Hey kate...

This post is to inspire Kate to blog. Thats right kate, peer pressure.
I found some funny comics relating to blogs.
I'm interested in your day to day nonsense so if you could just start one up that'd be great kthnx.
And as far as having time to do it, you could squeeze it in between painting your nails and reading this months vogue ;) jk.















See, blogging is cool. Its like an online journal.
You can say whatever you want. And you can complain when you aren't notified to bring your hatchet....
















Just don't blog at work, you might get in trouble....



















Hahaha and this one is for any mother who blogs about their kid... which... is all of you.

















Anyway. Kate i'm totally teasing, sort of.... It'd be fun if you had one but I know you're busy riding on 50 foot boats, getting massages, and watching the sun set over the great wide ocean.
I started a new book today, since I'm off the zombie sauce for a while, I needed a good distraction.
Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking-Glass. So its like 2 books in one :) I actually heard it was really really good and kind of a creepy twist on how we view alice. I remember when I was little and my mom recorded over Alice in wonderland with BAMBI, freaking BAMBI folks. I was pretty upset at the time, i'm... over it now... I think... (no worries mom, its probably for the best since it was basically symbolic for taking hallucinogenic substances and what not) Anyway I watched it again recently and it actually made me cry. Poor alice is so confused and sad. The part where the broom-esque creatures sweep away her path and all she has is a rock to sit on and she sings a sad sad song about never taking her own advice and she cries and cries. Ya I know, i'm a baby, but this clearly reflects my own life. I never take anyones advice, I hardly ever do what I tell myself to do. Sometimes I even wonder what the hell I was thinking when I did this or that... But anyway, thats just the cartoon version. I'll keep you updated on how the book goes.
Tomorrow is going to be a scary day at work. Mutany, I foresee a mutany.
Love you all.

Rotton watermelon

So i've been thinking a lot lately about where i'm going to move to, or if i'm going to move at all, or who I could live with if I did move or if I did stay. Lots of options I guess. I was thinking about how angry I am at compost girl, yes thats what we'll call her in this blog. I sit home alone at my house and my anger keeps building and building because it smells funny because of all of her weird stuff, she wrote all over the walls the Sarah and I painted last summer (with chalk, what are we 5 now? come on girl, COME ON work with me), and the compost has got to go I just can not deal with it. Finding a giant bag of rotting watermelon in my kitchen just was the last straw for me. So I sit here and i'm angry and I think of all the things I want to say to her when she gets back from work tomorrow. I even rehearse what I'd like to say in the shower. I lay in bed and I lose sleep over it. But today when I was talking to my friend about it she said something that made my entire outlook on the situation change- "So you would rather kick someone out with nowhere to go than try to compromise?"
I am pretty selfish sometimes.
And sometimes when I try to tell someone how I feel it comes out all wrong. Even when I think i'm just being honest and straight forward, people think i'm being really mean. I generally have good intentions and would never be out right rude to someone unless i'd received that kind of treatment from them first.

Well Kit, you're right. I need to compromise. I need to lay down the law but I need to compromise as well. I want everyone to be happy and I want it to be fair. This girl has no idea that she is even doing anything remotely annoying at all. Which... might make it more annoying for me? I don't know. So i've decided that i'm going to try my hardest to be really assertive tomorrow. I need to be firm and make it clear that there are certain things that need to change. But I might have to bend a little too. I guess we'll see how it goes. I don't feel like jamming a fork in her eye anymore though. I'd rather be nice, I realize that gets me a lot farther in life. Mama always told me to kill em' with kindness. Or wait, didn't she also say if you don't have anything nice to say, just say nothing at all? She also told us if we didn't abide she'd make us wear our seat belts :) I love you mommy.

In other news, the gaydom of my cats is still pending investigation. Innocent until proven otherwise but I have received more incriminating photos.




Exhibit A.... Meeting in the living room, giving kisses as they pass by each other...












Exhibit B.... Family snuggles. You can't see it because my christmas tube covers it but I bet they had their tails intertwined.













Exhibit C.... Mid day naps together, Elton resting his head on Coops bottom.










I guess i'll just learn to accept my children no matter who they choose to love. :)
Here is a cute picture of the good room mate. This is my long time friend Mary Beth Bates.



She is a good cook, so is her mother.










Since i'm bored at work, I plan to bore you all with photographs. I have literally thousands of pictures stored on the web.... SO i'm going to start with something that makes me smile really big. If you're ever feeling blue and you need a good chuckle, grab your digital camera, point it at yourself, and blow your lips real hard like a horsey.


























































































Impressive flappers Boy.















Camille needs to practice ;)




























*siiiigh*
Those make me happy :) I think thats what i'll do when I go home tonight. Yes yes I know I lead a pretty pathetic life, thats when you know its a sad life, when you're excited to go home so you can flap your lips for the digital camera. But hey, whatever makes you happy right?

I found this little picture a while back and it reminded me a lot of my family.



















Not because they eat a lot of lard or anything hahaha but just because they tease me a little for not eating meat, and they about killed over when I started baking vegan cupcakes. Now now I must say that my family has been so so so so much more understanding a tolerant and accommodating of my eating habits lately. There is always yummy food that I can eat at dinner and Mom always asks me what she can make me. And papa is always more than happy to BBQ up my veggie burgers :) I really appreciate it so much. It was hard for a while when i'd come to dinner and there would be not much I could eat. I know its my choice to eat this way, and i'm not complaining at all. I'm just really happy that my family loves me no matter what I do or don't eat and its good to know they are willing to order and try new things or bake new things just for me. I love you guys, thank you. And Dad, who knows, maybe someday we'll chew on some steak together again. But for now you can just keep blowing the meaty aroma in my direction.





















Also this picture here reminds me of Kara Burns aka Peterson. This is a shout out to her fo sho. And to any other whiteys who find themselves speakin gangsta talk. Kate- Camille- you know you do it. Who can resist that old school rap? I openly admit to frequently listening to Coolio- Gangsters paradise. Snoop dogg, Dr Dre, Eminem... Not their new jams though, I'm talkin circa 2000. Back when the jams were jamsey and we were able to flow like original G units.















Ok I think thats all i'll bore you with tonight...
WAIT NO... One more thing guys....
If you love me you'll buy me one of these....



Only like 1400 Bones, so no big deal right?
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow.

Also...


This is why i'm late for work everyday.
Its also the answer to the same question I hear all the time, "howcome we never hangout??"

Elton, blame Elton.

Macaaaaw! Macaaaaw!!!

Totally had the best time ever at the zoo with my sisters, mommy, olivia and kellen.
It'd been a while since i'd been to the zoo, I generally don't enjoy going it makes me pretty sad. I don't like seeing huge animals in cages. I know I know the zoo keepers give them a good life but why can't we just leave them where they are? We humans think we're super bad ass and we can just put them in cages to gawk at. The monkeys looked sad, so did the rhino. Anyway, other than me wanting to let them all roam free... it was a blast.














Good times in the lion head :)





























Probably the cutest picture of us girls I've seen so far....















Kate and Mama.
Aaaaand then we met up again later for dinner for Dads birthday. He's 52 today. Happy birthday papa!
Olivia likes brocoli.














So i'm just chillin at work, not a lot going on right now.
Sarahs birthday was yesterday, I met up with her and some friends last night. She turned 23, but she didn't want to be 23 because "nobody likes you when you're 23" so I told her she can stay 22 til next year. Fine by me!

Its mothers day yay! I love my mommy so much. She is so good to me. I couldn't ask for a better mother really everyone should be jealous that my mom is so cool. I should also give a shout out to Camille, since she's a mother too. Weird. haha.

And all you other lovely mothers out there. Celebrate!
<3

Thanks mom and Camille for helping me make a cake yesterday :) I don't what i'd do without your creative minds!! The cake was kittylicious. mmmm hmmm. I wish I had a picture of it but by the time I got home the kitty face had smeared to one side :( boo.
Had a pretty great night last night.
Made Seth try some shrimp and... lets see for the past 3.5 years of knowing him i've never seen him eat a drop of seafood but uhhh what can I say, the kid loves me and i'm persuasive as all hell.



















He hated it :) But at least he KNOWS he hates it, instead of just thinking he hated it without trying it.
This is the I hate shrimp face- and I'm making a Teehee woowoo face.














Then he let me ride his bike :) Look Ma! No gears!!



















Someday I'll have a fixie of my own... yes... yes. I will.

I drank too much coffee today. 12 oz. = perfect.... 20 oz. = bloated and far too alert.



















Oh and just in case anyone forgot, Olivia is the coolest kid ever.



















If you were like 200 pounds overweight would you eat an entire bowl of creampuffs (about 15 puffs) in front of all your coworkers?
If you hadn't shaved your legs in 5 years would you wear a short dress to work?

Just some thoughts I had today.

happy birthday KC

Herroooo
I'm a tad late but it was KC's birthday on the 30th. As well as Erin Nielsons aka North? right? I think its Mickies birthday too. Hooray!
Anyhow KC turned 18, even though he is a man now, we're still going to call him The Boy. I find it funny that even neighbors and friends call him the boy. Sometimes people are like "uhhh are you sure he likes that?" Well.... I don't know... I figure if he disliked being called the Boy he'd cry or something and since he hasnt had a mental breakdown from it yet, I assume we're still good to go on calling him the boy.
We had dinner at PF Changs.... mmmmmmm twas tasty as usual. I appreciate Kellens awareness of my non meat eating- he ordered a lovely eggplant dish for us all :) I challenged papa to eating a little hot red chili pepper. Uhhh BIG MISTAKE, I am NOT macho like I thought I was. He ate it with no sweat however I was sweating for sure. I could hardly breathe after and anything I ate after that just tasted like fire. I swear I felt it when I pooped it out the next day. TOo much info? Probably but hey I'm being honest and my butt was ON FIRE.
Anyway it was a good time, I love you KC. Here are some pictures from that night. Don't mind my nappy greasy face/hair. I needs a hurrrcut.

Ok so here is the big bunch of us, minus the most good looking member, Katie....














Camille and I looking geeky as usual....














Olivia being the cutest damn thing on the planet, giggling quite loudly, probably upsetting the tables around us but uhhh who cares right? I'll judo chop anyone who has beef with her giggles or loud noises.














And then another one, where I was mid-sentence, Camille still lookin supa-fly.















So there you have it. I heart birthdays.

In other news, my room mate listens to blue grass at very inappropriate early hours. She also doesn't eat sugar or swear. Two things I may or may not do excessively. But hey to each his/her own. Room mates ARE HARD TO DEAL WITH. If anyone of you knows a super awesome 1 bedroom house downtown/sugarhouse area that is like Free.99, let me know and i'll move in asap.

The gaydom of my two boy cats seems pretty certain lately although it is still pending investigation. What do you guys think?
































I think halloween is my favorite holiday by far. You get to wear whatevsies without ridicule. Eating excessive amounts of candy is not looked down upon. Plus its spooky, and i'm into that.
Sarah and I had a really really excellent halloween this year, just thought i'd show you guys this because Its funny :)













I once dated a guy who went by the name of Jefe. Jefecito. Little boss. He was actually quite tall though. Anyway he was nice I guess, we had fun together. One day I was in his room and I found an old bible so I opened it up and he had written all over the inside of it with some of the following phrases, some I wont repeat...
666
Jesus is at McDonalds
Jesus hates fags....

Needless to say that was a very short relationship. Dating is so hard. I meet so many good lookin guys who just turn out to be creepzors. I'm like uhhh maybe we could have dated if you hadn't ever opened your mouth? Or maybe we could have dated if... you were a different person. I know i'm not perfect either but Is it really that hard to find a nice decent guy?
I'm not asking for much.
-isn't allergic to cats
-likes scary movies- not love stories
-eats a lot of food, and enjoys to cook
-is taller than me
-uses proper grammar and punctuation when texting and talking.
-wants to meet my ma and pa.
-doesnt have shitty tattoos, ok ok I should clarify, I have tattoos, and I love tattoos, but I see A LOT OF SHITTY LOOKIN TATTOOS these days. I'm not even kidding I saw someone with a tattoo on their pinky of a tampon. A dirty tampon with feces and flies all around it. I almost vomited and my next thought was, "umm do you have a motheR, orrr any sort of self respect?"
-likes me for me, including my curly toe and random neck hairs.
-loves his mother
I have many more expectations but its too much to list. Point is.... where are these men? Do they exist?

Ok thats all for now. Sanks. G'day mate.
