mind with school, and missing his lady of course. If anyone can do it we can, and somehow I am 100% sure of that.
So don't be all surprised if randomly I post pictures of maybe 50 different wedding invitations and discuss the pros and cons of each. But believe me, I never thought I would be that girl, the one who maybe has a wedding magazine in her school bag and reads it during EdTech, but don't knock it until you are engaged. You too may turn ridiculous and giddy.
Also don't be surprised if you are ever all, "Hey Kayla, what is the recipe for your Mexico soup?" And I tell you, and then overnight it expands to 4 times it's original size, and goes from a meal with the capacity to feed a family of 4 t... to suddenly a soup that can feed your entire extended familia.
So Friday I am donating plasma, and there is a 99.9% chance that it will end like any other experience involving needles and blood (i.e. with me passed out on the floor), but it's a risk I am willing to take for $50 extra dollars a week. I am poor and in college and getting married. Don't judge.
