01.23.15 FIVE THINGS

We're just getting to know each other again, so I can't get too crazy on you yet. But I feel like it's only appropriate to set the tone of this blog by giving you a little insight into who I am.

MY NAME IS KELLY, BUT I USED TO GO BY KELI. I have another BFF named Kelly, and to reduce confusion, I started to write my name as Keli when I was a kid. Into my teens, my friends would still refer to me as Keli. I used to think of changing the official spelling of my name, but then I "grew up" ;) Although sometimes I still think Keli would have been pretty cool...




I AM A FLEXITARIAN. I have weird eating habits. I don't like lots of meat- these days I stick to minimal steak, fish once a week, and eggs about once a week. Other than that, I like my veggies. I'm cautious about going completely vegetarian because I'm scared I won't get the protein my body needs. I'm very diligent about what I eat to ensure I eat enough vitamins as it is, so going full vegetarian scares me a bit.



DOING NOTHING IS MY IDEA OF A PERFECT WEEKEND. Seriously. My favourite thing is doing nothing and maybe that's boring to you, or maybe it doesn't sound like a good time, but I'm a total homebody that loves Netflix marathons and being in bed by 10. It's a good thing I met Mike at work because I doubt I would have met anyone doing anything social.






I AM IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND. I call him my walking cliche.  Everything I've ever heard anyone say about their loved one, he's that for me. The man who makes my heart beat just that much faster. The man who loves me at my worst and my best. The man who makes me feel beautiful every day, especially when I feel it least. We've been dating only a year, but it already feels like a lifetime. And I don't plan on returning him.



I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. I've gone through the motions. I went to school, got a degree, found a job, turned it into a career, etc. I'm almost all definitions of the term "grown-up". But really, I have no idea what I'm doing. And I don't think any of us really know what we're doing. Being a grown up means going with the flow along the weird path your life is on, but at the same time you're creating your own path. So how are we supposed to know if it's the right one?



Now your turn.
