Cold! Stale! Later!

2006-03-20T14:55:00.000-08:00

After a Church overdose last night with Chris, Sarah and Patrick (we attended Kathy's concert - she has an incredibly beautiful voice!) we swung by Krispy Kreme's to grab some Hot! Fresh! Now! We immediately scarfed down 8 of our 12 doughnuts as it was unanimously decided that Cold! Stale! Later! just didn't have quite the same ring to it...and what did we have for dessert? An excellent rendition of Barbara Anne set to words asking Kathy to sing at Chris' and my wedding...could a Sunday night BE ANY BETTER?!

Crack Bears

2006-03-10T18:55:00.000-08:00

Last night Toni and Josh convinced Chris and I that it was no longer acceptable that we had not seen the "Dude". So, off we went to the movies and looking back I should have pulled out my old middle school flannels and torn jeans but I was indeed allowed into the theater in my "Wilderness Sheik" outfit and I have to say the movie was enjoyable! But, the best part by far = "Crack Bears"!!! Josh purchased these tasty bite sized creatures for mid-movie nourishment and they were very possibly the most excellent gummy bears I have EVER had - just the right amount of gummy, chewy and flavor...I don't know if I can ever be satisfied with normal gummy bears again...long live the "crack bears"!

Talk about a turkey trot!

2006-02-24T12:46:00.000-08:00

As I went to torment Sarah for, quite possibly, the millionth time today, I was greeted by the sight of 10 turkeys staring at Sarah as she typed. Granted they were on the other side of the window but CRAP!!! Really?! Ten freaking turkeys? So what did we do?...were we mature and simply respected the turkey's rights to stare at Sarah undisturbed? Oh no, of course not! We ran outside and herded the turkeys around the parking lot...who says Seneca Center can't be as amusing as a barrel of monkeys! Monkeys...huh...now that would be a sight!

Chateau Nar Nar

2006-02-22T12:12:00.000-08:00

When one spends $123.12 on a hotel suite one would think that it would be void of mystery spots, hairs in the bed and stains on the toilet...but alas...Sarah, Chris, Shasta and I suffered through 10 hours of the horror that is Chateau Nar Nar - a.k.a. the Quality Inn in Tulare. Sarah was so wigged out that she wouldn't even take her socks off...I swear she slept in every piece of clothing she brought! We even started out in two beds but when Shasta and Sarah proved too much for the flimsy pull-out (if anyone asks the spring was already sprung!) we quadruple spooned in the king bed in mortal fear of the man-eating curtains! Unfortunately, this proved to be only the beggining of a long, slightly odd cabin trip. But as always, we laughed it off - hysterically at times - and went on our merry way. Thank God for good friends and digital cameras!

Valentine's Day...

2006-02-14T16:04:00.000-08:00

Huh - Valentine's Day...feels like any other day - only everwhere I look scary cellophane wrapped bears stare at me... Pretty flowers! There! I did it! I found a positive about valentine's day...except of course for celebrating the fact that Chris loves me, which I am pretty sure he does everyday, I have delved deep to uncover the best part of Valentine's Day...definately the flowers...yup...the flowers...

A Whirl-wind Tour...

2006-01-17T16:48:00.000-08:00

As my co-worker pointed out - a weekend trip to Indiana sounds quite posh! I had not thought about it in quite that light before...maybe my weariness of airports, taco shaped beds and tranquilizers in the food (not to mention the 110 degree weather inside) poisoned my optimistic outlook on things...

But if you really get down to it, a 48 hour trip to the Midwest (yes, I will concede that it is INACCURATELY referred to as the midwest) is quite the amazing thing! You get to fly 2000 miles with wonderful friends, eat pre-prepared and quite yummy food, hang out with people who have lived amazingly full lives and be reminded that aging has its benefits (namely putting together LOTS and LOTS of puzzles)! But as I walked the halls of Chris' grandpa's place I was reminded that friendship and love can bring all of us together...no matter how young, how old, or how ornry we may be :)

Guess I was right all along huh?

Holiday Letters O' Fun

2005-12-19T16:22:00.000-08:00

Why is it that you are forced to write a witty, appropriate, all-inclusive, yet not too revealing holiday letter about your life for friends and family? Is it possible to address each audience and yet make sense? I tell you - this is the hardest thing I have done all year! Holiday letters are a ridiculous tradition yet I have fallen victim to it once again...so, my apologies for those who must endure it...and where the heck is yours!?

Highly Intellectual Discourse by Drunkards

2005-12-12T21:54:00.000-08:00

I would like to blame all of the following on alcohol...though I find it would give all involved far to much credit..!

"Well, it' not that rare, it happens to some people." - Katie 10/10/2000

"Catalogs are just like advertisements..." -Toni 1/25/2001

"Why do you not have bubble bath?" - Toni
"Because we are not men." - Josh
(followed by a bubble bath drawn with love and dishwashing soap!)

"Dogs are a lot like people - only they are dogs." - Marsha

"I can ejaculate more than 8 feet." - Patrick

"I'm not going to sit around all night and watch you beat up on hookers." - Katie (after a million hours of watching guys play GTA)

"Nuns are just bitter chich thugs with good PR" - That one's for you Toni!

"To the cloud's left!"

and as a finale...

"I don't crave it - I just want one..." - Katie

kat-p - thanks dad!

2005-12-12T16:13:00.000-08:00

Having the most common name in the world, i found myself one of 5 Katie's in 4th grade...after the popular girls took Katie, Katherine, and Kate i was left standing alone without an identity. My wonderful father, reccomended that my teacher (who was a close family friend) call me Kat...well, apparantly the 4th girl beat me to this very original derivative of my name and i found as my teacher did roll call the next day that i was forever and irreparably labeled Kat-P. At the time this sent me into a tizzy of tears and now, after embracing the wonder that is ME, i can smirk at the crazy horrified blond girl...thanks dad - for a great character building experience!
