techy kristie strikes again

i got my new tivo set up all by myself...and it's connected to my wireless network at home. color me proud.

coffee & me

i *heart* coffee. i do. i try to dump it every once in a while, but i always go back...and now i think i'm here to stay. one or two coffees a day ain't all that bad for me.

my favorite thing about coffee? if i'm crabby " feelin' down, i can just have a cup of coffee and suddenly i'm hyper and happy and lovin' life. just like that. mornings turn into beautiful things after a cup of coffee.

Cy Young Award

Johan did it again.

I love random emails from the Twins...it just makes my day. I have a great feeling about next year and our young bucks (and Torii)!

parental reading material

tonite my parents busted me out on this blog.
apparently my older bro has been reading up on my life and gave the heads up to my parents that it exists. at first, i was taken aback. the conversation went like this:
dad, "i've been reading up on your blog..."
me, trying to ignore the comment, "yeah, blah, blah, blah"
dad, "kenny pointed it out to us...something about a smile...smile..."
me, "wow...i'm not sure that's parent reading material...uh...uh...well, i guess i have nothing to hide."
dad, "well, it's on the internet."
mom, "is that safe?"
me, "yeah, i guess it's public...and my name's in many more spots than hegman.com...it's all over and someone could easily find me if they wanted to..."

and so it is. mom " dad read a bunch of my blog today. my bro's been reading it.
ya know what? now that the shock's over, it's totally cool. i'm super tight with my family " don't think much of this will be a shocker. granted, some of it might be...but we can talk about it.

love you, mom, dad, bro " family! :-)

cuttin’ people off…a ramble

in the past few days i've let a couple people in my life know that i wasn't interested in friendship with them, anymore. it's stretched me a TON, and i'm still workin' it out in my head. you see, i generally like everybody " will act friendly with just about anyone. i say i "act friendly" because there are a few people who i would bet call me their friend...while i wouldn't consider them as much. (no one reading this, of course)

i realized last week that there are a few people i keep in my life in hopes that they'll meet someone else i know " become friends. these people get invited to parties, gatherings, events...because i know there will be others there that they may become friends with. i guess i'm a matchmaker...romantic, or not. i like to see people happy, meeting new people. is that so bad?

i decided that it's bad when it impacts my life negatively. either by adding too much stress, or taking up time i should be spending elsewhere just 'cause i can't say no.

in the end, i feel pretty good about cutting these people off. since my break-up in May, i've really focused on making myself healthy. i wasn't a very good friend for a while because i couldn't handle anyone else's issues...but i've made my way back into a healthy lifestyle, i think. i love being a good friend to my good friends. to those who bring me down, i'm sorry...i need to learn to let go.

i have to bring my Faith into this, as it's where my heart is...God is love...my Faith is all about love...so i do my best to pour out a ton of love into this world. to everyone. every human is worthy of love. i'm slowly learning to put boundaries in place so that i'm not drug down or hurt, though. does that make sense? i hope so...there's gotta be a way for me to pour out love without hurting myself. (and that includes cutting off those who misuse or misinterpet it)

wow. this is one of those entries i probably should have written in my personal journal. oh, well...hope you got something out of it.

notes from Kristie’s life:

- tryouts for my 13s team went awesome " i have 9 out of the 13 i wanted already committed. that rules. i just need 2-3 more, and i'm set. i always forget how stressful tryout time is, as once i pick my team from the many that show up, i have to call and tell them all the wonderful reasons they should play for me. you see, they try out for several teams " pick the one that's best for them. anyway, i was quite distracted at dinner last night 'cause i was thinking about my team " i feel bad for putting my friends through that. oh, well.

- i golfed 27 holes over the weekend " now consider myself a doublebogey golfer. i am pleased.

- softball was cancelled tonite because of a few sprinkles. it's my first winter season, so i wasn't sure what to expect...in MN, we'd still be playing tonite. wow.

- my little bro's life is going better

- Dixie Chicks are in town on Friday " i'm superexcited!!!!!!!!!
