Simply me. (a short update, more later)

I've been missing for quite a while, it seems, from both blogs. Lately my facebook has been missing regular updates from me as well.... I just got too busy and overwhelmed to sit down and write anything. Plus, as I've mentioned elsewhere, uploading pictures has become quite a chore. My wonderful father-in-law was able to fix my computer yet again. I am so grateful that he was able to do so, and that he even WOULD go out of his way to fix it! :) I seriously have the best father-in-law EVER. Must be where DH gets it....
   I have slowly been transferring old blog posts from my original, A Little South of Sanity, to this little piece of web space with intentions of simplifying. I'd like to keep record of my ramblings from what seems like so long ago. That title is an absolutely perfect analysis of happenings at that time in my life. Much the way "Loopy Lorraine" is a terrific way of describing the two years following "A Little South of Sanity". I believe that now, as I near age 27, I am finally finding my way back to me:: simply, Kristiraine. :) A nic-name my dearest cousin gave me so, so long ago when NKOTB was the hottest thing since cinnamon applesauce. ha.

Reviving the Writer

... Deciding to revive a once-lost memory is intimidating. The will to bare your thoughts, sometimes unedited, for public viewing, conjures images of hiding behind my mother's dress at church -just to get a good peek at things before edging into view.  If only writing gave us at least that safety net.  A conversation with a friend inspired this post, a decade after shutting down and retreating to small blurbs on social media.  I asked why she hasn't 'written that book.' You know, when judging others, you're just asking to be judged yourself--and our toughest judge typically is our own inner voice. Henceforth, I have determined that on this day, in order to practice what I speak, in absolute protest against my tendency to imposter syndrome, I'll be writing again.  It isn't that I stopped communicating but I stopped sharing my thoughts so openly.  I'll update the happenings of the past decade and plan a fresh look to this space.  Everchanging, Kristen

Crazy Me!!!

Funny category, huh? "Art and Photography" okay, it's 3:33 am!! I just got my belly-button peirced around 1 am and i guess i have some kind of weird adrenaline rush because of all the fun!! maybe i'm just nuts...anyway! We went out with Beth for her birthday, had lots of fun, took a few really cute pictures which I'll be posting here and there, then went to Trilogy because we had joked/talked some about getting piercings and tattoos and stuff and i have been wanting to do more lately....so i said lets go for it! Everyone was up to it. sooo in honor of Beth's birthday, I did something my dad will have a freaking cow over. hahaha I got my navel pierced and I love it! I think I woulda gotten a tattoo, if we had the time and I knew what I wanted...but this was much faster, less healing time, and less permanent. I just chopped my hair off Wednesday too! I do this about once every 3 years...cut my hair, pierce something, decide I'm gonna do what I wanna do for o...

Davin or Ellie?

Which will it be?! lol--you're all just gonna have to wait because its a SURPRISE!! :) I'm having a really really hard time coming up with a good name for a little girl--you know, just in case. But we already know a little boy will be Davin!!(like Gavin with a D) possibly spelled Daven ... We've known that since Genevieve was on the way. :) I'm thinking I kinda like Davyn for a girl, too---of course with the different spelling. But baby's daddy likes Elenore....or Ellie. I really do like it too. (see the cd at the bottom of the blog) David, Genevieve, and Elenore. lol (Trip, Genna-Clair, and  Ellie  or  Davin ) We also kinda sorta like Miriam...but we would just call her Miriam, NO NIC-NAME. lol Let's cross our fingers for a boy, shall we?! lol 18 weeks and counting! Currently listening: Elenore: 30 Years of Rock 'n Roll By The Turtles Release date: 26 September, 1995
