5o'clock Remix

On December 5th/6th, Kayla was up late working on papers and doing a ton of homework. I had long gone to bed. The day after her (basically) all-nighter, I went on facebook. Upon logging in, I saw a post she had posted during the night.

"It's 5 o'clock in the morning... homework is getting boring.... I want to go to bed soon... I'm really missing my bedroom.... but instead I'll just wait here, until my homework is all clear.... and I'll pretend that I was sleeping..."

Birds of Christmas

Even with the distance between us, Kayla finds a way to share her thoughts with me. I love it.
Apparently, she had a thought about the song "12 Days of Christmas" tonight.

"So tonight as I was getting dinner, I listened closely to the "12 Days of Christmas" song and I realized something - if you are getting THAT many birds each day (ex. on the 6th day you got 6 geese, 5 rings, 4 calling birds, 3 french hens, 2 turtle doves, and a partridge... now add that to the birds on the 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 2nd days and you will begin to understand), you might as well just build yourself an aviary on Christmas because you now have a house full of birds. Well done, "true love," whoever you are - you must have a bird fetish."

Here is what I love about Kayla making this statement. As true as it is, Kayla, herself, loves birds. Hopefully her future love takes notes from this song... but doesnt go too overboard.

Christmas debate

Last night Kayla and I had quite the debate. The topic?

Who sang the "Silver and Gold" song in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

My guess: The snowman.
Kaylas guess: Cornelius, the bearded man

She soon posted as her status: "obviously Carly Thomas knows Christmas claymation far better than I.... how embarrassing."

A Christmas Wedding

Kayla had an interesting thought tonight. "Wouldnt it be terrible to have a wedding on Christmas?!"
"GOSH YES. Though wait. You can choose that..."
Pausing for a moment... "Well, it would be more of a bummer for the guests... shoot. I wouldnt go. Id RSVP saying 'I have a birthday party to attend that day... Its kinda an all day event and Ive been preparing for it since, like, November.'"

Snap Shot

These are the types of things that occur when youre friends with Kayla.

She was going for that "international sporty/rock star" look. Totally nailed it.

Water Monologue

"You know what is fantastic?"
"No Kayla, I dont. What is fantastic?"
"Water. It never gets old."
"Oh, I dont know. I think sometimes it gets a little old..."
"No. Well ya. But I mean. Water... is timeless!"
"Oh... like it never goes bad?"
"Yes! It is timeless. It is like God."


Several minutes later....
"Everyone needs it. It can be found everywhere. It can be found in a variety of forms. It is just.... amazing."

Earrings...

While sitting and working on her paper, papers fanned across the couch, she suddenly puts her hands to her ears and turns towards me, a perplexed look on her face.
"Whats wrong?"
She continues to hold her ears and replies, "I just remembered I wore earrings today..."
