Happy List
As you can probably tell, lately more than ever, I have been a “the glass is definately half EMPTY” sort of person. I have been really needing a mood boost. Even though I went to Hawaii this last weekend (which was AMAZING), the happiness just doesn’t last when I get back to my real life (especially having to do with work…). So, last night I was trying to come up with a...

Since the sun doesn’t feel like coming out today in Seattle, I have taken it upon myself to bring the sun to you in the form of some Etsy lovin’. Here are some favorites I found today on my lunch break:

Easter Dinner
Mashed potatoes (with butter)
Glazed carrots (with brown sugar and butter)
Deviled Eggs (with mayonnaise, might as well be butter)
Roasted aparagus (with evoo) (in the toaster oven, bc the real oven caught on fire-no joke!)
Baguette (with butter)
Champagne (no butter)
Normally, I attempt to cook with as little butter and oil as possible, however, seeing as it was a holiday, I decided to go...

Bah! anyone knows, one you fall off, it is 10 times harder to get back on track. it’s ok though, i will get back on the track/in the saddle/on...

I struggle with my weight. THERE. I said it. Sadly, it is true and unfortunately, I have been struggling with weight for practically my whole life. Ever since 3rd grade when I quit ballet because I thought I was too fat. Yup. I was probably 8 or 9 at the time. What can I say? I grew up in a very food centric home where soda and junk food were treats and parents who didn’t want to deprive...

I AM ALIVE!!!
Yep, still kicking…in case you were worried. My last post was basically informing you guys out there that I was still alive too. Just checking in. I know I haven’t really been blogging at ALL lately, which I thought was for my own psychologically well-being. Turns out, maybe I need this blog as a creative outlet. So anyway, blah blah blah. In the spirit of getting reacquainted with you...

helllooo? is anyone there? it's me, katie!
i imagine crickets chirping in the background of my little bloggie. if anyone is still out there, i am sure you are all waiting on the edge of your seats, wondering where i have been…considering my last post was about going out during pride weekend, i can assure you, the gays didn’t kidnap me in neighbors or anything like that. although, wouldn’t that be an adventure?!
i decided...

And, snacks do not help. i am totally ready for...

um….who said that mixing vodka and champagne was a good idea? delish and lovely, check. hangover inducing, check. i went out in west seattle last night with my roomies friends. while i am proud of myself for getting myself out of the house and pjs w/out bf, i probably should have stuck with beer. on the upside, i had a great time checking out the bars over there and making up dance moves all...
precious memory: foo foo juice
i just remembered this for some reason: when i was little, my dad would call his jovan musk calogne “foofoo juice”. and when he put it on he would always tell us that it was made from “foo foos” and people go out into the woods and sqeeze the juice from the foo foos to make the calogne. for years, i truly believed this, probably since he told me when i was little and...
June 5, 2009: TGIF x 1239480298308023
I feel like I live for the weekends. This weekend, bf went home to his parent’s house in California, leaving me to fend for myself this weekend. As I was taking him to the airport this evening, I got a flat tire! Bf stepped up and changed the tire in the front of the airport in the loading zone in just 15 minutes! Not gonna lie, seeing him take charge and do it with so much confidence was...
gotta love the almighty Oprah
“On one of The Secret shows, Oprah gave an example of the scientific power of the concept. She said that once, while she was hosting an episode about a man who could blow really big soap bubbles, she was thinking to herself, “Gee, that looks fun. I would like to blow some bubbles.” When she returned to her office after the show, there, on her desk, was a silver Tiffany...
Shh! Don't tell anyone!
I was alone in the gym today…sooo I had a little dance party all by my self! Elliptical machines are no fun and the movement is too restricted. Problem solved!

may 28, 2009: love
today, i was working with a patient who is developmentally disabled. she is 47 and has an iq of about 77. she had a cut on her foot and wanted a new bandage on it before we began testing. so, we left the door open to her room so the nurse could come in and then she said to me: “you know, people walk by my room and i smile and nobody ever smiles back. there is so little love in this world and...

The sunrise is my alarm clock. Fresh air is my coffee. Mankind are my coworkers. The sun high above signals lunch time. The wind is my music. The shade is my stress. Plants are my anxiety. Books are my gossip. The stars are my television. The clouds are my movies. Movement is my drug. Stillness is my other drug.
Everything is real. This is...

from the land of shoes (dsw!)
today, i bought these and these. i felt like my shoes needed a spring update. i can’t wait to wear the keds with no socks and cropped denim. and the gold flats are just a staple and will probably be worn to death to work.
r.i.p. marty
i regret to inform you that i recieved news that little marty passed away. i found out last night. the paws people mailed me a letter. he was a berwick’s wren. i cried when i found out, because i really thought he would be ok. i am tearing up just writing this. but, i guess, i am glad to know we saved him from being squished and made him comfy in his final days. you can read about how we...
sorry, seattle, i am not starbucks fan.
on friday, i always treat myself to a fancy coffee at the starbucks at work. even though i don't like starbucks coffee, i still feel like it is a treat. since today was my friday, i decided to treat myself, per usual...
me: can i get a grande nonfat cafe au lait, please?
guy barista: sure, cafe au lait, please (as he is writing on the cup)
bitch making drinks: it's misto. starbucks calls it a cafe misto. it's
the same thing. (rolls eyes)
me: uh, ok.
me (in my head): there is no need to be rude
like that just bc you work at starbucks and i have a real job.
