You Can Sit Beside Me When the World Comes Down

Hello you lovely sex kittens! This being my first post in this lovely blog...I feel it is important that we embrace a few things right off the back.

The first being that while I am a certified teacher and a fairly intelligent person...English is NOT my strong point. As in...I am bad at grammar AND spelling. I also have real issues with proof reading. In my head it is enough that I actually take the time to research and write something. It is asking way too much to have me go back through and repeatedly reread it for errors. Keep this in mind if you actually take the time to read my thoughts. (and i do this "..." A LOT)

The second thing (which IS in fact the most important thing) is that my friends are AMAZING. I know, i know...EVERYONE thinks they have the most amazing friends ever. And EVERYONE would in fact be wrong. The bond we have has been described as intimidating by many even creepy by some. We are that group of girls that know each other inside and out. My friends know when I like someone before I know it. They know when I have done something wrong before I've told them (sometimes before I even commit the crime). They also know they are the most important thing to me without me telling them. We often go beyond being on the same page....we are the girls that are on the same freaking word. We are self proclaimed "The Bestests" and to each other we are the perfect combination of insanity, intelligence, vulgarity, honesty, love and SOOO much more.

The next thing you should know is the history of KT. "KendraToday" was originally a handwritten newsletter started the summer of my first year of college (2005). I worked a summer job on campus and had endless office supplies at my disposal. Pure Heaven. I LOVE office supplies (but really...who doesn't?). I missed my best friends since I no longer saw them every day and wanted a way to keep them updated on the random happenings in my life (like me getting my hair stuck in a paper shredder) without having to call each of them multiple times a day. The only solution to this problem....use sharpies and fun colored paper to create a newsletter! KT was a success and immediately people besides my bestests wanted copies. The following summer KendraToday was back by popular demand and expanded into an online version which was emailed to readers in PDF every week. I had over 50 readers in five states. This still baffles me since while I think a lot of the shit I say is remarkable, insane, and hysterical...I certainly do not expect others to agree. KendraToday developed into a collection of funny stories, good ideas, great advice (boy short swimsuit bottoms DO NOT make you look smaller ladies!), reviews of books, movies, and products (such as ear candles), and many, many more random and silly things. Expect the same (hopefully?) from this blog.

Lastly, it needs to be embraced that this blog will probably need to be filed under "r"...for ridiculous (haha Christian) as the innerworkings of my mind are usually rather insane. I am sure I will have something stupid to say with every posting and will probably bitch and moan at least once every time (possibly about things like my feelings towards UPS, People that work in Public Service but that do very little to serve me; the public, and just how annoying it is when my little sister steals my piano music!). But let me leave you on a positive note.....
