I Love Ghosties

Once upon a time there was a girl. A silly girl that loved watch ghost shows on television. Well this girl still loves ghost shows such as Ghost Hunters and GHI. Anything that has to do with the paranormal. This is an accumulation of different things that have happened to me that, real ghost happenings that have happened throughout my life. Some of you may say ghosts or spirits. But either way I have felt or seen Ghosts or Spirits a few times throughout my life.
One time when my mother and father worked at the church as custodians, they were at the Sugar City Stake Center and Wendy and I had decided that we were going to go see what my parents were up to at the church. We rode our bikes to the Stake Center and went to the only door that we found unlocked and we went in. All the lights were out. Both Wendy and I had grown up going to the church house so much that we didn’t even have to have the lights on. So we started racing down the hallway to see who could get to the corner fastest. We turned the corner and both of us can to a dead Holt. There in front of us was a lady spirit. I will never forget it she had a bluish aura around her and Wendy and I grabbed hands and we just stood there and stared at this lady. And she stared back at us. I have no clue how long we stood there for but then she and went around the corner. Wendy and I let go and ran to the end of that hallway and looked around the corner and the lady Spirit was gone. Then we heard a noise from the room behind us. It’s the room that they do all the stake business in. And we found out that it was my mother working in that set of rooms. We tried telling her what we saw but we were talking so fast and I don’t think that my other understood what we were talking about. Later on we told our parents and they were just like well it must have been a Spirit of someone that lived here in Sugar City that really loved being in that building before they passed on. Wendy and I still mention it sometimes to this day. It was nutso.
Here this crazy girl that loves ghosts so much started a job at the Madison Junior High building, here in Rexburg, Idaho. It was funny because when I started there I will never forget my friend Krista had said to me after I had been working in this building as a custodian for a few weeks. She says, “I have heard that the Junior High is haunted.” I laughed and was like I don’t think so because I would go there several times where I would be the only custodian, because I would be so busy doing classes and homework that sometimes I would go in there around midnight. Then after I talked with Krista about two nights later, I was in there about midnight and my supervisor had gone home, and I was just wandering around and getting my stuff done then I had to leave something in my supervisors office and her office is in the same hallway and right exactly across from the band room. I heard a huge clanging noise as soon as I went into her office and it sent chills right down my spine cuz I knew I was the only one left in that building. But then again sometimes the door that leads from the band room to the outside gets left a jar or unlocked and so I thought it might have been some kids in there hiding out and that then they hit the stands. I opened the door and went in there and there was no one in the main room, so I checked the teacher’s rooms and they were locked. It scared me and gave me the chills a bit. But it didn’t frighten me so bad that I had to leave the building and I finished my work downstairs. The next day, I told my supervisor Elaine about what had happened to me the night before. Omgosh it was hilarious. She says oh it’s probably just the ghosts that resides here. I looked at her like what in the world are you talking about? And she said yeah you can ask everyone that works here and pretty much everyone that works here has had an encounter with him.
So I took her word for it and asked all the custodians and the ghost that resides there had messed with all of them a time or two. I talked to the secretaries and also some of the teachers. And I talked with the school police officer. He told me that one evening he had told some people about the ghost and that they were sitting in the parking lot which is now the Melalucca parking lot and that they looked into the building and saw this bluish colored light coming from the windows that were upstairs. And so he went into the building and he went into every single area and there was no one there. The secretary that worked there told me that one time she had to leave early but that she had some paperwork that was due the next day so she had to come back. She was the only person in the building. So she thought. And she told me that that evening, she was doing her paperwork and then she heard running and doors above her on the top floor opening and closing, and opening and closing. And this was making her mad that one of the teachers was letting their child run and play and open everyone’s doors and she couldn’t concentrate. So she went up stairs and all the doors were completely shut in that whole hallway upstairs. And she had goose bumps and grabbed her paper work that was due the next day and she literally ran outta the building. She then told me another time when she was again in the building by herself early one morning and that she heard tapping on the glass window that in front of her. She then was like all well maybe it was my imagination. Then she heard tapping on the window again. She looked up and she was the image of a male figure standing there and he was transparent and then he disappeared. She then said that she didn’t run outta the building but said I have a lot of work to do go away. HAHAHA.
So anyway after hearing about all of these stories and I have only shared a few of em. I was on fire with the fact that I wanted to go through and I literally was talking to the ghost all the time. People called me crazy. Elaine always laughed at me. Elaine and I had so much fun working there together. Elaine is hilarious. She started to stand in different parts of the building after she saw that I started working and she was pop out from hallways, and from behind doors. We would both go scare each other constantly. I even started going into her area and making her jump from jumping out from behind doors.
One evening there was a basketball game going on upstairs and I went down to my area and I turned on my I pod and I was singing at the top of my lungs while I was cleaning Mr. Wilson’s room. And I remember I was cleaning his chalk board when I heard the door open behind me and I heard clear as day, “GET OUT.” Then the door slammed. I turned and the door behind me at the other end of the room was the Athletic room. I went to the door and tried to turn the handle and it didn’t open, and so I got the chills because I was thinking in my head that some kids had gotten down stairs from the game and were hiding out in there. So I took off and found my Elaine and told her what happened and that I got the hell outta dodge from that room. She started laughing and said well you wanted him around basically. So she told the principle and he started laughing and then came down stairs with me and we unlocked that room and went inside that room and all there was, was athletic gear. So they laughed and said well there was your ghost. Everyone knew that I love ghosts and that I was trying to draw him out. So then I dunno how long after that but I was in the band room cleaning and I had just turned off my vacuum and was grabbing the cord and wrapping it up, when I heard, Kelly and blah blah blah I dunno what it said after that and I waited til I had the cord wrapped up and then turned around and went to say what Elaine? But then I said What Elaine and turned and no one was in the room. And I heard a conversation going on in that room a few voices. And I was like well maybe it’s from the hallway. No one was in the hallway and then I walked to Elaine’s office and she was sitting at her desk reading the newspaper. So I said Elaine did you just call my name and want to ask me something? She said Nope, I have just been sitting here reading my newspaper. I told her that I was in the band room and that I heard someone call me. And that then I was hearing a conversation in that room. And she laughed and said well Kelly you were the one that drew the ghost out, so I guess he must be following you.
Then there is the time that I got pushed. I was vacuuming my area, and Elaine was there working too at the time when this happened. I was down stairs and vacuuming in the girls locker room, and I must have torqued off Mr. Ghosty. Because I decided that I was just going to pick up the big garbage stuff and instead of sweeping the hard floor, I went in and vacuumed the hard floor. And I stopped and I guess I missed something big from picking it up because my vacuum got plugged and so I stopped and pulled the garbage outta the vacuum tube and then was pushed. I literally flew forward almost fell flat on my face, and the hose part of the vacuum flew off the top of the vacuum. And I stood there for a second after I was picking myself back up and I thought; now Elaine has gone too far. So I took off the vacpak and yelled Elaine that was not cool. So I never heard anything from her. And so I went to the hallway. She wasn’t there. I went upstairs, and guess where she was? In the gym sweeping and mopping. I said um, okay so strange question for you, but did you just come down stairs and shove me really hard and then run up here? And she laughed and said nope, I have been working in here for a while. So I told her that now the ghost was getting physical and that he literally shoved me and that I almost fell. She laughed and said well he was probably in your girl’s locker room sleeping or chilling out and you must have disturbed him. Well that’s pretty much all that happened at my school.
I remember one time there was a marathon of GH’s going on one day, I watched it that whole entire day. Then that evening I felt a presence in my room. It was a male presence. And I could feel him breathing on me and that he wasn’t a friendly guy. And I talked to my parents after I felt this presence for days being in my room. I said I don’t know how come I can’t get rid of him. And my parents said he was probably there because when you are dealing with the paranormal like I had been, by watching GH’s all the time I pretty much invited him. So my dad I begged him to give my room a blessing and I never felt him there again. But he was freaky.
Anyway here are ghost stories. Hilary wanted a compilation of ghost stories so I typed them up and then thought I would just post on my blog. It’s crazy all the things that I have gone through and I never ever really got to choked up about it too much. I told my friends or family at about the time they happened and my friends were like I would pee my pants if that happened to me. But hey this is the girl that broke both of her feet and walked on the for several days til the doctor told me I had to get boots on them and that I was wheelchair bound. ME= one tough cookie. HAHAHA. I <3 GHOSTS. Hey I should get that on a window sticker.

Well yet again, I keep thinking about how much I just need to lose weight. It's so hard when I keep going and going all the time. I really am not a fruit lover. I like fruits when it comes to goodies. For instance Blueberry cheesecake, apple pies, Cherry Cordial chocolate chip cookies. Um so yeah stuff that isn't good for you. I am trying to decide on how I am going to get myself to eat more fruits. Vegatables I like for the most part. I just need to eat more of them as well. Right now I just keep looking at myself in the mirror and thinking I am such a beautiful person. But I hate being so overweight. I swear I look at food and it makes me gain some lbs. I know that one of the other things I need to do is that I need to quit eating after 6:30 that will help a ton. But basically I am always hungry. I need to curb my appetite though. It's hard for me to ignore when I get cravings. I try my hardest to ignore that voice in my head that is saying. "You need to go get some chips and that really yummy Spinach dip that is in the fridge." LOl. And I had made a goal to go walking with my dad at the Rexburg Skate park and that fell through because neither of us has the motivation to do that. I need to find a way to move around more. Because I go from one job to the next. Then I just basically crash. Ugh. What are so good things that you all have done that gets you motivated? I know that there are recipes out there that I can do as well that will be better for me. I just feel bad because I am always going, going, going. :( Ugh. So I haven't lost anything in a very long time and in fact I just keep gaining because I do eat out quite a bit with no exercise and no really movement to get my heart rate up. Well off to another week that I am going to try to do better. Wish me luck. I just want to lose weight so that I can find a guy one day. It's not a ton of fun to be a lone all the time.

Wowsa's all I gotta say....

So for many of you that know I started my job as a Developmental Therapy Tech. I work with adults that have mental and physical handicaps. Thursday the 6th was literally my first day and I went in there and met with Sky my supervisor. I then filled out tons of paperwork and they let me know what I will be doing. For the first few days I will be meeting at the center here in Idaho Falls at Riverside Service Group. Then next week on Tuesday I will be going to meet with a guy one of the clients from River Side and he is just moving into his own apartment and I will be meeting with him and helping him with stuff that he will need to do to get settled into life at his apartment in doing day to day things. He has down syndrome and so I will help him and have to make sure that he does stuff like we do every single day. Make sure that he does a list of things, taken a shower, brushed teeth, deodorant, breakfast. Then when he has to go shopping he will have to find his own ride over to the center or if I know that he has shopping to do I will get the car from the center. Because I can't drive any of the clients in my own car. Then I will take him shopping to get things he needs from lists we will make together. And eventually what will happen down the road is that then he won't have to come to the center. Eventually one day he'll be able to do this on his own and one day get a job and stuff. I will still be working in Rexburg at Adams Elementary cleaning there. I am so blessed and so happy that I have the jobs I have. I hope I can find a full time job but for now I will work hard at these jobs.
Then some days when I don't have to meet up with him, I will be helping there at the center. Can I just say that I really liked going there. A lot of the workers have been so sweet to me, and they have had a lot of patience with me when I have made a few mistakes. There are clients that come in that have either a physical disability or a mental disability and some have both of them. There is one lady that doesn't talk and she is mentally and physically disabled but they try to teach her how to do somethings like to drink the water by herself and to eat from the spoon by herself. So seeing a lot of people that just have no real consistency of life kinda makes me sad, but I am glad that I will be there to help with them.
My first day I was able to help teach a few people in different groups. And there are four clients that come in and they are deaf. So I have already learned quite a bit of sign language. And I will learn a ton more during times when I will help out with those that are deaf. And they say that what I need to do is just pay attention so I have been paying attention. I can't wait to learn even more sign language.
My second day there. The first lady that I worked with was gone and so basically I just went with another girl that was working one on one with a client in the school. And so she just came back from working with this other kid. So I worked with her, and then to get paid we have to fill out tons and tons of paperwork and if there is even one single mistake we have to redo the whole paper. Holy snozberrie. This can get very complicated and I don't completely understand the paperwork too much. But I was with this girl the second day and she and I filled out all the books. Then She goes oh crap! Oh crap! And I was like oh no what? And she was like we have to redo every single book that we just did. Because we marked everyone's papers as that we had done all the people singly. And we were supposed to have marked that we did every person in groups. But she had to go to her clients house right then. So basically she says I am sorry can you redo all the books? And I say yes I will redo all the books. It took me an hour to redo everything. But hey it was a learning lesson that I have to pay attention to exactly what I am doing. I hope that I will continue to like this job and I am sure I will. I really like going there. I will still be working at the school district in Rexburg and I will be going back and forth for now. But maybe I might have to find another part time job in I.F. Because the roads are going to be getting snowy. But for now I am going to work both that I have. I am so glad that I have the jobs I do. I am so blest. Thanks Heavenly Father and Jesus for helping me.

~How to Decorate HALLOWEEN ~

It's almost Halloween. HOORAY.... My favorite Holiday. Well I think that since Last Year I was in a wheelchair for Halloween that I must have been really missing Halloween Decorations. I have really gone all out this year. This never happens. I am not really the "put up decorations" type usually. I have decorated other years but this year I have had tons of fun and my front entry way is decorated and now my dining room. I have decided to let you all know how I did it so that you can see that yes it takes time but it doesn't have to cost a ton of mula. Things you'll need to decorate are things that you may even have at home.
I used construction paper, decorative paper designs (I got mine at Porter's), Scissors, glue, tape, String, bedding stuffing, & basically colored paper to cut out from. I also was on a website called www.eighteen25.blogspot.com, and they had some stencils I used for the bats and ghosts. Plus that website has amazing decorating ideas.
I used the Internet as well. I googled drawings for Halloween witches and Halloween Haunted Houses. I found the one I wanted and, all I did was use the picture as a reference and I drew it just by glance and cut it out. :) I think I did pretty good since I am not really an artist. I just use my site and followed their design.
Here's the pictures of what everything looks like from how I did it to the final product.
























I actually had a ton of fun making all the decorations. The only thing that I disliked was how time consuming it became ha ha ha.
