sweet sweet love III

ok, back to where we left off.  so i was not sad about the jared situation at all, only that i had screwed up my opportunity with kylie.  i talked to kolby about it at school and he told me to just keep trying.  kolby had let me listen to kylie's new cd(the one he recently recorded) and i was BLOWN away.  it didn't even sound like the same band.  it was SO good.  since kylie wouldn't speak to me, i felt this was a good oppurtunity to send him an email.  so i emailed him and told him how impressed i was with the new fingerprints ep and that i just couldn't believe how amazing it sounded.  i went on for a little bit then said hope you are well-maggie.  i can't really remember, but i don't think he emailed me back.  but kolby said to be persistant, so i did.  i went over after school or something and it was only kylie, kolby and their parents.  not the group of friends i had thought there would be.  so it was kind of awkward.  kylie and kolby were playing a video game in kolby's room so i sat down on the bed next to kylie.  he wouldn't even acknowledge me!  kolby had a phone call so it was only me and mr. not so happy to see me.  i tried to talk to him a little bit and again tell him how good his cd was, but then he was wanted on the phone. kolby came back and i told him about my failed attempt.  again he said not to give up.  so i went home and this is where it kind of gets blurry...i think at this point we are now in the new year(2005) i really don't know if kylie was talking to me very much, maybe but only keeping it short.  but i continued hanging out there, because well all my friends did and i still liked him.  so one weekend a group of us were headed down to jerseyville to stay with other friends. kylie some how got stuck in the back seat with me. about half way through the ride i guess he couldn't take it anymore and grabbed my hand. CHA CHING i was back in! :) we had a great trip and when we got back and in a private setting we talked about what had happened.  he had liked me all along but wanted to make me feel bad and guilty for what i had done, which was totally fair.  so kylie and i continued our hand holding.  we weren't officially dating and we were always on again off again. mostly because i was scared to commit to him again and fears of breaking up.  i was happy where we were, but then kylie told me it was my last chance.  so i jumped on board! in march of 2005, we were a couple and this is when my life began to change...

sweet sweet love II

ok, old flame. here we go.

kylie and i and a bunch of friends went to a concert in mt. vernon.  i really didn't feel like going because i knew i needed to end my relationship with kylie and i didn't feel like a concert with all our friends was the right time.  anyway, during the last band kylie asked me to go on a walk.  i was like oh my gosh, no no no no.  but i said ok.  so we walked down the block and found a little bench to sit on.  we sat down and started talking.  kylie said "you seem different tonight, is everything ok?" i knew i couldn't lie and it wouldn't be right to lie.  so i laid it all out there.  i might have left out the whole old boyfriend part, but i didn't want to completely crush him!  so, he said that sucked and so on then we walked back to the concert.  none of our friends knew.  i still had to sit in the front seat on the way home, it was terrible.  the next day everyone knew and i decided not to go hang out at the daniel house like i did every sunday.  it stunk, but i still had feelings for my old guy, so what was i to do.  well i started hangin out with jared again and it was all ok.  then one day kolby, kylie's brother and my dear friend, dropped a note in my lap during home room.  i read it immediately and teared up.  i was such a jerk and kolby was so right.  he just said he saw my car at jared's and kylie was so much better than him and i knew it and i should have told kylie about jared.  he was SO right.  so i was questioning what i had done.  then good ol' idiot jared screwed up, big!  (back story, i dated jared for a few months, he went to the air force for 3 months and we wrote back and forth, while he was gone i started liking kylie and i ended it) well come to find out from some of my cheerleading friends the whole time he was gone he was calling and writing some of them too.  asking if when he got back they would want to meet up and fool around! note: i was not a  "fooling around" kind of girl so he had to get his kicks somewhere else! well need less to say the girls and i set up a trap and he FELL for it.  totally picked up one of the girls from the game, kissed her hand, then tried to take her out to "the point" for some action.  she declined so he brought her back to town.  then i came in and he picked me up and i chewed him out big time.  i was so MAD!  i pretty much told him he was a piece of crap and that i dumped the most amazing guy for him and he was worthless.  he tried to lie but i knew he was full of it.  he dropped me off and i discovered a note from jared that read "can't wait to see you tonight.  love ya-jared" HA HA on my way home he called to tell me how sorry he was and that he, wait for it...LOVED me! oh my, i called him out big time!  i said i did NOT love him and never did and that he could NOT love me after a few short months and cheating on me the WHOLE time.  i believe that was the last time we spoke. needless to say he was a complete douchebag.  yes i did just go there. 

this was long and not really about me and kylie, but it had to be included in the story....

sweet sweet love

we met when we were young.  then we dated. we fell in love. we got married.  we had a baby.  we are a family.

kylie is my best friend.  when i first met him, i thought he was "hot" i was also 16 and he was 18.

he was pretty goofy and very much a nerd, but he was my friend.  he played guitar and sang softly, but he was slowly melting my heart.  how cheesy, right? haha  anyway after a few years as friends, we slowly started to like each other more.  i wrote him an email and said i liked him and he responded with "i'm a hoss cat.  i've been flirty with you, but you're just a friend."  it stunk, but hey, he was a good friend so it wasn't awkward.  then i went to cheerleading camp for a week and when i got back, i went to one of his concerts. that's right he was in a band.  anyway, before camp i had cut all my hair off short, like from shoulders to right below the ear.  he says that night at the concert is when he decided i was cute.  he says the short hair was pretty hot. haha. 

this secret liking for each other when on for awhile.  (note this was all taking place the summer of 2004.) by fall it was kind of becoming more clear that we actually like each other.  we played riddle-seek, a game our group of friends made up. (one car hides, you call and give a riddle.  then the other team has to figure out the riddle and then find you.  once they find the car they have to find the bodies, so another riddle is given out.  it was very fun for a group of teens in a small town.) anyway, kylie always wanted to be on my team.  when i went inside to get our friend his cousin pressured him to answer if he liked me.  the next night at work she told me his secret.  later after work i went to our friend brad's house to watch one of the worst movies ever.  biker zombies from detroit!  brad's house was always cold so everyone always snatched a blanket.  that night kylie and i had to share.  then sneaky sneaky hands reached over and held my hand.  it was the most awkward postion ever, but neither of us wanted to let go.  i later left and immediately called my now sister-in-law.  i was DYING!  the secret hand holding, it was not public, went on for sometime.  we texted like crazy but never were official.  then the night before kylie left to go to CA for two weeks(to record an album) he asked me to be his girl friend.  i am so terrible i laughed at him.  i just thought it was so funny how he asked like a little kid would.  but of course, i said yes.  then before i went home, he gave me a kiss.  which we both agree was absolutely terrible.  haha, he said i kissed him with the tightest lips in the world.  but hey, what can i say, i didn't want to lay it all out there. haha so he was gone for TWO weeks, never called, never texted.  it stunk.  so when he got back it was sorta wierd.  my ex bf had been texting me alot and since kylie was not around or keepin in contact my feelings for him were fading and my old flame was sparking up again....

i'm coping jillian.  this is a series.

dear blog land,
i'm uninspired to blog. 

followers,
comment your ideas for me to blog.  what do you want to know about me and my family or my home or salon? shoot them at me, PLEASE

phase 2!

when wii fit came out, it was a hit at our house.  we played/worked out on it all the time.  we took it to my in-laws and it was a ton of fun.  then we got the new mario game and becoming FIT was out the window.  this time around we did things different.  we played mario first, then wii fit PLUS!  kylie started out tonight weighing himself.  he was not so happy with the reslut, but hey it's only day 1 or 539 but who's counting? oh wii fit is, dang it!  after himself, he added hazel, the dog.  she's a whopping 6 pounds.  up next was baby girl.  we had to first make her a mii, would could then be made into a baby on fit plus.  it was too funy.  of course, to fit in with the rest of the family her name is carwii.  i'm magwii and of course kywii. 

here's the whole family, plus kolbwii, kylie's brother.  and yes he does have a fro and barely has eyes.

daddy weighing carwii! and yes, i know my husband is handsome. my dad has called him a "european bruting model"  how my dad came up with that, i don't know, but i'll agree.

then it was my turn and for some reason kylie didn't snap any photos of me hula hooping away or trying to skateboard.  i'm a master hooper at about 700 spins! it helps when you have FIVE hoops on to add to the count.  my abs will hate me tomorrow.  but i desprately need to do this, because during those 700 spins, i was cramping.  not good for a 23 year old!  so, hopefully i can keep on this quest of wii fitting it up, or else next year i'll look like a bowling ball!

 

oh sweet relief

i updated! i have wanted to change my blog name FOREVER.  when i started blogging, i felt like "random thoughts of a red head" was pretty appropriate.  but i just was HATING it.  i felt like it was too blah.  i was just so over it.  luckily my amazing sister, annie, suggested my new title "Glitter, Paper, Scissors!"  it is PERFECT!  #1 LOVE glitter #2 all crafts i make include both glitter and PAPER #3 i use scissors in my job everyday.  oh annie, thank you! then i found new background that fits the kind of crafts i do.  oh how my blogging experience is changing!  by the way, i'm kind of a slacker because i can't find time.  so to all you public and SECRET blog stalkers, i'm sorry i'm not stealing some of your "work" time away to fill your hearts with my random stories.  and please send comments, they make me more motivated. have a great day!

roll it up, roll it up

stick it on a wreath? ok so i changed the words, but it's only appropriate. i made my dear friend CASEY  a wonderful wreath for Christmas.

she had went on and on about this rolled paper thing she'd seen on etsy.  then she made a treasury and featured her dream.  so i figured, eh can't be too hard.  well, after EIGHT glue stick and about 70 pages later it was complete.

i even topped it all off with a silver GLITTERY C.  she loved it so much.  she said she almost teared, but i think she actually did. and i'm so hormonal, i kinda teared up when i gave it to her.  we have very similar tastes in decor, crafts, hair, clothes, etc.  so it's very refreshing to have a friend that can appreciate the fantastic pieces of furniture or trinkets we find.  we love each other and depend on each other for new inspirations for one of our crazy projects, and can trust the other to say, "that's hideous, try again."  thank you for being my friend casey.  i'm so thankful to have you not only as a friend, but a coworker too. 

p.s. watch for more wreaths on ETHEL EDITH and our spring show!  custom orders accepted!
