Kelly's Hobbit Hole!

I injured my knee while skating today... I've been putting ice on it, and I now have an Ace brace around it, and elevated, but it's sore, especially when getting up.

If you all could pray, I'm nervous and kind of scared, I've never had this happen before. I think I landed wrong, and twisted it, but after doing some online research, I don't think anything is torn.

Prayers would be really appreciated, if you guys don't mind.

thanks so much! :)

sorry, for not blogging in awhile, a lot has been going on...

My dad's drinking is continuing, and it's putting more stress and strain on all of us -- he doesn't think he's hurting anyone, but he is, emotionally. Sometimes, he drinks up to 10 a night, but that's mostly on weekends. But on average, he does between 14-20 a week... which is signs of alcoholism. He doesn't think he has a problem, and even when my mom confronts him about it, he still doesn't see it. He's always like "I just wanna have one drink", but it's not one drink, it's more. And pretty much every night.

My mom has also lost her job with LabCorp... but we both feel this is actually a blessing in disguise. The people she worked with could be rude at times, and especially the leader, thought she was always right, and was abrupt with mom. And mom is tired of LabCorp, and doesn't really want to work for them anymore. So, she can't wait til her last day, when she will hopefully be gone completely and get her severance pay.

I'm not trying to be gloom & doom, life is great and always will be, it's just a lot is happening right now...

thanks guys & I love you all &hearts

Hi everyone!

How was everyone's weekend? Good, I hope!
Mine went really great, my brother and I spent the weekend over at my sister's new house, and we had a great time. Stayed up super late, topping 5-6 am on night, LOL! Watching movies/tv shows til our hearts content =D, skating & shopping at Best Buy on Sat., and on the last day having a nice walk in her neighborhood, which the weather was really great for. :)

Well, I received the decline letter for a job at the EC Library I applied for, which was a full time position. It was kind of disappointing in one sense, as it was full time ... but at the same time I wasn't totally surprised, because I'd been having the feeling that I didn't get the job, and that's happened before with other applications/jobs, and it really hasn't been wrong before.

So... my mom thinks that I should keep trying when/if more jobs open up, which a lot haven't because of the economy and county overspending, they've put alot of jobs on hold. I'm just really grateful that I have a job :) -- But, I get tired of trying.. I know great things are worth fighting for...but I don't think God wants me in the library for the rest of my life, at least not as my only career. And I don't want it to be my career... So... sometimes I think, what if it's not part of God's plan for me to move up anymore in the library? What if I'm not to supposed to go full time with the library? I've tried and interviewed for different library positions 4-5 times, and they've never hired. That's why a part of me wonders if maybe, I'm supposed to be right @ NF Library, and not at another library.

It sometimes get's so complicated and a bit scary.... :/

I should've sent my writing out to Glimmer Train, but I missed their January deadline... so I have to get it in the next open submissions deadline. I feel it's important, it's scary and makes me nervous, but important. I really hope they will publish my short story ... it would mean more to me than the jobs. &hearts&

Went to Books-A-Million tonight, and picked up some great books! :)
I always keep my eyes open for suspense/thriller/horror books --- I LOVE those kinds!! :D
I bought:

"Isolation" by Travis Thrasher
"Search and Destroy" by Dean Hughes
"Allah's Fire - Task Force Valor #1" by Chuck Holton & Gayle Roper
"Dreamhouse Kings #1: House of Dark Shadows" by Robert Liparulo
"Code Talker" by Joseph Bruchac

I also recently bought a whole bunch of books from Goodwill, including "Peter Pan" & a beautiful illustrated copy of "Pride & Prejudice", you can find some really great books there! :)

Right now my parents are watching "Fire Proof" --- I'm hoping that they will see some of the similarities of the characters marriage in the film, in their own marriage... and it would be even COOLER if they took the Love Dare ... I really hope this film will speak to them :)

I love book shopping &hearts&

Love you all! =D

Well, I got to work today and all of the parking spaces were used up 'cause there was a test or something being given there.. So, I had to park in the park behind the library, and jog to the building :p
I was late, but I called and told my supervisor why, and he wasn't upset about it, so I'm glad that went well :)

As for the interview, well, one of the women who interviewed me told me that they had selected someone else for the job, but that she thought I did very good on the interview, and it was a tough choice. She encouraged me to apply for other positions... I've heard that before, and it doesn't do too much really :/

I'm kinda glad she told me though. It's almost better to know now, than to have to wait til the first week of Dec., which was when I was told I would hear something back.

So, that didn't work out... but I'll get over this, because God has something greater.
I prayed about this job, and like the first one, I prayed if God wanted to get this job, I would, if not, well....

I feel He wants me to be a writer, so I'm gonna throw all of my effort into writing and trying to get things published... I've got a few ideas I've been throwing around, so I'm gonna do my hardest to work on them :)

Thanks for the encouragement makeitbacon on the job -- it really meant a lot to me! *huggles*

It's really nice and cold here in FL, and it's sooo nice! :D -- I've got the windows open and am loving the cold fresh air ^_^

Joy for Winter! :)
Love and Hugs,

Whoo!

The interview is like the most nerve wracking 15 min. of your life! :$
I hope it went well... I think my last answer was good, about why I wanted the job :D

I really hope I get it... I think maybe Maryellen wants me to get it... so lots of praying I will be doing about this :)

Just wanted to get a quickie blog in before mdinight :)

G'night & love,
Kelly

Ack, I missed the blog for yesterday :(
Geesh, that's bad blog day #2, and I couldn't even get one LOL :P

Well, today, I basically slept in til 1:30 pm LOL and when I did get up, I went grocery shopping with my mom, that;s cool :)
I went skating again today with my sis for the Rhythm and Retro night :D - They didn't play as many good songs but the highlights were "Dancing Queen" and "Funkytown", and they played this 80s song that I'd never heard before, but I liked it :)

Soo... the interview is tomorrow! I am SOOOOO nervous :$
If you guys wouldn't mind praying about it, I'd really appreciate it! I really want this job! :D

This is a short blog, but that's mostly all I have to say for now. :)

love & huggles
