One of "those" days.

You all know the kind of days.
One of "those" days,
that turns into a week,
and seems to last -
For.ev.er. (Sandlot voice)

First off, let's talk about being a girl.
Ladies - we all know that once a month
a whole week is taken away from us
because we are girls and get "it."

This week would be one of "those" weeks for me.
Monday: cramps. massive cramps.
Tuesday: cramps and foot slammed in the car door.
Wednesday: burn. massive, half a hand burn.

This burn took on a life of it's own right from the beginning.
One of the lovely ladies I work with told me this new "myth" for burns.
Who would have guessed that white flour would solve my problem.
I mean this thing was nassstyyyy.
Bubbles. Blisters. Puffy. Discolored.
The whole nine yards in a matter of 20 minutes.

My boss got some white flour and a bag,
and I stuck my hand in that bag for over 10 minutes.
And wouldn't you know - it worked!!!
It didn't fix it completely but it reduced most of swelling and blisters.

So here I sit - with the best boy ever!
He keeps changing my ice, rubbing my back, and feeding me pretzel m&m's.
And I love him all the more for it :)
Who knew being a girl would be so difficult.
And that all of these things would fall in the same week.

But right now, I'm thanking God for boys :)
  (that sounds like a country song)

Twenty One.

Well I promised that I would tell you a little about myself
but with a twist of course because bios are boring.
We all know they are - just admit it.

Background story: Almost 2 years ago my Mom started a list.
A list with a number of things to do before her big, golden birthday!
She had so many funs things on it but others were more personal.
(I personally loved and benefited from the fun ones...thanks Mom!)

So now I have a list.
Twenty One things are on my list.
And they all need to be done before I turn 21.
There are only 138 days left.

Here is where my bio twist comes in.
I have for you THE list of my 21 things.
There are three categories.
Fun. Stop. Grow up.

These are things that I want to stay young and do.
These are things that I want to stop or break from.
These are things that I want to grow up and do.

And through this whole fun and crazy ride,
I have a partner in crime! (we're secretly dangerous)
Her name is Hannah and she has blog and list too!
We're best friends and this has been so fun to do together :)

Okay enough blah blah blah... here you go - enjoy loves!

A Little This-That : New to Blogging!

Hey everyone!

I'm Kelsey and this is my very first BLOG! (cue clapping)
I'm very excited for this blog and to show you some awesome stuff. Hopefully you find it interesting - or at least entertaining!

The purpose of this blog is to bring you a little bit of this and a little bit of that - hence the title A Little This-That. So I will be crafting, shopping, organizing, venting, sharing, and much more on here!

So starting tomorrow...
A little about ME with a fun and entertaining twist - but you have to come back to see what that is! 

See you all tomorrow and Merry Christmas in July:)
