two thousand fourteen.

oh my gosh. i feel like i haven't made a blog post since last year.
okayokayokay.
i know.
i know. 
a last year joke? for real kailey?
yes. for hundred percent freaking real, yo.
(they're actually really funny when i say them.)   

my new years eve consisted of

• reading
• the fault in our stars
• if you haven't read it? do.
• pizza, of the homemade variety.
• brie (cheese. mmm.)
• my couch
• a tv
• a blanket
• my family

i'm quite the party animal, in case you hadn't figured that out already.

anyway.
everyone keeps talking about their new years resolutions.
shutttt uppp.

i think sometimes we get so caught up in romanticizing the future and glorifying what's ahead of us, that we actually ruin all the fun.
i mean, sure. it's great to set goals and such. it's great to give yourself something to aim for..
but...
why do we feel the need to wait for the beginning of a new year to change?
if you want to change something about your life, what are you waiting for?   
just do it.
and: do it without shouting it from the rooftops.
are you resolutioning (i know it's not a word, mom. using it anyway!) for yourself, or just so you can tell everyone that you are a goal setting self improving hero that small children everywhere should strive to become!?
stop publicizing and commercializing the fact that: it's a new year, and you're embracing it.
yes.
it's a new year.
365 days, just like the last one.
24 hours in each of those days.
12 months.
two thousand fourteen.
hooray.

(not to rain on your parade or anything but most new years resolutions fail anyway!)
-i'm just saying: if you are unhappy with the way your life is going, its actually okay to work on changing it immediately, instead of getting caught up in the false hope that the new year will magically give you the resolve and self control to do so.-
okay?

truth be told, i'm actually a little disappointed with two thousand fourteen so far.
i woke up to a throbbing, achy throat.
(my achy breaky throat?)
i just want tons of scalding hot soup and ice cold smoothies, is that too much to ask?

also:
isn't it just attractive when people have an extensive vocabulary?
(indeed,  it is.)

and:
why is it so much easier to go to bed early when i'm home?

on the bright side:
i got tons of carmex for my birthday.
(which was great, thanks for asking.)

i promise i'll write again soon...before next year, this time.
hahahaha<<< see?
(told you it's funny.)
