I'm back!

Well,

It's pretty needless to say that I've been gone for far too long from the blogging world. A TON has happened in the last while. My laptop's out in remission again, but Brandon is letting me use his old family laptop until I get mine back. So hopefully I'll be able to blog more often.

I guess I'll just give a brief little overview of my life in the last couple months. At the end of August I quit my job at Orange Soda, moved into an adorable house in downtown Provo, and ended my relationship with Brandon, the boy I had been dating. It was definitely a LOT of change at one time, but it was really good for me I think. It was a good turning point in my life, and it was a really good time for self discovery. Finding out who I am and what I need to accomplish in life. My house is amazing and absolutely perfect for me. It is, however, 3 houses away from Brandon's, but I never saw him, so it was good.

Anyway, in that month, I did a lot of thinking as far as school, work, and overall life. The idea of a mission came up a few times, as well. And I'm also considering the Art Institute of Sandy to continue my interest in Photography, which would be awesome. Anyway, I started a job at a restaurant that was opening, Spark Restaurant Lounge, and worked there for about a month. Then, I sadly lost the job due to a terrible manager who fired half of the staff. It was pretty ridiculous, but I'm pretty over it now. So now I am currently on the job hunt. I also began dating Brandon again. And I can't even begin to express how happy I am in this relationship. Words cannot even describe how much healthier it is, and how strong we are together as well as individually. :)

So.....If anyone happens to know of any job openings.. ;) eh? eh?

Oh! And of course, my beloved twin sister got married as well. Marci + William Watson on October the 9th. It was a good day :) and I couldn't be happier for them! So...Here I am in my life. Kind of in a state of limbo, but a happy limbo. :) I have a lot of options to choose from, and that's a good and bad feeling. mostly good.

But YES. I will be back shortly with new music/movies/and love to give.
I hope everyone is enjoying this month! It's probably the most fun month ever! I love pumpkins/haunted houses/candy/costumes/fall. It's basically the best..ever.

So if I don't get a chance to say it before then, Happy Halloween, everyone!!

It's business time.

I have come to a conclusion.

And the conclusion I have come to is this:

I think I am going to make a blog site on an alternate email address. This idea was sparked when I was looking through my leads I received at work today. One of the leads that came up was a review website for movies and music, and other random things. It would be a good hobby for me, I think. I can continue to post personal life stories on here, and on my other site (which will actually have an official domain name, unlike this one) will be for reviews, for which I will post daily content. Kind of like Marie's makeandtakes.com craft site, though...maybe not quite as successful :) But it will definitely be entertaining. So entertaining that it might blow your brains out. Or something.

Anyways. I'll keep you updated on that. And then maybe later today I'll have a massive blog post coming about all the things happening in my life. Okay? Okay!

Oh, and also. This is just for kicks and giggles:

One of those days.

Well, it's one of those days. When everyone around you is working hard, and you sit at your desk, look up at the board and think, "it sure would be great if I could put some sales on that board." Then you turn to your computer to look up the next contact, and no matter how hard you try to focus on punching the phone number in, you just can't do it. Sure enough, I have friday fever. Funny thing too. I have absolutely nothing I'm doing this weekend that would get me thinking about absolutely everything BUT orangesoda, and still, it's anything but on my mind. My mind is flashing like crazy, and my ADD is not helping too much either. Thank goodness for gmail chat that allows me to chat with coworkers and not get in trouble, and the hour of work that I have left. I would also like to take a moment to thank Heath Ledger in his role as the Joker, as well as my boyfriend, Brandon. Oh! And also the Mona rope swing, and the Ting Tings, for providing me endless thoughts in my mind that contually keep cycling.

Also, if you haven't heard of the Ting Tings, though I'm sure you've heard them at some point, you definitely should check them out. They are, in fact, in the new iPod commercial singing "Shut up and Let me Go." They are such a good band! Check them out. Oh, and Cansei De Ser Sexy's new album, Donkey. Esta muy bueno.

Though you may be reading this and thinking to yourself, "Kelli, what on earth are you doing with your life?", there is a positive side to this post! And also, the only reason I feel justified in taking this little break. I finally got my first sale this week. It was a measly inlocal, but I was able to sell it for $30 when I could have sold it at the monthly offer of ten. I felt accomplished in my actions. Thank you, thank you. And then, soon after, I was able to sell another one. Thennn, the next day I sold 2 more. 4 sales in a week. Not bad, Kelli. Now I have to move onto the big boys- Selling SEO and PPC. It's going to be a long month...

Anyway, I hope everyone had a fabulous July. Time to move back into the fall :( Lame. And time to look into getting a night job to pay off the $1700 I owe my dad for fixing my 10-time resurrected car. Wish me luck and thanks for reading!

News Update!

Yes, It's true.
I actually have something to post about! Horray!
Well, basically. I finally got myself started on my new job. I'm sure half of the people reading this have no idea what the company is. But then again, that leaves the half of you that do! Woo!

Well...........I started a job at OrangeSoda.com two days ago! My last day at Nu Skin was today. I decided that I need to devote all of my thoughts and time into training for this job, which leaves little to no time to work at Nu Skin. But it was definitely time for me to leave and move on with my life. And I am incredibly happy and grateful for this amazing job opportunity. It couldn't hav come at a better time in my life.

For the half of you that don't know, OrangeSoda is an Online Marketing company and my job title is a Sales Rep. It probably sounds pretty easy, but I can't tell you how absolutely overwhelming the amount of information I'm receiving is. But I feed off of everything I can get myself into. I've found what I think is my perfect niche. And though I'm still 100% set in studying photography, this may be a possible full time career opportunity which REALLY excites me.

Training has been a little bit stressful, I'm not going to lie. And with the fact that I've quit wint-o-greens cold turkey, it's all the more stressful. That probably sounds like a total joke, but it most definitely is not. It got to a point with those suckers that I was eating a full bag a day. Sometimes even one big bag a day. I had no idea how bad my addiction for it was until I got to my third day of being W-O-G free. It's absolutely miserable and I'm actually suffering really bad withdrawals, but I'll pull through! It sounds really lame, but it's actually a HUGE accomplishment for me to do this. And Brandon would probably be able to tell you how aggressive and mean I get with these withdrawals, but he's hangin' on! Anyway, I'm hoping these withdrawals will end soon, as well as the lack of sleep they are giving me. It can't be healthy for the amount of knowledge I must take in over the course of the next week.

Anyways, I thought I would just share that bit of information! I love you all and hope you have a fantastic 4th of July!

Hi blogger world.

Well, judging by my comments in the last 3 or 4 posts...or should I say, the lack thereof, there seems to be not much of a point to posting so much. but ill leave this here until someone actually comments.

I've set up a flickr account for my photography.

Photo shoots!

So due to this glorious weather, I've been able to go out and take some good pictures! I did a shoot with my roommate, Alex. It was pretty retro. I'm pretty stoked on it. And then shortly after, I did some engagement pictures for a friend from home, so that was pretty cool! Im pretty excited about all of it. And I'm hopefully going out with Marci and then Kali too for a shoot too. But for now I'll post some of the pictures I took at both shoots.
First I'll start with Alex's:



And then Gary and Laura's:

Hello, Blogger world.

So, this weekend I'm doing my first real photo shoot ever. And to be honest, I am soooo nervous! They're engagement pictures for my friend from high school. To get a little practice in, since Im a little out of shape, Im going out with Marci tomorrow and doing a shoot in the morning! And then tomorrow after work, Im doing my roommate, Alex. Sooo, hopefully they're good enough that I can post them! But yeaahhh, just a little head's up!
