salvation under my breath

So my brother and I are heading to L.A. for a few days and I am excited about that. I think though I might just say for a week or two, get my mind right and everything for whats to come so if anyone wants to hang with me let me know I am sure I can fit you into my schedules lol.

Damn, I’m heading back home to Lima for a couple weeks. I would have loved to have seen you! I hope you guys have a good time, and remember... Stock up on gas money!

So, I am currently in New York and when they said ‘ New York, is the city that never sleeps’ they really weren’t joking, were they?  The devil has finally made it to the big apple, everyone I’ve met on socials,  if you’re in New York, if we happen to meet on the streets or on the grocers,  don’t be shy, come say hi, we can have a cuppa.  If you see a lost devil with a confused paddy and a child, please help us.  It means, the instructions on the map were unclear and we’ve ended up  in circles. 

I am not in New York, but if and when I do visit I know where to find you!

I can’t believe how busy summer can get man. And my mom keeps dragging me to all these parties….. anybody want to come and keep me company? I already checked and apparently taking my dog is frowned upon. 

I’m sorry --- no dogs?

My roommate’s dog stole my lunch and yet he is still so cute and damn it, I’m taking pictures of him again.

Can you ever really be mad at an animal for anything? Even when they’re “bad”, they’re just too cute not to not get angry at. It just seems so wrong.

I, for one am glad to be in the Hamptons for a little bit and on the beach. The weather is gorgeous like everyone here, the food is amazing and all I need now is a snow-cone and one of my favorite books to read while I soak up the sun. Before I go any further, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Kiara and apart of the Rose clan. Now, what is everyone else up to on this fine Sunday evening?

You’re the second person on here who I have seen go to the Hamptons. Color me jealous. But I’m glad you’re having a great time. Sounds heavenly.

First full day in NYC and I have been in and out of more stores in this city today than I ever have in all my years of living and working in it… But honestly, it was worth the look on Ridley’s face every time they double checked that it was okay if they bought something. Don’t think they’re used to the fact I have more money than either of us will ever know what to do with. 

We spent infinitely longer in the Disney Store than expected and I’m definitely investing in annual passes to the parks for their birthday, because never in the time they’ve been with me have I seen them so excited over something and I can’t wait to see their reaction to the parks. I also have a feeling I’m going to suddenly become far more educated on Disney movies than I ever maybe wanted to be. Though, I’m hoping that will wait until after we get back to LA.

Well, with the waffling out of the way, we’ll be in the city through the end of the month so if anyone wants to meet up and do stuff, let me know. 

You know if you feel the need to binge shop again, I am more than willing to help out.. 

Thought I’d managed to not get sunburnt this weekend… and then I got home and Ienzo immediately managed to find the one spot on my body where I was, in fact, sunburnt and take up residency there. Like, sir, you are not supposed to be there, please move. 

But then, is it really a trip to the Hamptons if I don’t come back with a weird tan line?

Hope everyone else had a good Fourth of July weekend, and to anyone who had to witness me bludgeoning the bag of ice… I’m only slightly sorry.

Sounds painful, but worth it because... You get a cute animal to comfort you when you get home, and you went to the Hamptons. 

Anybody else ever get the really annoying itch for a new tattoo but have no idea what you want or where to get it? Or to start a new hobby but not know which one to pick? Like, I’ve been thinking about skateboarding and maybe getting the start of my Artemis tattoo, but I’m not sure, y’know? Then I’ve also been watching way too many free running videos and a lot of obstacle course races. Like, I could do that stuff. Not without some training, but I could put in the work. I already work out a lot and I’m still really flexible and good at lifting my own body weight, it can’t be that hard.

Famous last words, I know, but I have been really bored lately and it’s getting a little too hot to work in my garage on my woodworking but I could probably build something that Alex and I could both get use out of, which could be a fun thing to do together.

With that said, anybody have hobby suggestions that are more indoor related? I feel like I don’t have enough of those.

Tattoo’s re hot. I have like 4. An artemis tattoo would look awesome, go for it!

Pride was wonderful and such a good way to de-stress oneself by celebrating love, self-acceptance, achievements, legal rights and the alphabet mafia with your loved ones. Being the new police lieutenant is hard, however being one at a new city has been challenging. I never back out from a challenge though so it’s been interesting.

Interesting good? Interesting bad?

Holy Crap! How is my little girl going to be 3 next week? And my little boy will be one in a month? Time goes by so fast. I cannot wait to throw Eloise her Disney princess Party next week. How is everyone else? What is everyone else getting up to?

A Disney Princess Theme is awesome. I’d throw one for one of mine as an adult. Who is her favorite Disney princess?

So i finally have a new song out, it came out today and I absolutely love it, it’s called Drivers Licence and you can listen on all streaming platforms, and watch the video here. I am very happy with this song and I worked super hard on it and think it’s a really relatable song. Tell me what you think. 

Wow. This song is great. I kind of get this Adele “Someone Like You” feeling about this song. Like you know how the song strikes a pang of sadness in the heart? I have the same feeling with this. It’s so pretty.

Three months since I bored you all with my life update? I’ve been slackin’ – to be fair, things at Heathers has been going well, as have homeschooling the twins. J and I have been just getting on with life… so is this adulthood?

I can’t say I’ve done much besides get to hear my amazing co-star sing every night and muck around with a new video game soundscore. I’ve been looking towards planning what comes next, with Mando on a break until summer.

I’m packing the whole fam off to Los Angeles for three months come April. 

I have been given the oppourtunity to coach on the latest upcoming series of The Voice Kids. What could be cooler that being humbled by the talent these little legends have? Got something else in the works too that will occupy my meanwhile. In the words of Riversong: Hush, now — spoilers.

There you have it, another boring update from Cooper Anderson who has finally entered adulthood at the early age of thirty-two. How’s everyone else getting on? I’m definitely looking forward to welcoming more sunshine days.

Wait they have a version of The Voice for kids? I should check that out. Though the last time I tried a kids version of a show was Masterchef Jr., and all that did was make me feel bad about myself.

Apparently a really good way to horrify people in the gym is to, when you dislocate your shoulder mid set, not only continue to do pull ups, just one-handed, but to then simply pop it back into place and keep going as if it didn’t happen once the set is done. Like… is it that unusual? The pain barely registers on the cramps to child birth scale for me. Hell, pretty sure I’ve had a stubbed toe that hurt worse.

Speaking of child birth, how is my child turning four in eight days? Little bear is growing up too fast on me. Anyway… how is everyone else fairing today?

I don’t know if that’s horrifying or actually kind of badass and awesome?
