Ya learn something new everyday.....

Ok. So my real name is Mckesley, but at work (and everywhere else) I go by Kess. Its a little easier, and shorter to spell. I have heard about every version of Mckesley and Kess that could be imagined. Cass, Kass, Kiss, Cess, Mckelsey, Mckensley, Castle ( .......really ?) etc. I have also come to expect/accept all sorts of responses..... anywhere from compliments, to insults, "Wow your parents must hate you ....... " (thanks footlocker guy). Well last week I got a new response. I was calling a company and did my usual intro... " Hi this is Kess I'm calling from ISC Bioexpress.... " and got the usual response of "I'm sorry your name is what?" But this gentleman was different, he followed with, "Oh my gosh, I can't beleive that is your name, you must get this all the time, but I loved the character off of Star Trek that was named Kes, she was so thoughtful and caring and I was devastated when her character was written off.".......... I just figured he had misheard me, went along with the conversation, and didn't think much more of it. Then today, another Treky comes out of the wood work and says, "your name is Kes, huh, I really liked that character on Star Trek." This sparked my curiosity and so I googled it. These Treky's speak the truth, there indeed was a character named Kes.

Things I've learned today-

1) There was a character on Star Trek named Kes

2) Never question a true Treky ;)

The pressure of a first blog......

Ok, so I have resisted getting a blog for quite some time, but I gave into my friends peer pressure. Now I can't promise that my blogs will be frequent, but I will try. It's intimidating knowing that people will actually be reading something I wrote, there is a certain amount of pressure to make it even more entertaining.......

I guess I will start with some introductions:

Ryan: Ryan is my hubby. He is 22, works for a medical billing company, and is working on his Criminal Justice degree. As of next week we will have been married for 9 months. Crazy ! He loves watching lost, especially with his way fun wife ;) Loves basketball (Jazz) and football (Utes/Broncos).

Hurley: Our pride and joy !! She is named after Hurley on Lost, cause were obsessed with that show. She is a Beabull, which is a mix between a bulldog and beagle. Hurley likes to........ well sleep. That is about all she does. She occasionaly likes to chew on a good ol raw hide, but for the most part, she'll just cuddle up on the couch and snooze. Ryan actually caught her sleeping with her eyes open last night. Creepy ! She is way spoiled, and we tend to humanize her way to much. For example, adding dialog for her to conversations ;)

Kess: Thats me ! I am 23 and work for a lab product distributer. I spend most of the day on the phone taking orders. Its nice cause I work in the same city that I live, so no commute !! I'm pretty easy going . Its nice being able to just go home and spend time with my husband and not worry about school work etc. (still getting used to that freedom ) My sister in law talked me into doing a mini triathalon with her, so I am currently training for that. Thats about all I can think of to tell you about me. More will come out in the future I'm sure ;)

P.S Sorry my picures at work are limited. So this is a picture of our doggy Hurley. I don't know how to fix pictures within the post yet.... so this will have to do.
