Manic Monday for May 4th

Katie — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:12:04 +0000

Which household chore do you dislike the most?

I dislike them all, but the ones that really get me are laundry and dishes. It’s a never ending battle. As soon as the kitchen is spotless it’s time to cook a meal. As soon as every scrap of laundry is washed and folded it’s time to change into pajamas or whatnot. It’s not like washing windows or scrubbing a toilet. With those, you’re good for at least a week.

What’s the best museum you’ve ever visited?

I haven’t seen many I guess. I really like all kids museums. Hands on activities rock!

It’s Star Wars Day today. I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars movies. What “common” movies haven’t you seen?

I think I’ve got most oldies covered. I don’t see many new ones, so I haven’t seen that Twilight movie yet. {collective gasp from the aduience} Yes, I know.

Taggy Goodness

Katie — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:19:43 +0000

I’ve been tagged by Tamara of Quarter of an inch, so here’s my… uhm, entry?

“Open the 6th picture folder on your computer, open the 6th photo and blog it. Write something about it. Then tag 6 more people to do the same.”

This picture is horrible. It’s fuzzy and there’s a shadow running through it. I like it though. It’s my little brother posing while getting ready to play WoW. Notice the cute pink tower in the lower corner, it’s my moms computer — doesn’t that rock? He’s single ladies. I’ll give you his email

As far as tagging people, well… if you’d like to play please help yourself. Just leave a little comment to let us know and we’ll come visit once you post. Capiche?

I’ve been tagged!

Katie — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:26:22 +0000

I have been tagged by Tamara of 1/4 of an inch. Yay!

Without further ado:

1.) I absolutely abhor clowns in any shape and form. *twitch* They really make me get creepy crawlies and I have to look away. I’m always afraid that I may go balistic if one ever approaches me in person.

2.) My husband pesters me to stop drinking soda, and I know I should. But I fear the caffiene withdrawls I get . I also fear trying to get through the day without caffiene.

3.) I desperately want a little girl, but I need to drop a lot of weight (I’d be happy with 80 pounds) and I’d like to have the 3k for my homebirth midwife saved up already.

4.) I have a problem following through and finishing projects. I have 4 sewing projects that need finishing and a ton of stuff that needs doing for Halloween.

5.) Speaking of Halloween, it is by far my favorite holiday — followed by Christmas and St Patrick’s Day.

6.) I spend massive amounts of time scouring blogs for tutorials. Much more time that I actually spend doing the tutorials. Sad.

7.) Matt and I are trying to get into Real Estate investing, but we’re having a hard time getting the money together for the tuition. I’m really scared about some of the creative financing ideas he is coming up with. I don’t want to ruin the little credit we have.

Wow. That felt like a mini version of PostSecret!

As far as tagging people, well that never works. If you feel like playing please join me. Leave me a comment if you decide to play along.

Oh! I will tag Tina of MizzTinaBamBina. Go check out her blog!

I’m it!

Katie — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:36:54 +0000

I’ve been tagged by Elizabeth so here’s goes.

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post and list their names, linking to them.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.

Five quick ones:
1.) When it comes to crafts and the computer, I have the opposite of a short attention span. I literally have to be dragged away some days.
2.) I hated having the same name as people growing up, so I hope my kids don’t go through the same thing.
3.) I really want to raise Urban Chickens.
4.) I’m extreeemely self-conscious. at all times. (I’ll just leave this one from E.)
5.) I worked at a fabric store while in High School and had almost no interest in sewing or crafting then.

Now it’s your turn Nicky, Sara, Juliette, DeAnna, and Amy.

Just a number, children and Zed.

Katie — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 23:49:17 +0000

What is your ideal age?

For what? Cheese? Myself? I dunno. Really age is just a number — life is more about reaching a certain point of wisdom and common sense before you get old and crotchity. Seriously. There’s a point where the rise of one meets the fall of the other and I never want to go past it.

What is your best excuse for being late?

I usually blame it on Matt. He’s horrible with times. I swear it takes him twice as long to shower and the hair on his head is only inches long. It takes a good five minutes just to detangle my mane. If I don’t blame it on Matt I usually use the kids or traffic. Pretty unoriginal.

If you had to give yourself a nickname what would it be?

I dunno. I’d want a cool one. I once thought about ‘Z’, but I wouldn’t want to go to Canada and be called Zed. That’s the old wizard from The Sword of Truth series.

Theft, Romance and Death

Katie — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 23:06:34 +0000

You have accomplished a difficult task and hear someone else taking the credit. How do you deal with the situation?

Truthfully it depends on the task. If Matt claims to fold those previously mentioned 17 loads of laundry… oh well. Actually, it depends on how much of a brat I feel like being. If it’s not something huge like inventing a pollution-free renewable power source then there’s really not much to fight about.

If you had to marry someone that you presently know unromantically, and spend the rest of your life as their spouse, who would you choose?

Can it be a girl, because I would so marry Nicky. Period. She completes me.

If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are living now?

Absolutely. I’d only have one year to make to huge impression on my children and family. I’d need to become the persons that I want them to become, but I’d have to do it almost overnight. I’d need to make financial changes as well, so no one is strapped with my debt after I’m gone. I have a long list of things I’d like to do before shuffling off this mortal coil, but these two things come first.
